The Safety Reversing Sensor

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT 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.

When properly connected and aligned, the safety .

reversing sensor will detect an obstacle in the path of its

electronic beam. The sending eye (with an orange

indicator light) transmits an invisible light beam to the,

receiving eye (with a green indicator light). If an

obstruction breaks the light beam while the door is

closing, the door will stop and reverse to full open

position, and the opener light will flash 10 times.

The units must be installed inside the garage so that the

sending and receiving eyes face each other across the

door, between 4-6" above the floor. Either can be

installed on the left or right of the door as long as the sun

never shines directly into the receiving eye lens.

The mounting brackets am designed to clip onto the

garage door track without additional hardware.

Withouts properlyworkingsafetyreversing sensor,

persons (particularlychildren)couldbe injuredor killed

by a closing garage door. Read and follow all

Instructions.

To protectsmallchildren,installthe safety reversing

sensorso that the beamwill be no higherthan 4"-6"

abovethegaragefloor.

Disconnectpowerto the garagedoor openerbefore

installingthesafetyreversingsensor.

If it is necessary to mount the units on the wall, the

brackets must be securely fastened to a solid surface such

as the wall framing. Extension brackets(see Accessories)

are available if needed. If installing in masonry

construction, add a piece of wood at each location to

avoid drilling extra holes in masonry if repositioning is

necessary.

The invisible light beam path mustbe unobstructed. No

part of the garage door (ordoor tracks, springs, hinges,

rollers or other hardware)may interruptthe beam while

the door is closing.

IInstallation Step 4 i

Install the Safety Reversing Sensor

Be sure power to the opener is disconnected.

Ir_tall and align the brackets so the sensors will face

each other across the garage door, with the beam from

4-6" above thefloor.

They may be installed in one of three ways, depending

on your requirements (see illustration and follow

instructions below):

I. (Preferred) Clipped onto the left and fight garag_ door

tracks. See Figure 1.

2, Fastened to the wall on each side of the garage. ,

See Figure 2.

3. Fastened to the floor (see Figure 3). Concrete anchors

and wood blocks or extension bracketswill be needed.

Garage door track installation:

• Slip the curved arms over the rounded edge of the door

track.Snap into place against the side of the track.It

should lie flush, with the lip hugging the hack edge of

the track,as shown.

If your door track will not supportthe bracket securely,

wail installation is recommended.

Wallinstallation:

•Place the bracket against the wall and make sure there

is enough clearance for the sensor beam to be

unobstructed.

•If additional depth is needed, an extension bracket (see

Accessories) or wood blocks can be used.

• Use bracket mounting holes as a template to locate and

drill (2) 3/16' diameter pilot holes on the wall at each

side of the door, from 4-6" above the floor. (See

warning at beginning of Installation Step 10.)

• Attach brackets to wall with lag screws (not provided).

• If using extension brackets or wood blocks, adjustfight

and left assemblies to the same distance out from the

mounting surface. Make sure all door hardware

obstructions are cleared.

Floor installation:

• Use wood blocks or extension brackets(see

Accessories) to elevate sensor brackets so the lenses

will he 4-6" above the floor.

•Carefully measure and place fight and left assemblies at

the same distance out from the wall. Be sure all door

hardware obstructions are cleared.

•Fasten to the floor with concrete anchors as shown.

Mounting and Wiring the Safety Sensors

• Slide a1/4"-20xl/2" carriage bolt head into the slot on

both sensors. Use wing nuts to fasten sensors to

brackets, with lenses pointing toward each other across

the door. Be sure the lens is not obstructed by a bracket

extension. See Figure 4.

• Finger tighten the wing nuts.

Recommended Wire Routing

1. Using insulated staples, run the wires fromboth ,

sensors to the rail at the door header (see Figure 5).

2. Cross and twist the two wires where they meet the t_il

(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 we 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 rall 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.

4. With your screwdriver tip, tuck the wires snugly into

the rail channels. You will complete the wiring in

and connect it to the two screwterminals on the back of

the door control by color:,white to 2 and white/red to'l.

2. Pry off cover along one side with a screwckiverblade.

(see Figurel). Fasten with 6ABxI-1/4" self-tapping

screws (standardinstallation) or 6-32xl" machine

screws (pre-wiredinstallation) as follows:

• Install bottom screw, allowing 1118"to protrudeabove

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.

•Inserttop tabs and snapon cover.

3. (For standard installation only) Run the bell wire up the

wall and across the ceiling to theopener.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 door, you may ran

this wire with the Sa)_etyReversing Sensor wires along

the top of the rail. See page 18.

