4. TOOLS
The instructions will refer to the tools shown below for proper installation, adjustment, and maintenance of the garage door operator. Additional
tools may be required depending on your particular installation.
5. GARAGE
Take a moment to survey your garage and garage door.
• Is there an access door besides the garage door? If not, you should
install an emergency key release kit.
• With the garage door closed, check alignment of door and garage floor.
The gap, if any, should be no more than 1/4”. If the gap is larger than
this, repair floor or door before installing operator.
• The operator is intended for installation on a properly balanced and
adjusted garage door. O NOT INSTALL IF OOR IS UNBALANCE
OR BROKEN.
• Check balance of door in mid travel and during full range of opening and
closing. Lift the door about half way, (see Fig. 2). Release the door.
It should remain in place, supported by its springs. Raise and lower the
door fully to check for binding or sticking.
• If door is out of balance or needs repair, O NOT A JUST IT
YOURSELF. CALL A QUALIFIE GARAGE OOR SERVICE
PROFESSIONAL to adjust your door.
• If your door is over 7 ft. high, you will need a longer rail (see Fig. 7 on
page 6) “Rail Assembly” of this manual for availability of longer rails.
A garage door is a heavy moving object and can cause
serious injury or death. An unbalanced door might not
reverse when required, and can increase the risk of
injury. f your garage door is out of balance, or if it binds
or sticks, call for professional garage door service.
Garage doors, springs, pulleys, cables, and hardware
are under extreme tension and can cause serious injury
or death. Do not try to adjust them yourself. Ropes left
on a garage door could cause someone to become
entangled and could kill them. Remove all ropes
connected to the door before installing your operator.
To prevent damage to steel, aluminum, fiberglass
or glass panel doors, always reinforce the inside of
the door both vertically and horizontally with steel
or angle iron bracing.
The best solution is to follow the instructions for your particular garage
door or contact the garage door manufacturer for proper reinforce-
ment instructions.

Warning
f the header bracket is not rigidly fastened to a sound
structural support on the header wall or ceiling, the
safety reverse system may not work and could cause
serious injury or death. DO NOT move or adjust springs
or garage door hardware, as these parts are under
extreme tension and could cause injury or death.
8. NSTALLAT ON STEPS
Identify a sound structural support on header wall above garage door for header bracket mounting (see Fig. 10). If appropriate header does not
exist, replace or install a new support using a 2x4 or 2x6 board. Fasten it securely using lag screws (not provided) to structural supports of garage.
8-1. MEASURE AND MARK DOOR AREA
Before starting your installation, the door and the header above the door
must be measured and marked. This way, the appropriate brackets can be
mounted at the correct locations avoiding installation and operating
difficulties later.
MARK VERT CAL CENTER L NE:
• Measure door width, then locate the center point (see Fig. 9).
• Mark a vertical line on the upper half of your door, on the top edge of your
door, and on the header, through the center point.
MEASURE DOOR’S H GHEST TRAVEL PO NT:
(Review Figs. on p. 5 for details)
• Open door to its highest travel point and measure from the garage floor
to the top of door.
• Write down this distance.
• Add 1-1/4” to the door travel height (measured above).
MARK HOR ZONTAL L NE FOR HEADER BRACKET LOCAT ON:
• Close door and measure the required distance (determined above) from
the garage floor to the header.
• Mark a horizontal line, intersecting the vertical center line, on header.
This is the position at which the bottom of the header bracket should
be installed.
• In case of minimal clearance above the door, the header bracket may be
mounted to the ceiling. In this case, extend the vertical center line onto
the ceiling, and mark a horizontalline on the ceiling no further than 4”
from the header wall. The header bracket should be mounted no farther
than this distance from the header wall.

