To prevent damage to garage door and opener:
• ALWAYS disable locks BEFORE installing and
operating the opener.
• ONLY operate garage door opener at 120V, 60 Hz
to avoid malfunction and damage.
To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH:
• ALWAYS call a trained door systems technician if
garage door binds, sticks, or is out of balance. An
unbalanced garage door may NOT reverse when
required.
• NEVER try to loosen, move or adjust garage door,
door springs, cables, pulleys, brackets or their
hardware, ALL of which are under EXTREME
tension.
• Disable ALL locks and remove ALL ropes
connected to garage door BEFORE installing
and operating garage door opener to avoid
entanglement.
Preparing your garage door
Before you begin:
• Disable locks.
• Remove any ropes connected to garage door.
• Complete the following test to make sure your garage
door is balanced and is not sticking or binding:
1. Lift the door about halfway as shown. Release the
door. If balanced, it should stay in place, supported
entirely by its springs.
2. Raise and lower the door to see if there is any
binding or sticking.
If your door binds, sticks, or is out of balance, call a
trained door systems technician.

Planning
Identify the type and height of your garage door. Survey
your garage area to see if any of the conditions below
apply to your installation. Additional materials may be
required. You may find it helpful to refer back to this page
and the accompanying illustrations as you proceed with
the installation of your opener.
Depending on your requirements, there are several
installation steps which may call for materials or hardware
not included in the carton.
• Installation Step 1 – Look at the wall or ceiling above
the garage door. The header bracket must be securely
fastened to structural supports.
• Installation Step 5 – Do you have a finished ceiling in
your garage? If so, a support bracket and additional
fastening hardware may be required.
• Installation Step 10 – Depending upon garage
construction, extension brackets or wood blocks may
be needed to install sensors.
• Installation Step 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 7702C Emergency Key Release is
required. See Accessories 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" (6 mm). 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 (Installation Step 11).
• The opener should be installed above the center of the
door. If there is a torsion spring or center bearing plate
in the way of the header bracket, it may be installed
within 4 feet (1.22 m) to the left or right of the door
center. See Installation Steps 1 and 11.
• If your door is more than 7 feet (2.13 m) high, see rail
extension kits listed on Accessories page.

INSTALLATION STEP 1
Determine the Header Bracket Location
Installation procedures vary according to garage door
types. Follow the instructions which apply to your door.
1. Close the door and mark the inside vertical centerline
of the garage door.
2. Extend the line onto the header wall above the door.
You can fasten the header bracket within 4 feet
(1.22 m) of the left or right of the door center only if
a torsion spring or center bearing plate is in the way;
or you can attach it to the ceiling (see page 13) when
clearance is minimal. (It may be mounted on the
wall upside down if necessary, to gain approximately
1/2" (1 cm).
If you need to install the header bracket on a 2x4
(on wall or ceiling), use lag screws (not provided)
to securely fasten the 2x4 to structural supports as
shown here and on page 13.
3. Open your door to the highest point of travel as shown.
Draw an intersecting horizontal line on the header wall
above the high point:
• 2" (5 cm) above the high point for sectional door
and one-piece door with track.
• 8" (20 cm) above the high point for one-piece door
without track.
This height will provide travel clearance for the top
edge of the door.
NOTE: If the total number of inches exceeds the height
available in your garage, use the maximum height
possible, or refer to page 13 for ceiling installation.
To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH:
• Header bracket MUST be RIGIDLY fastened to
structural support on header wall or ceiling,
otherwise garage door might NOT reverse when
required. DO NOT install header bracket over
drywall.
• Concrete anchors MUST be used if mounting
header bracket or 2x4 into masonry.
• NEVER try to loosen, move or adjust garage
door, springs, cables, pulleys, brackets, or their
hardware, ALL of which are under EXTREME
tension.
• ALWAYS call a trained door systems technician if
garage door binds, sticks, or is out of balance. An
unbalanced garage door might NOT reverse when
required.

