INTELLICODE ®Rolling Code Security System.
An electronic rolling code system that enhances the security of
the door opener by continuously changing the access code
each time the remote control is used. The door opener
responds to each new code only once. An access code copied
from a working system and tried again will not control the door
opener.
Lighted Wall Control*
Operates door opener from inside garage.
(Refer to section 3)
and Car2U ®compatible.
Follow the Homelink ®or Car2U ®instructions in your car
owner's manual.
Safe-T-Beam ®Non-Contact Reversing System**.
Puts an invisible beam across the door opening. The door stops
and reverses to the full open position if anything passes
through the beam. Red or green LED indicator lights on the
power head provide a self diagnostic code if an operational
problem exits. (Refer to Section 10.)
Safe-T-Reverse ®Contact Reversing System.
Automatically stops and reverses a closing door within 2
seconds of contact with an object. (Refer to Section 6.)
Safe-T-Stop ®Timed Reversed System.
Automatically opens a closing door if it fails to close completely
within 30 seconds.
ForceGuard TM Control.
Features adjustable open and close force settings. For
maximum safety, these must be set to the minimum force
required to fully open and close the door. (Refer to Section 6.)
Relay Monitoring System.
Automatically stops and reverses a closing door if the closing
relay malfunctions.
Watch Dog TM Monitoring System.
Automatically stops and reverses a closing door if the
Safe-T-Beam®System notes an operational problem.
Automatic Lighting System.
Twin bulb lighting supplies up to 120 watts of light for safer
evening exits and entries. Turns ON when door is activated and
automatically turns OFF 3 minutes later.
Manual Emergency Release.
Manually releases door from door opener. Use during a power
failure or other emergency to allow manual opening and closing
of door. (Refer to Section 6.)

Check your ceiling where the power
head of your new unit will be mounted.
Plan how you will be mounting the power head.
It is possible that ceiling joists may not be in the
position needed with respect to the garage door
opener. It may be necessary to add an
additional bracket and fasteners (not included
with your new door opener kit).
(Refer to Section 2.)
You need a properly grounded 110-120 Volt
power supply available. The outlet should be
no more than 3 feet from the power head once it is
mounted. (Refer to Section 5.)
Check the wall directly above the garage
door. The door opener's header bracket
must be securely fastened to this wall. Insure
that the structure will provide a strong mounting
location. (Refer to Section 2.)
Check to see if the mounting location
for the Safe-T-Beam ®System is clear from
obstruction and has a wood surface available
for attaching the mounting brackets. The
brackets may be attached to concrete if necessary
but extra tools and special fasteners (not supplied)
will be required. (Refer to Section 4 and 5.)
_?_h':_ cede spec[fics_e _s
To avoid damage to your door and/or
opener, make sure you disable and/or
remove any door locks, ropes, and/or cables
(NOT door lift cables) prior to installing your
opener. (Refer to Section 1.)
insure that your door is properly balanced
and moving freely. (Refer to Section 10.)
is your sectional garage door made of
aluminum, light-weight steel, fiberglass
or glass panels? Additional support bracing
must be added to these type doors. If this is the
case, please contact the door manufacturer or
authorized dealer so that they can furnish you
with a "bracing kit." (Refer to Section 2.)
(NOT SHOWN) If your garage does not have
a separate entry door, you should consider
an emergency release kit (GER-2) for installation on
your garage door.

doors facing in opposite directions (Fig. 4-4).
. Slide source/sensor onto tongue of bracket until
it clicks into place (Fig. 4-3).
3a. Wiring (If NOT pre-wired).
, Route wire from Safe-T-Beam ®sensors to power

Splice pre-wiring to shortened sensor wire,
match wire pairs dash-to-dash (striped-to-
striped) and plain-to-plain (white-to-white).
- Trim sensor wire to approximately one foot
(1 ft) from sensor.
- Split and strip ends of sensor wires and
pre-wired wires (Fig. 4-7).
- Splice wires together with (provided)
wire nuts.

in the orange locking clips above each terminal
hole. (You can use a pencil or small
screwdriver to comfortably reach in and lightly
press down locking clips.) Insert white wires to
'even' numbered terminal holes and striped
wires into 'odd' terminal holes (Fig. 4-8).

Check Safe-T-Beam ®alignment (Fig. 5-4).
,insure that no part of door or its hardware is
in path between lenses of source and sensor.
,insure that tops of lenses are between 5" - 6"
above the floor (Fig. 5-4). The brackets are
flexible, and can be adjusted slightly if needed.
,Adjust the Red LED transmitter by aiming the
unit directly at the Green LED receiver. Use the
adjustment screw located on the top of the
transmitter housing to make adjustments.
,The Red LED transmitter will blink if there is a
misalignment. When the LED units are aligned
the Red LED will remain ON continuously.
,After the alignment is finished tighten the
adjustment screws on both sensors.
,Do NOT use an extension cord.
,Do NOT use a portable generator. This product
is designed to operate using standard
household current.
,Do NOT use alternatepowe_supplies.
1. When the garage door is opening, its movement
will not be influenced if the Safe-T-Beam ®is
obstructed.
.
