To prevent SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from a moving gate/door:
•   Entrapment protection devices MUST be installed to protect anyone 
who may come near a moving gate/door.
•   Locate entrapment protection devices to protect in BOTH the open 
and close gate/door cycles.
•   Locate entrapment protection devices to protect between moving 
gate/door and RIGID objects, such as posts or walls.
STEP 5
INSTALL ENTRAPMENT PROTECTION
This operator contains an inherent (internal) entrapment protection system and REQUIRES the addition of an external monitored entrapment 
protection system (non-contact photoelectric sensor or contact edge sensor) for EACH entrapment zone prior to gate/door movement. A monitored 
device sends a pulsed signal to the operator so the operator is aware of the device. If the operator does not receive the signal from the device it will 
not run.
An entrapment zone is every location or point of contact where a person can become entrapped between a moving gate/door and a stationary object. 
Your application may contain one or many entrapment zones. Property owners are obligated to test entrapment protection devices monthly. Use only 
LiftMaster approved entrapment protection devices (refer to the accessory page).
INSTALLATION
CONTACT SENSORS (EDGE SENSORS)
If the electrically activated edge sensor comes in contact with an obstruction while the gate/door is moving, the gate/door will stop or reverse. The 
gate/door will not be able to travel in that direction until the obstruction is cleared.
NON-CONTACT SENSORS
If the photoelectric sensor beam gets blocked while the gate/door is moving, the gate/door will stop or reverse. The gate/door will not be able to travel 
in that direction until the obstruction is cleared. Monitored photoelectric sensors MUST be used. If a monitored photoelectric sensor is not working or 
loses power or the beam is blocked, then ALL gate/door operation in that direction will stop.

STEP 5 continued...
INSTALL ENTRAPMENT PROTECTION
There are three options for wiring the entrapment protection devices depending on the specific device and how the device will function. Refer to the 
specific entrapment protection device manual for more information. These entrapment protection device inputs are for monitored devices, which 
include pulsed photoelectric sensors, resistive edge sensors, and pulsed edge sensors. NOTE: Only one monitored entrapment protection device may 
be wired to each input. Additional entrapment protection devices may be wired to the expansion board.
CONTROL BOARD
CLOSE EYES/INTERRUPT (2 Terminals)
The CLOSE EYES/INTERRUPT input is for photoelectric sensor 
entrapment protection for the close direction. When an obstruction is 
sensed during gate/door closing the gate/door will open to the full open 
position and resets the Timer-to-Close. This input will be disregarded 
during gate/door opening.
CLOSE EDGE (2 Terminals)
The CLOSE EDGE input is for edge sensor entrapment protection for the 
close direction. When an obstruction is sensed during gate/door closing 
the gate/door will reverse to the full open position, disengaging the 
Timer-to-Close. This input will be disregarded during gate/door opening.
OPEN EYES/EDGE (2 Terminals)
The OPEN EYES/EDGE input is for photoelectric sensor or edge sensor 
entrapment protection for the open direction. When an obstruction is 
sensed during gate/door opening the gate/door will stop. This input will 
be disregarded during gate/door closing.
EXPANSION BOARD

POWER WIRING
NOTE: The operator can also be powered by solar panels, refer to the dealer extranet 
on LiftMaster.com for more information.
Proper grounding gives an electrical charge, such as from an electrical static discharge 
or a near lightning strike, a path from which to dissipate its energy safely into the 
earth. The ground wire MUST be a single, whole piece of wire. NEVER splice two wires 
for the ground wire. If you should cut the ground wire too short, break it, or destroy 
its integrity, replace it with a single wire length. Use the proper type earth ground 
rod for your local area. In certain circumstances, metal water pipes may be allowed 
for grounding the operator. Check and follow all local codes for proper grounding 
procedures.
1.   Turn off the AC power from the main power source circuit breaker.
2.  Run the AC power wires to the operator.
3.  Loosen the nut on the cover of the EMI board and slide the cover back.
4.   Connect the green wire to the ground wire using a wire nut.
5.  Connect the white wire to NEUTRAL using a wire nut.
6.  Connect the black wire to HOT using a wire nut.
7.   Ensure the power wiring connector is connected to either the 120 or 240 Vac socket depending on the application. Factory default is 120 Vac.
8.  Slide the EMI cover back and tighten nut.
9.  Connect the batteries then turn on the AC power. Connect the J15 plug to the control board.
NOTE: The AC Power switch on the operator will turn the incoming 120/240 Vac power ON or OFF. The operator's AC Power switch ONLY turns off AC 
power to the control board and DOES NOT turn off battery power.
WIRING
To reduce the risk of SEVERE INJURY or DEATH:
•   ANY maintenance to the operator or in the area near the operator 
MUST NOT be performed until disconnecting the electrical power (AC 
or solar and battery) and locking-out the power via the operator 
power switch. Upon completion of maintenance the area MUST be 
cleared and secured, at that time the unit may be returned to service.
•   Disconnect power at the fuse box BEFORE proceeding. Operator 
MUST be properly grounded and connected in accordance with 
national and local electrical codes. NOTE: The operator should be on 
a separate fused line of adequate capacity.
•   ALL electrical connections MUST be made by a qualified individual.
•   DO NOT install ANY wiring or attempt to run the operator without 
consulting the wiring diagram. We recommend that you install an 
edge sensor BEFORE proceeding with the control station installation.
•   ALL power wiring should be on a dedicated circuit and well 
protected. The location of the power disconnect should be visible 
and clearly labeled.
•  ALL power and control wiring MUST be run in separate conduit.

