Failure to comply with the following instructions may result in serious personal injury or property damage.

• Read these instructions carefully

• The garage door opener is designed and tested to offer reasonable safe service provided it is installed and operated in strict accordance with the instructions in this manual.

These safety alert symbols mean Warning – a personal safety or property damage instruction. Read these instructions carefully.

Warning: If your garage has no service entrance door, Model 1702E Outside Quick Release must be installed. This accessory allows manual operation of the garage door from outside in case of power failure.

Keep garage door balanced. Do not let the garage door opener compensate for a binding or sticking garage door. Sticking or binding doors must be repaired. Garage doors, door springs, cables, pulleys, brackets and their hardware are under extreme tension and can cause serious personal injury.

Do not attempt to loose, move or adjust them.

Call for garage door service.

Do not wear rings, watches or loose clothing

while installing or servicing a garage door opener. To avoid serious personal injury from

entanglement, remove all ropes connected to the garage door before installing the door opener.

Installation and wiring must be in compliance with your local building and electrical codes. Connect

the power supply cord only to properly earthed mains.

Lightweight doors of fiberglass, aluminum or steel must be substantially reinforced to avoid door damage. (See page 6.) The best solution is

to check with your garage door manufacturer for an opener installation reinforcement kit.

The safety reverse system test is very important. Your garage door MUST reverse on

contact with a 40mm obstacle placed on the floor. Failure to properly adjust the opener may result in serious personal injury from a closing garage door.

Repeat the test once a month and make any needed adjustments.

This unit should not be installed in a damp or wet space.

Door must not extend over public byway during operation.

Start by Reading These Important Safety Instructions

The Protector System must be installed when the force at the edge of the closing door force exceeds 400N (40kg). Excessive force will

interfere with the proper operation of the Safety Reverse System or damage the garage door.

Permanently fasten the caution label adjacent to the wall-mounted door control control button as a reminder of safe operating procedures.

Disengage all existing garage door locks to avoid damage to garage door.

Install the lighted door control button (or any additional push buttons) in a location where the

garage door is visible, at a height of at least

1.5m and out of the reach of children. Do not allow children to operate push button(s) or remote control(s). Serious personal injury from a

closing garage door may result from misuse of the opener.

Activate opener only when the door is in full view, free of obstructions and opener is properly adjusted. No one should enter or leave the garage while the door is in motion. Do not allow children to play near the door.

Use manual release only to disengage the trolley and, if possible, only when the door is closed. Do

not use the red handle to pull the door open or closed.

Disconnect electric power to the garage door opener before making repairs or removing covers.

This product is provided with a power supply cord of special design which, if damaged, must be

replaced by a power supply cord of the same type; such a power supply cord may be obtained

and fitted by a specialist.

INSTALLATION SECTION

Wear protective goggles when working overhead to protect your eyes from injury. Disengage all existing garage door locks to avoid damage to the garage door. To avoid serious personal injury from entanglement, remove all ropes connected to the garage door before installing the opener.

It is recommended that the opener be installed 2,1m (7 feet) or more above the floor where space permits.

Position the Header Bracket

The header bracket must be rigidly fastened to a structural support of the garage. Reinforce the wall or ceiling with a 40mm (1-1/2") board if necessary. Failure to comply may result in improper operation of safety reverse system.

You can attach the header bracket either to the header wall (1) or to the ceiling (3). Follow the instructions which will work best for your particular requirements. With the door closed, mark the vertical centerline (2) of the garage door. Extend line onto header wall above the door. Open door to highest point of travel. Draw an intersecting horizontal line (4) on header wall 5 cm (2") above high point to provide travel clearance for top edge of door.

Install the Header Bracket

NOTE: Refer to vertical center and horizontal lines created in step 12 for proper placement of header bracket.

A. Wall Mount: Center the header bracket (1) on the vertical

center line (2) with the bottom edge of the header bracket on the horizontal line (4) (with the arrow pointing toward the ceiling). Mark all of the header bracket holes (5). Drill 4,5mm (3/16") pilot holes and fasten the header bracket with wood screws (3).