4. Remove the Control Center door on the rightpanel of

the opener to access the terminal screws.

5. Thread all wires throughthe opening at the base of the

drive shaft cover (see Figure 3).

Electrical Requirements

To reduce the risk of electric shock, yourgarage door

opener has a grounding type plug with a thirdgrounding

item.Thisplug willonly fit into a grounding type outh.q.

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

qualified electrician to install the proper outlet.

ITo avoid installation difficulties, [

do not run the opener until Step 9 below.

I •

If permanent wiring is required by your local code,.

refer to the following procedure:

To make apermanent 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

Aligning the Safety Sensors

• Plug in the opener, The indicator lights in both the

sending and receiving eyes will glow steadily if wiring

connections and alignment are correct.

The sending eye orange indicator light will glow

regardless of alignment or obstruction. If the green

indicator light in the receiving eye is off, dim, or

flickering (and the invisible light beam path is not

obstructed), alignment is required.

• Loosen the sending eye wing nut and readjust, aiming

directly at the receiving eye. Lock in place.

• Loosen the receiving eye wing nut and adjust the sensor

vertically and/or horizontally until it receives the

sender's beam. When the green indicator light glows

steadily, tighten the wing nut. 22

Trouble Shooting

1. If the sending eye indicator light does notglow

steadily after installation, check for:

• Electric power to the opener.

•A shortin the white or white/black wires. These can

occur at staples, or at screw terminalconnections.

•Incorrectwiring between sensors and opener.

•A broken wire.

2. If the sending eye indicator light glows steadily but the

receiving eye indicatorlight doesn't:

•Check alignment.

•Check for an open wire to the receiving eye.

3. If the receiving eye indicatorlight is dim, realign

either sensor.

NOTE: Whenthe invisible beam path is obstructed or

misaligned while the door is closing, the door will

reverse, lfthe door is already open, it will not close. The

opener lights will flash I0 times. (If bulbs are not

installed, I0 dicks can be heard.) See page 16.

I Installation Step 10

Instafl the Lights and Lens

•Install a 100 watt maximum lightbulb in each socket.

The lights will turnON and remain lit for

approximately 4-1/2 minutes when power is connected.

Then the lights will turnOFF.

• Insertbottom 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 bum out prematurely,replace with standard

neck Garage Door Opener bulbs. (Fluorescent bulbs are

not recommended because of possible interference with

Fasten Door Bracket

Follow instructions which apply to your door type

as illustrated below or on page 25.

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

•Secure with a ring fastener.

•Run the opener through acomplete travel cycle. If the door has aslight "backward" slant in full open position as shown

in the illustration, decrease the UP limit until the door is parallel to the floor.

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.

If anything interferes with the door's upwardtravel,it

will stop. If anything interferes with the door's dowhward

travel (including binding or unbalanced doors), it will

reverse. t

To operate the opener, press the Door Contsol push

button. Run the opener through a complete travelcycle..

• 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 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 wait 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 least

five feet:

Increase up travel.Turn the UP limit adjustmentscrew

clockwise. One torn 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 (see page 26) and decreasing the down limit.

If the opener reverses in fully dosed position:

Decrease down travel Turn the DOWN limit adjustment

screw clockwise. One tom 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

Sensors are either not installed, misaligned, or obstructed.

See Troubleshooting, page 22.

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.

IAdjustment Step 2Adjust the Force

Force adjustment controls are located on the fight 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 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

interruptedby 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 about3/4 of a

How and When to Adjust the Forces

Test the DOWN (close) force

Grasp the door bottom when the door is abouthalfway

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 turningthe 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/east 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, mn the opener through a complete travel

cycle.

If the door reverses during the down (close) cyde 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, runthe

opener through a complete travel cycle. Do not increase

the force beyond the minimum amount required to

close the door.

Test the Safety Reversing Sensor

•Press the remote control push button to open the door.

•Place the opener cartonin 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 for 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 (alextlng you

to the fact that the sensor is misallgned or obstructed).

The garage door can be closed by pressing and holding the

Door Control push button until down travel is completed.

Adjustment Step 4 I

Test the Safety Reverse System

Test

• Place aone-inch beard (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 turningthe 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 mn the opener through3 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 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 fiat) 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 injury or death.

5. If possible, use the emergency release only when the door is in n 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 could result in severe injury or death. Repairs to cables, spring ussembfias and

other hardware must be made by n professional garage door person.

7. Disconnect the electric power to the garage door opener before making any repairs or removing the covers.