 INITIAL LIMITS AND FORCE ADJUSTMENT
The gate/door MUST be attached to the operator before setting the 
limits and force. 
1.   Press and release the SET OPEN and SET CLOSE buttons 
simultaneously to enter limit setting mode.
2.   Press and hold one of the MOVE GATE buttons to move the gate/door 
to the open or close limit.
3.   Press and release the SET CLOSE or SET OPEN button depending on 
which limit is being set.
4.   Press and hold one of the MOVE GATE button to move the gate/door 
to the other limit.
5.   Press and release the SET CLOSE or SET OPEN button depending on 
which limit is being set.
6.  Cycle the gate/door open and close. This automatically sets the force.
When limits are set properly the operator will automatically exit limit 
setting mode.
INTRODUCTION
Your operator is designed with electronic controls to make travel limit 
and force adjustments easy. The adjustments allow you to program 
where the gate/door will stop in the open and close position. The 
electronic controls sense the amount of force required to open and close 
the gate/door. The force is adjusted automatically when you program the 
limits but should be fine tuned using the REVERSAL FORCE dial on the 
control board (refer to Fine Tune the Force section) to compensate for 
environmental changes. The limit setup LEDs (located next to the SET 
OPEN and SET CLOSE buttons) indicate the status of the limits, refer to 
the table to the right.
The limits can be set using the control board (below) or a remote control 
(refer to Limit Setup with a Remote Control in the Programming section). 
Setting the limits with a remote control requires a 3-button remote 
control programmed to OPEN, CLOSE, and STOP.
NOTE: The Test Buttons on the control board will not work until the limits 
have been set.
To reduce the risk of SEVERE INJURY or DEATH: 
•   Without a properly installed safety reversal system, persons 
(particularly small children) could be SERIOUSLY INJURED or 
KILLED by a moving gate or door.
•   Too much force on gate/door will interfere with proper operation of 
safety reversal system.
•   NEVER increase force beyond minimum amount required to move 
gate/door.
•   NEVER use force adjustments to compensate for a binding or 
sticking gate/door.
•   If one control (force or travel limits) is adjusted, the other control 
may also need adjustment.
•   After ANY adjustments are made, the safety reversal system MUST 
be tested. Gate/door MUST reverse on contact with a rigid object.

FINE TUNE THE FORCE
The REVERSAL FORCE DIAL on the control board is used for fine tuning 
the force in cases where wind or environmental changes may affect the 
gate/door travel. 
Based on the length and weight of the gate/door it may be necessary to 
make additional force adjustments. The force setting should be high 
enough that the gate/door will not reverse by itself nor cause nuisance 
interruptions, but low enough to prevent serious injury to a person. The 
force setting is the same for both the open and close gate/door 
directions.
1.  Open and close the gate/door with the TEST BUTTONS. 
2.   If the gate/door stops or reverses before reaching the fully open or 
closed position, increase the force by turning the force control slightly 
clockwise. 
3.   Perform the “Obstruction Test” after every force setting adjustment 
(see below).
OBSTRUCTION TEST
The operator is equipped with an automatic obstruction sensing feature. 
If the gate/door encounters an obstruction during motion, the operator 
will automatically reverse or stop the gate/door. After any adjustments are 
made, test the operator: 
1.   Open and close the gate/door with the TEST BUTTONS, ensuring that 
the gate/door is stopping at the proper open and close limit positions.
2.   Place a solid object under the open gate/door. Ensure that the gate/
door, and the solid object can withstand the forces generated during 
this obstruction test.
3.   Run the gate/door in the close direction. The gate/door should stop 
and reverse upon contact with the solid object. If the gate/door does 
not reverse off the solid object, reduce the force setting by turning the 
force control slightly counter-clockwise. The gate/door should have 
enough force to reach both the open and close limits, but MUST 
reverse after contact with a solid object.
4. Repeat test for open direction as necessary.
ADJUST THE LIMITS
After both limits are set and the operator is ready to run, one limit can be 
adjusted independently from the other by following steps 1-3 of the Initial 
Limit and Force Adjustment section, on page 17.
