IMPORTANT INSTALLATION SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH TO PERSONS, REVIEW

THESE INSTALLATION SAFETY STEPS BEFORE PROCEEDING

1 READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS.

2 Install only on a properly balanced garage door. An improperly balanced door could result in severe

injury or death. Repairs to cables, spring assemblies, and other hardware must be made by a qualified

service person before installing the operator.

3 Disable all locks and remove all ropes connected to the garage door before installing the operator.

Ropes connected to a garage door can cause entanglement and death.

4 If possible, install door operator 7 feet or more above the floor with the manual release handle

mounted 6 feet above the floor.

5 Do not connect the operator to the power source until instructed to do so.

6 Locate the wall station within sight of the door at a minimum height of 5 feet so that small children

cannot reach it. Locate the wall station away from all moving parts of the door.

7 Install the User Safety Label on the wall adjacent to the wall station.

8 Upon completion of the installation, the door must reverse when it comes in contact with a 1-1/2” high

object (or a 2x4 laid flat at the center of the door) on the floor and when the infrared safety beam is

blocked.

9 Do not wear watches, rings or loose clothing while installing or servicing an operator. Jewelry or

loose clothing can be caught in the mechanism of the garage door or the operator.

10 DISCONNECT THE ELECTRIC POWER FROM THE GARAGE DOOR OPERATOR BEFORE MAKING

ANY REPAIRS OR REMOVING THE COVER.

1 Check the Door Balance

1 From outside the garage, slowly open the door all the

way, and then close it all the way. Notice if there is
any binding, sticking or rubbing. The door should move
smoothly in both directions.

2 Raise the garage door about halfway up. Carefully

release the door and see if the door balances. It should
stay in place. Close the door.

� IMPORTANT: If the garage door is unbalanced or

the door travel isn’t smooth, have a qualified garage
door professional adjust or repair the door.

2 Attach the Rail to the Operator

1 Place the operator head on the garage floor with

cardboard underneath it to protect the finish.

� NOTE: To prevent upsetting the pre-adjusted door

limits in the operator, keep the trolley at the same place
on the rail until the sprocket is on the drive shaft.

2 Align the rail over the center of the operator head.

3 Be sure the flat on the sprocket lines up with the flat on

the drive shaft.

4 Slide the sprocket onto the shaft.

3 Locate the Header Bracket Position

1 Check whether door is a sectional or one-piece jamb type.

Note the differences in mounting header bracket,
door arm assembly and hanging the operator.

2 Close the door.

3 From inside the garage, use a pencil to mark the

vertical centerline of the door on the header wall and
on the top panel of a sectional door or on the top edge
of a jamb door.

4 Examine the area above the center of the door on the

door header wall for a header bracket mounting location.

5 Open the door to the high-rise point (the point where

the top edge of the door is highest above the floor) and
measure the distance to the floor.

6 Close the door and use a pencil to mark the header

wall 1” above (sectional) or 7” above (jamb) the
measured high-rise point.

� NOTE: In some installations, the header bracket

location will be higher than the door header. This will
require adding a 2x4 (or larger) cross piece to the wall
studs to provide a mounting location for the header
bracket. Use lag screws (not supplied) to attach the
2x4 to the studs.

7 On sectional doors with low headroom, the header

bracket can be attached to the ceiling up to 6” back
from the header wall (see next step).

6 Hang the Operator

Installation requirements vary with garage construction.
Hanging brackets should be angled to provide rigid
support. Hanging material is not provided. Angle iron
and lag screws are recommended. DO NOT USE NAILS.
Following are typical operator hanging methods. Cer tain
installations will require improvised methods.
1 Raise the operator head and set it on top of a stepladder

(use extra spacers on top of ladder if it isn’t tall enough).

2 SECTIONAL DOORS: Carefully open the door to the

full up position. Lay a 2x4 across the top section of the
door as a spacer. Adjust the operator height until the rail
touches the spacer. The rail should be close to level.

JAMB DOORS: Carefully open the door to the high-

rise point. Adjust the operator height until the rail is 2”
above the door high-rise point. The rail should angle
up towards the header wall.

3 Center the operator head and rail with the centerline

mark on the top of the door.

4 For finished ceilings only: An angle iron cross piece

between the two closest joists above the operator will be
required. Mark mounting hole locations, drill pilot holes
and attach the piece with two lag screws (not supplied).

