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.

Without a properly working safety reversing sensor,
persons (particularlychildren)couldbe injured or killed
by a closing garage door. Read and follow all
instructions,

Installation procedures are the same Jbr sectional and
one-piece dool_=

To protect small children, install the safety reversing
sensor so that the beam will be no higher than 4"-6"
abovethegaragefloor.

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 lnUSt be connected and thstened so that the
sending and receiving eyes t:ace each other as shown.

Disconnect power to the garage door opener before
installingthesafety reversingsensor.

The invisible light beam path lnnst be unobstrncted. No
part of the garage door (or door tracks, springs, hinges,
rollers or other hardware) can intemtpt the beam while
the door is closing. If it does, use a piece of wood to bnild
out each sensor mounting location to the minimum depth
required for light beam clearance.

If an obstruction breaks the light beam while the garage
door is closing, the door will stop and reverse to fidl open
position and the opener lights will flash for 5 secon&.
The brackets must be securely _hstened to a solid surthce

Install the Premium Control
and Connect all Wiring

Console
Do not connect to live electrical wiring. Connect only to 24 Volt
low voltage wires. Connection to live wires or higher v oltage
may cause serious injury from shock, burn or electrocution.

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 mo,ing parts of the door and
door hardware.

Children operating or playing with a garage door opener can
injure themselves or others. The garage door cou/d c/ose and
cause serious injury or death.
Install the door control (or any additional push buttons) out of
the reach of children and away from all moving parts of the
door and door hardware, but where the garage door is visible.
Do not allow children to operate the push b utton(s) or the
remote control(s).

The door control is typically attached directly to the wall.
If installing imo dxywall, drill 5/32" holes and use the
anchors wovided. For plv-wired installations' (as' in new
home consm¢ction), Console models' may be mounted to a
standard single gang box (Figure 2).

A moving garage door could injure someone under it. Activate
the opener only when the door is properly adjusted, you can
see it clearly, and there are no obstructions to door travel.

1. Strip 1/4" of insulation from one end of the bell wire
mad comaect it to the two screw terlninals on the back of
the door control by color: white to 2 and white/red to 1.

Do NOT eonneet the power and operate
this time. See Step 9 on page 22.

2. Pry off cover along one side with a screwdriver blade
(see Figurel). Fasten with 6ABxl-1/4" self-tapping

Requirements
To preventelectrocutionor fire, installationand wiring
mustbe in compliancewith localelectricaland building
codes,

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.

Do NOT usean extensioncord,2-wireadapter,or change
the plugin any wayto makeit fit youroutlet,

If the plug doesn't fit into the outlet you have, contact a
qualified electrician to install the proper outlet.

To avoid installation difficulties,
do not run the opener until Step 9 below.

1. If the sending eye indicator light does not glow
steadily after installation, check for:

Sensor

• Electric power to the opener.
• A short in the white or white/black wires. These can
occur under staples or at screw terminal connections.

Aligning the Safety Sensors

• Incorrect wiring between sensors and opener.

• Plug in the opener. Green indicator lights in both the
sending and receiving eyes will glow steadily if wiring
connections and alignment are correct.

• An open wire (wire break).
2. If the sending eye indicator light glows steadily but the
receiving eye indicator light doesn't:

The sending eye indicator light will glow regardless of
alignment or obstruction. If the indicator light is of£ dim,
or flickering in the lvceiving c3,e (and the invisible light
beam path is not obstructed), alignment is required.

• Check alignment.
• Check for an open wire to the receiving eye.
3. If the receiving eye indicator light is dim, realign
either sensor.

• Loosen the sending eye wing nut and readjust, aiming
directly at the receiving eye. Lock in place.

NOTE: When the itwisible beam path is' obstructed or
re#aligned while the door is' closing, the door will

If the opener reverses in full)" closed position:
Decrease down travel. Turn the DOWN limit adjustlnent
screw clockwise. One turn equals 2" of travel.

Increase up travel. Turn the UP limit adjustlnent screw
clockwise. One turn equals 2" of travel.

If the door reverses when closing and there is no
visible interference to travel cycle:

If door does not open at least 5 feet:
Adjust the UP (open) force as explained in Adjustment
Step 2.

If the opener lights are flashing, the Safety Reversing
Sensors are either not installed, lnisaligned, or obstructed.
See Troubleshooting, page 22.

If the door does not close completely:

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 selwice. If the door is not
binding or unbalanced, adjust the DOWN (close) force.
See Adjustment Step 2.

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 (see page 26).
If you have adjusted the door arm to the lnaximum length
and the door still will not close completely, lower the
header bracket. See Installation Step 1, pages 12 and 13.

How and When to Adjust the Forces
Test the DOWN (close) force

If the door doesn't open at least 5 feet:

Grasp the door bottom when the door is abom halfway
through DOWN (close) travel. The door should reverse.
Reversal halj_,ay 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.

Increase UP (Open) force by turning the control
clockwise. Make small adjustlnents until door opens
COlnpletely. Readjust the UP limit if necessary. After each
adjustlnent, run the opener through a complete travel
cycle.
If the door reverses during the down (close) cycle and
the opener lights aren't flashing:

Make small adjustlnents until the door reverses normally.
After each adjustment, run the opener tl_ough a complete
cycle.

Increase DOWN (close) force by turning the control
clockwise. Make small adjustments until the door
COlnpletes a close cycle. After each adjustlnent, run the
opener tluough a complete travel cycle. Do not increase
the force beyond the minimum amount required to
close the door.

Test the UP (open) force
Grasp the door bottom when the door is abom 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 adjustlnents until the door stops easily. After
each adjustment, run the opener tluough a complete travel
cycle.

Troubleshooting
Situation

Probable

Cause & Solution

The opener doesn't
operate from either
the door control or
the remote 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 breal(er. (Solne 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 t_ozen 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.

Opener operates from
the remote control but
not from the door
control:

1. Is the door control push bar lit? If not, Relnove the bell wire froln the opener terminal
screws. Short the red and white terlninals by touching both terminals at the same time with
a piece of wire. If the opener rtms, check for a faulty wire connection at the door control, a
short under the staples, or a broken wire.
2. Are the wiring connections

3. Does the battery test light glow when the remote control push button is pressed? If not,
replace the battery.
4. Prograln the receiver m lnatch the remote control code.
5. Repeat the receiver progralraning 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 relnote 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. (Antenna Extender Kit 41A3504)

Opener noise is
disturbing in living

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.
1. Be sure that all relnote control push buttons and battery indicator lights are off.
2. Relnove the bell wire from the door control terminals and operate from the remote control
only. If this solves the problem, the door control is t:aulty (replace), or there is an
