2 Remote Controls
This opener is supplied with a three-button remote control (the second and third buttons can be used to control an
additional opener or gate). Additional single and multi-button remote controls can be purchased. The short wire on
the back of the opener serves as an antenna for the remote controls. Do not cut off the wire or the remote controls
will not operate well.
To Add or Remove a Remote Control
1 Press the opener’s LEARN button. The opener’s light
and red light will ash once and turn on for about 15
seconds. A remote must be added or removed
while the red light is still on.
2 Send a signal from a remote. The opener’s light and the
red light will ash once if a remote was added, or the
opener’s light and the red light will ash four times if a
remote was removed.
3 Repeat Steps 1 & 2 for any additional remote controls.
To Remove all Remote Controls
1 Press and hold the opener’s LEARN button for ten
seconds or more.
2 Release the LEARN button. The red light and opener’s
light will blink three times signaling that all of the
remotes in the opener’s memory were erased. The
red light will turn off, then turn on for 15 seconds. A
remote control can be entered during this time using
Step 2 above.

2 Replace old battery with a Type CR032 battery.
3 Re-assemble the remote.
3 Garage Door Opener Maintenance
Weather conditions may affect the door operation which
could require some re-setting of the opener’s adjustments.
Doors may swell and become heavier during wet periods,
door hinges and rollers might bind during cold periods. To
insure safe operation of the door, perform the following
tests, including any additional test steps described.
Every Month
1 With the door closed, pull the red release handle to
disconnect the opener from the door.
2 From outside the garage, slowly open the door manually
all the way, and then close it all the way. Notice if there
is any binding, sticking or rubbing. The door should
move smoothly in both directions.
3 Raise the garage door about halfway up. Carefully
release the door and see if the door balances. It should
stay in place. Close the door.
� NOTE: If the garage door is unbalanced or the door
travel isn’t smooth, have a qualied garage door
professional adjust or repair the door.
4 To reconnect the opener, ip the release lever up and
run the opener.
5 Perform the Safety Beam Test (Section 4).
6 Perform the Safety Reversal System Test as described
in Section 8.
After Servicing the Opener
1 Perform the Safety Beam Test (Section 4).
2 Perform the Open and Close Limit Adjustments
(Section 5).
3 Perform the Safety Reversal System Test (Section 8).
Every 6 Months
Check the belt or chain tension.
• For belt-drive rails, examine the length of the tension
spring in the traveler. It should be about 1” long.
• For chain-drive rails, examine the spacing between
the turnbuckle and the rail. The turnbuckle should be
slightly above the rail.
� NOTE: Too much or too little chain tension will cause
excessive sprocket noise.
Chain Adjustment
If necessary, use the following steps to adjust the chain.
1 Hold the turnbuckle with a at blade screwdriver and
loosen the two locknuts with a 7/16” end wrench.
2 Twist the turnbuckle to adjust the chain tension. Adjust
the chain until the turnbuckle is sightly above the rail.
3 Hold the turnbuckle with a at blade screwdriver and
tighten the two locknuts with a 7/16” end wrench.
Belt Adjustment
The tension spring in the traveler keeps the belt taut. The
factory setting for the tension spring length is .9” long. If
the tension spring is longer than 1”, adjust the belt.
1 Hold the traveler so the adjustment wheel is visible
through the large slot.
2 Use a at blade screwdriver to turn the adjustment
wheel to compress the tension spring until its length is
between .9” and 1” long.
Every Year
Check the door hardware for lubrication needs. Lubricate
door hinges, rollers and bearings according to door
manufacturer’s recommended procedures.

7 Automatic Door Force Setup
The opener automatically measures the door force throughout the entire travel of the door each time the opener
cycles. The opener will automatically adjust to changing door hardware conditions over time due to weather and wear.
Your installer has used these steps during setup of the opener. You can also perform these steps at any time.
Automatic Door Force Setup
1 Be sure that the trolley latch is up and the door is
connected to the opener.
2 Operate the door through four complete open and close
cycles.
8 Safety Reversal System Test
The opener determines that there is an obstruction if a higher than expected amount of force is detected during a
door cycle. If an obstruction is encountered during a closing cycle, the opener and door will stop then fully open. If an
obstruction is encountered during an opening cycle, the opener and door will stop.
Safety Reversal System Test
1 Lay a 2 x 4 board at on the oor where it will be struck
by the center of the door as it closes.
2 Verify that the door reverses when it strikes the board.
The door must reverse within two seconds after striking
the board.
9 Adjusting the Force Factor (Installation Option, Normally Not Used)
The opener uses the peak force measured during each of the last four complete cycles plus a “force factor” to
calculate the maximum allowed force setting for the current door cycle. If the calculated maximum force setting is
exceeded during the current door cycle, the opener reacts to the obstruction. As door hardware conditions change
over time with weather and wear, the calculation of the maximum door force setting using the four cycle running
average will compensate for the current conditions of the installation.
10 Field Reset
In installations where the door spring, door, or hardware is being replaced, and the opener was already programmed
for the old door, reset the opener using the following steps.

