IMPORTANT INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING —
To reduce the risk of severe injury or death:
1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS.
2. Install only on a properly balanced garage door. An improperly balanced door has the potential to inflict severe inju-
ry. Have a qualified service person make repairs to cables, spring assemblies, and other hardware before installing
the opener.
3. Remove all ropes and remove or make inoperative all locks connected to the garage door before installing opener.
4. Where possible, install the door opener 7 feet or more above the floor. For products having an emergency release,
mount the emergency release within reach, but at least 6 feet above the floor and avoiding contact with vehicles to
avoid accidental release.
5. Do not connect the opener to source of power until instructed to do so.
6. Locate the control button: (a) within sight of door, (b) at a minimum height of 5 feet so small children are not able to
reach it, and (c) away from all moving parts of the door.
7. Install the Entrapment Warning Label next to the wall-mount control button in a prominent location. In case the ad-
hesive does not adhere on the surface, the label should be attached to the surface by mechanical means.
8. After installing the opener, the door must reverse when it contacts a 1-1/2-inch high object (or a 2 by 4 board laid
flat) on the floor.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING —
To reduce the risk of severe injury or death:
1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
2. Never let children operate or play with door controls. Keep the remote control away from children.
3. Always keep the moving door in sight and away from people and objects until it is completely closed. NO ONE
SHOULD CROSS THE PATH OF THE MOVING DOOR.
4. NEVER GO UNDER A STOPPED, PARTIALLY OPEN DOOR.
5. Test door opener monthly. The garage door MUST reverse on contact with a 1-1/2-inch high object (or a 2 by 4
board laid flat) on the floor. After adjusting either the force or the limit of travel, retest the door opener. Failure to
adjust the opener properly increases the risk of severe injury or death.
6. Use the emergency release only when the door is closed. Use caution when using this release with the door open.
Weak or broken springs are capable of increasing the rate of door closure and increasing the risk of severe injury or
death.
7. KEEP GARAGE DOORS PROPERLY BALANCED. See owner’s manual. An improperly balanced door increases
the risk of severe injury or death. Have a qualified service person make repairs to cables, spring assemblies, and
other hardware.

About the Photo Eye Safety System
The Photo Eye Safety System provides protection against
entrapment while the door is closing. When properly connected
and aligned, the emitter Photo Eye emits an invisible infrared
light beam while the Sensor Photo Eye monitors that beam.
If the beam is obstructed during door-closing, the entrapment
protection will be triggered and the door will stop and reverse to
the open position. The courtesy light will flash for 30 seconds
indicating an obstruction.
Installing The Photo Eye Safety System

as a template. Secure with 1/4” x 1” Lag Screws
(provided).
3. If necessary use the Optional Wall-mount Position (Fig.1)
to better fit your door-track and improve obstacle
avoidance. To adjust the position, loosen the wing nut,
disassemble the Bracket and move the Photo Eye to the
lower position on the holder.
4. If necessary, align the Photo Eyes by loosening the wing
nut . (This step may be further required in Aligning the
Photo Eye Safety System on page 15.)
Alternative Floor-mounting
1. Place the Photo Eyes facing each other on each side of
the garage door, as shown in Fig.2.
2. If attaching to concrete, secure the photo eyes using
concrete anchors and bolts (not provided).
3. If necessary, align the Photo Eyes by loosening the wing
nut. (This step may be further required in Aligning the
Photo Eye Safety System on page 15.)
To Connect Photo Eye Safety System
1. Connect a pair of wires from either one of the Photo Eyes
to a pair of “PHOTO EYE” terminals on the rear of the
Opener as shown in Fig. 3. Refer to Wiring Instructions
on page 12 for proper connections.
2. Repeat above step to connect the other Photo Eye.

red light when it senses the invisible light beam from the
Emitter.
3. If the indication is unsteady, flashes or is dim, check for
any obstructions and adjust the position until the Sensor
gives a STEADY RED LIGHT.
Note: The path of the invisible light beam MUST NOT be
obstructed. No part of the garage door or any
hardware should interfere with the beam or the Open-
er will not close the door.
Aligning the Photo Eye Safety System

! WARNING
To prevent SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from improper Force Adjustment:
- DO NOT adjust force to compensate binding or sticking of the garage door. Call a qualified garage door
service person to make necessary adjustments in case of binding.
- DO NOT increase force beyond minimum force required for closing the door. Too much force will cause
improper operation of safety reversal mechanism.
- After ANY adjustments, Safety Reverse Test MUST be performed to ensure the door reverses on contact
with a 1.5” high object (2x4 laid flat).

Final Adjustments and Testing
! WARNING
To prevent SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from a closing garage door:
- The Safety Reversal Test MUST be conducted ONCE A MONTH.
- NO ONE should cross the path of moving door during operation and/or testing.
- If either Force or Travel limit adjustment is made, the other adjustment may also needed.
- After ANY adjustments to the door system, the Safety Reverse Test MUST be performed to ensure the
door reverses on contact with a 1-1/2” thick (2x4 laid flat) object.
- The Photo Eye Safety System MUST be properly aligned, and tested regularly.
Testing the Safety Reverse System
The Safety Reverse System prevents the door from closing
when an obstruction is present.
1. Open the door by using the Push Button.
2. Place a 1-1/2” (3.8cm) thick solid object (or 2x4 laid flat)
on floor under the center of garage door.
3. Keeping the door in sight, use the Push Button to close
the door.
4. The door MUST REVERSE and beep within 1.5 seconds
upon striking the object , and stop at the fully open
position.
5. The Safety Reverse System works properly and the
opener is ready to use.
If the door fails to reverse upon contact with obstruction, adjust
the Opener as follows:
The close travel maybe inadequate, slightly increase the DOWN
limit. (See Travel Limit Adjustment on page 17-19)
Conduct the test again. If the door reverses on contact, remove
the object and run at least 3 COMPLETE travel cycles to ensure
proper adjustment.
If the Opener still fails the Safety Reverse Test, call a qualified
technician for door adjustment.