INSTALLATION STEP 5
Hang the Opener
Three representative installations are shown. Yours may
be different. Hanging brackets should be angled
(Figure 1) to provide rigid support. On finished ceilings
(Figure 2 and Figure 3), attach a sturdy metal bracket
to structural supports before installing the opener. This
bracket and fastening hardware are not provided.
1. Measure the distance from each side of the motor unit
to the structural support.
2. Cut both pieces of the hanging bracket to required
lengths.
3. Drill 3/16" pilot holes in the structural supports.
4. Attach one end of each bracket to a support with
5/16"-9x1-5/8" lag screws.
5. Fasten the opener to the hanging brackets with
5/16"-18x7/8" hex bolts, lock washers and nuts.
6. Check to make sure the rail is centered over the door
(or in line with the header bracket if the bracket is not
centered above the door).
7. Remove the 2x4. Operate the door manually. If the
door hits the rail, raise the header bracket.
NOTE: DO NOT connect power to opener at
this time.
To avoid possible SERIOUS INJURY from a falling
garage door opener, fasten it SECURELY to structural
supports of the garage. Concrete anchors MUST be
used if installing any brackets into masonry.

To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from
electrocution:
• Be sure power is NOT connected BEFORE installing
door control.
• Connect ONLY to 24 VOLT low voltage wires.
To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from a
closing garage door:
• Install door control within sight of garage door, out
of reach of children at a minimum height of 5 feet
(1.5 m), and away from ALL moving parts of door.
• NEVER permit children to operate or play with door
control push buttons or remote control transmitters.
• Activate door ONLY when it can be seen clearly, is
properly adjusted, and there are no obstructions to
door travel.
• ALWAYS keep garage door in sight until completely
closed. NEVER permit anyone to cross path of
closing garage door.
INSTALLATION STEP 6
Install the Door Control
Locate door control within sight of door at a minimum
height of 5 feet (1.5 m) where small children cannot
reach, and away from moving parts of door and door
hardware. The installation surface must be smooth and
flat. If installing into drywall, drill 5/32" holes and use
anchors provided. For pre-wired installations (as in new
home construction), it may be mounted to a single gang
box.
NOTE: After installation, a green or amber indicator light
behind the cover will indicate proper connection. If not
lit, the Lock and Light features will not function (reverse
wires to correct).
1. Strip 7/16" (11 mm) of insulation from one end of bell
wire and connect to the two screw terminals on back
of door control by color: white wire to WHT and white/
red wire to the RED (Figure 1).
2. Lighted door control: Fasten to wall with 6ABx1" self-
tapping screws.
Multi-function door control: Remove cover by gently
prying on the top of the cover with a small flat head
screwdriver (Figure 2). Fasten with 6ABx1" self-tapping
screws (drywall installation) or 6-32x1" machine
screws (into gang box) as follows:
• Drill and install bottom screw, allowing 1/8" to
protrude above wall surface.
• Position bottom of door control on screw head and
slide down to secure. Adjust screw for snug fit.
• Install top screw with care to avoid cracking plastic
housing. Do not overtighten.
• Insert bottom tabs and snap on cover (Figure 3).
(To remove cover after mounting, gently pry at top
with paper clip or small flat head screwdriver.)
NOTE: The push bar may stick if the door control is not
mounted on a smooth surface. If a click is not heard when
pressing the push bar, loosen the two mounting screws or
relocate the door control to a smoother surface.
3. (Standard installation only) Run bell wire up wall and
across ceiling to motor unit. Use insulated staples to
secure wire in several places. Do not pierce wire with a
staple, creating a short or open circuit.
4. Strip 7/16" (11 mm) of insulation from end of bell wire.
Connect bell wire to the quick-connect terminals as
follows: white to white and white/red to red (Figure 4).
5. Use tacks or staples to permanently attach entrapment
warning label to wall near door control, and manual
release/safety reverse test label in a prominent location
on inside of garage door.
NOTE: DO NOT connect power and operate 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.

