Installation Step 6

Install the Wall Control

• Strip 1/4" of insulation from one end of the bell

wire; connect the wire to the two screw terminals

on the back of the Wall Control: white to 2 and

white/red to 1.

•Locate the Wall Control within sight of the door

at a minimum height of 5 feet where small

children cannot reach, and away from all

moving parts of the door and door hardware.

Fasten the Ughted Push Button Wall Control

securely with 6ABx1-1/2" screws. The console

style uses 6ABxl" screws. If installing into drywall,

ddll 5/32" holes and use the anchors provided.

•Run the bell wire up the walt and across the ceiling

to the opener. Use insulated staples to secure the

wire in several places. Be careful not to pierce the

wire with a staple, thereby resulting in a short.

•Receiver terminal screws and the antenna are

located on the back panel of the opener. Position

the antenna wire as shown.

•Then connect the hell wire to the opener terminal

screws: white to 2; white/red to 1.

•Remember to affix the User Safety Instruction

label to the wall near the Wall Control, and the

Maintenance Instruction label in a prominent

iocstlon on the Inside of the garage door.

If the label adhesive will not adhere to your garage

wall surface (or becomes loose with time) use tacks

to secure the label alongside the wall control.

Electrical Requirements I

[

To reduce the risk of electric shock, your garage

door opener has a grounding type plug with athird

grounding pin. This plug will onlyfit into a grounding

type outleL

If the plug doesn't fit into the outlet you have,

contact a qualified electrician to instP!lthe proper

outlet,

To avoid Installation difficulties,

do not nm the opener at thls time.

To prevent electrocution or fire, Installation

end wiring must be In compliance with local

electrical and building codes.

Do NOT use an extension cord, 2-wire adapter,

or change the_plug in any way to :Make it fit

your outleL

Right Wrong

If permanent wiring is required by your local code, refer to the following procedure:

To make apermanent connection through the

7/8' diameter hole in the top of the opener

(according to local code):

• Remove the opener cover screws and set the

cover aside.

•Remove the atlached 3-prong cord.

•Connect the black (line) wire to the screw on the

brass terminal; the white (neutral) wire to the

screw on the salverterminal; and the ground wire

to the green ground screw. The opener must be

grounded.

Safety Reversing System

Information you'll need before you begin the Inatallation of the safety reversing sensor.

The safety reversing sensor mustbe connected

and aligned correctly before the garage door

opener will move In the down direction. This Is a

required safety device and cannot be disabled.

InstallaUon procedures are the same for s_tional

and one-piece doors.

Without a properly working safety reversing

sensor, persons (particularly children) could

be Injured or killed by a closing garage door.

Read and follow all Instructions.

To protect small children, Install the safety

reversing sensor so that the beam will be no

higher than 4"-6" above the garage floor.

Disconnect power to the garage door opener

before Installing the safety reversing sensor.

Be sure power to the opener Is disconnected.

The sending eye transmits an invisible light beam to

the receiving eye. The units can be inst;dled on

either side of the garage door as long as the sun

never shinas dirsctiy into the receiving eye lens.

Look at the label on the connector end of each case

to identify the sensors.

The brackets must be connected and fastened so

that the sending and receiving eyes face each other

as shown in Ftgura 1.

If an obstruction breaks the light beam while the

garage door is closing, the door will stop and

reverse to full open position and the opener lights

will flash for 5 seconds.

The brackets'must be securely fastened to a solid

surface such as the studs on either side of the door,

or add a piece of wood at each location if installing in

masonry construction.

The invisible light beam path must be unobstructed.

No part of the garage door (or door tracks, spdngs,

hinges, rollers orother hardware) can interrupt the

beam while the door is closing. If it does, use a piece

of wood to build out each sensor mounting location to

.the minimum depth required for light beam clearance.

•Turn the UP limit adjustment screw counter-

clockwise 5-1/2 turns.

•Press the Wall Control push bar or button. The

trolley will travel to the fully open position.

•Manually raise the door to the open position

(parallel to the floor), and liftthe door arm to the

trolley. The arm should touch the trolley just in

back of the door arm connector hole. Refer to the

fully open trolley/door arm positions in the

illustration. If the arm does not extend far enough,

adjust the limit further. One full turn equals 2" of

trolley travel.

