The Safety Reversing Sensor
Information you'll need before you begin the installation of the safety reversing sensor
The safety reversing sensor must be 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.
Installation procedures are the same Jbr sectional and
one-piece doors.
Be sure power to the opener is disconnected.
The sending eye transmits an invisible light beam to the
receiving eye. The units can be installed on either side of
the garage door as long as the sun never shines directly
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.
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.
Without aproper/y working safety reversing sensor,
persons(particu/ar/ychildren)cou/dbe injuredor ki//ed
by ac/osing garage door. Read and follow all
instructions.
To protect small children, install the safety reversing
sensor so that the beamwill be no higher than 4"-6"
abovethegaragefloor.
Disconnect power to the garage door opener before
installingthe safetyreversingsensor.
The invisible light beam path must be unobstructed. No
part of the garage door (or door tracks, springs, hinges,
rollers or other 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.

Installation Step 4
Install the Safety Reversing Sensor
(Receiving and Sending Eyes)
Figures 1 and 2 show assembly of brackets and "C" wrap
based on the recommended installation of the sensors on
each side of the garage door as shown on page 16.
However, Figures 3 and 4 are variations which may fit
your installation requirements better. Make sure the
wraps and brackets are aligned so the sensors will face
each other across the garage door.
1. Fasten the "C" wraps to the mounting brackets having
square holes, using the hardware shown in Figure 3.
2. Connect each assembly to a slotted bracket, using the
hardware shown in Figure 2.
Note the alignment of the brackets for left and right
sides of the door.
3. Finger tighten the lock nuts.
4. Use bracket mounting holes as a template to locate and
drill (2) 3/16" diameter pilot holes on both sides of the
garage door, 4"-6" above the floor but not exceeding
6". (See warning on page 16.)
5. Attach bracket assemblies with 1/4"x1-1/2" lag screws
as shown in Figure 2.
6. Adjust right and left side bracket assemblies to the
same distance out from the mounting surface. Make
sure all door hardware obstructions are cleared.
Tighten the nuts securely.

2. Cross and twist the two wires where they meet the rail
(see inset A). Run the wires inside the channels at the
top of the rail, along each side, to the power unit and
pull taut (see inset B). Do not use the lower (trolley)
channels.
NOTE: If your access door is near the garage door,
you may choose to install the door control at this time
and run the door control wire along the rail with the
sensor wires. Use one rail channel for the door control
wire and the other channel for both sensor wires. If
you choose this option, follow instructions 1-3
on page 21 now.
3. Thread the wires through the tabs on top of the drive
shaft cover.

Installation Step 7
Install the Door Control and
Connect all Wiring
Locate the door 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.
The door control is typically attached directly to the wall.
If installing into drywall, drill 5/32" holes and use the
anchors provided. For pre-wired installations (as in new
home construction), Console models" may be mounted to a
standard single gang boa"(Figure 2).
1. Strip 1/4" of insulation from one end of the bell wire
and connect it to the two screw terminals on the back of
the door control by color: white to 2 and white/red to 1.
2. Pry off cover along one side with a screwdriver blade
(see Figurel). Fasten with 6ABxl-1/4" self-tapping
screws (standard installation) or 6-32x1" machine
screws _re-wired installation) as follows:
• Install bottom screw, allowing 1//8" to protrude above
wall surface.
• Position bottom of door control on screw head and
slide down to secure. Adjust screw for snug fit.
• Drill and install top screw with care to avoid cracking
plastic housing. Do not overtighten.
• Insert top tabs and snap on cover.
3. (For standard installation only) Run the bell wire up the
wall 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, creating a short. If
your access door is near the garage dooz you may run
this wire with the SaJoty Reversing Sensor wires along
the top of the rail. Seepage 18.
4. Remove the Control Center door on the right panel of
the opener to access the terminal screws.
5. Thread all wires through the opening at the base of the
drive shaft cover (see Figure 3).
6. Insert the remaining wire through the hole in the power
unit and strip 1/4" of insulation from each set of wires.
7. Connect the door control wire to the opener terminal
screws: white to 2 and white/red to 1. (See Figure 4.)
8. Separate the sensor white and white/black wires
sufficiently to connect to the opener terminal screws:
white to 2 and white/black to 3.
9. Attach the User Safety Instruction label to the wall near
the door control, and the Maintenance Instruction label
in a prominent location on the inside of the garage door.
Page 32 explains how to operate the opener using the
door control.

