PRE-INSTALLATION CHECK LIST ............................................. FOR HELP-1.800.929.3667 OR WWW.OVERHEADDOOR.COM

Things to consider if you are planning to "Do-it-yourself." This opener is designed for use with SECTIONAL doors only.

In many cases you will be replacing an existing door opener with a new one, however, if this will be the first opener installed there are some pre-installation issues which need to be addressed. They are as follows:

The Overhead Door Corporation recommends that you read and fully understand all information and instructions contained herein before choosing a "Do-it-yourself" installation. Any questions should be directed to Overhead Door Corporation or an authorized Overhead Door Dealer.

(The issue numbers below refer to the circled numbers in the illustrations on page 5.)

Check your ceiling where the power head of

your new unit will be mounted. Plan how you

will be mounting the power head. It is possible that ceiling joists may not be in the position needed with respect to the garage door opener. It may be necessary to add an additional bracket and fasteners (not included with your new door opener kit). (Refer to Section 2)

Check the wall directly above the garage

door. The door opener’s header bracket must be

securely fastened to this wall. Insure that the structure will provide a strong mounting location.

(Refer to Section 2)

Check to see if the mounting location for the

Safe-T-Beam® System is clear from obstruction and has a wood surface available for attaching the mounting brackets. The brackets may be attached

to concrete if necessary but extra tools and special fasteners (not supplied) will be required.

(Refer to Section 4 and 5)

NOTE: Mounting brackets must be installed within code specifications.

You need a properly grounded 110-120 Volt

power supply available. The outlet should be

no more than 3 feet from the power head once it is mounted. (Refer to Section 5)

WARNING

DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD! DO NOT USE A PORTABLE GENERATOR! This product is designed to operate on standard house current. DO NOT USE ALTERNATE POWER SUPPLIES.

To avoid damage to your door and/or opener,

make sure you disable and/or remove any door locks, ropes, and/or cables (NOT door lift cables) prior to installing your opener. (Refer to Section 1)

Remove

Insure that your door is properly balanced and

moving freely. (Refer to Section 10)

Is your sectional garage door made of

aluminum, light-weight steel, fiberglass or

glass panels? Additional support bracing must be

added to these type doors. If this is the case, please contact the door manufacturer or authorized dealer so that they can furnish you with a "bracing kit."

(Refer to Section 2)

WARNING

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS OR DAMAGE TO PROPERTY - USE THIS OPENER ONLY WITH SECTIONAL DOORS.

WARNING

If your door jams, binds, is improperly balanced or has a broken spring, have it repaired or adjusted by a trained door system technician. Door springs, cables, pulleys, brackets and associated hardware are under extreme tension and can cause serious injury or death.

(NOT SHOWN) If your garage does not have a

separate entry door, you should consider an

emergency release kit (GER-2) for installation on your garage door.

NOTE: Refer to your local building codes for appropriate construction techniques.

• Attach mounting straps to ceiling using lag bolts (Fig. 2-6).

• Set height of power head to following: (Fig. 2-6). a) Rail must clear door at door’s highest point

of travel.

b) Be level or power head slightly below level.

• Securely tighten power head mounting bolts and nuts.

SAFE-T-BEAM® SYSTEM INSTALLATION FOR HELP-1.800.929.3667 OR WWW.OVERHEADDOOR.COM

WARNING

There should be no electrical power to the opener while installing Safe-T-Beam

wires. If you have plugged in the power cord— UNPLUG IT NOW!

NOTE: The opener will not close the door automatically unless the Safe-T-Beam® System is installed.

NOTE: For Sensors, screws, wire, and insulated staples locate items and Bag 8 from Box 3.

1. Mounting brackets

• Mark both sides of garage door frame or wall no higher than 6" and no lower than 5" above floor

(Fig. 4-1).

• Hold bracket against door frame or wall. – Check if brackets extend out from wall far

enough, so tongue of bracket is beyond door, tracks or any door hardware.

– If not:

a) Mounting bracket extensions are available

through an authorized Overhead Door dealer.

b) Blocks of wood, etc. may be substituted for

extensions.

• Locate top of bracket on your mark (Fig. 4-2).

• Fasten each with 2 screws (Fig. 4-2).

NOTE: Mounting brackets can be attached to the floor or concrete rim using concrete anchors (not provided).

2. Mounting Safe-T-Beam® Source (Red LED) and Sensor (Green LED)

• If garage has only one garage door.

– Determine which side of garage receives most

direct sunlight (Fig. 4-4).

– Red LED should always be on sunny side

whenever possible (Fig. 4-4).

• For multiple doors.

– Preventing crossed signals is critical. – Place source and sensor modules on adjacent

doors facing in opposite directions (Fig. 4-4).

NOTE: Mounting brackets can be attached to the floor or concrete rim using concrete anchors (not provided).

• Slide source/sensor onto tongue of bracket

until it clicks into place (Fig. 4-3).

3. Wiring (If NOT pre-wired)

• Route wire from Safe-T-Beam

sensors to power

head using method shown in (Fig. 4-5a).

• Securely fasten wires to wall and ceiling as you

go (Fig. 4-6 on next page). – Use insulated staples. – Staples should be snug only.

3b. Wiring (If pre-wired)

• Route wire from wall to Safe-T-Beam® sensors

(Fig. 4-5b).

• Splice pre-wiring to shortened sensor wire,

match wire pairs dash-to-dash and plain-to- plain. – Trim sensor wire to approximately one foot

(12 inches) from sensor.

– Split and strip ends of sensor wires

and pre-wired wires (Fig. 4-7).

– Splice wires together with (provided)

wire nuts.

• Route wire from ceiling to power head

(Fig. 4-5b).

• Securely fasten wires where they exit

wall and ceiling as you go. – Use insulated staples. – Staples should be snug only.

Staples which are too tight can cut or pinch wires. Cut or pinched wires can cause the Safe-T-Beam System to stop working. When using the insulated staples, make sure you fasten them only as tightly as needed to hold the wire snugly.

4. Split and strip ends of sensor wires (Fig. 4-7).

NOTE: For rear cover locate Box 4.

5. Attach Safe-T-Beam

wire to power head wire

terminal.

• Route Safe-T-Beam

wires through wire guide.

– Insert wire into terminal holes and lightly

press in the orange locking clips above each terminal hole. (You can use a pencil or small screwdriver to comfortably reach in and lightly press down locking clips.) Insert white wires to ‘even’ numbered terminal holes and striped wires into ‘odd’ terminal holes (Fig. 4-8).
