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.

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.

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

This opener is designed for use with SECTIONAL doors only.
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.)
DO NOT USE ALTERNATE POWER SUPPLIES.
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 2.)
Is your sectional garage door made of
aluminum, light-weight steel, fiberglass repaired or adjusted bya trained door system
or glass panels? Additional support bracing technician: Door springs, cables, pulleys,
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.)
T° reduce the risk °f injury to pers°ns or @ (NOT SHOWN)If your garage does not have
aseparate entry door, you should consider
an emergency release kit (GER-2) for installation on
damage to property- Use this opener only your garage door. (See emergency release kit
with sectional doorsl installation notes on page 21.)

- Determine which side of garage receives most
direct sunlight (Fig. 4-4).
-Red LED should always be on sunny side
whenever possible (Fig. 4-4).

3b. Wiring (pre-wired).
Route wire from wall to Safe-T-Beam ®sensors
(Fig. 4-5b).
Splice pre-wiring to shortened sensor wire,
match wire pairs dash-to-dash and
plain-to-plain.
- 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.
Route wire from ceiling to power head Wire Nut
(Fig. 4-5b).
Securely fasten wires where they exit tl
wall and ceiling as you go.
-Use insulated staples.
-Staples should be snug only. Insulated
Staple
Cut or pinched wires can cause the Safe,T-Beam ®
System to stop working: When using the insulated
staples, make sure you fasten them only as tightly
as needed to hold the wire snugly.
4. Split and strip ends of sensor wires (Fig. 4-7).
5. Attach Safe-T-Beam ®wire to power head wire
terminal.
• Route Safe-T-Beam ®wires through wire guide.
-Insert wire into terminal holes and lightly press
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.

When the garage door is opening, its movement
will not be influenced if the Safe-T-Beam ®is
obstructed.
If the Safe-T-Beam ®is obstructed before the
garage door fully closes, the door will not close.
When the garage door is closing, if Safe-T-Beam ®
is cut off by people or obstacle, the garage door
will reverse automatically to its fully opened position.
(Meanwhile, the opener light will keep blinking until
door moves to its fully opened position.)
If the Safe-T-Beam ®System fails, loses power,
or is installed improperly, you will have to press
and hold the Wall Button "close" button until the
door reaches its fully closed position. The LED
indicator light on the power head will be green
and blink twice (Pattern: C-_ pause _ pause)
to inform you to eliminate problem first.
Otherwise, the door will reverse automatically to
its fully opened position if you release the
"close" button on the Wall Button during the
closing movement.
