PRE-INSTALLATION CHECK LIST FOR HELP-1.800.929.3667 OR OVERHEADDOOR.COM
Things to consider if you are planning to “do-it-yourself.”
In many cases you will be replacing an existing door operator with a new one. However, if
this will be the first operator installed there are some pre-installation issues which need to
be addressed. They are as follows:
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 possible that ceiling joists simply may not
be in the exact position needed with respect to
the garage door operator. In any case it may
be necessary to add an additional 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. You may need to attach a board to the
wall frame in this area.
3Check 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 STB brackets.The
brackets may also be attached to concrete if
necessary but extra tools and special fasteners
(not supplied) will be required.
NOTE: 1-1/2" STB Adapters are available
through your local Genie 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.”
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 3 feet from
the power head once it is mounted.
6To avoid damage to your door and/or
operator, make sure you disable any door
locks prior to installing your operator.
7Ensure that your door is properly balanced
and moving freely. SEE WARNING BELOW.
(This Operator is equipped with an Automatic
Garage Door Balance Detection System. See page
28, Troubleshooting section.)
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.

WHAT TYPE OF DOOR DO YOU HAVE?
Look at the photos on the right. Door type determines
which of the remaining installation steps apply to you.
NOTE: Will Not Operate twice as fast on a one-piece
door.
1. Determine type of garage door (Fig. 1-17).
Type One
Track-guided doors –May be sectional or
one-piece (rare) with wheels attached which
ride within a metal “track.”
Type Two
Trackless –One piece doors only, normally
uses a system of very heavy framework for
bracing, and has no “track” but swings on
large spring loaded hinges or pivots at
either side of the door.
FOR TRACK GUIDED DOORS
2. Find center of door and header* (Fig. 1-18).
• Close door.
• Measure door width.
–Mark a vertical line (“C”) in the center on
inside of door and header.
3. Find header bracket position.
• Raise door, watching top edge of door.
• Stop door when edge reaches highest point
of travel.
• Measure distance from top edge of door to
floor (distance “H”) (Fig.1-19).
–add 2-1/2 inches to “H” (Fig. 20).
• Draw horizontal line across line “C” at
this height on header.
NOTE: If spring is in the way, place header
bracket above spring. Do Not Move Door Spring.
* The header is a heavily reinforced section of the
wall just above the top of the garage door
opening. Usually consisting of an engineered
lumber beam or layers of 2" x 12" lumber and
particle board sandwiched together.

®
SYSTEM INSTALLATION FOR HELP-1.800.929.3667 OR OVERHEADDOOR.COM
NOTE: Operator will not close 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. 2-1).
•Hold bracket against door frame or wall.

brick walls or concrete floor using masonry
anchors (not provided).
2. Mounting “STB” source and sensor.
• If garage has only one garage door.
–Determine which side of garage receives
most direct sunlight (Fig. 2-4), and place Red
LED here whenever possible (Fig. 2-4).
•For multiple doors.
–Preventing crossed signals is critical.
–Placesource andsensormodulesonadjacent
doors facing in opposite directions (Fig. 2-4).
NOTE: To helpprevent interferencefrom sun, “STB”
sensors (Green LED) may be placed further from thedoor
opening where they will spend more time in shadows.
• Slide source/sensor onto tongue of bracket until
it clicks into place (Fig. 2-3).
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.

3. Wiring (cont’).
•Securely fasten wires to wall as you go.
–Use insulated staples (included).
–Staples should be snug only.
• Make wire attachments at “STBs.”
–Split and strip wire ends to be connected
as shown (Fig. 2-6).
–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. 2-7).
• Make wire attachments at power head.
–“STBs” are connected to terminals #2 and #3
on power head (Fig. 2-8). It does not matter
which wire, white or striped, goes on
which terminal.
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. 2-9). The brackets are
flexible, and can be adjusted slightly if needed.
NOTE: “STB” alignment check will be
performed following connection to electrical
power (see page 20). DO NOT PLUG IN YET!
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 staples, make sure
you fasten them only as tightly as needed to hold the

WALL CONTROL INSTALLATION FOR HELP-1.800.929.3667 OR OVERHEADDOOR.COM
1. Finding the mounting location.
•Pick a convenient location for mounting
wall control.
–Location you choose should be in direct sight
of door.
–It should be at least 5' above floor to prevent
small children from operating door.
–It must be away from any moving parts. (You
should not be able to reach the door while
standing at wall control.)
2. Wiring.
•Run wire from power head to wall control.
•Securely fasten to ceiling using insulated
staples provided.
•Split and strip ends of wire (Fig. 2-6).
•On power head:
–Attach the striped wire to terminal #1 and
white wire to terminal #2 (Fig. 3-1).
•On back of wall control:
–Attach striped wire to terminal “B”, and
white wire to terminal “W.” (Fig. 3-2).
3. Mounting.
•Fasten wall control to wall with 2 screws
(wall button use 58) (console use 41)
(Fig. 3-3).
•Remove protective backing from “entrapment”
warning label (Fig. 3-4).
–Stick label on wall near wall control.
NOTE: Additional wall controls are available from
your dealer. ONLY ONE OF YOUR WALL
CONTROLS MAY BE THE LIGHTED TYPE. If you
have a lighted wall control, all your additional
controls must be unlighted. More than one lighted
wall control per operator will cause a malfunction.
Verify there is no power to the operator before
installing wall control wires.
WARNING
Use of any wall control other than the type
supplied will prevent the light from working and
could cause the door to operate on its own.
Cut or pinched wires can cause the wall control to
stop working. When using the insulated staples,
make sure you only pound them in as far as
needed to hold the wire snugly.

1. Check local building codes.
• Does building code require permanent wiring?
– If not, skip to step 9.
–
If yes, have an electrician perform steps 2
through 8.
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this
equipment has a grounding type plug that has a
third (grounding) pin. This plug will only fit into a
grounding type outlet. If the plug does not fit into
the outlet, contact a qualified electrician to install
the proper outlet. DO NOT change the plug in
any way. The door operator must be properly
grounded to prevent personal injury and damage
to the components.
The electrical power to the door operator MUST
BE removed when motor cover is removed.
Electrical power must remain off while making
electrical connections.
