Planning
Identify the type and height of your garage door.
Survey your garage area to see if any of the
conditionsbelow apply to your installation.Additional
materials may be required. You may find it helpful to
refer back to this page and the accompanying
illustrationsas you proceed with the installationof
your opener.
Depending on your requirements,there are several
installationsteps which may call for materialsor
hardware not included in the carton.
• InstallationStep 1 - Look at the wall or ceiling
above the garage door.The header bracket must
be securely fastened to structuralsupports.
• InstallationStep 5 - Do you have a finished ceiling
in your garage? If so, a supportbracket and
additionalfastening hardware may be required.
• InstallationStep 10- Depending upon garage
construction,extension brackets or wood blocks
may be needed to install sensors.
• InstallationStep 10 -Alternate floor mounting of
the safety reversing sensor will require hardware
not provided.

Do you have an access door in addition to the
garage door? If not, Model 53702 Emergency Key
Release is required. See Acoessodes page.
Look at the garage door where it meets the floor.
Any gap between the floor and the bottom of the
door must not exceed 1/4". Otherwise, the safety
reversal system may not work properly. See
Adjustment Step 3. Floor or door should be
repaired.

SECTIONAL DOOR INSTALLATIONS
• Do you have a steel, aluminum, fiberglass or glass
panel door? If so, horizontal and vertical reinforcement is required (InstallationStep tl).
• The opener should be installed above the center of
the door. If there is a torsion spdng or center
beadng plate in the way of the header bracket, it
may be installed within 4 feet to the left or right of
the door center. See Installation Steps 1 and 11.

The safety reversing sensor must be connected

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT
THE SAFETY REVERSING SENSOR

- Installthesafetyreversingsensorso beamis NO
HIGHERthan6"abovegaragefloor.

When properly connected and aligned, the 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
obstructionbreaks the light beam while the door is
closing, the door will stop and reverse to full open
position,and the opener lightswill flash 10 times.

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, ff
installingin masonry construction,add a piece of
wood at each locationto avoid ddlling extra holes in
masonry if ropositioningis necessary.
The invisible light beam path must be unobstructed.
No part of the garage door (or door tracks, springs,
hinges, rollersor other hardware) may interruptthe
beam while the door is closing.

The units must be installed inside the garage so that
the sending and receiving eyes face each other
across the door, no higher than 6" above the floor.
Either can be installedon the left or dght of the door
as long as the sun never shines directly into the
receiving eye lens.
The mountingbrackets are designed to clip onto the
track of sectional garage doors without additional
hardware.

• Strip 7/16" of insulationfrom each set of wires.
Separate white and white/black wires sufficientlyto
connect to the opener quick-connectterminals.
Twist like coloredwires together. Insert wires into
quick-connect holes: white to white and white/black
to grey (Figure 5).

TROUBLESHOOTING THE SAFETY SENSORS
1. If the sending eye indicator light does not glow
steadily after installation,check for:
• Electdc power to the opener.
• A short in the white or white/black wires. These
can occur at staples, or at opener connections.
• Incorrectwiring between sensors and opener.
• A broken wire.

AUGNING THE SAFETY SENSORS
• Plug in the opener. The indicator lights in both the
sending and receiving eyes will glow steadily if
winng connections and alignment are correct.

2. If the sending eye indicator light glows steadilybut
the receivingeye indicator light doesn't:
• Check alignment.
• Check for an open wire to the receivingeye.

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.

3. If the receivingeye indicator light is dim, realign
either sensor.
NOTE: When the invisiblebeam path is obstructed
or misaligned while the door is closing, the door will
reverse. If the door is already open, it willnot close.
The opener lights will flash 10 times. See page 21.

• Loosen the receiving eye wing nut and adjust
sensor until it receives the sender's beam. When
the green indicatorlight glows steadily, tighten the
wing nut.

Increase up travel. Tum the UP limitadjustment
screw clockwise. One turn equals 3" of
trolley travel.
NOTE: To prevent the trolley from hitting the cover
protectionbolt, keep a minimum 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 explained in
Adjustment Step 2.

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

• If the door does not close completely:
Increase down travel. Turn the down limit
adjustment screw countemlockwise.One tum
equals 3" of trolley travel.
If door stillwon't close completely,try lengthening
the door arm (page 26) and decreasing the
down limit.

If the opener lights are flashing, the Safety
Reversing Sensors are either not installed,
misaligned, or obstructed. See Troubleshooting,
page 23.
Test the door for binding: Pull the emergency
release handle. Manually open and close the door.
If the door is binding, cell a trained doer systems
technician. If the door is not bindingor unbalanced,
adjust the DOWN (close) force. See Adjustment

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
conditionscan 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.
NOTE: ff anything interferes with the door's upward
travel, ff will stop. If anything interferes with the

HOW AND WHEN TO ADJUST THE FORCES
1. Test the DOWN (close) force

O

• Grasp the door bottomwhen 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 Adjustment Step 3, page 30.
If the door is hard to hold or doesn't reverse,
DECREASE the DOWN (close) force by turning
the controlcounterclockwise.Make small
adjustments until the door reverses normally.
After each adjustment, run the opener through
a complete cycle.
• If the door reverses during the down (close)
cycle end the opener lights aren't flashing,
INCREASE DOWN (close) force by turning the
controlclock'wise.Make small adjustmentsuntil
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.

Control or the remote control:
• 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 controlledby a wall switch.)
• Have you disabled all door locks? Review installation
instructionwarnings on page 11.
• Is there a build-up of ice or snow under the door? The door
may be frozen to the ground. Remove any restriction.
• The garage door spring may be broken. Have it replaced,
• Repeated operation may have tripped the overload
protector in the motor. Wait 15 minutes and try again,

10. The door reverses for no apparent reason and opener
lights don't blink:
• Is something obstructingthe door? Pull the emergency
release handle. Operate the door manually.If it is unbalanced
or binding, call a trained door systems technician.
• Clear any ice or snow from the garage floor area where
the door closes.
• Review Adjustment Step 2.
• If dour reverses in the fully closed position, decrease the
travel limits (Adjustment Step 1).
Repeat safety reverse test after adjustments to force or travel
limits. The need for occasional adjustment of the force and
limit settings is normal Weather conditionsin particular can
affect door travel.

2. Opener operates from the remote, but not from the
Door Control:
• Is the door control lit? If not, reverse the wires. If the
opener runs, check for a faulty wire connection at the door
control, a short under the staples, or a broken wire.
• Are the wiring connections correct? Review Instal/atioo
Step 6, page 18,
3. The door operates from the Door Control, but not from
the remote control:

11. The door reverses for no apparent reason and opener
lights blink for 5 seconds after reversing:
