Planning
identify the type and height of your garagedoor. Survey
your garageareato seeif any of theconditions below
appty to your installation. Additional materials may be
required. You may find it helpfW to refer backto this page
and the accompanying illustrations as you proceedwith
the installation of your opener_
Dependingon your requirements, there are several
installation stepswhich may calI for materials or hardware
not included in the carton.
, Installation Step 1 - Look at the wait or ceiling above
the garagedoor. The headerbracket must be securely
fastened to structural supports.
• Installation Step 5- Do you havea finished ceiting in
your garage? If so, a support bracket andadditional
fastening hardware may berequired,
• installation Step 10- Depending upon garage
construction, extension brackets or wood blocks may
be neededto instaif sensors.
- Installation Step I0 - Alternate floor mounting of
the safetyreversing sensor will require hardware not
provided.
Doyou havean accessdoor in addition to the garage
door? 1tnot, Modei 7702CB Emergency Key Releaseis
required. SeeAccessories page.
Look atthe garage door where it meets the floor. Any
gap betweenthe floor and the bottom of the door must
not exceed 1/4"(6 ram). Otherwise,the safety reversal
system may not work properly. SeeAdjustment Step 3.
Floor or door should berepaired.
SECTIONALDOORINSTALLATIONS
- Do you haveasteel, aluminum, fibergIass or glass
panel door? if so, horizontal and vertical reinforcement
is required (installation Step 11).
• Theopener should beinstalled above thecenter of the
door. if there is a torsion spring or center bearing pinto
in the way of the headerbracket, it may be installed
within 4 feet(1.2 m) to the left or right of the door
center. See Installation StepsI and tl.
• If your door is more than 7 feet (2.t m) high, see rail
extension kits listed on Accessories page.

information relating to sectional doors in Installation
Step 11.
° Dependingon your door's construction, you may need
additional mounting hardware for the door bracket
(Step 11).
Without a properly working safety reversal system,
persons (particularly small children) could be
SERIOUSLYINJUREDor KILLED by aclosing garage

flat. if installing into drywall (Figure 1), drill 5/32" ho_es
and useanchors provided. For pre-wired installations (as
in new homeconstruction), it may be mounted to a single
gangbox (Figure 2). NOTE:After installation, agreen or
amber indicator light behind thecover will indicate proper
connection. If not lit, the Lockand Light features will not
function (reverse wires to correct).
1. Strip 7/16" (tl ram) 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 WriT andwhite/red
wire to the RED(Figure 3).
2. Removewhite cover by gently prying on a side
corner nearthe top of thecover with asmall flat head
screwdriver (Figure 4), Fastenwith 6ABx1-ti4"
self-tapping screws (drywall installation) or 6-32xt"
machine screws (into gang box) as fOllOwS:
- Drill and instatl bottom screw, allowing I/8" (3 mm)
to protrude above wall surface.
• Position bottom ot door controI on screw head and
slide down to secure. Adjust screw for snug fit,
•tnstali top screw with care to avoid cracking plastic
housing. Denot overtighten,
-Insert bottom tabs and snap on cover.
NOTE: Thepush bar may stick if thedoor control is not
mounted on a smooth surface, ira click is not heard
when pressing thepush bar, loosen thetwo mounting
screws or relocate thedoor control to a smoother
surfacer
3. (Standard installation only) Run bell wire up wattand
across ceiling to motor unit. Use insulated staplesto
secure wire in several places. Donot pierce wire with a
staple,creating a short or opencircuit.
4. Strip 7/16" (11 ram) of insulation from end of bell wire.
Connectbell wire to the quick-connect terminals as
foflows: white to white andwhite/red to red (Figure5),
NOTE:When connecting multiple door controls tothe
opener, twist samecolor wires together. Insed wires
into quick-connect holes: white to white and red/white
to red.
5, Use tacks or staples to permanentfyattach entrapment
warning labelto wall neardoor control, and manuat
release/safety reverse test labelin a prominent location
on inside of garagedoor,
NOTE: DONOT connect power and operateopener at this
time. Thetrolley will travel to the full open position but wilt
not return to the close position until the sensor beamis
connected and properly aligned.

To prevent possible SERIOUSINJURYor DEATHfrom
electrocution:
• Besure power is NOTconnected BEFOREinstalling
door control,
• Connect ONLYto 24 VOLTlow vottage wires.
To prevent possibleSERIOUSiNJURY or DEATHfrom a
closing garagedoor:
• lnstalt door controI within sight of garage door, out
of reach of children at a minimum height of 5 feet
(1.5 m) and awayfrom ALL moving pads of door.
- NEVERpermit children to operate or play with door
control push buttons or remote control transmitters.

ElectricalRequirements
To avoid installation difficulties, do notrun the opener
at thistime.
To reducethe risk of electric shock, your garagedoor
opener has a grounding type plug with a third grounding
pin. This plug wilt only fit into a grounding type outlet.
it the plug doesn't fit into the outlet you have,contact a
qualified electrician to install the proper outlet.
If permanentwiring isrequired by yourlocal code, refer
to the following procedure.
To make a permanent connection through the 7/8" (2 cm)
hole in the top of the motor unit:
• Removethe motor unit cover screws and set thecover
aside.
-Removethe attached 3-prong cord.
,Connectthe black (line) wire to the screw on the brass
terminal; thewhite (neutral) wire to the screw on
the silver terminal; andthe ground wire to the green
ground screw.The opener mustbegrounded.
•Reinstallthe cover,
To avoid installation difficulties, do not run the opener
at this time.
To prevent possibte SERIOUSINJURY or DEATHfrom
electrocution or fire:
•Besure power is NOTconnected to the opener,
anddisconnect power to circuit BEFOREremoving
cover to establish permanent wiring connection.
• Garagedoor installation andwiring MUSTbe in
compliance with ALL Iocai electrical and building
codes.
•NEVERuse anextension cord, 2-wire adapteror
changeplug in ANY way to make it tit outlet. Be
surethe opener is grounded.

IMPORTANTINFORMATIONABOUTTHESAFETY
REVERSING SENSOR
When properly connected andaligned, the sensor will
detect an obstacfe in the path of its electronic beam. The
sending eye(with an amber indicator light) transmits an
invisible tight beam to the receiving eye (with a green
indicator fight). Ifan obstruction breaks the light beam
while the door is closing, the door will stop andreverse to
full openposition, and the opener lights wilt flash 10 times.
The units must be installed inside thegarageso that the
sending and receiving eyes face each other across the
door, no more than 6" (15 cm) abovethe floor. Either can
beinstalled on the teftor right of the door as long as the
sun never shines directly into the receiving eyelens.
The mounting brackets are designed to clip onto the track
of sectiona4garagedoors without additional hardware,
Besure power isNOTconnected to the garagedoor
openerBEFOREinstalling the safety reversingsensor.
To prevent SERIOUSiNJURYor DEATHfrom a closing
garagedoor:
• Correctly connect and align the safety reversing
sensor. This required safety device MUSTNOT
be disabled.
•{nstall the safety reversing sensor so beamis
NO HIGHERthan 6" (15 cm) abovegarage floor_
if it is necessaryto mount the units on thewall, the
brackets must be securely fastened to asolid surtace such
as thewall framing. Extension brackets (seeAccessories)
areavailable if needed, tf installing in masonry
construction, adda pieceof wood at each location to
avoiddriIling extra holes in masonry if repositioning is
necessary,
Theinvisible light beam path must beunobstructed. No
part of the garagedoor (or door tracks, springs, hinges,
rollers or other hardware) may interrupt the beamwhile
thedoor is closing.