B. Ceiling Mount: Extend vertical center line (2) onto the

ceiling. Center the header bracket (1) on the vertical mark no more than 150mm (6") from the wall. Make sure the arrow is pointing toward the opener. Mark all of the header bracket holes (5). Drill 4,5mm (3/16") pilot holes and fasten the header bracket with wood screws (3). For concrete ceiling mount, use concrete anchors provided.

50mm (2")

150mm (6")

Attach Rail to Header Bracket

Position opener on garage floor below the header bracket. Use packing material to protect the cover. Raise rail until holes in the header sleeve and holes in the header bracket align. Join with clevis pin (1). Insert ring fastener (2) to secure.

NOTE: To enable the rail to clear sectional door springs, it may be necessary to lift opener onto a temporary support. The opener must either be secured to a support or held firmly in place by another person.

Page 7

Position the Opener

NOTE: A 25mm (1") board (1) is convenient for setting an ideal door-to-rail distance (unless headroom is not sufficient).

Raise the opener onto a stepladder. Open garage door. Place a 25mm (1") board (1) laid flat on the top section of door near the centerline as shown. Rest the rail on the board. If the raised door hits the trolley, pull down on the trolley release arm to disconnect the inner and outer trolley sections. The trolley can remain disconnected until connecting door arm to trolley is completed.

Hang the Opener

The opener must be securely fastened to a structural support of the garage.

Three representative installations are shown. Yours may be different. Hanging brackets (1) should be angled (Figure A) to provide rigid support. On finished ceilings, (Figure B) attach a sturdy metal bracket (not supplied) (4) to a structural support before installing the opener. For concrete ceiling mount, (Figure C), use concrete anchors provided. On each side of opener measure the distance from the opener to the structural support (or ceiling). Cut both pieces of the hanging bracket to required lengths. Flatten one end of each bracket and bend or twist to fit the fastening angles. Do not bend at the bracket holes. Drill 4,5mm (3/16") pilot holes in the structural supports (or ceiling). Attach brackets to supports with wood screws (2). Lift opener and fasten to hanging brackets with screw, lock washer and nut (3). Check to make sure rail is centered over the door. REMOVE 25mm (1") board. Operate door manually. If door hits the rail, raise header bracket. Use rail grease and lubricate bottom surface of rail (5).

Attach Emergency Release Rope & Handle

Thread one end of rope (1) through hole in top of red handle so "NOTICE" reads right side up as shown (3). Secure with an overhand knot (2). Knot should be at least 25mm (1") from end of the rope to prevent slipping. Thread other end of rope through hole in release arm of the outer trolley (4). Adjust rope length so that handle is 1,8m (6 feet) above the floor. Secure with an overhand knot.

NOTE: If it is necessary to cut rope, heat seal cut end with a match or lighter to prevent fraying.

Test the Safety Reverse System

The safety reverse system test is important. Garage door must reverse on contact with a 40mm obstacle laid flat on the floor. Failure to properly adjust opener may result in serious personal injury from a closing garage door. Repeat test once a month and adjust as needed.

Procedure: Place a 40mm obstacle (1) laid flat on the floor under the garage door. Operate the door in the down direction. The door must reverse on the obstruction. If the door stops on the obstruction, remove obstruction and repeat

Setting the Limits step 26. Repeat test.

When the door reverses on the 40mm obstacle, remove the obstruction and run the opener through a complete travel cycle. Door must not reverse in closed position. If it does, repeat Setting the Limits and Force steps 26 and 27 and repeat safety reverse test.

Place 20kg at the center of the door and ensure that the door will not move up more than 500mm.

Install the Protector System

™

(See accessories) Install this accessory for all installations on Canopy doors, One-Piece Door with Horizontal and Vertical Track , doors over 2.5m and when the closing force as measured on the bottom of the door is over 400N (40kg).

After opener has been installed and adjusted, The Protector System™ accessory can be installed. Instructions are included

with this accessory.

