• Installation Step 1 - Lookat the wall or ceiling abovethe

garagedoor. Theheader bracketmust be securelyfastenedto

structural supports.

• Installation Step4 - Dependingupon garageconstruction,

extension brackets or wood blocks may be neededto install

sensors.

• Installation Step4 - Alternate floor mounting of the safety

reversingsensor will require hardwarenot provided.

• Installation Step 6 - Doyou havea finished ceiling in your

garage? If so, a support bracket and additionalfastening

hardware may be required.

Doyou havean access door in addition to the garagedoor? If

not, Model 53702 EmergencyKeyReleaseis required.See

Accessoriespage.

Lookat the garage door where it meetsthe floor. Any gap

betweenthe floor and the bottom of the door must not exceed

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

work properly. SeeAdjustment Step 3. Floor or door should be

repaired.

SECTIONALDOORINSTALLATIONS

• Doyou havea steel, aluminum, fiberglass or glass panel door?

If so, horizontal and vertical reinforcement is required

(Installation Step 12).

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

there is a torsion spring or center bearing plate in the way of

the header bracket, it may be installed within 4 feet (1.2 m) to

the left or right of the door center.

See Installation Steps 1 and 12.

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

extension kits listed on Accessoriespage.

iMPORTANTiNFORMATiONABOUTTHESAFETYREVERSING

SENSOR

When properly connectedand aligned, the sensor will detect an

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

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

and reverseto full open position, and the opener lights will flash

10 times.

Theunits must be installed inside the garageso that the sending

and receivingeyes face eachother across the door, no morethan

6" (15 cm) abovethefloor. Either can be installed on the left or

right of the door as long as the sun nevershines directly into the

receiving eye lens.

Themounting brackets are designedto clip onto the track of

sectional garagedoors without additional hardware.

Be sure power is NOTconnectedto the garagedoor opener

BEFOREinstalling the safety reversing sensor.

To prevent SERIOUSINJURYor DEATHfrom a closing garage

door:

• Correctly connect and align the safety reversing sensor. This

required safety device MUSTNOTbe disabled.

• install the safety reversing sensor so beamis NOHIGHER

than 6" (15 cm) abovegaragefloor.

If it is necessaryto mount the units on the wail, the brackets

must be securelyfastenedto a solid surface such asthe wall

framing. Extensionbrackets (seeAccessories) are availableif

needed.If installing in masonry construction, add a pieceof wood

at eachlocation to avoid drilling extra holesin masonry if

repositioning is necessary.

Theinvisible light beam path must be unobstructed. No part of

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

hardware) may interrupt the beamwhile the door is closing.

Facing the door from inside thegarage

INSTALLINGTHE BRACKETS

Besure power to the opener is disconnected. Install and align

the brackets so the sensors will face eachother across the garage

door, with the beam no higher than 6"(15 cm) abovethe floor.

They may be installed in one of three ways, as follows.

Garage doortrackinstallation(preferred):

* Slip the curved arms over the rounded edge of each door track,

with the curved arms facing the door. Snap into placeagainst

the side of the track. It should lie flush, with the lip hugging the

back edge of the track, asshown in Figure1.

If your door track will not support the bracket securely,wall

installation is recommended.

Waftinstallation(Figure2 & 3):

• Placethe bracketagainst the wall with curved arms facing the

door. Besure there is enough clearancefor the sensor beamto

be unobstructed.

* If additional depth is needed,an extensionbracket (see

Accessories)or wood blocks can be used.

* Usebracket mounting holes asa template to locate and drill

(2) 3/16" diameter pilot holeson the wall at eachside of the

door, no higher than 6" (15 cm) abovethefloor.

* Attach brackets to wall with lag screws (not provided).

* If using extensionbrackets or wood blocks, adjust right and

left assembliesto the same distanceout from the mounting

surface. Make sure all door hardwareobstructions are cleared.

Floorinstallation(Figure4):

* Usewood blocksor extensionbrackets (seeAccessories)to
