Planning

Identify the type and height ofyour garagedoor. Surveyyour

garageareato seeif anyof the conditions below applyto your

installation. Additional materials may be required.You may

find it helpful to referback to this pageandthe accompanying

illustrations asyou proceedwith the installation of your opener.

Dependingon your requirements,there are severalinstallation

stepswhich may callfor materials or hardwarenot included in the

carton.

• Installation Step1 - Lookat thewall or ceiling abovethe

garagedoor. The headerbracketmust besecurelyfastenedto

structural supports.

• Installation Step5 - Doyou havea finished ceiling in your

garage? If so, a support bracketandadditional fastening

hardwaremay berequired.

• Installation Step10 - Dependingupon garageconstruction,

extension bracketsor wood blocks may be neededto install

sensors.

• Installation Step10 -Alternate floor mounting of the safety

reversing sensor will require hardwarenot provided.

• Doyou havean accessdoor in addition to the garagedoor?

If not, Model 53702 EmergencyKeyReleaseis required.See

Accessoriespage.

Look atthe garagedoor where it meetsthe floor. Any gap

betweenthe floor and the bottom of the door must not exceed

1/4" (6 mm). Otherwise,the safety reversalsystem may not

work properly. SeeAdjustment Step3. Flooror door should be

repaired.

SECTIONALDOORINSTALLATIONS

• Doyou havea steel, aluminum, fiberglass or glass panel

door? If so,horizontal andvertical reinforcement is required

(Installation Step 11).

• Theopener should be installed abovethe center of the door. If

there is atorsion spring or center bearing plate in the way of

the headerbracket, it may be installedwithin 4 feet (1.22 m) to

the left or right of the door center.See Installation Steps 1

and 11.

• If your door is morethan 7 feet (2.13 m) high, seerail

extension kits listed on Accessories page.

ONE-PIECEDOORINSTALLATIONS

• Generally,aone-piecedoor does not require reinforcement.

If your door is lightweight, referto the information relatingto

• Dependingon your door's construction, you may need

additional mounting hardwarefor the door bracket(Step 11).

Without a properly working safety reversalsystem, persons

(particularly small children) could be SERIOUSLYINJUREDor

KILLEDby a closing garagedoor.

• Thegap betweenthe bottom of the garagedoor andthe

point:

• 2" (5 cm) abovethe high point for sectionaldoor and

one-piecedoor with track.

• 8" (20 cm) abovethe high point for one-piecedoor without

2. Removecover by gently prying atslot in top of the cover with a

small flat head screwdriver (Figure3). Fastenwith 6ABxl"

self-tapping screws (drywall installation) or 6-32x1" machine

screws (into gang box) asfollows:

• Install bottom screw, allowing 1/8" (3 mm) to protrude above

wall surface.

• Positionbottom of door control on screw headand slide

down to secure.Adjust screw for snug fit.

• Drill andinstall top screwwith careto avoid cracking plastic

housing. DONOTovertighten.

• Inserttop tabs and snapon cover.

across ceilingto motor unit. Useinsulated staplesto secure

wire in severalplaces. DONOTpiercewire with a staple,

creating a short or open circuit.

4. Strip 7/16" (11 mm) of insulation from end of bell wire. Connect

bell wire to the quick-connectterminals asfollows: white to

white andwhite/red to red(Figure4).

NOTE:Whenconnecting multiple door controls to the opener,

twist samecolor wires together. Insert wires into

quick-connectholes: whiteto white and red/white to red.

5. Position theantennawire as shown.

6. Usetacks or staplesto permanentlyattach entrapmentwarning

label to wall near door control, and manualrelease/safety

reversetest labelin a prominent location on inside of garage

door.

NOTE:DONOTconnectpower and operateopenerat this time.

Thetrofley will travel to thefurl openposition but will not return to

the close position until the sensor beamis connectedand properly

aligned.

To prevent possible SERIOUSINJURYor DEATHfrom

electrocution:

• Besure power is NOTconnectedBEFOREinstalling door

control.

• ConnectONLYto 24 VOLTlow voltage wires.

To prevent possible SERIOUSINJURYor DEATHfrom a closing

garagedoor:

• Install door control within sight of garagedoor, out of reachof

children ata minimum height of 5 feet (1.5 m) and away from

ALL moving parts of door.

• NEVERpermit children to operateor play with door control

vehiclestoavoid entanglement.

To prevent possible SERIOUSINJURYor DEATHfrom a falling

garagedoor:

• If possible, useemergencyreleasehandle to disengage

trolley ONLYwhen garagedoor is CLOSED.Weakor broken

springs or unbalanceddoor could result in an opendoor

falling rapidly and/or unexpectedly.

• NEVERuseemergencyreleasehandle unlessgaragedoorway

is clear of persons and obstructions.

• NEVERusehandleto pull door open or closed. If rope knot

IMPORTANTINFORMATIONABOUTTHESAFETYREVERSINGSENSOR

Whenproperly connected andaligned, thesensor will detectan

obstacle in the pathof its electronic beam.Thesending eye(with

an amber indicator light) transmits an invisible light beamto

the receiving eye(with a green indicator light). If an obstruction

breaksthe light beamwhile the door is closing, the door will stop

and reverseto full open position, and the openerlights will flash

10 times.

Theunits must be installed insidethe garageso that the sending

and receivingeyesface eachother acrossthe door, no more than

6"(15 cm) abovethe floor. Eithercan be installed on the left or

right of the door aslong asthe sun nevershinesdirectly into the

receiving eyelens.

Themounting bracketsare designedto clip ontothe track of

sectionalgarage doors without additional hardware.

Besure power is NOTconnectedto the garagedoor opener

BEFOREinstallingthe safety reversingsensor.

To preventSERIOUSINJURYor DEATHfrom a closing garage

door:

• Correctlyconnect andalign the safety reversing sensor.This

required safety device MUSTNOTbedisabled.

• Install the safetyreversing sensor so beam is NOHIGHER

than 6"(15 cm) abovegaragefloor.

If it is necessaryto mount the units on the wall, the brackets must

be securelyfastenedto a solid surfacesuch asthe wall framing.

Extensionbrackets (seeAccessories) are availableif needed.If

installing in masonry construction, adda pieceof wood ateach

location to avoiddrilling extra holes in masonry if repositioning is

necessary.

Theinvisible light beampathmust be unobstructed. No part of

the garagedoor (or door tracks, springs, hinges, rollersor other

hardware) may interrupt the beamwhile the door is closing.
