For any electric garage door operator to perform safely, it must
be installed on a properly balanced garage door. The weight of
the garage door is counterbalanced by the garage door
spring(s). The springs must be correctly adjusted and the door
hardware must be lubricated and in good working order. Prior
to testing, disable lock assembly and remove all ropes.
Before installing the garage door operator, test the operation
of the garage door as follows:
☞
Raise the garage door about halfway up. Release your hold
on the door and see if the door balances. It shouldn’t go up
or down on its own.
☞
Slowly open the door all the way, then close it all the way.
Notice if there is any binding, sticking or rubbing caused by
the garage door hardware, track wheels or door frame. The
door should travel smoothly.
If the garage door is unbalanced or if the door travel isn’t
smooth, have a qualified garage door installation professional
adjust or repair the door.
WARNING!
The garage door operator must not be
installed and used on an unbalanced
door. The operator’s internal door
pressuresensorwillnot function properly
on an unbalanced door. Risk of serious
injury or death may result.
WARNING!
Garage door hardware (springs, cables,
brackets, pulleys, etc.) are under extreme
pressure and tension. DO NOT ATTEMPT
TO LOOSEN, TIGHTEN OR ADJUST ANY
DOOR HARDWARE UNLESS YOU ARE A
QUALIFIED GARAGE DOOR INSTALLATION

INSTALLATION STEP 5
Hanging the Operator
Installation requirements vary with garage construction.
Hanging brackets should be angled to provide rigid support.
Hanging material is not provided. Angle iron and lag screws
are recommended. Following are typical operator hanging
methods. Certain installations willrequireimprovisedmethods.
WARNING
Theoperatormustbefastenedsecurelyto
the garage structure. Always use lag
screws (not nails) when fastening the
hardware to the structure. If the operator
is not properly secured, it could fall,
causing personal injury or property
damage.
Center operator head and rail with center line mark on the
top of the door.
On finished ceilings,
an angle iron cross piece between
the two closest joists above the operator will be required.
Mark mounting hole locations, drill 3/16" pilot holes and
attach the piece with two 5/16" x 2" lag screws using a
7/16" socket.
Measure the distance from each of the operator hanging
tabs to the structural support or angle iron cross piece.
Cut two angle iron pieces to the required lengths for
hanging brackets. Bend brackets if required.
On unfinished ceilings,
hold each bracket in place and
use a pencil to mark the locations where they will be
attached to the joists, drill 3/16" pilot holes and attach the
pieces with two 5/16" x 2" lag screws using a 7/16" socket.
On finished ceilings with an angle iron cross piece, attach
the two hanging brackets to the cross piece with two
1/4-20 x 3/4" bolts and two 1/4-20 keps nuts (not
provided).
Attach operator to hanging brackets using two
1/4-20 x 3/4" carriage bolts and two 1/4-20 keps nuts.
Insert bolts from the inside of hanger brackets with the
nuts on the outside of the operator.
☞
NOTE: For best balance, mount the hanging brackets to the
operator mountingslots closesttothe front(lampend)of the

INSTALLATION STEP 7
Installing the Lens Cover and Light Bulb
The plastic lens cover protects the light bulb and diffuses the
light from the bulb.
Press tab to release lens (it may be slightly difficult the
first time it is opened). The lens is hinged on one side so it
will not come off completely.
Install a 75 watt maximum rough service in the lamp
socket.
Swing the lens closed, snapping it shut.
INSTALLATION STEP 8
Attaching the Trolley Release Handle
The trolley release handle is used to disengage the operator
from the garage door. It can be used during power failures to
allow manual operation of the door.
Thread one end of the red rope supplied through the hole
in the red plastic trolley release handle. Tie an overhand
knot in the rope so it won’t slip through the hole.
Thread the other end of the red rope through the hole in
the trolley release lever. Adjust the length so that the
handle is at least 6’ above the floor. Tie an overhand knot
in the rope so it won’t slip through the hole.
Cut off excess rope. Seal the cut with a match or lighter to
prevent unraveling of the rope.
☞
NOTE: Both knots should be about 1" from the ends of the
rope to prevent slippage.
WARNING
Remove all pull ropes from the door. Do
not use the trolley release handle to pull
the door up or down. Use the trolley
release only to disengage the door and, if
possible, only when the door is in the
downposition.Anunbalanced door could
fall if the trolley release is pulled when the
door is up.