8-9. CHECK EMERGENCY RELEASE
The emergency release cord with red knob, which is already attached to the
trolley, are extremely important parts of the operator system (see Fig. 21).
Pulling the release cord disengages the door from the opener. This allows
the door to be moved manually up and down independent of the opener motor.
f the door is in the open position, use extreme care when using
the release.
Use emergency release to disconnect the door if the power is out. It should
also be used if for some unforeseen reason the door strikes a person or
object during its travel and does not automatically reverse off the obstruction.
To release door - pull firmly down on red knob. (Fig. 21)
Prior to re-engaging door, ensure that all obstructions are removed and
door is operating properly manually. Before re-engaging trolley with a chain
or belt connector, pull down knob again, then release. The red catch will
stop in the “lock” position and will open indicator window (see Fig. 21A).
Now the door can be reconnected by moving it manually and bringing it
into position when the connector is inside of the trolley.
Use extreme care when pulling release knob. DO
NOT use knob to pull door open or closed. Except
for emergency situations, use knob only when door
is closed.

The control panel must be mounted inside the garage within sight of the
garage door, clear of all moving garage door parts or any associated parts
- and at least 5 feet above the floor to prevent the use of these controls by
children. The device should only be used when the door is in clear sight of
the user and the door area is free of people or any obstructions.
• Attach 2-conductor wire to the screw terminal on back of control panel
(see Fig. 25 (Back)). White wire attaches to terminal #3 screw, white
wire with color stripes attaches to terminal #4 screw.
• Position wall control panel onto wall in desired location.
• Mark hole location on wall.
• rill 1/16” pilot holes into wall.
• Insert and tighten screws to secure control panel to wall.
• Make sure wiring is routed out from behind control through one of the
cutouts to avoid pinching the wires.
If mounting to drywall instead of wood, drill 3/16” pilot holes and use
anchors provided.

• Run wires from wall control panel and photo eye system along wall and
ceiling to operator powerhead. Use the staples to secure wiring to wall,
joists and ceiling. o not pinch wiring. rive staples with only enough
force to hold wiring in place. Refer to Fig. 8 on p.7 for an example of
typical wiring routing, and Fig. 26 for terminal assignment.
NOTE: As an alternative for photo eye system, the wiring can be routed
along the top of the rail, or along the outside of the door track. Be sure the
wiring is routed away from all moving parts of the door and rail.
• Separate 2” of double wire from each photo eye sensor into two single
wires. Strip about 1/2” of insulation from the end of each of the four
single wires. Combine the white wires from each sensor and twist
stripped ends together tightly. o the same with color striped wires.
• Open the control panel by slightly pulling on the panel cover tabs.
• Feed wall control and photo eye system wires through wire guide from the
top of the chassis into terminal area of control panel.
• Firmly insert white wire combination into terminal hole #1 by pushing
directly into hole. Insert color striped wire combination into terminal #2.
NOTE: If wires are difficult to insert, a screwdriver may be used to depress
the terminal “tab” while inserting the wires. To remove wires, depress tab
again and pull wires out.
• Insert white single wire from wall control into terminal #3 and single color
striped wire into terminal #4.
NOTE: Multiple wall controls may be installed in parallel with wires
connected to terminals #3 and #4.
• etach right side panel from one of the wall controls (see Fig.25).
• Attach wiring to back of both wall controls (White wires to terminal #3
screws, wires with stripes to terminal #4 screws.)
• Follow the same steps as above to mount additional wall control panels
and wire connections.

• Use ONLY standard incandescent light bulb(s).
• DO NOT use a bulb with a rating higher than 60 Watts (W).
A stronger or larger bulb may result in fire or damage to the
opener.
To prevent possible radio frequency (RF) signal
interference:
• Do not use compact florescence lighting (CFL).

8-14. CONNECT TO POWER
To reduce the risk of electric shock, your opener is provided with an
insulated power cord with a 3-prong grounding plug. The cord must be
connected to a standard grounding outlet. If there is no outlet available at
the location, you must have a qualified electrician install an approved
grounded outlet in this area.

