Installation
1 Determine the Header Bracket Location
To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH:
lHeader bracket MUST be RIGIDLY fastened to structural support on header wall or ceiling,
otherwise garage door might NOT reverse when required. DO NOT install header bracket
over drywall.
lConcrete anchors MUST be used ifmounting header bracket or 2x4 into masonry.
lNEVER try to loosen, move or adjust garage door, springs,cables,pulleys,brackets, or their
hardware, ALL of which are under EXTREME tension.
lALWAYS call a trained door systemstechnician if garage door binds, sticks,or is out of
balance. An unbalanced garage door mightNOT reverse when required.
lDO NOT enable the Timer-to-Close functionality if operating either one-piece or swinging
garage doors.To be enabled ONLY when operating a sectional door.
Close the door and mark the inside vertical centerline ofthe garage door.
Extend the line onto the header wall above the door. You can fasten the header bracketwithin 4 feet
(1.22 m) of the leftor right ofthe door center onlyif a torsion spring or center bearing plate isin the way;
or you can attach it to the ceiling when clearance is minimal.(Itmaybe mounted on the wall upside down
if necessary, to gain approximately 1/2" (1 cm). If you need to install the header bracket on a 2x4 (on wall
or ceiling),use lag screws(not provided) to securely fasten the 2x4 to structural supports.
Open your door to the highestpointof travel asshown. Draw an intersecting horizontal line on the
header wall 2" (5 cm) above the high point. This height will provide travel clearance for the top edge of
the door.
NOTE: If the total number of inches exceeds the height available in your garage, use the maximum
height possible, or refer to page 10 for ceiling installation.

8 Install the Door Bracket
Fiberglass, aluminum or lightweight steel garage doors WILL REQUIRE reinforcement BEFORE
installation of door bracket. Contact the garage door manufacturer or installing dealer for opener
reinforcement instructions or reinforcement kit. Failure to reinforce the top section as required
according to the door manufacturer may void the door warranty.
A horizontal and vertical reinforcement is needed for
lightweight garage doors (fiberglass, aluminum, steel,
doors with glass panel, etc.) (not provided). A horizontal
reinforcement brace should be long enough to be secured
to two or three vertical supports. A vertical reinforcement
brace should cover the height ofthe top panel. Contactthe
garage door manufacturer or installing dealer for opener
reinforcement instructions or reinforcement kit.
NOTE: Many door reinforcement kits provide for direct attachment of the clevis pin and door arm. In this
case you will not need the door bracket; proceed to the next step.
SECTIONALDOORS
1. Center the door bracketon the previouslymarked vertical centerline used for the header
bracket installation. Note correct UP placement, as stamped inside the bracket.
2. Position the top edge of the bracket 2"-4" (5-10 cm) below the top edge ofthe door, OR
directlybelow anystructural supportacross the top ofthe door.
3. Mark, drill holes and install as follows, depending on your door’s construction:
Metal or light weight doors using a vertical angle iron brace between the door panel support and the
door bracket:
lDrill 3/16" fastening holes. Secure the door bracket using the two self threading screws.
(Figure1)
lAlternately, use two 5/16" bolts, lock washers and nuts (not provided). (Figure2)
Metal, insulated or light weight factory reinforced doors:
lDrill 3/16" fastening holes. Secure the door bracket using the self-threading screws. (Figure3)
Wood Doors:
lUse top and bottom or side to side door bracket holes.Drill 5/16” holesthrough the door and
secure bracketwith 5/16"-18x2" carriage bolts,lockwashers and nuts(notprovided).
(Figure4)
NOTE: The 1/4"-14x5/8" self-threading screws are not intended for use on wood doors.

sensor.
To prevent SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from closing garage door:
lCorrectly connect and align the safety reversing sensor. This required safety device MUST
NOT be disabled.
lInstall the safety reversing sensor so beam is NO HIGHER than 6" (15 cm) above garage
floor.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE SAFETY REVERSING SENSORS
The safety reversing sensors must be connected and aligned correctly before the garage door
opener will move in the down direction.
The sending sensor (with an amber LED) transmitsan invisible lightbeam to the receiving sensor (with a
green LED). Ifan obstruction breaks the lightbeamwhile the door is closing, the door will stop and
reverse to the full open position, and the garage door opener lights will flash 10 times.
NOTE: For energy efficiency the garage door opener will enter sleep mode when the door is fully
closed. The sleep mode shuts the garage door opener down until activated. The sleep mode is
sequenced with the garage door opener light bulb; as the light bulb turns off the sensor LEDs will turn off
and whenever the garage door opener lights turn on the sensor LEDswill light.The garage door opener
will not go into the sleep mode until the garage door opener has completed 5 cycles upon power up.
When installing the safety reversing sensors check the following:
lSensorsare installed inside the garage,one on either side of the door.
lSensorsare facing each other with the lenses aligned and the receiving sensor lens does not
receive direct sunlight.
lSensorsare no more than 6 inches (15 cm) above the floor and the light beam is
unobstructed.

The safetyreversing sensors can be attached to the door track, the wall, or the floor. Ifthe door track will
not support the sensor bracket a wall installation is recommended.Choose one of the following
installations.
OPTION A DOOR TRACK INSTALLATION
1. Slide the curved armsof the sensor bracket around the edge of the door track.Snap into place
so that the sensor bracket is flush against the track.
2. Slide the carriage bolt into the sloton each sensor.
3. Insertthe bolt through the hole in the sensor bracket and attach with the wing nut.The lenses
on both sensors should pointtoward each other. Make sure the lens isnot obstructed by the
sensor bracket.

OPTION B WALLINSTALLATION
If additional clearance is needed an extension bracket (notprovided) or wood blockscan be used. Make
sure each brackethas the same amount of clearance so they will align correctly.
1. Position the sensor bracketagainst the wall with the curved armsfacing the door. Make sure
there is enough clearance for the beam to be unobstructed. Mark holes.
2. Drill 3/16 inch pilot holes for each sensor bracket and attach the sensor brackets to the wall
using lag screws (not provided).
3. Slide the carriage bolt into the sloton each sensor.
4. Insertthe bolt through the hole in the sensor bracket and attach with the wing nut.The lenses
on both sensors should pointtoward each other. Make sure the lens isnot obstructed by the
sensor bracket.

Use an extension bracket (not provided) or wood block to raise the sensor bracket if needed.
1. Carefully measure the position ofboth sensor bracketsso they will be the same distance from
the wall and unobstructed.
2. Attach the sensor bracketsto the floor using concrete anchors (not provided).
3. Slide the carriage bolt into the sloton each sensor.
4. Insertthe bolt through the hole in the sensor bracket and attach with the wing nut.The lens on

(Not shown)
OPTION A INSTALLATION WITHOUT PRE-WIRING
1. Run the wire from both sensors to the garage door opener. Attach the wire to the wall and
ceiling with the staples.
2. Strip 7/16 inch (11 mm) of insulation from each set of wires. Separate the wires. Twist the white
wires together. Twist the white/black wires together.
3. Insertthe white wires into the white terminal on the garage door opener.Insertthe white/black
wires into the grey terminal on the garage door opener.To insertor remove the wires from the
terminal,push in the tab with a screwdriver tip.