Closed Door Adjustment:

Decrease DOWN limit

•Tum the DOWN limit adjustment screw clockwise 5

complete turns.

•Press the Wall control push bar or button. The

trolley will travel to the fully closed position.

•Manually close the door and liftthe door arm to the

trolJey.The arm should touch the trolley just ahead

of the door arm connector hole. Refer to the fully

closed trolley/door arm positions in the illustration. If

the arm is behind the connector hole, adjust the limit

further. One full tum equals 2" of trolley travel.

Connect the door arm to the trolley.

•Close the door and join the curved arm to the connector hole in the trolley with the remaining clevis pin. It may

be necessary to lift the door slightly to make the connection.

•Secure with a ring fastener.

•Run the opener through a complete travel cycle. It the door has a slight "backward" slant in full open position

as shown in the illustration;'decrease the UP limit untilthe door is parallel to the floor.

Adjustment Section:

Adjustment Step 1

Adjust the UP and DOWN Limits

Do not make any limit adjustments unUI the

safety reversing sensors are completely

Installed.

Umit adjustment settings regulate the points at

which the door will stopwhen moving up or down.

The door will stop in the up direction if anything

interferes with door travel. The door will reverse in

the down direction if anything interferes with the

door travel (including binding or unbalanced doom).

To operate the opener, press the Wall Control push

bar. Run the opener through a complete travel

cycle.

• Does the door open and close completely?

•Does the door stay closed end not reverse

unintentionally when fully closed?

If your door passes both of these tests, no limit

adjustments are necessary unless the reversing test

falls (See page 30).

Adjustment procedures are outlined below. Run

the opener through a complete travel cycle after

each adjustment.

Repeated operation of the opener during

adjustment procedures may cause the motor to

overheat and shut off. Simply walt 15 minutes

and try again.

Read the procedures carefully before proceeding to

Adjustment Step 2. Use a screwdriver to make limit

adjustments.

How and When to Adjust the Limits

If the door does not open completely

but opens at/eaat five feet

Increase up travel. Turn the UP limit adjustment

screw clockwise. One tum equals 2" of travel.

If door does not open at least 5 feet: Adjust the

UP (open) force as explained in Adjustment Step 2.

If the door does not close completely

increase down travel. Tum the DOWN limit

adjustment screw counterclockwise. One turn

equals 2" of travel.

If door still won1 close completely, try lengthening

the door arm. (Page 26.)

If you have adjusted the door arm to the maximum

length and the door still will not close completely,

lower the header bracket. See Installation Step 1,

pages 12/13.

If the opener reverses In fully closed pesitlon

Decrease down travel. Turn the DOWN limit

adjustment screw clockwise. One tum equals 2" of

travel.

ff thq door reverses when closing and

there is no visible Interference to travel cycle

If the opener lights are flashing, the Safety Reversing

Sensor is obstructed. Remove the obstruction.

Test the door for binding: Pull the emergency release

handle. Manually open and close the door. If the door

is binding, call for garage door service. If the door is

not binding or unbalanced, adjust the DOWN (close)

force. See Adjustment Step 2.

Adjustment Step 2

Adjust the Force

Force adjustment controls are located on the beck

panel of the opener. Force adjustment set'rings

regulate the amount of power required to open end

close the door.

The door will stop in the up direction if anything

interferes with its travel. The door will reverse in the

down direction if anything interferes with its travel

(including binding or unbalanced doors).

If the forces are set too light, door travel may be

interrupted by nuisance reversals in the down

direction end stops in the up direction. Weather

conditions can affect the door movement, so

occasional adjustment may be needed.

The maJdmumforce adjustment range is 260 degrees,

about 3/4 of a complete rum. Do not force controls

beyond that point. Tum force adjustment controls

beyond the minimum amount required to close

the doer. Do not use the force adjustments to

compensate for • binding or sticking garage

door. Test the safety reverse system following

all adjustments to force levels. See page 30.

How and When to Adjust the Forces

Test the DOWN (close) force

Grasp the door bottom when the door is about

halfway through DOWN (close) travel. The door

should reverse. Reversal halfway through down

travel does not guarantee reversal on atwo.inch

obstruction. See page 30. If the door is hard to

hold or doesnt reveme, decrease the DOWN (close)

force by turning the control counterclockwise.

Make 10 degree rum adjustments until the door

reverses normally. After each adjustment, run the

opener through a complete cycle.