• Plug the operator into a properly grounded outlet (see Fig.28).
• An indicator lights (LE ’s #4 and #8) on the operator control panel will
turn on showing that the power is “On” and the opener is ready to set
the adjustments.
• O NOT operate or run the opener at this time.
PERMANENT W R NG CONNECT ON:
(If required by your local electrical code)
If local codes require your operator to be connected via permanent wiring
instead of a cord and plug, your operator must be converted, (see Fig. 29).
Contact a qualified electrician to run the necessary wiring to your
operator and to perform the electrical connections.
• Remove operator housing by removing the four screws, two screws
located at the front by the control panel area, and two screws located on
the back of the unit, then pulling the housing away from the chassis.
• Cut the power cord close to strain relief cover, so that after cut, there is
at least 6” of wiring remaining. Remove approx. 1 ½” of black insulation
left on the cable to expose the three conductor leads (white-neutral,
black-hot, and green-ground).
• Remove screw and unsnap the power cord strain relief cover by
disengaging the tabs, and remove this part (save for reattachment later).
• Remove the cut power cord and discard. Replace the strain relief cover
by snapping tabs back into place.
• Using a hammer and screwdriver or punch, knock out conduit hole, and
bring in the permanent wiring and conduit.
• Secure conduit to chassis (method varies depending on type of conduit used).
• Attach the incoming power leads (hot, neutral, and ground) to the
remaining internal wires using suitable wire nuts (not provided). Tight
wire leads together with a nylon cable tie to avoid the leads from coming
in contact with the relay circuit board, (see Fig. 35A).
• Reinstall operator housing and secure housing with screws. Make sure
that when reinstalling operator housing, no wires will be pinched between
the housing and the chassis.
• Complete the remaining installation.
• Turn on power at breaker.
Warning
To prevent electrocution, disconnect the operator from
power and turn off power at circuit breaker for the
circuit you will be using to connect to the opener.
Warning
To prevent electrocution or fire, installation and wiring
must be done in accordance with local electrical and
building codes. DO NOT use an extension cord. DO NOT
use a 3 to 2 plug adapter. DO NOT modify or cut off the
grounding pin on the plug.

8-15. CONTROL PANEL
On the control panel (see Fig. 30) you will find circular LE display with 8
numbered icons which shows useful status information regarding the
perator and its function and 3 buttons labeled “+”, “-” and “P” which allows
you to set all the adjustments of your operator.

Warning
n order to guarantee trouble-free programming, the
door must be in the CLOSED door position before
programming or system reset.
For proper initial operation of the operator, three basic functions must be
set using express programming:
• Open oor Position
• Close oor Position
• Transmitter Coding
Press and hold the “P” button for approximately 5 seconds. When LE ’s 8,
1 and 2 illuminate, release the button. You are now ready to set or change
the desired adjustment. If no buttons are pressed within 120 seconds while
in programming mode, the control unit reverts back to operating mode.
TO MAKE OR CHANGE ANY ADJUSTMENT:
HAN Y NOTE: If no changes are needed at any particular stage, you can
keep the current information and “skip” over a specific adjustment by
pressing the “P” button once. This is useful to know if you want to change
only one setting, without changing any of the other adjustments. Simply
enter the adjustment mode by pressing and holding the “P” button for
pproximately 5 seconds, then press and release “P” repeatedly until your
particular adjustment is reached. This bypasses the unneeded adjustments,
and takes you right to the adjustment you want. When your adjustment or
setting is complete, simply press ”P” as many times as needed to bypass
the remaining steps and exit out of the program, returning the operator to
normal mode.
Your new operator has automatic force learning and maximum force setting.
It may be required to change force settings. If the force needs to be
increased or decreased, it should be changed by one (1) increment at a
time. The force should be set as low as possible, just enough to allow your
unobstructed door to travel freely without reversing or stopping.
NOTE : You may exit the System Set p at any time by pressing the button
“P” for more then 5 sec. The set up programming can be terminated at any
time and from any stage. To do so, press the “P” button for longer than 5
seconds. When programming is terminated, all LED’s light up once and then
turn off, one after the other.
