1.2 Extend the line onto the header wall above the door.
Youcan fasten the header bracket within 4 feet (1.22 m) of the left orright of the door
center only if a torsion spring orcenter bearing plate is in the way; or you canattach it to
the ceilingwhenclearance is minimal.(It may be mounted onthe wall upside down if
necessary, to gain approximately 1/2" (1 cm).
If you need to install the header bracketon a 2x4 (on wall or ceiling), use lag screws(not
provided) to securely fasten the 2x4 to structural supports.
1.3 Open your door to the highest point oftravel as shown.Draw an intersecting horizontal line on
the header wall 2" (5 cm) above the high point. This height will provide travel clearance for the

rightside up.Tie a knot at least1 inch (2.5 cm) from
the end of the emergency release rope.
7.2 Insert the other end of the emergencyrelease rope
through the hole in the trolley release arm. Mount
the emergency release within reach, but at least 6
feet (1.83 m) above the floor, avoiding contact with
vehicles to prevent accidental release and secure
with a knot.
NOTE: If it is necessary to cut the emergency release rope,
seal the cut end with a match or lighter to prevent

Fiberglass, aluminum or lightweight steel garage doors WILLREQUIRE reinforcement BEFORE
installation of door bracket.Contactyour door manufacturer for reinforcement kit.
Figure 1 shows one piece of angle iron asthe horizontal brace.
For the vertical brace,2 pieces ofangle iron are used to create a
U-shaped support.The bestsolution is to checkwith your garage
door manufacturer for an opener installation door reinforcement
kit.
NOTE: Many door reinforcement kits provide for direct attachment
of the clevis pin and door arm. In this case you will not need the
door bracket; proceed to the next step.

8.3 Mark, drill holes and install as follows, depending on your door’s construction:
Metal orlight weight doors using a vertical angle ironbrace between the door panel support
and the door bracket:
• Drill 3/16" fastening holes. Secure the door bracketusing the two selfthreading screws.
(Figure 2)
• Alternately, use two 5/16" bolts, lock washers and nuts (not provided). (Figure 3)
Metal, insulated or light weight factory reinforced doors:
• Drill 3/16" fastening holes.Secure the door bracket using the self-threading screws.(Figure 4)
Wood Doors:

door opener BEFORE installing the safety
reversing sensor.
To prevent SERIOUS INJURY or DEATHfrom
closing garage door:
• Correctly connectand align the safety
reversing sensor. This required safety
device MUST NOT be disabled.
• Install the safety reversing sensor so beam
is NO HIGHER than 6" (15 cm) above
garage floor.

IMPORTANTINFORMATIONABOUTTHESAFETYREVERSINGSENSORS
The safety reversing sensors must be connected and aligned correctly before the garage dooropenerwill move inthe downdirection.
The sending sensor (with an amber LED) transmits an invisible lightbeam to the receiving sensor (with a green LED). Ifan obstruction breaksthe light
beam while the door is closing, the door will stop and reverse to the full open position,and the garage door opener lights will flash 10 times.
NOTE: For energy efficiency the garage door opener will enter sleep mode when the door is fully closed. The sleep mode shuts the garage door
opener down until activated. The sleep mode is sequenced with the garage door opener light bulb; as the light bulb turns off the sensor LEDs will turn
offand whenever the garage door opener lights turn on the sensor LEDs will light. The garage door opener will not go into the sleep mode until the
garage door opener has completed 5 cycles upon power up.
Wheninstallingthe safety reversing sensors check the following:
• Sensors are installed inside the garage, one on either side of the door.
• Sensors are facing each other with the lenses aligned and the receiving sensor lens does notreceive directsunlight.
• Sensors are no more than 6 inches (15 cm) above the floor and the light beam isunobstructed.

1Install the Safety Reversing Sensors
The safetyreversing sensors can be attached to the door track, the wall, or the floor. Ifthe door track will not support the sensor bracket a wall installation isrecommended. Choose one of the following installations.
HARDWARE
Carriage Bolt
1/4"-20x1/2"
Wing Nut
1/4"-20
OPTION A DOOR TRACK INSTALLATION
1.1A Slide the curved arms of the sensor
bracketaround the edge ofthe door
track.Snap into place so thatthe
sensor bracket is flush against the
track.
1.2A Slide the carriage boltinto the sloton
each sensor.
Carriage Bolt
1/4" - 20 x 1/2"
1.3A Insert the bolt through the hole in the sensor
bracket and attach with the wing nut.The lenses
on both sensors should point toward each other.
Make sure the lens is not obstructed by the
sensor bracket.
Wing Nut
1/4" - 20
OPTION B WALLINSTALLATION
If additional clearance isneeded an extension bracket(not provided) or wood blocks can be used. Make sure each brackethas the same amount ofclearance so they will align correctly.
1.1B Position the sensor bracket against the
wall with the curved arms facing the
door.Make sure there is enough
clearance for the beam to be
unobstructed. Mark holes.
(not provided)
1.2B Drill 3/16 inch pilot holes for each sensor
bracket and attach the sensor brackets
to the wall using lag screws (not
provided).

2 Wire the Safety Reversing
Sensors OPTION A INSTALLATION WITHOUT PRE-WIRING
PRE-WIRED INSTALLATIONS: If your garage
already has wires installed for the safety reversing
sensors, see page 20.
HARDWARE
Insulated Staple
(Not shown)
2.1A Run the wire from both sensors to the
garage door opener. Attach the wire to
the wall and ceiling with the staples.
Staple
2.2A Strip 7/16 inch (11 mm) ofinsulation
from each set of wires. Separate the
wires. Twist the white wires together.
Twist the white/black wires together.
7/16"

2.3A Insert the white wires into the white terminal on
the garage door opener. Insert the white/black
wires into the grey terminal on the garage door
opener. To insert or remove the wires from the
terminal,push in the tab with a screwdriver tip.

OPTION B PRE-WIRED INSTALLATION
2.1B Cut the end of the safety
reversing sensor wire, making
sure there is enough wire to
reach the pre-installed wires
from the wall.
2.2B Separate the safetyreversing sensor wires and strip 7/16 inch (11 mm) of
insulation from each end.Choose two of the pre-installed wires and strip 7/16
inch (11 mm) of insulation from each end. Make sure that you choose the
same color pre-installed wires for each sensor.

making sure the colors correspond for each sensor. For example,
the white wire would connect to the yellow wire and the white/black
wire would connectto the purple wire.