Installation Step 8
Electrical Requirements
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 the outlet you have, contact a
qualified electrician to install the proper outlet.
To awdd installation th'fficulties,
do not run the opener until Step 9below.
If permanent wiring is required by your local code,
refer to the following procedure:
I
To preventelectrocutionor fire, installationand wiring
must be in compliancewith localelectricaland building
codes.
DoNOTusean extensioncord,2-wireadapter,or change
the pluginany wayto makeit fit youroutlet.
To prevent electrocution, remove power from the
garagedoor opener and from the circuityou plan to
usefor the permanentconnection. Permanent Wiring
Connection
To make a permanent connection through the 7/8" diam.
hole in the top of the opener (according to local code):
• Remove the opener cover screws and set the cover aside.
• Remove the attached 3-prong cord.
• 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.
• Reinstall the cover.

Complete Safety Reversing Sensor
Installation
•Plug in the opener. If your door control has a Lock
feature, be sure it is off. Green indicator lights in both
the sending and receiving eyes will glow swadily if
wiring connections and alignment are correct. If the
indicator light is offin the receiving eye (and the
invisible light beam path is not obstructed), alignment is
required.
• Loosen the receiving eye wing nut to allow slight
rotation of unit. Adjust sensor vertically and/or
horizontally until the green indicator light glows with a
steady light.
• When indicator lights are glowing steadily in both units,
tighten the wing nut in the receiving eye unit.
Troubleshooting
1. If the semling eye indicator light does not glow
steadily after installation, check for:
• Electric power to the opener.
• A short in the white or white/black wires. These can
occur under staples or at screw terminal connections.
• Incorrect wiring between sensors and opener.
• An open wire (wire break).
2. If the sending eye indicator light glows steadily but
the receiving eye indicator light doesn't:
• Check alignment.
• Check for an open wire to the receiving eye.

Installation Step 10
Install the Lights and Lens
• Install a 100 watt maximum light bulb in each socket.
The lights will turn ON and remain lit for
approximately 4-1/2 minutes when power is connected.
Then the lights will turn OFF.
• Insert bottom lens tabs into slots on chassis and tilt
towards chassis to engage top tabs, then drop down
gently into place. (See illustration.)
• To remove, lift lens up and gently tilt slightly outward
and down, then pull out to clear bulbs. Use care to
avoid snapping off bottom lens tabs.
• If the bulbs burn out prematurely, replace with standard
neck Garage Door Opener bulbs. (Fluorescent bulbs are
not recommended because of possible interference with
receiver/transmitter signals.)

Installation Step 12
Fasten Door Bracket
Follow instructions which apply to your door type
as illustrated below or on page 25.
To prevent damage to steel, alumin urn, fiberglass or
glasspaneldoors,alwaysreinforcethe insideof thedoor
bothverticallyand horizontallywithan angleiron.
A horizontal brace should be long enough to be secured to 2 vertical supports. A vertical brace should cover the
height of the top panel.
The illustration shows one piece of angle iron as the horizontal brace. For the vertical brace, 2 pieces of angle iron
are used to create a U-shaped support. The best solution is to check with your garage door manufacturer for an
opener installation door reinforcement kit.

Decrease DOWN Travel Limit
Turn the DOWN limit adjustment screw clockwise
5 complete turns.
Press the Door Control push button. The trolley will
travel to the fully closed position.
Manually close the door and lift the door arm to the
trolley. 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 turn 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. If the door has a slight "backward" slant in full open position as shown
in the illustration, decrease the UP limit until the door is parallel to the floor.
27

ADJUSTMENT SECTION: PAGES 28- 30
Adjustment Step 1
Adjust the UP and DOWN Limits
Do not make any limit adjustments until the safety
reversing sensors are completely installed.
Limit adjustment settings regulate the points at which the
door will stop when moving up or down.
The door will stop in the zip 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 doors).
To operate the opener, press the Door Control push
button. Run the opener through a complete travel cycle.
• Does the door open and close completely'?
• Does the door stay closed and not reverse
unintentionally when fully closed'?
If your door passes both of these tests, no limit
adjustments are necessary unless the reversing test fails
(see page 30).