INSTALLATION STEP 7
Install the Light
1. Press the release tabs on both sides of lens. Gently
rotate lens back and downward until the lens hinge is
in the fully open position. Do not remove the lens.
2. Install up to a 100 watt maximum light bulb in the
socket. Light bulb size should be A19, standard
neck only. The light will turn ON and remain lit for
approximately 4-1/2 minutes when power is
connected. Then the light will turn OFF.
3. Reverse the procedure to close the lens.
4. Use A19, standard neck garage door opener bulbs for
replacement.
NOTE: Use only a standard light bulb. The use of a short
neck or speciality light bulb may overheat the endpanel or
light socket.
INSTALLATION STEP 8
Attach the Emergency Release Rope
and Handle
1. Insert one end of the emergency release rope through
the handle. Make sure that “NOTICE” is right side up.
Tie a knot at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) from the end of the
emergency release rope.
2. Insert the other end of the emergency release 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
unraveling. Ensure the emergency release rope and
handle are above the top of all vehicles to avoid
entanglement.
To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from
a falling garage door:
• If possible, use emergency release handle to
disengage trolley ONLY when garage door is
CLOSED. Weak or broken springs or unbalanced
door could result in an open door falling rapidly
and/or unexpectedly.
• NEVER use emergency release handle unless
garage doorway is clear of persons and
obstructions.
• NEVER use handle to pull door open or closed. If
rope knot becomes untied, you could fall.
To prevent possible OVERHEATING of the endpanel or
light socket:
• DO NOT use short neck or specialty light bulbs.
• DO NOT use halogen bulbs. Use ONLY
incandescent.
To prevent damage to the opener:
• DO NOT use bulbs larger than 100W.
• ONLY use A19 size bulbs.

INSTALLATION STEP 9
Electrical Requirements
To avoid installation difficulties, do not run the opener
at this time.
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 doesn’t fit into the outlet you have, contact a
qualified electrician to install the proper outlet.
If permanent wiring is required by your local code, refer
to the following procedure.
To make a permanent connection through the 7/8" hole in
the top of the motor unit:
1. Remove the motor unit cover screws and set the
cover aside.
2. Remove the attached 3-prong cord.
3. 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.
4. Reinstall the cover.
To avoid installation difficulties, do not run the opener
at this time.
To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from
electrocution or fire:
• Be sure power is NOT connected to the opener,
and disconnect power to circuit BEFORE removing
cover to establish permanent wiring connection.
• Garage door installation and wiring MUST be in
compliance with ALL local electrical and building
codes.
• NEVER use an extension cord, 2-wire adapter, or
change plug in ANY way to make it fit outlet. Be
sure the opener is grounded.

INSTALLATION STEP 10
Install The Protector System®
The safety reversing sensor must be connected and
aligned correctly before the garage door opener will
move in the down direction.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT
THE SAFETY REVERSING SENSOR
When properly connected and aligned, the sensor will
detect an obstacle in the path of its electronic beam. The
sending eye (with an amber 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 lights 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, no more than 6" (15 cm) 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 are designed to clip onto the track
of sectional garage doors without additional hardware.
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 must be unobstructed. No
part of the garage door (or door tracks, springs, hinges,
rollers or other hardware) may interrupt the beam while
the door is closing.
Be sure power is NOT connected to the garage door
opener BEFORE installing the safety reversing sensor.
To prevent SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from a
closing garage door:
• Correctly connect and 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.

INSTALLING THE BRACKETS
Be sure power to the opener is disconnected. Install
and align the brackets so the sensors will face each other
across the garage door, with the beam no higher than 6"
(15 cm) above the floor. They may be installed in one of
three ways, as follows.
Garage door track installation (preferred):
1. Slip the curved arms over the rounded edge of each
door track, with the curved arms facing the door. Snap
into place against the side of the track. It should lie
flush, with the lip hugging the back edge of the track,
as shown in Figure 1.
If your door track will not support the bracket securely,
wall installation is recommended.
Wall installation (Figure 2 & 3):
1. Place the bracket against the wall with curved arms
facing the door. Be sure there is enough clearance for
the sensor beam to be unobstructed.
2. If additional depth is needed, an extension bracket (See
Accessories) or wood blocks can be used.
3. 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, no higher than 6" (15 cm) above
the floor.
4. Attach brackets to wall with lag screws (Not provided).
5. If using extension brackets or wood blocks, adjust
right and left assemblies to the same distance out from
the mounting surface. Make sure all door hardware
obstructions are cleared.
Floor installation (Figure 4):
1. Use wood blocks or extension brackets (See
Accessories) to elevate sensor brackets so the lenses
will be no higher than 6" (15 cm) above the floor.
2. Carefully measure and place right and left assemblies
at the same distance out from the wall. Be sure all door
hardware obstructions are cleared.
3. Fasten to the floor with concrete anchors as shown.