4 Testing the Infrared Safety Beam
The safety beam has two components, a sender and a receiver. The sender produces a narrow infrared beam that
travels across the bottom of the door opening to the infrared receiver. If an object blocks the infrared beam while the
door is closing, the door will stop, then reverse and fully open (the opener’s light will ash three times).
As a safety feature, the opener will ignore signals from all remote controls if the door is open and the
infrared safety beam is blocked or out of alignment. In this case, the door can be forced closed by
pressing and holding the wall station’s up/down arrow pushbutton (be sure the door area is in clear
view).
Safety Beam Test
1 Check that the opener has power. The green lights on
the sender and receiver should be lit.
2 If the receiver’s green light is on, but the red light is off,
the receiver has power but is not detecting the infrared
beam from the sender. The red light might ash when
the beam is partially detected. This can be caused by
mis-alignment or something blocking the beam. Adjust
the safety beam sender and receiver while watching the
receiver’s red light (stay out of the beam while aligning
it). When the red light stays on, rotate the sender towards
the ceiling and stop when the red light on the receiver
begins to icker. Rotate the sender back towards a
horizontal position with the oor and stop as soon as the
red light on the receiver lights solid. The beam is now
properly aligned.

� NOTE: If the receiver’s red light remains off, check
for: 1) Dirt on the receiver’s lens, 2) Sunlight shining
into the receiver’s lens, 3) A short in the safety beam
wiring (from staples or at the opener terminals).
3With the door closed and the opener disengaged
from the door, press the wall station’s UP/DOWN
ARROW button to move the traveler (the part on the belt
or chain that the trolley engages with) to the up position
(away from the door). NOTE: Do not cycle the opener
to full travel without the door connected.
4 Push the wall station’s UP/DOWN ARROW button again.
While the traveler is moving to the down position (toward
the door), block the safety beam. THE TRAVELER MUST
STOP, THEN REVERSE TO THE UP POSITION. The
opener’s light and red light should ash three times.
5 Place an object in the path of the safety beam. Check
that constant pressure is required on the wall station’s
UP/DOWN ARROW button to cause the traveler to move
toward the down position. Release the pushbutton
before the opener stops; check that the traveler returns
to the up position.
� NOTE: The garage door opener will not respond to a
CLOSE command from a remote control if the safety
beam is blocked.
6 To reconnect the opener, ip the release lever up. Raise
the door manually until the opener reconnects.
� NOTE: If the door remains idle for 5 minutes, the
beam light will turn off to save power. The beam
power turns on for 5 minutes when door moves down
to the fully closed position. The beam power can be
restored for 5 minutes by pressing the light button.
5 Adjusting the Open and Close Limits
The limit settings control how far the door will open or close. The limits should be set so the door opens just short of
any door stops, and closes at the oor level.
If required, use the following steps to adjust the limits. After beginning to adjust the limits, if no buttons are pressed
for one minute, the opener will return to normal operation.
Adjusting the Open Limit
1 Use the wall station or a remote control to move the
door to the open limit position.
2 On the back of the opener, press both the UP and
LEARN buttons for three seconds. The green indicator
and opener’s light will ash twice then stay on.
3 Use the UP and DOWN buttons to jog the door at slow
speed to ne-tune the open limit position.
4 When the door is at the proper open limit position, press
the LEARN button to store the setting and exit setup.
The green indicator and the opener’s light will ash two
times.
Adjusting the Close Limit
1 Use the wall station or a remote control to move the
door to the close limit position.
2 On the back of the opener, press both the DOWN and
LEARN buttons for three seconds. The red indicator and
opener’s light will ash twice then stay on
3 Use the UP and DOWN buttons to jog the door at slow
speed to ne-tune the close limit position.
4 When the door is at the proper close limit position, press
the LEARN button to store the setting and exit setup.
The red indicator and the opener’s light will ash two
times.
� NOTE: If the opener is eld reset per Section 10,
both the open and close limits must be adjusted and
the automatic door force setup must be completed
for proper operation.
6 Replacing the Opener’s Lamp
If the opener’s safety lamp fails to light manually or when the opener is cycled, the light bulb needs replacing. Use the
following steps to replace the light bulb.
1 Remove the light cover to expose the light bulb and
lamp socket.
2 Replace the light bulb with a 100 watt maximum rough
service bulb (sometimes called a garage door bulb).
3 Reattach the light cover.
4 Press the wall station’s lamp button to test the lamp.
CAUTION
Set the open and close limits carefully. Setting
the limits beyond the distance that the door
can travel could cause damage to the door, the
door hardware, or opener.