5 Measure the distance from each of the operator’s

hanging tabs to the ceiling joists or angle iron cross piece.

6 Cut two angle iron pieces to the required lengths for

hanging brackets. Bend brackets if required.

• For unfinished ceilings: Hold each bracket in place
and use a pencil to mark the locations where they will
be attached to the joists, drill pilot holes and attach the
pieces with two lag screws (not supplied).

• For finished ceilings with an angle iron cross piece:
Attach the two hanging brackets to the cross piece
with two bolts and two keps nuts (not supplied).

7 Attach operator to hanging brackets using two 5/16-18 x

1” hex bolts and two 5/16-18 keps nuts (supplied). Insert
bolts from the inside of hanger brackets with the nuts on
the outside of the operator. Tighten nuts with a ½” socket.

3

8 Tighten all hanging hardware.

9 Open and close the door manually. The door should

clear the rail by at least 1”.

10 Attach the trolley’s release lever to the red release

handle with the cord supplied so the handle is at least
6 feet from the floor. Cut off any excess cord.

11 Press the light cover release tabs in to open the covers.

WARNING

Children operating or playing with a garage door operator can injure themselves or others. The garage
door could cause serious injury or death. Do not allow children to operate the remote control(s) or
the wall station. Install the wall station out of reach of children and away from all moving parts of
the door. The door must be clearly visible from the wall station. A moving garage door could injure
someone under it. Only activate the door when it is properly adjusted, when it can be seen clearly
and when there are no obstructions to the door travel.

� NOTE: 22 AWG 2-conductor wall station and safety

beam wire is supplied with the operator, Use this wire
or the installation’s pre-wiring. For additional wire,
contact Linear for information regarding the 24-pack
Model HAE00009 wire and wire clip kit.

� UL NOTE: All low voltage Class 2 cable used with this

operator must be UL Listed Type CL2, CL2P, CL2R, or
CL2X or other cable with equivalent or better electrical,
mechanical, and flammability ratings.

1 Strip back ½” of insulation and connect a wire to each

of the two terminals on the back of the wall station.

2 Use the screws provided to mount the wall station near

an access door at a minimum height of five feet. SEE

IMPORTANT WARNING ABOVE!

3 For non-prewired installations, route the wire to the

back of the operator. Use insulated staples (not
supplied) to secure the wire. Staples must straddle
both wires to avoid electrical shorts.

4 Cut the wall station wire about 6” longer than needed to

reach the operator terminals. Strip back ½” of insulation.

5 Connect either wire to the operator’s PUSHBUTTON

terminal and the other wire to the operator’s COMMON
terminal.

6 Apply the User Safety Instruction Label to the wall next

to the wall station. Use staples or tacks to help the
label remain in place over time.

� IMPORTANT! DO NOT PLUG THE OPERATOR IN AT

THIS TIME! More installation is required.

8 Install the Safety Beam

WARNING

Persons, particularly children, could be killed
by a closing garage door without a properly
installed and adjusted safety beam optical
obstacle sensing system.

� NOTE: The safety beam’s infrared light beam must

not be obstructed by the door, or by any part of the
door hardware. Use wooden spacers between the
beam brackets and wall if necessary to create proper
clearance.

1 Assemble the two safety beam brackets from the four

L-shaped brackets using two ¼-20 x ¾” bolts and
¼-20 keps nuts (one nut & bolt for each bracket).

WARNING

To protect small children, do not install the
safety beam higher or lower than instructed.

2 Position the assembled brackets on each side of the

door so the center line of the safety beam lenses
will be 6” above the floor. Use the index marks on
the brackets to make the bracket assemblies equal
lengths. Mark the locations for the bracket mounting
screws (the brackets can be wall or floor mounted).

� NOTE: The safety beam receiver (the unit with two

indicators) should be located on the “shady” side of
the door to prevent sunlight from shining directly into
the receiver’s lens.

3 Drill two 3/16” pilot holes for lag screws at marks.

Mount the brackets with two ¼” x 1-1/4” lag screws
and tighten with a 7/16” socket (or use proper concrete
fasteners if floor mounting).

4 Insert the sender and receiver into the bracket holes

so the lenses of the units will face each other. Twist the
units until the spring clips lock into a detent mark on
the brackets. To protect the units from being bumped
after installation, it is recommended to mount the
sender and receiver inside the brackets as shown.