Test the UP (open) force

Grasp the door bottom when the door is about

halfway through UP (open) travel. The door should

stop. if the door is hard to hold or doesn't stop,

decrease UP (open) force by turning the control

counterclockwise.

Make 10 degree tum adjustments until the door stops

easily. After each adjustment, run the opener through

a complete travel cycle.

If the doer doesn't open at least 5 feet _J

Increase UP (Open) force by turning the control

clockwise. Make 10 degree turn adjustments u_til

door opens completely. Re-adjust the UP limit if

necessary. After each adjustment, run the opener

through a complete travel cycle.

If the doer reverses during the down (close) cycle

and the opener lights aren=t flashing

Increase DOWN (close) force by tuming the control

clockwise. Make 10 degree turn adjustments untilthe

door completes a close cycle. After each adjustment,

run the opener through acomplete travel cycle. Do

not Increase the force beyond the minimum

amount required to close the doer.

Adjustment Step 3

Test The Safety Reversing Sensor

• Press the remote control push button to open the

door.

•Place the opener carton in the path of the door.

•Press the remote control push button to close the

door. The door will not move more than an inch,

and the opener light will flash.

Professional service Is required If the opener

closes the door when the safety reversing

sensor Is obstructed.

The garage door opener will not close from a

remote control If the Indicator light In either

sensor Is off(alerting you to the fact that the

sensor Is mlssligned or obstructed).

The garage door can be closed by pressing and

holding the Wall Control push bar or button until

Situation

The opener doesnl

operate from either

the Wall Control or

the remote control:

Opener operates

from the remote

control, but not from

the Wall Control:

Having a Problem?

Probable Cause and Solution

1. Does the opener have electd.cpower? Plug.a lamp into the outlei, ffit doesn't light,

check the fuse box or the drcuit breaker. (Some outlets are controlled by a wall switch.)

2. Have you disabled all door locks? Review installationinstructionwarnings on Page 11.

3. Is there a build-up of ice or snow under the door? The door may be frozen to the

ground. Remove any restdction.

4. The garage door spdng may be broken. Have it replaced.

5. Repeated operation may have tripped the ovedoed protector in the motor. Wait

15 minutes. Try again.

1. Is the Wall Control lit? If not, remove the bell wire from the opener terminal screws.

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 afaulty wire connection at the Wall

Control, a short under the staples, or a broken wire.

2. Are the widng connections correct? Review Step 6, page 18.

The door operates

from the Wall Control,

but not from the

remote control:

1. If your model has the Look feature, make sure the lock is Off.

2. Is any wall push button flashing? Your opener needs to re*learn a remote control

code. Refer to Instructions on the opener panel.

3. Does the battery test light glow when the remote control push button is pressed? If

not, replace the battery.

4. Program the receiver to match the remote control code.

5. Repeat the receiver programming procedure with all remote controls.

The remote control

has short range: 1. Check the battery test light. If the light is dim, replace the battery.

2. Change the location of the remote control in.your car.

3. Check to be sure the antenna on the side or back panel of opener extends fully

downward.

4. Some installations may have shorter range due to a metal door. foil backed

insulation, or metal garage siding.

Opener noise Is

disturbing in riving

quarters of home:

If operational noise is a problem because of proximity of the opener to the living

quarters, the Vibration Isolator Kit 41A3263 can be installed. This kit was designed to

minimize vibration to the house and is easy to install.

The garage door

opens and closes

by Itself:

1. Be sure that all remote control push buttons and battery indicator lights are off.

2. Remove the bell wire from the Wall Control terminals and operate from the remote

control only. If this solves the problem, the Wall Control is faulty (replace), or there is

an intermittent short on the wire I_etween the Wall Control and the opener.

The door doesn,t

open completely: 1. If the door has been working prop6dy but now doesn't open all the way, increase the

up force. See page 29.

2. Is something obstructing the door? Remove the obstruction or repair the door.

3. If door opens at least 5 feet, the travel limits may need to be increased. One tum

equals 2 inches of travel. See page 28.

Repeat the safety reverse test after the adjustment Is complete.

The door stops but

doesn,t close

completely:

Review the travel limits adjustment procedures on page 28.

Repeat the safety reverse test after any adjustment of door arm length, close

force or down rimlL