The Protector System™ provides an additional measure of safety against a small child being caught under a garage door. It uses an invisible beam which, when broken by an

obstruction, causes a closing door to open and prevents an open door from closing and is strongly recommended for homeowners

with young children. Note: The opener will automatically detect the protector system

when it is installed. The opener will not close unless the sensors are aligned.

MAINTENANCE OF YOUR OPENER

CARE OF YOUR OPENER

When properly installed, opener will provide high performance with a minimum of maintenance. The opener does not require additional lubrication. Limit and Force Settings: These settings must be checked and properly set when opener is installed. Weather conditions may cause some minor changes in the door operation, requiring some re-adjustments, particularly during the first year of operation. Refer to Setting the Limits and Force on page 10. Follow the instructions carefully and repeat the safety reverse test after

any adjustment. Remote Control: The remote control may be secured to a car sun visor with the clip provided. Additional remotes can be

purchased at any time for use in all vehicles using garage. Refer to Accessories. Any new remotes must be programmed into the opener. Remote Control Battery: The lithium batteries should produce power for up to 5 years. If transmission range lessens, replace battery .

To Change Battery: To replace batteries, use the visor clip or screwdriver blade to pry open the case. Insert batteries positive side up. To replace cover, snap shut along both sides. Do not dispose of the old battery with household waste. Take batteries to a

proper disposal center.

Once a Month:

• Repeat safety reverse test. Make any necessary adjustments.

• Manually operate door. If it is unbalanced or binding, call for professional garage door service.

• Check to be sure door opens and closes fully. Set Limits and/or Force if necessary.

Once a Year:

• Oil door rollers, bearings and hinges. The opener does not require additional lubrication. Do not grease the door tracks.

• GREASE THE RAIL AND THE TROLLEY.

Page 17

HAVING A PROBLEM?

1. Opener doesn't operate from either door control or remote:

• Does the opener have electric power? Plug lamp into outlet. If it doesn't light, check the fuse box or the circuit breaker. (Some outlets are controlled by a wall switch.)

• Have you disengaged all door locks? Review installation instruction warnings on page 1.

• Is there a build-up of ice or snow under door? The door may be frozen to ground. Remove any obstruction.

• The garage door spring may be broken. Have it replaced.

2. Opener operates from remote but not from door control:

• Is door control button lit? If not, remove the bell wire from the opener terminals. Short the red and white terminals by touching both terminals at the same time with a piece of wire. If the opener runs, check for a faulty wire connection at the door control, a short under the staples, or a broken wire.

• Are wiring connections correct? Review page 7.

3. Door operates from door control but not from remote:

• Replace battery if necessary.

• If you have two or more remotes and only one operates, review Program Your Opener, Remote and Keyless Entry steps 22 and

24.

• Is the door control button flashing? The opener is in lock mode. If you have a Motion Detecting Control Panel, push and hold the Lock button for 2 seconds. The door control button will stop flashing.

4. Remote has short range:

• Is battery installed?

• Change the location of the remote control on the car.

• A metal garage door, foil-backed insulation or metal siding will reduce the transmission range.

5. Door reverses for no apparent reason and opener light doesn't blink:

• Is something obstructing the door? Pull manual release handle. Operate door manually. If it is unbalanced or binding, call for professional garage door service.

• Clear any ice or snow from garage floor area where garage door closes.

• Repeat Setting Limits and Force, see adjustment steps 26 and 27.

Repeat safety reverse test after adjustment is complete.

6. Door reverses for no apparent reason and opener light blinks for 5 seconds after reversing:

Check The Protector System™ (if you have installed this accessory). If the light is blinking, correct alignment.

7. Opener noise is disturbing in living quarters of home:

If operational noise is a problem because of proximity of the opener to the living quarters, Vibration Isolator Kit 89LM can be installed. This kit was designed to reduce the "sounding board effect" and is easy to install.

8. The garage door opens and closes by itself:

Make sure remote push button is not stuck "on".

9. Door stops but doesn't close completely:

Repeat Setting the Limits, see adjustment step 26. Repeat safety reverse test after any adjustment of door arm length, close force or down limit.