INSTALLATION STEP 9
Installing the DoorSentry® Infrared Safety Beam
The DoorSentry consists of two units, an infrared emitter and
an infrared detector. The emitter constantly sends a narrow
infrared beam to the detector. If the door is moving down, and
an obstacle interrupts the beam, the DoorSentry will stop the
door and reverse it causing the door to go up.
If the door is up and there is an obstacle interrupting the
beam, or the DoorSentry is not aligned, the radio
transmitter will not function. The operator will only run the
door down if constant pressure is applied to the wall station
pushbutton.
WARNING
Without a properly installed and adjusted
DoorSentry object sensor, persons
(particularly children) could be killed by a
closing garage door. Read and follow all
instructions carefully.
☞
NOTE: The “DoorSentry” must be installed so the path of
the light beam is not obstructed by the garage door, door
tracks, springs, hinges, rollers or any other part of the door
mechanism. It may be necessary to add a piece of wood to
the wall at mounting locations to insure proper clearance or
for installation on masonry wall construction.
WARNING
Install the DoorSentry no higher than
5" to 6" from the floor to the center of the
emitter and detector to protect small
children.
☞
NOTE: The detector must be installed on the “shade” side
of the garage door, where sun will not shine directly into the
detector lens.
Assemble the two DoorSentry brackets from the four
L-shaped brackets using two 1/4-20 x 1/2" carriage bolts
and 1/4-20 keps nuts. Finger tighten hardware only until
later adjustment.
Position detector and emitter on their brackets and secure
them with the 1/4-20 keps nuts.
Position the units at the same height (approximately 5" to
6" above the floor). The clear emitter infrared light must
point towards the clear detector lens. Use a pencil to
mark the locations for the lag screws for wall or floor
mounting.
Drill 3/16" x 1" pilot hole for lag screw at mark. Mount the
brackets with 1/4" x 1" lag screws (or proper concrete
fasteners when floor mounting), tighten with a 7/16"
socket.

Connecting Operator to Power Source
WARNING
To prevent electrocution or fire,
installation and wiring must be in
compliance with local electrical and
building codes.
Cord and Outlet Connection
The operator should be connected to a grounded receptacle
on the ceiling or near the operator head. If none is available
which will accept the grounded operator plug, one should be
installedbyaqualifiedelectrician.Donotuseanextensioncord.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this
operator has a grounding type plug, with
a third grounding pin. This plug will only
fit into a grounding type outlet. If the plug
doesn’t fit into the outlet, contact a
qualified electrician to install the proper
outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.
Plug operator into grounded receptacle.
When operator is plugged in, a click should sound in the
operator and the light should turn on. If light does not turn
on, check the power source and light bulb.
Permanent Wiring
SOME LOCAL ELECTRICAL CODES REQUIRE
PERMANENT WIRING TO THE POWER SOURCE
THROUGH CONDUIT. IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT YOU
HAVE A LICENSED ELECTRICAL CONTRACTOR
FOLLOW THESE STEPS ONLY IF PERMANENT WIRING IS
REQUIRED.
Be sure power cord is disconnected.
Cut the power cord about 1" from the strain relief bushing
on the operator.
Remove the four side screws and bottom cover of
operator.
Use pliers to remove the strain relief bushing. Discard
bushing.
Remove the outer insulation from the power cord and
strip the white, black and green wire insulation back about
1/4".
Pull white (neutral), black (hot) and green (ground) wires
through conduit.
Connect the conduit to the operator with the appropriate
termination.
Use wire nuts (not supplied) to connect the wires to the
matching color wires inside operator head.
☞
NOTE: Be sure the wires inside of the operator are clear of
the gears and all moving parts.
Replace the operator cover and four side screws.
Connect conduit wires to power source at junction box.
When power is applied to the operator, a click should
sound and the light should turn on. If light does not turn
on, check the power source, wiring and light bulb.