adjustment.
Repeated operation of the opener during adjustment
procedures may cause the motor to overheat and shut
off. Simply wait 15 minutes and try again.
Read the procedures carefully before proceeding to
Adjustment Step 2. Use a screwdriver to make limit
adjustments.
LIMIT ADJUSTMENT
LABEL
i Adjust UP Travel
_@ Adjust DOWN Travel
How and When to Adjust the Limits
If the door does not open completely but opens at least
five feet:
Increase up travel. Turn the UP limit adjustment screw
clockwise. One turn 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. Turn the DOWN limit adjustment
screw counterclockwise. One turn equals 2" of travel.
If door still won't 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 and 13.
If the opener reverses in fully closed position:
Decrease down travel. Turn the DOWN limit adjustment
screw clockwise. One turn equals 2" of travel.
If the 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.
28

Adjustment Step 2
Adjust the Force
Force adjustment controls are located on the right panel
of the opener. Force adjustment settings regulate the
amount of power required to open and close the door.
The door will stop in the zip 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
and stops in the zip direction. Weather conditions can
affect the door movement, so occasional adjustment may
be needed.
The maximum force adjustment range is about 3/4 of a
complete turn. Do not force controls beyond that point.
Turn force adjustment controls with a screwdriver.

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 a one-inch obstruction. See
page 30. If the door is hard to hold or doesn't reverse,
decrease the DOWN (close) force by turning the control
counterclockwise.
Make small 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 small adjustments until the door stops easily. After
each adjustment, run the opener through a complete travel
cycle.
If the door doesn't open at least 5 feet:
Increase UP (Open) force by turning the control
clockwise. Make small adjustments until door opens
completely. Readjust the UP limit if necessary. After each
adjustment, run the opener through a complete travel
cycle.
If the door reverses during the down (close) cycle and
the opener lights aren't flashing:
Increase DOWN (close) force by turning the control
clockwise. Make small adjustments until the door
completes a close cycle. After each adjustment, run the
opener through a complete travel cycle. Do not increase
the force beyond the minimum amount required to
close the door.

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 Jbr 5 seconds
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 if
the indicator light in either sensor is off(alerting you
to the fact that the sensor is misaligned or obstructed).
The garage door can be closed by pressing and holding the
Door Control push button until down travel is completed.

• Operate the door in the down direction. The door must
reverse on striking the obstruction.
Adjustment
If the door stops on the obstruction, it is not traveling far
enough in the down direction.
• Increase the DOWN limit by turning the DOWN limit
adjustment screw counterclockwise 1/4 turn.
• Repeat the test.
On a sectional door, make sure limit adjustments do
not force the door arm beyond a straight up and down

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
To reduce the risk of severe injury or death to persons:
1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
2. Do not permit children either to operate or to play with the opener. Keep remote control in a location
inaccessible to children.
3. Operate opener only when the door is in full view and free from any obstruction. Keep the door in sight until
it is completely closed. NO ONE SHOULD CROSS THE PATH OF THE MOVING DOOR.
4. Check safety reversal system monthly. See page 30. The garage door MUST reverse on contact with a one
inch object (or a 2x4 board laid flat) placed on the floor. If an adjustment is made to one of the controls
(either force or limits of travel), the other control may need to be adjusted also, and the safety reversal system
must be checked. Failure to properly adjust the opener may result in severe injuly or death.
5. If possible, use the emergency release only when the door is in a closed position. Caution should be taken
whenever the disconnect cord is actuated with the door open. Weak or broken springs may cause the door to
fall rapidly, causing injury or death to persons.
6. KEEP GARAGE DOORS PROPERLY BALANCED. See page 3. An improperly balanced door may not
reverse when required, and couhl result in severe injuly or death. Repairs to cables, spring assemblies and
other hardware must be made by a professional garage door person.
7. Disconnect the electric power to the garage door opener before making any repairs or removing the covers.

sensor installed and correctly aligned:
1. If open, the door will close. If closed, the door will
open.
2. If closing, the door will reverse.
3. If opening, the door will stop (allowing space for entry
and exit of pets and for fresh air).
4. If the door has been stopped in a partially open
position, it will close.
5. If obstructed while closing, the door will reverse.
6. If obstructed while opening, the door will stop.
7. The garage door will reverse in the closing cycle when
the invisible beam is broken. If fully open, the door
will not close when the beam is broken. The sensor
has no effect in the opening cycle.