10. Door opens but won't close:

• Check The Protector System™ (if you have installed this accessory). If the light is blinking, correct alignment.

• If opener light does not blink and it is a new installation, repeat Setting the Limit and Force steps 26 and 27.

Repeat the safety reverse test after the adjustment is complete.

11. Opener light does not turn on:

Replace light bulb (230V/40W maximum). Replace burned out bulbs with rough service light bulbs.

12. Opener strains:

Door may be unbalanced or springs are broken. Close door and use manual release rope and handle to disconnect trolley. Open and close door manually. A properly balanced door will stay in any point of travel while being supported entirely by its springs. If it does not, call for professional garage door service to correct the problem.

13. Opener motor hums briefly, then won't work:

• Garage door springs are broken. SEE ABOVE.

• If problem occurs on first operation of opener, door is locked. Disable door lock. Repeat safety reverse test after adjustment is complete.

14. Opener won't activate due to power failure:

• Pull manual release rope and handle down to disconnect trolley. Door can be opened and closed manually. When the power is restored, pull the manual release handle down and toward opener. The next time the opener is activated, the trolley will reconnect.

• The Outside Quick Release accessory (if fitted) disconnects the trolley from outside the garage in case of power failure.

Page 18

15. Setting the limits manually:

1. Press and hold the black button until the yellow indicator light starts flashing slowly then release.

2. Adjust the position of the door by using the black and orange buttons. Black moves the door UP (open) and orange

moves the door DOWN (close).

Check to be sure the door opens high enough for your vehicle.

3. Push the remote control or door control. This sets the UP (open) limit and begins closing the door.

Immediately press either the orange or the black button. The door will stop. Adjust the desired DOWN (close) limit position using the black and orange buttons. Check to be sure the door is fully closed without applying excessive pressure on the rail (rail should not bow upwards and the chain/belt should not sag or droop below the rail). Push the remote control or door control. This sets the DOWN (close) limit and begins opening the door.

NOTE: If neither the black or the orange button is pressed, the door will reverse off the floor and the DOWN travel limit will be

set automatically.

4. Open and close the door with the remote control or door control 2 or 3 times.

• If the door does not stop in the desired UP (open) position or reverses before the door stops at the DOWN (close) position, repeat Setting the Limits and Force, see adjustment steps 26 and 27.

• If the door stops in both the desired UP (open) and DOWN (close) positions, proceed to Test the Safety Reversal System.

SPECIAL NOTE: Merlin strongly recommends that the protector system be installed on all garage door openers.

Your opener can be activated by any of the following devices:

• The Lighted Door Control Button. Hold the button down until door starts to move.

• The Outside Keylock or Keyless Entry System (if you have installed either of these accessories).

• The Remote Control Transmitter. Hold the push button down until the door starts to move.

Opening the Door Manually: Door should be fully closed if possible. Weak or broken springs could allow an open door to fall rapidly. Property damage or serious personal injury could result.

The door can be opened manually by pulling the release handle down. To reconnect the door, pull the release handle down and toward the opener.

Do not use the manual release handle to pull the door opener or closed. When the Opener is Activated by Remote Control or Lighted Door Control Button:

1. If open, the door will close. If closed, the door will open.

2. If closing, the door will stop.

3. If opening, the door will stop (allowing space for entry and

exit of pets and for fresh air).

4. If the door has been stopped in a partially open or closed

position, it will reverse direction.

5. If an obstruction is encountered while closing, the door will

reverse.

6. If an obstruction is encountered while opening, the door will

reverse and stop.

7. The optional Protector System™ uses an invisible beam

which, when broken by an obstruction, causes a closing door to open and prevents an open door from closing. It is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED for homeowners with young

children. Allow a 15 minute cooling period after 5 continuous operations of the opener. The opener light will turn on: 1. when opener is initially plugged in; 2. when the power is briefly interrupted; 3. when the opener is activated. The light turns off automatically after 2-1/2 minutes. Bulb size is 230V/40W maximum.
