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 4- Depending upon garage
construction, extension brackets or wood blocks may
be needed to install sensors.
• Installation Step 4 - Alternate floor mounting of the
safety reversing sensor will require hardware not
provided.
• Installation Step 6 - Do you have a finished ceiling in
your garage? If so, a support bracket and additional
fastening hardware may be required.
Do you have an access door in addition to the garage
door? If not, Model 53702 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 12).
• 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 (1.2 m) to the left or right of the door
center. See Installation Steps 1 and 12.
• If your door is more than 7 feet (2.13 m) high, see rail
extension kits listed on Accessories page.
SECTIONAL DOOR INSTALLATION
Horizontal and vertical reinforcement
is needed for lightweight garage doors
(fiberglass, steel, aluminum, door with
glass panels, etc,), See page 23 for details.

INSTALLATION STEP 4
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.
Be sure power is not connectedto the garage door opener
BEFOREinstalling the safety reversingsensor.
To prevent SERIOUSINJURYor DEATHfrom a closing
garage door:
• Correctly connect and align the safety reversing sensor.
This required safety device MUSTNOTbe disabled.
• Install the safety reversing sensor so beam is NOHIGHER
than 6" (15 cm) abovegarage floor.
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.
Protection Area Safety Reversing Sensor
6" (15 cm) max, above floor
Facing the door from inside the garage
15

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):
•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):
• 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.
• If additional depth is needed, an extension bracket
(See Accessories) or wood blocks can be used.
• 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.
• Attach brackets to wall with lag screws (Not provided).
• 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):
• 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.
• Carefully measure and place right and left assemblies
at the same distance out from the wall. Be sure all
door hardware obstructions are cleared.
• Fasten to the floor with concrete anchors as shown.

MOUNTING AND WIRING THE SAFETY SENSORS
• Slide a 1/4"-20xl/2" carriage bolt head into the slot on
each sensor. Use wing nuts to fasten sensors to
brackets, with lenses pointing toward each other
across the door. Be sure the lens is not obstructed by
a bracket extension (Figure 5).
• Finger tighten the wing nuts.
Recommended Wire Routing
1. Using insulated staples, run the wires from both
sensors to the rail at the door header (Figure 6).
2. Run the wires through wire clip at the top of the rails.
NOTE: If your access door is near the garage door,
you may choose to install the door control at this time
and run the door control wire along the rail with the
sensor wires. If you choose this option, follow
instructions 1-3 on page 20.

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"-18xl -7/8" 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 SERIOUSINJURYfrom a falling garage
door opener,fastenit SECURELYto structural supports of
the garage.Concreteanchors MUSTbe usedif installing any
brackets into masonry.

INSTALLATION STEP 7
Install the Door Control
Locate door control within sight of door, at a minimum
height of 5 feet (1.52 m) where small children cannot
reach, away from moving parts of door and door
hardware. If installing into drywall, drill 5/32" holes and
use the anchors provided. For pre-wired installations
(as in new home construction), it may be mounted to a
single gang box (Figure 2).
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 2 and white/red
wire to the 1.
2. Remove cover by gently prying at slot in side of the
cover with a small flat head screwdriver. Fasten with
6ABx1-1/4" self-tapping screws (drywall installation) or
6-32x1" machine screws (into gang box) as follows:
• Drill and install bottom screw, allowing 1/8" (3 mm) to
protrude above wall surface.
• Position bottom of door control on screw head and
slide down to secure. Adjust screw for snug fit.
• Drill and install top screw with care to avoid cracking
plastic housing. Do not over tighten.
• Insert top tabs and snap on cover.
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. If your
access door is near the garage door, you may run this
wire with the Safety Reversing Sensor wires along the
top of the rail. See page 17.
4. Insert all wires through the opening on top of motor
unit above the terminal block on the back panel
(Figure 3).
5. Strip 7/16" (11 mm) of insulation from each set of
wires. Insert door control wire into quick-connect
terminals by color: white wire to white, white/red wire
to red.
Separate white and white/black wires sufficiently to
connect to the opener quick-connect terminals. Twist
like colored wires together. Insert wires into quick-
connect holes: white to white and white/black to grey.
NOTE: When connecting multiple door controls to the
opener, twist same color wires together. Insert wires into
quick-connect holes: white to white and red/white to red.
6. 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 the power and operate the
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.
To prevent possible SERIOUSINJURYor DEATHfrom
electrocution:
• Besure power is not connected BEFOREinstalling door
control.
• ConnectONLYto 24 VOLTlow voltage wires.
To prevent possible SERIOUSINJURYor DEATHfrom a
closing garagedoor:
• Install door control within sight of garagedoor, out of reach
of children at a minimum height of 5 feet
(1.5 m), and away from all moving parts of door.
• NEVERpermit children to operateor play with door control
push buttons or remote control transmitters.
• Activate door ONLYwhen it can be seenclearly, is properly
adjusted, andthere are no obstructions to door travel.
• ALWAYSkeepgarage door in sight until completely closed.
NEVERpermit anyoneto cross path of closing garage door.
