Installation
1 Determine the Header Bracket Location
To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH:
•Header 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.
•Concrete anchors MUST be used if mounting header bracket or 2x4 into masonry.
•NEVER try to loosen, move or adjust garage door, springs, cables, pulleys, brackets, or their hardware,
ALL of which are under EXTREME tension.
•ALWAYS call a trained door systems technician if garage door binds, sticks, or is out of balance. An
unbalanced garage door might NOT reverse when required.
•DO 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 of the garage door.
Extend the line onto the header wall above the door. You can fasten the header bracket within 4 feet (1.22 m) of
the left or right of the door center only if a torsion spring or center bearing plate is in the way; or you can attach
it to the ceiling when clearance is minimal. (It may be 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 highest point of travel as shown. 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.

7 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 of the top panel. Contact the 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.

Install the Protector System®
Introduction
Be sure power is NOT connected to the garage door opener BEFORE installing the safety reversing sensor.
To prevent SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from closing garage door:
•Correctly connect and align the safety reversing sensor. This required safety device MUST NOT be
disabled.
•Install the safety reversing sensor so beam is NO HIGHER than 6" (15 cm) above garage floor.
IMPORTANT: The safety reversing sensors MUST be connected and aligned correctly before the garage
door opener will move in the down direction.
The Protector System® includes two safety reversing sensors which use a light beam to prevent the garage door
from closing. The sending sensor (amber LED) transmits the beam to the receiving sensor (green LED) when both
are powered and aligned. If an obstruction breaks the light beam while the door is closing, the door will stop,
and reverse to the full open position.
When installing the safety reversing sensors, check:
•Sensors are installed INSIDE the garage.
•Sensor lenses are facing each other. IMPORTANT: Do not allow direct sunlight to the receiving sensor
(green LED).
•Sensor beam is NO HIGHER than 6" (15 cm) above the floor and the light beam is unobstructed.