� IMPORTANT: Be careful to route the safety beam wiring

away from any moving parts of the door or operator.

5 For non-prewired installations, route the wires from

the sender and receiver, up the wall above the door
hardware, then over to the center of the door, then along
the top of the rail (or ceiling), and back to the operator
head. Cut the wires about 6” longer than needed to
reach the operator terminals. Strip back ½” of insulation
from the ends of the wires.

6 For non-prewired installations, secure all the wires

to the wall and ceiling with insulated staples (not
supplied). Staples must straddle both wires to prevent
shorts. Secure the wire to the top of the rail with wire
clips (supplied).

7 At the operator, twist one wire from each pair together,

then twist the other wire from each pair together.

8 Attach either twisted connection to the operator’s

BEAM terminal. Connect the other twisted connection
to the operator’s COMMON terminal.

11 Aligning the Infrared Safety Beam

ADDING A REMOTE

The safety beam has two components, a sender and a receiver. The sender produces a narrow infrared beam that
travels across the bottom of the door opening to the infrared receiver. If an object blocks the infrared beam while the
door is closing, the door will stop, then reverse and fully open (the operator’s light will flash three times).

As a safety feature, the operator will ignore signals from all remote controls if the door is open and the
infrared safety beam is blocked or out of alignment. In this case, the door can be forced closed by pressing
and holding the wall station’s up/down arrow pushbutton (be sure the door area is in clear view).

WARNING

With the door closed, disengage the trolley
from the chain during these alignment tests by
pulling the red release handle.

Safety Beam Test

Serious injury or death from a closing garage
door may result because of failure to test and
adjust safety reverse system. Repeat this test
monthly and adjust as needed.

WARNING

1 Check that the operator has power. The green lights on

the sender and receiver should be lit.

2 If the receiver’s green light is on, but the red light is off,

SAFETY BEAM INDICATORS

the receiver has power but is not detecting the infrared
beam from the sender. The red light might flash when
the beam is partially detected. This can be caused by
mis-alignment or something blocking the beam. Adjust
the safety beam sender and receiver while watching the
receiver’s red light (stay out of the beam while aligning
it). When the red light stays on, the beam is aligned.

4 Push the wall station’s UP/DOWN ARROW button

again. While the traveler is moving to the down
position (toward the door), block the safety beam. THE

TRAVELER MUST STOP, THEN REVERSE TO THE
UP POSITION. The operator’s lights should flash three

times.

5 Place an object in the path of the safety beam. Check

that constant pressure is required on the wall station’s
UP/DOWN ARROW button to cause the traveler
to move toward the down position. Release the
pushbutton before the operator stops; check that the
traveler returns to the up position.

12 Remote Controls

The operator is supplied with a three-button remote control (the second and third buttons can be used to control an
additional operator or gate if it contains a Linear MegaCode™ receiver). Additional single and multi-button remote
controls can be purchased. An unlimited number of remote controls can be used with this operator. The short white
wire on the back of the operator serves as an antenna for the remote controls. Do not cut off the white wire or the
remote controls will not operate well.

WARNING

Children operating or playing with a garage door
operator can injure themselves or others. The
garage door could cause serious injury or death.
Do not allow children to operate the remote
control(s) or the wall station. A moving garage
door could injure or kill someone under it. Activate
the operator only when the door is clearly visible,
free of obstructions and adjusted properly.

To Add or Remove a Remote Control

1 Press the operator’s LEARN button. The red LEARN

light will glow. The red light will stay on for about 15
seconds. A remote must be added or removed while

the red LEARN light is still on.

2 Send a signal from a remote. The opener’s light and

the red light will flash once if a remote was added, or
the opener’s light and the red light will flash four times
if a remote was removed.

3 Repeat Steps 1 & 2 for any additional remote controls.

To Remove all Remote Controls

1 Press and hold the operator’s LEARN button for ten

seconds or more.

2 Release the LEARN button. The red LEARN light will

blink three times signaling that all of the remotes
in the operator’s memory were erased. The red

LEARN light will turn off, then turn on for 15 seconds.
A remote control can be entered during this time using
Step 2 above.

Testing

1 Before testing the remote control, straighten out the

operator’s white antenna wire so it points up.

2 Stand clear of the door, press the remote control’s

13 Adjusting the Open and Close Limits

The limit adjustments that control how far the door will
open or close are located on the side of the operator. The
limits should be adjusted so the door opens just short of
any door stops, and closes right at the floor level. Each
full turn of a limit adjustment equals about 2-½” of door
travel.

