Safety Symbol Overview

 WARNING

• This type of warning symbol is used to indicate possible mechanical hazards that may cause serious injuries or death.

 CAUTION

• This type of warning symbol is used to indicate the possibility of damage to the garage door or opener.

Sectional Door One -Piece Door

Check the following items before assembling the opener:

• Identify the door type: sectional door or one-piece jamb door.

• Ensure your garage door is balanced and is not sticking or binding.

• Here is how to check the door balance: ° From outside the garage, slowly open the door all the way and close it all the way – DOOR

SHOULD NOT BIND OR RUB.

° Raise the door halfway up – DOOR SHOULD STAY IN PLACE, SUPPORTED ENTIRELY BY ITS

SPRING.

 IMPORTANT

• IF THE GARAGE DOOR FAILS EITHER OF THESE TESTS, HAVE A QUALIFIED GARAGE DOOR PROFESSIONAL ADJUST OR REPAIR THE DOOR.

• If the garage door is lightweight (made with frame and skin, not solid), it must be braced or reinforced before installing the opener (including the door frame). Check with a qualified service professional for a door reinforcement kit.

• If you do not have an access door in addition to the garage door, you should install an emergency key release kit.

• If your door is more than 7’ (2.1 m) high, you will need a rail extension kit (sold separately).

• With the garage door closed, check alignment of door and garage floor. The gap, if any, should be no more than 1/4” (6 mm). If the gap is larger than this, repair floor or door before installing opener.

The garage door opener and all accessories are packaged in one carton.

2. Mounting the Sensor on the Door Track

Clip the mounting bracket onto the garage door track. Ensure the sensor is mounted between 4” (10 cm) and 6” (15 cm) above the ground. Follow the same procedure to install the sensor on the other track ensuring the sensors are facing each other.

Important Information: The safety beam sensor can detect obstacles in the path of its invisible beam. When the beam is obstructed while the door is closing, the door will stop immediately, reverse to the fully open position and the opener lights will flash. It is important to ensure the invisible infrared is unobstructed by any part of the garage door, tracks, other hardware or objects near the garage door.

1. Identify the Transmitter and the Receiver

The unit with the red LED is the transmitting sensor. The unit with the blue LED is the receiving sensor. Avoid sunlight shining directly into the receiving sensor.

 NOTE

• Receiving sensor is labelled “Receive” on the wire.

3. Mounting the Sensor on the Wall (Optional)

For wall mounting, use a wooden block to increase depth providing enough clearance for the sensor beam to be unobstructed.

4. Mounting the Sensor on the Floor (Optional)

For floor mounting, use a wooden block to elevate the sensor brackets, if necessary. Ensure the sensor is no higher than 6” (15 cm) above floor. Fasten the screws to the floor with concrete anchors (not included).

Wood Block

4” to 6” (10 to 15 cm)

 WARNING

• Be sure power is not connected to the garage door opener while installing the safety beam sensor.

• The safety beam sensor must be installed and aligned properly.

• This safety device must not be disabled.

• The safety infrared sensor must not be installed higher than 6” (15 cm) above the garage floor.

• Emergency release handle should hang 6’ (1.8 m) above floor. Adjust rope length if it is necessary.

 WARNING

• Use extreme care when pulling release handle. DO NOT use handle to pull door open or closed.

• Never use emergency release handle unless garage doorway is clear of persons and obstructions.

 NOTE

Remove the spring bracket from the mounting bracket if installing to the wall or floor.

1. Slide the sensor from the mounting bracket.

2. Slide the spring bracket from the mounting bracket.

3. Re-install and secure the sensor to the mounting

bracket.

5. Route and Secure the Sensor Wires

Run the wires up the wall, then over to the centre of the door. Secure the wires to the wall with wire holders. Run the wires along the top of the T-rail and secure them with 4 wire clips provided.

6. Connect the Wires to the Opener

Twist like-coloured wires together. Connect the wires to the terminals. Wires are not polarity sensitivity (either wire to either terminal).

Black White

 WARNING

• Wall console must be installed within sight of the garage door, out of reach to children at a minimum height of 5’ (1.5 m) and away from all moving parts of door.

• Be sure power is not connected before installing the wall console.

• Wall console should only be activated when door can be seen clearly, is properly adjusted and there are no obstructions to door travel.

• Always keep garage door in sight until completely closed. Never permit anyone to cross path of closing garage door.

7. Check the Safety Beam Sensor LED

Plug in the opener. The receiving sensor indicator's blue LED should glow steadily if the wiring and alignment are correct. The transmitting sensor indicator's red LED will glow steadily regardless of alignment or obstruction.

Align the sensors

8. Align the Safety Beam Sensor

If the receiver LED is off, dim, or flickering (while the invisible light beam path is not obstructed), alignment is required.

Receiving Sensor (Blue LED)

Blue Light:

On– Beam Aligned. No Obstructions. Off – Beam Not Aligned Or Obstruction – Sensors Need Alignment. Dim/Flickering – Sensors Need Alignment.

If the blue LED is flashing or off, slide the mounting bracket up or down on the track until the blue LED is steadily on. The tab for the sensor can also be adjusted by a slight bend if needed for alignment. When properly adjusted both the red and blue LED will be steadily on. After two minutes the sensors will go into sleep mode and the red and blue LED will flash every 10 seconds. When the door is closing, the sensors will return to normal operation with red and blue LED steadily on.

Transmitting Sensor (Red LED)

Red Light: On – Power On. Off – Power Off.

 NOTE

• Be sure to stay out of the beam’s path while aligning.

• The LED in the safety beam sensors will flash in every 10 seconds during standby mode.

9 Testing with Obstruction

With the sensors properly aligned, place an obstacle in the path of the beam. The transmitting sensor's red LED should be on, the receiving sensor's blue LED should be off. Remove the obstacle, both LEDs should be on steadily.

 NOTE

If the transmitting sensor LED does not glow steadily, check the following:

I. Power to the opener is connected. II. A short in the white or white/red wires (from wire holders or at the openers terminals). III. Incorrect wiring between sensors and opener. IV. A broken wire.

If the transmitting sensor LED glows steadily but the receiving sensor LED doesn’t glow:

I. Check alignment. II. Check for an open wire to the receiving sensor. III. Check for dirt on lens, or sun shining into lens.

Test Safety Reversal System

With the door fully open, place a 1 1/2” (3.8 cm) board (or 2x4 laid flat) on the floor, centred under the garage door. Close the door by pressing the button on the wall console. After making contact with the board, the door should stop then reverse to a fully open position.

If the door fails to reverse:

• If the door stops on the obstruction, re-adjust the down travel limit as it is not travelling far

enough in the down direction.

• Repeat the test until the door reverses upon striking the obstruction.

Test Safety Beam Sensor System

To test the safety beam sensor system, open the door to the fully open position.

1. Place an obstacle (such as the opener carton) to break the safety infrared beam.

2. Press the push button to close the door.

3. The door should not move more than 1” (2.5 cm), and the opener light will flash. If this does not happen:

• Ensure the safety beam sensors are aligned properly (refer to “Install Safety Beam Sensor System”).

• Ensure the obstacle is breaking the beam by checking the receiving sensor's blue LED is off.

• If everything fails, call for a trained door systems technician.

 WARNING

• Without a properly installed safety reversing sensor, persons (particularly small children) could be seriously injured or killed by a closing garage door.
