Installation Step 6 I

Install the Door Control

.ocate the door control within sight of the door

at s 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.

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

wire and connect it to the two terminal screws on

the back of the door control: white to 2, and

white/red to 1.

2. Fasten the Door Control Button securely with

6ABxl-1/2" screws.

3. 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.

4. Connect the bell wire to the terminal screws on

the opener panel: white to 2; white/red to !.

5. Position the antenna wire as shown.

6. Attach the User Safety Instruction label to the

wall near the door control, and the Maintenance

;nstruction label in a prominent location on the

inside of the garage door.

Page 32 explains how to use the door control.

Do not connect to live electWcal wiring. Connect

only to 24 Volt low voltage wires. Connection to

live wires or higher voltage may cause serious

injury from shock, burn or electrocution.

Children operating or playing with a garage

door opener can injure themselves or others.

The garage door could close 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

button(e) or the remote control(s).

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.

Do NOT connect the power and operate the

opener at this time. The trolley will travel to the

full open position but will not return to the

close position until the sensor beam Is

connected and properly aligned.

Attach the Emergency

Release Rope and Handle

•Thread one end of the rope through the hole in

the top of the red handle so "NOTICE" reads right

side up as shown. Secure with an overhand knot.

The knot should be st least 1" from the end of

the rope to prevent slipping.

•Thread the other end of the rol_ through the hole

in the release arm of the outer trolley.

•Adjust rope length so the handle is 6 feat above

the floor. Secure with an overhand knot.

If it Is necessary to cut the rope, heat seal the

cut end with a match or lighter to prevent

unraveling.

.Do not use the red handle to pull the door

open or closed. The rope knot could become

untied and you could fall. Use the emergency

release only to disengage the trolley and, if

possible, only when the door Is closed.

Garage doors are heavy. If the door is open

when the handle is pulled, the door could

close inadvertently If It Is not properly

balanced. Serious injury may result to persons

under the door. Make sure the doorway is clear

of persons and obstructions before pulling

handle when door Is open.

Installation Step 9

Electrical Requirements i

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 dcesnl fit into the outlet you have, contact

a qualified electrician to installthe proper outleL

To avoid Installation difficulties,

do not run the opener at this time.

To prevent electrocution or fire, Installation

and 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 outlet.

Right Wrong

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

To make a permanent 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 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 muat be

The Safety Reverslng System

Information you'll need before you begin the Installation of the safety reverslng 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 for saclional

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 he connected and fastened so

that the sending and receiving eyes face each other

as shown in Figure 1.

If an obstruction breaks the light beam while the

garage door is closing, the door will stop and

reverse to full open positionand the opener lights

will flash for 5 seconds.

The brackets mustbe securely fastened to a solid

surface such as the studson either side of the door,

or add apiece 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, 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.

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 up direction if anything

interferes with door travel. The door will rever._e in

the down direction if anything interferes with thd

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 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 wait 15 minutes

and try again.

Read the procedures carefully before proceeding to

Adjustment Step 2. Use a screwdriver to make limit

adjustments.

Improper adjustment of the travel limits witl

interfere with the proper operation of the

safety reverse system. The door might not

reverse properly when required and could

seriously injure or kill someone under it. Test

the safety reverse system following all

adjustments to the travel limits. See page 30.

How and When to Adjust the Limits

•ff 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.

NOTE: To prevent the trolley from hitting the

cover protection bolt, keep aminimum distance

of 2-4" between the trolley and the bolt.

•if door does not open at least 5 feet:

Adjust the UP (open) force as zxplained 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 tra\el.

If the door still won't close completely and the trolley

bumps into the pulley bracket (see p.yu 4 or 5), try

i lengthening the door arm(see 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 adjust-

ment 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 lightsare flashing, the Safety Reversing

Sensors are either not installed, miseligned, or

obstructed. See Troubleshooting, page 23.

Test the door for binding: Putt the emergency retease

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 I

Adjust the Force I

Force adjustment controls are located on the dght

side 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 up direction if anything

interferes with its travel. The door will reverse inthe

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 up direction. Weather

conditions can affect the door movement, so

occasional adjustment may be needed.

The maximum force adjustment range is 260 degrees,

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

beyond that poinL Tum force adjustment controls

with a screwdriver.