CAUTION

Set the open and close limits carefully. Setting
the limits beyond the distance that the door can
travel could cause damage to the door, the door
hardware, or operator.

1 If this is a jamb door installation, with the operator

at mid-travel, turn the CLOSE LIMIT adjustment
five turns in the UP direction before proceeding.

2 Activate the remote control. Wait while the door moves

to the open position and stops.

3 Examine the position of the door.

• If the door needs to open more, turn the OPEN LIMIT
adjustment clockwise ¼-turn (towards UP on the label)
to raise the open limit.

• If the door needs to open less, turn the OPEN LIMIT
adjustment counterclockwise ¼-turn (towards DOWN
on the label) to lower the open limit.

� NOTE: On jamb doors, set the open limit so the door

stops just short of level (see figure).

4 Activate the remote control. Wait for the door to move

down a few feet, then activate the remote control again
to stop the door.

5 Repeat Steps 2-4 until the open limit is properly

adjusted.

6 Activate the remote control. Wait while the door moves

to the closed position and stops.

7 Examine the position of the door.

• If the door needs to close more, turn the CLOSE
LIMIT adjustment counterclockwise ¼-turn (towards
DOWN on the label) to lower the close limit.

• If the door needs to close less, turn the CLOSE LIMIT
adjustment clockwise ¼-turn (towards UP on the label)
to raise the close limit.

8 Activate the remote control. Wait for the door to move

up a few feet, then activate the remote control again to
stop the door.

9 Repeat Steps 6-8 until the close limit is properly adjusted.

� NOTE: If the door stops during opening or reverses

during closing before reaching the limits, the door force
adjustment needs to be set. Change the adjustment as
described in the next section then return to this section
to finish setting the limits.

14 Testing & Adjusting the Door Force Safety System

The door force adjustments are located on the side of the
operator. The door force adjustments must be properly
set at all times. The CLOSE FORCE adjustment controls
how much force is required to cause the door to reverse
direction if an obstruction is encountered during closing.
The OPEN FORCE adjustment controls how much
force is required to stop the door if an obstruction is
encountered during opening.

SETTING THE DOOR FORCE

ADJUSTING THE
CLOSE FORCE

WARNING

Too much door force will interfere with the
proper operation of the safety system. SOMEONE
COULD BE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED IF THE
DOOR FORCE IS SET TOO HIGH. A closing door

UNDER-SETTING THE CLOSE FORCE

might not reverse properly when required and
someone could be pinned under it. An opening
door might not stop when going up and someone
hanging on the door could get pinned between
the door and the header. Do not increase the
door force beyond what is required to move the
door. DO NOT USE THE DOOR FORCE ADJUSTMENT
TO COMPENSATE FOR A BINDING OR STICKING
GARAGE DOOR. PERFORM THE SAFETY REVERSAL
SYSTEM TEST (STEPS 4-6) MONTHLY!

� NOTE: Read the following directions carefully before

setting the door force adjustments.

SETTING THE CLOSE FORCE

WARNING

Always perform the Door Force Safety System Test
after making any adjustments to the operator.

Door Force Safety System Test

1 Start with the door open. Use the remote control to

cycle the door during these tests.

Adjusting the Close Force

2 Turn the CLOSE FORCE adjustment 1/8-turn at a time

in the DECREASE direction (counterclockwise) until the
door stops and reverses mid travel while going down.

3 Turn the CLOSE FORCE adjustment 1/8-turn at a time

in the INCREASE direction (clockwise) until the door
fully closes without reversing.

Safety Reversal System Test

4 Lay a 2 x 4 board flat on the floor where it will be struck

by the center of the door as it closes.

5 Verify that the door reverses when it strikes the board.

The door must reverse within two seconds after
striking the board.

� NOTE: If the door stops after encountering the board

and does not reverse, the CLOSE FORCE needs to be
DECREASED.

6 Repeat the Safety Reversal System Test until the door

reverses within two seconds of striking the board.

Adjusting the Open Force

7 Turn the OPEN FORCE adjustment 1/8-turn at a time

in the DECREASE direction (counterclockwise) until
the door stops mid travel while going up.

8 Turn the OPEN FORCE adjustment 1/8-turn at a time

in the INCREASE direction (clockwise) until the door
fully opens without stopping.
