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 if mounting 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 systems technician if garage door binds, sticks, or is out of
balance. An unbalanced garage door might NOT 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 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 9 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 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.

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) transmits an invisible light beam to the receiving sensor (with
a green LED). If an obstruction breaks the light beam while 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
offand whenever the garage door opener lights turn on the sensor LEDs will 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:
lSensors are installed inside the garage, one on either side of the door.
lSensors are facing each other with the lenses aligned and the receiving sensor lens does not
receive direct sunlight.
lSensors are no more than 6 inches (15 cm) above the floor and the light beam is
unobstructed.

The safety reversing sensors can be attached to the door track, the wall, or the floor. If the 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 arms of 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 slot on each sensor.
3. Insert the bolt through the hole in the sensor bracket and attach with the wing nut. The lenses
on both sensors should point toward each other. Make sure the lens is not obstructed by the
sensor bracket.

OPTION B - WALLINSTALLATION
If additional clearance is needed an extension bracket (not provided) or wood blocks can be used.
Make sure each bracket has the same amount of clearance so they will align correctly.
1. Position the sensor bracket against the wall with the curved arms facing 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 slot on each sensor.
4. Insert the bolt through the hole in the sensor bracket and attach with the wing nut. The lenses
on both sensors should point toward each other. Make sure the lens is not obstructed by the
sensor bracket.

2 Wire the Safety Reversing Sensors
PRE-WIRED INSTALLATIONS: If your garage already has wires installed for the safety reversing
sensors, see page 20.
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 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. Insert the white wires into the white terminal on the garage door opener. Insert the white/black
wires into the grey terminal on the garage door opener. To insert or remove the wires from the
terminal, push in the tab with a screwdriver tip.

OPTION B - PRE-WIRED INSTALLATION
1. Cut the end of the safety reversing sensor wire, making sure there is enough wire to reach the
pre-installed wires from the wall.
2. Separate the safety reversing sensor wires and strip 7/16 inch (11 mm) of insulation from each
end. Choose two of the pre-installed wires and strip 7/16 inch (11 mm) of insulation from each
end. Make sure that you choose the same color pre-installed wires for each sensor.
3. Connect the pre-installed wires to the sensor wires with wire nuts making sure the colors
correspond for each sensor. For example, the white wire would connect to the yellow wire and
the white/black wire would connect to the purple wire.
4. At the garage door opener, strip 7/16 inch (11 mm) of insulation from each end of the wires
previously chosen for the safety reversing sensors. Twist the like-colored wires together.
5. Insert the wires connected to the white safety sensor wires to the white terminal on the garage
door opener. Insert the wires that are connected to the white/black safety sensor wires to the
grey terminal on the garage door opener.