Receiver & Remote Control Programming
NOTICE: To comply with FCC rules, adjustment or modification of this
receiver and/or transmitter are prohibited, except for changing the code
setting or replacing the transmitter battery. THERE ARE NO OTHER
USER SERVICEABLE PARTS.
Your garage door opener has been factory set to operate
with the large push button on the remote control.
However, you can use either of the two small buttons, if
you prefer. And, the 3-function remote can also activate
additional garage door openers and/or light acontrols.
Your "SRT" garage door opener will operate with:
• up to four "SRT" remote control transmitters (with
green indicator lights),
• a Keyless Entry System, and
• code switch remote controls with red indicator lights.
Below are instructions for programming your opener to
match the other buttons on your remote control and any
additional remotes you may purchase. See available
accessories on page 38.
To add a remote control:
1. Press and hold the selected remote push button, see
Figure 1.
2. Then press and release the "SRT" button on the right
side panel of the opener, Figure 2. The opener lights
will flash once.
3. Release the remote push button.
Now the opener will operate when the remote control
push button is pressed.
If yon release the remote control push button before
the opener lights flash, the opener will not accept the
code.
To change the selected push button on the same
remote:
If you decide to use a different remote control button than
originally programmed into the opener, you need to erase
all the learned codes and reprogram each remote used to
operate the garage door opener.
To erase all remote control codes:
• Press and hold the "SRT" button on the opener panel
until the indicator light turns off (about 6 seconds).
All the codes the opener has learned will be erased.
• To reprogram, repeat Steps 1 -3 for each remote
control in use.
Code programming instructions are also located on
the opener panel.

Situation
Troubleshooting
Probable Cause & Solution
The opener doesn't
operate from either
the door control or
the remote control:
Opener operates from
the remote control, but
not from the door
control:
1. Does the opener have electric power'? Plug a lamp into the outlet. If it doesn't light, check the
fuse box or the circuit breaker. (Some outlets are controlled by a wall switch.)
2. Have you disabled all door locks'? Review installation instruction warnings 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 restriction.
4. The garage door spring may be broken. Have it replaced.
5. Repeated operation may have tripped the overload protector in the motor. Wait
15 minutes. Try again.
1. Is the door control push bar 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 a faulty wire connection at the door control, a
short under the staples, or a broken wire.
2. Are the wiring connections correct'? Review Installation Step 7, page 21.
The door operates from
the door control, but not
from the remote
control:
1. If your model has the Lock feature, turn it off.
2. Is the door 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 right side panel of opener extends fully.
4. Some installations may have shorter range due to a metal door, foil backed insulation, or
metal garage siding.
Opener noise is
disturbing in living
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."
.
2.
Be sure that all remote control push buttons and battery indicator lights are off.
Remove the bell wire from the door control terminals and operate from the remote control
only. If this solves the problem, the door control is faulty (replace), or there is an
intermittent short on the wire between the door control and the opener.
The door doesn't open
completely:
1. If the door has been working properly but now doesn't open all the way, increase the zip
Jorce. 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 turn 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 fi_rce or down
limit.

Situation
Troubleshooting (continued)
Probable Cause & Solution
The door opens but
won't close: 1. If the opener lights blink, check the safety reversing sensor. See page 22.
2. If the opener lights do not blink and it is a new installation, check the down force. See
Adjustment Step 2, page 29. For an existing installation, see below.
Repeat the safety reverse test after the adjustment is complete.
The door reverses fi_r no
apparent reason and
opener lights don't
blink:
1. Is something obstructing the door'? Pull the emergency release handle. Operate the door
manually. If it is unbalanced or binding, call for professional garage door service.
2. Clear any ice or snow from the garage floor area where the door closes.
3. Review the force adjustment procedures on page 29.
4. If door reverses in theJidly closed position, decrease the travel limits (page 28).
Repeat the safety reverse test after adjustments to fi_rce or travel limits. The need fi_r
occasional adjustment of the fi_rce and lim# settings is normal. Weather comh'tions in
particular can affect door travel.

The opener strains or
maximum force is
needed to operate door:
The door may be out of balance or the springs are broken. Close the door and use the
emergency release handle to disconnect the trolley. Open and close the door manually. A
properly balanced door will stay in any point of travel while being supported entirely by its
springs. If it does not, disconnect the opener and call for professional garage door service.
Do not increase the fi_rce to operate the opene_
The opener motor
hums briefly, then
won't work:
1. The garage door springs are broken. See above.
2. If the problem occurs on the first operation of the opener, door may be locked. Disable the
door lock.
