Planning

Identify the type and height of your garagedoor. Surveyyour

garage areato see if any of the conditions below apply to your

installation. Additional materials may be required.You may find it

helpful to refer backto this page andthe accompanying

illustrations asyou proceedwith the installation of your opener.

Dependingon your requirements,there are several installation

steps which may call for materialsor hardwarenot included in the

carton.

• Installation Step 1 - Lookat the wall or ceiling abovethe

garagedoor. Theheader bracketmust besecurelyfastenedto

structural supports.

• Installation Step 5 - Doyou havea finished ceiling inyour

garage? If so, a support bracketand additional fastening

hardware may be required.

• Installation Step 11 - Dependingupon garageconstruction,

extension brackets or wood blocks may be neededto install

sensors.

• Installation Step 11 - Alternate floor mounting of the safety

reversingsensor will require hardwarenot provided.

Doyou havean access door in addition to the garagedoor?

If not, Model 139.53702 EmergencyKeyReleaseis required.

SeeAccessoriespage.

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 reversalsystem 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 Step12).

• Theopener should be installed abovethe center of the door.

If there is a torsion spring or center bearing platein the wayof

the header bracket, it may be installed within 4 feet (1.22 m)

to the leftor right of the door center. See Installation

Steps 1 and 12.

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

• Generally,a one-piecedoor does not requirereinforcement.

If your door is lightweight, refer to the information relating to

sectional doors in Installation Step 12.

• Dependingon your door's construction, you may need

additional mounting hardwarefor the door bracket (Step 12).

INSTALLATION STEP 1

Determinethe HeaderBracketLocation

To prevent possible SERIOUSINJURYor DEATH:

• HeaderbracketMUSTbe RIGIDLYfastenedto structural

support on headerwall or ceiling, otherwise garagedoor

might NOTreversewhen required. DONOTinstall header

bracket over drywall.

• Concreteanchors MUST be usedif mounting headerbracket

or 2x4 into masonry.

• NEVERtry to loosen, move or adjust garagedoor, springs,

cables,pulleys, brackets,or their hardware,ALL of which are

under EXTREMEtension.

• ALWAYScall a trained door systems technician if garage

door binds, sticks, or is out of balance.An unbalancedgarage

door might NOTreversewhen required.

Follow the instructions which applyto your door.

1. Closethe door and mark the insidevertical centerline of the

garagedoor.

2. Extendthe lineonto the headerwall abovethe door.

Youcanfastenthe headerbracketwithin 4 feet (1.22 m) of

the left or rightof thedoorcenter onlyif a torsionspringor

center bearingplate is in theway; or youcan attachitto the

ceiling (see page 13) whenclearanceis minimal. (It may be

mountedon thewall upsidedownif necessary,to gain

approximately1/2" (1 cm).)

If you needto install the headerbracket on a 2x4 (on wall or

ceiling), use lag screws (not provided) to securelyfasten the

2x4 to structural supports as shown hereand on page13.

3. Openyour door to the highest point of travel asshown. Draw

an intersecting horizontal line on the headerwall abovethe high

point:

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

one-piecedoor with track.

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

track.

This heightwill provide travel clearancefor the top edgeof the

door.

NOTE:If thetotal number of inches exceedsthe height available

in your garage,use themaximum height possible, or refer to

page 13 for ceiling installation.

grounded.

PERMANENTWIRING

CONNECTION

If permanent wiring isrequired byyourlocal code,refer to the

IMPORTANTINFORMATIONABOUTTHESAFETYREVERSING

SENSOR

When properly connectedand aligned, the sensor will detectan

obstacle in the pathof its electronic beam. Thesending eye

(with an amber indicator light) transmits an invisible light beam

to the receivingeye(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.

The units 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 aslong as the sun never shines directly into the

receiving eyelens.

The mounting brackets are designedto clip onto the track of

sectional garagedoors without additional hardware.

Besure power is NOTconnectedto the garagedoor opener

BEFOREinstalling the safety reversingsensor.

To prevent SERIOUSINJURYor DEATHfrom a closing garage

door:

• Correctly connect and align the safety reversingsensor.

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 wall, the bracketsmust

be securely fastenedto a solid surface such as the wall framing.

Extensionbrackets (seeaccessories) are availableif needed.

If installing in masonry construction, add a pieceof wood at each

location to avoid drilling extra holesin masonry if repositioning

is necessary.

The invisible light beam path must be unobstructed. No part of the

garage door (or door tracks, springs, hinges, rollers or other

hardware) may interrupt the beamwhile the door is closing.
