Things to consider if you are planning to “do-it-yourself.”
Whether you are replacing an existing garage door operator or installing an operator in your garage for
the first time, there are some pre-installation issues which need to be addressed.They are as follows:
The Overhead Door Corporation recommends that you read and fully understand all infor-
mation and instructions contained herein before choosing a “Do-It-Yourself ”installation.
Any questions should be directed to the Overhead Door Corporation or an authorized Overhead
Door Dealer.
6To avoid damage to your door and/or
operator, make sure you disable any door locks
prior to installing your operator.

PRE-INSTALLATION CHECK LIST FOR HELP—1-800-929.3667 OR OVERHEADDOOR.COM
1Check your ceiling where the power
head of your new unit will be mounted. Plan
how you will be mounting the power head. It is pos-
sible that ceiling joists may not be in the exact posi-
tion needed with respect to the garage door opera-
tor. In any case, it may be necessary to add an addi-
tional bracket and
fasteners (not included with your
new door operator kit).
2Check the wall directly above the garage
door.The door operator’s header bracket must
be securely fastened to this wall. Insure that the
structure will provide a strong mounting location.
3Check to see if the mounting location
for the Safe-T-Beam®System (STB)is clear
from obstruction and has a wood sur-
face available for attaching the STB brackets.The
brackets may also be attached to concrete if neces-
sary but extra tools and special fasteners (not sup-
plied) will be required.
NOTE: 1-1/2" “STB”
bracket adapters are available through your local
Overhead Door Dealer.
4Is your garage door made of
light-weight steel, aluminum, fiberglass or
glass panels?Additional support bracing must be
added to these type doors. If this is the case, please
contact the door distributor or manufacturer so
that they can furnish you with a “bracing kit.”
7Insure that your door is properly balanced
and moving freely. SEE WARNING BELOW.
If your door sticks, binds, or is out of
balance, have it adjusted by a professional. Door
springs, cables, pulleys, brackets and associated
hardware are under extreme tension and
can cause serious injury or death.
WARNING
(The issue numbers below refer to the circled numbers in the illustrations on page 3.)
8(NOT SHOWN) If your garage does not have
a separate entry door, you might want to consider
an emergency release kit (GER-2)for installation on
your garage door. See page 30.
DO NOT USE EXTENSION CORD! Extension
cords can cause dangerous overheating con-
ditions.
DO NOT USE PORTABLE GENERATOR! This
product is designed to operate on standard
house current. Do not use alternate power
supplies.
WARNING
5You need a 110-120 Volt power supply
available.If you plan to plug the unit into a
standard electrical outlet, is one available? The outlet
should be no more than about 3 feet from the power
head once it is mounted. (The cord is 4 ft. in length.) SEE
WARNING BELOW.

2. Mounting STB source and sensor.
•If garage has only one garage door.
–Determine which side of garage receives
most direct sunlight (Fig. 3-4).
–Red LED should always be on sunny side
whenever possible (Fig. 3-4).
•For multiple doors.
–Preventing crossed signals is critical.
–Place source and sensor modules on
adjacent doors facing in opposite directions
(Fig. 3-4).
NOTE:To helppreventinterferencefrom sun,STB sensors
(green LED) may be placed further away from the door
opening where they will spend more time in shadows.
•Slide source/sensor onto tongue of bracket
until it clicks into place (Fig. 3-3).
3. Wiring.
•Route wire using either method shown(Fig.3-5).
•Securely fasten wires to wall as you go.
–Use insulated staples (included).
–Staples should be snug only.
WARNING
NOTE: The operator will not close the door
automatically unless the Safe-T-Beam®System is
installed.
1. Mounting brackets.
•Mark both sides of garage door frame or wall 5”
above floor (Fig. 3-1).
•Hold bracket against door frame or wall.
–Check if brackets extend out from wall far
enough, so tongue of bracket is beyond door,
tracks or any door hardware.
–If not:
a. STB bracket extensions are available at
local dealer.
b. Blocks of wood, etc. may be substituted
for extensions.
•Center bracket on your mark (Fig. 3-2).
•Fasten each with 2 screws [127].
There should be no electrical power to the
operator while installing Safe-T-Beam®System
wires. If you have plugged in the power cord
—UNPLUG IT NOW.

•Make wire attachments at power head.
–For ProMax. STB’s are connected to terminals
#2 and #3 on power head (Fig. 3-8).
–For Stealth. STB’s are connected to

4. Check the following.
•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. 3-9). The brackets are
flexible and can be adjusted slightly if needed.
Staples which are too tight can cut or pinch wires. Cut
or pinched wires can cause the STB System to stop
working. When using the insulated sta-
ples, make sure you fasten them only as tightly as
needed to hold the wire snugly.

Safe-T-Beam®Alignment Check
After turning the electrical power on, if the
STB’s are not in proper alignment, the red
LED (Source) will blink continuously.
To correct the problem – the brackets are
flexible and can be adjusted slightly to bring
the system into alignment.
When the STB’s are in alignment the red LED
will stop blinking and stay on.
•Make wire attachments at STB’s.
–Splitting and stripping wire ends to be
connected as shown (Fig. 3-6).
–Loosen terminal screws.
–Insert wire under flat plate and tighten screw. It
does not matter which wire, white or striped,
goes on which terminal (Fig. 3-7).
•Make wire attachments at power head.
–For ProMax. STB’s are connected to terminals
#2 and #3 on power head (Fig. 3-8).
–For Stealth. STB’s are connected to
terminals #3 and #4 on power head (Fig. 3-8).
4. Check the following.
•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. 3-9).The brackets are
flexible and can be adjusted slightly if needed.
NOTE: STB alignment check must be performed
following connection to electrical power (see page 21).

1. Run wire from power head to wall control.
•Place the wall control:
–In sight of door.
–At least 5 feet from floor, so small children can
not reach it.
–Away from moving parts of door and
door hardware.
•Use staples to fasten wire to ceiling and wall.
2. Remove 1/2”insulation from each wire
(Fig. 3-6)(pg. 19).
3. Attach wires to terminals (Stealth Fig. 4-1a)
(MAX Fig. 4-1b).
•Loosen, but Do Not remove screw from terminal.
For Stealth.
–Connect striped wires to terminal “2”on power
head and “B”on wall control.
–Connect white wire to terminal “1”on power
head and “W”on wall control.
For MAX.
–Connect striped wires to terminal “1”on power
head and “B”on wall control.
–Connect white wire to terminal “2”on power
head and “W”on wall control.
4. Mount wall control (Fig. 4-2).
•For wall button and wall console, use two pan
head screws.
5. Mount entrapment warning label.
•Remove protective backing and stick near
wall control.
•Use tacks or staples to permanently mount Label.
• Make sure everyone reads and followsWARNINGS.
Power cord must be unplugged before attaching
wires. Be sure wire ends do not touch each other or
other terminals.
•Use of any other wall control will cause the
light not to work and could cause door to
operate by surprise.
•Cut or pinched wires can cause door operator
to malfunction. Drive staples just tight enough
to hold wire.