AdjustmentI.ab_

Too much force on the €loor will Interfere with

the proper operation of the safety reverse

system. The door might not reverse properly

when required and could seriously Injure or

kill someone under it. Do not Increase the

force beyond the minimum amount required

to close the door. Do not use the force

adjustments to compensate for a binding or

sticking garage door. Test the safety reverse

system following all adjustments to force

levels. See page 30.

ForceAdjustment

Right Side Pane4

How and When to Adjust the Forces

Test the DOWN (close) rome

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 two-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 10 degree turn 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

countemlockwise.

Make 10 degree turn adjustments untilthe door stops

easily. After each adjustment, mn the opener through

acomplete travel cycle.

If the door doesn't open at least 5 feet

Increase UP (Open) force by tuming the control

clockwise. Make 10 degree turn adjustments until

dqor opens completely. Re-adjust 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 arenl fleehlng

Increase DOWN (close) force by tuming the control

clockwise. Make 10 degree turn adjustments until the

door completes a close cycle. After each adjustment,

run the opener through a complete _:ravelcycle. Do

not Increase the force beyond thtt 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 lights will flash.

_rofessional 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 mlsallgned or obstructed).

The garage door can be closed by pressing and

holding the Door Control push button until down

travel is completed.

IWithout a properly working safety reversing

sensor, persons (particularly children) could be

seriously injured or killed ff trapped by a closing

garage door. Repeat this test once a month.

_iSe_o r

Adjustment Step 4

Test the Safety Reverse System

Test:

• Place a one-inch board (or a 2x4 laid flat) on the

floor, centered under the garage door.

•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 position. See the •

illustration on page 26.

•When the door reverses on the one-inch board,

remove the obstruction and run the opener through

3 or 4 complete travel cycles to test adjustment.

If the door will not reverse after repeated

adjustment attempts, call for professional

garage door service.

Important safety check

Repeat Adjustment Steps 1, 2 and 4 after:

•Each adjustment of door arm length, force controls

or limit controls.

•,A.nyrepair to or adjustment of the garage door

When the opener is activated with the safety

reversing sensor installed and correctly aligned:

1. If open, the door will close. If closed, it 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.

If the sensor is not installed, or is not aligned

correctly, the door won't close from any remote

transmitter. You can close the door with the Door

Control, the Outdoor Key Switch, or Keyless Entry,

however, if you activate them until down travel is

complete. If you release them too soon, the door will

reverse.

The opener lights will blink for 5 seconds when the

safety reversing sensor causes the door to reverse.

Opener Lights will turn on under the following

conditions: When the opener is initially plugged in;

when the power is interrupted; when the opener is

activated. They will turn off automatically after 4-1/2

minutes or provide constant light when the Light

feature is activated. Bulb size is 75 watts maximum.

Weak or broken springs could allow an open

door to fall (either rapidly or unexpectedly),

resulting in serious injury, death or property

damage. If possible, use the emergency

release rope end handle only when the door Is

fully closed.

Situation

Having a Problem?

Probable Cause and Solution

The opener doesnl

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? Rug a lamp into the outleL If itdoesn't light,

check the fuse box or the circuitbreaker. (Some outlets are controlledby a doorswitch.)

2. Have you disabled all door locks? Review installation instructionwamings 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 ovedoad protector in the motor. Wait

15 minutes. Try again.

1. Is the Door 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 ohener runs, check for afaulty wire connection at the Door

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

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

The door oporstee

from the Door

Contro/, but not from

the remote control:

1. If your model has the Lock feature, make sure the look is Off.

2. Is any door push button flashing? Your opener needs to re-leam a remote control

code. Refer to Instrucbons on the opener panel.

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

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

The remote control

has short range:

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

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

downward.

3. Some installations may have shorter range due to a metal door, foil becked

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 4tA3263 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 are off.

2. 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.

3. Clear memory and reprogram all remote controls.

The door dnean I

open completely:

1. If the door has'been working properly 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 turn

equals 2 inches of travel. Sea page 28.

Repeat the selety reverse test after the adjustment Is complete.

The door stops but

doeen l close

completely:

Review the travel limits adjustment procedures on page 28.

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

force or down limit.
