Preparation
Test the Wi-Fi Signal Strength
Check the Door
Before You Begin
You will need:
Wi-Fi enabled smartphone, tablet or laptop
Broadband Internet Connection
Wi-Fi signal in the garage (2.4 Ghz, 802.11b/g/n required)
Password for your home network (router's main account, not guest network)
To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH:
ALWAYS call a trained door systems technician if garage door binds, sticks, or
is out of balance. An unbalanced garage door may NOT reverse when
required.
NEVER try to loosen, move or adjust garage door, door springs, cables,
pulleys, brackets or their hardware, ALL of which are under EXTREME tension.
Disable ALL locks and remove ALL ropes connected to garage door BEFORE
installation and operating garage door opener to avoid entanglement.
DO NOT install on a one-piece door if using devices or features providing
unattended close. Unattended devices and features are to be used ONLY with
sectional doors.
Test the Wi-Fi Signal Strength
Make sure your mobile device is connected to your Wi-Fi network. Hold your mobile
device in the place where your garage door opener will be installed and check the Wi-Fi
signal strength.
Check Signal Strength. If you see:
Wi-Fi signal is strong.
The garage door opener will
connect to your Wi-Fi
network.
To prevent damage to garage door and opener:
ALWAYS disable locks BEFORE installing and operating the opener.
ONLY operate garage door opener at 120V, 60 Hz to avoid malfunction and
damage.
Wi-Fi signal is weak.
The garage door opener may connect

of the options below to improve the
Wi-Fi signal:
Before you begin:
1. Disable locks and remove any ropes connected to the garage door.
2. Lift the door halfway up. Release the door. If balanced, it should stay in place,
supported entirely by its springs.
3. Raise and lower the door to check for binding or sticking. If your door binds,
sticks, or is out of balance, call a trained door systems technician.
4. Check the seal on the bottom of the door. Any gap between the floor and the
bottom of the door must not exceed 1/4 inch (6 mm). Otherwise, the safety
reversal system may not work properly.
5. The opener should be installed above the center of the door. If there is a torsion
spring or center bearing plate in the way of the header bracket, it may be installed
within 4 feet (1.2 m) to the left or right of the door center. See page 10.

Introduction
Be sure power is NOT connected to the garage door opener BEFORE installing the
safety reversing sensor.
To prevent SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from closing garage door:
Correctly connect and align the safety reversing sensor. This required safety
device MUST NOT be disabled.
Install the safety reversing sensor so beam is NO HIGHER than 6" (15 cm)
above garage floor.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE SAFETY REVERSING SENSORS
The safety reversing sensors must be connected and aligned correctly before the
garage door opener will move in the down direction.
The sending sensor (with an amber LED) transmits an invisible light beam to the
receiving sensor (with a green LED). If an obstruction breaks the light beam while the
door is closing, the door will stop and reverse to the full open position, and the garage
door opener lights will flash 10 times.
NOTE: For energy efficiency the garage door opener will enter sleep mode when the door
is fully closed. The sleep mode shuts the garage door opener down until activated. The
sleep mode is sequenced with the garage door opener light bulb; as the light bulb turns
off the sensor LEDs will turn off and whenever the garage door opener lights turn on the
sensor LEDs will light. The garage door opener will not go into the sleep mode until the
garage door opener has completed 5 cycles upon power up.
When installing the safety reversing sensors check the following:
Sensors are installed inside the garage, one on either side of the door.
Sensors are facing each other with the lenses aligned and the receiving sensor
lens does not receive direct sunlight.
Sensors are no more than 6 inches (15 cm) above the floor and the light beam is
unobstructed.

Safety reversing
sensor wires
1. Cut the end of the safety reversing sensor wire, making sure there is enough wire
to reach the pre-installed wires from the wall.
2. Separate the safety reversing sensor wires and strip 7/16 inch (11 mm) of
insulation from each end. Choose two of the pre-installed wires and strip 7/16
inch (11 mm) of insulation from each end. Make sure that you choose the same
color pre-installed wires for each sensor.
3. Connect the pre-installed wires to the sensor wires with wire nuts making sure
the colors correspond for each sensor. For example, the white wire would
connect to the yellow wire and the white/black wire would connect to the purple
wire.
4. At the garage door opener, strip 7/16 inch (11 mm) of insulation from each end
of the wires previously chosen for the safety reversing sensors. Twist the likecolored wires together.
5. Insert the wires connected to the white safety sensor wires to the white terminal

1 Connect Power
THERE ARE TWO OPTIONS FOR CONNECTING POWER:
OPTION A TYPICAL WIRING
1. Plug in the garage door opener into a grounded outlet.
2. DO NOT run garage door opener at this time.
TYPICAL WIRING
To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from electrocution or fire:
Be sure power is NOT connected to the opener, and disconnect power to
circuit BEFORE removing cover to establish permanent wiring connection.
Garage door installation and wiring MUST be in compliance with ALL local
electrical and building codes.
NEVER use an extension cord, 2-wire adapter, or change plug in ANY way to
make it fit outlet. Be sure the opener is grounded.
OPTION B PERMANENT WIRING
If permanent wiring is required by your local code, refer to the following
procedure. To make a permanent connection through the 7/8 inch hole in the top
of the motor unit (according to local code):
1. Remove the motor unit cover screws and set the cover aside.
2. Remove the attached 3-prong cord.
3. Connect the black (line) wire to the screw on the brass terminal; the white
(neutral) wire to the screw on the silver terminal; and the ground wire to the green
ground screw. The opener must be grounded.
4. Reinstall the cover.
To avoid installation difficulties, do not activate the garage door opener at this
time.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, your garage door opener has a grounding type plug
with a third grounding pin. This plug will only fit into a grounding type outlet. If the plug
doesn’t fit into your outlet, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet.

2 Ensure the Safety Reversing Sensors are Aligned
IF THE AMBER LED ON THE SENDING SENSOR IS NOT GLOWING:
1. Make sure there is power to the garage door opener.
2. Make sure the sensor wire is not shorted/broken.
3. Make sure the sensor has been wired correctly: White wires to white terminal and
white/black wires to gray terminal.
The door will not close if the sensors have not been installed and aligned
correctly.
When the light beam is obstructed or misaligned while the door is closing, the door will
reverse and the garage door opener lights will flash ten times. If the door is already open,
it will not close. The sensors can be aligned by loosening the wing nuts, aligning the
sensors, and tightening the wing nuts.
1. Check to make sure the LEDs in both sensors are glowing steadily. The LEDs in
both sensors will glow steadily if they are aligned and wired correctly.
