Identify the type and height of your garagedoor. Surveyyour
garageareato seeif any of the conditions below applyto your
installation. Additional materials may be required.You may find it
helpfulto refer backto this pageand the accompanying
illustrations asyou proceedwith the installation ofyour opener.
Dependingon your requirements, thereare several installation
steps which may call for materials or hardwarenot included in the
carton.
Installation Step 1- Lookat the wall or ceiling abovethe garage
door. The headerbracketmust besecurely fastenedto structural
supports.
Installation Step5 - Doyou havea finished ceiling in your
garage? If so, a support bracketand additional fastening
hardwaremay be required.
Installation Step 10- Dependingupon garage construction,
extension bracketsor wood blocks may be neededto install
sensors.
Installation Step 10- Alternate floor mounting of the safety
reversingsensor will require hardwarenot provided.
Doyou havean accessdoor in addition to the garagedoor? If
not, Model53702 OutsideQuick Releaseis required.See
Accessories page.
Look atthe garagedoor where it meetsthe floor. Any gap
betweenthefloor and the bottom of the door must not exceed
1/4" (6mm). Otherwise,the safety reversalsystem may not
work properly. SeeAdjustment Step3. Flooror door should be
repaired.
SECTIONALDOORINSTALLATIONS
Doyou havea steel,aluminum, fiberglass orglass paneldoor?
If so, horizontal and vertical reinforcement is required
(Installation Step11).
The openershould be installed abovethe center of the door. If
there is a torsion spring or center bearing platein theway of the
headerbracket, it may be installedwithin 4 feet (1.2 m) to the
left or right of the door center.See Installation Steps 1 and 11.
If your door is more than 7 feet (2.1 m) high, see railextension
kits listed on Accessoriespage.
SECTIONALDOORINSTALLATION
Horizontal and vertical reinforcement
is neededfor lightweight garage doors
(fiberglass, steel, aluminum, door with
glass panels, etc.). See page 23for details.

Dependingon your door's construction, you may need
additional mounting hardwarefor the door bracket(Step 11).
Without a properlyworking safety reversalsystem, persons
(particularly small children) could be SERIOUSLYINJUREDor
KILLEDby a closing garage door.
The gap betweenthe bottom of the garagedoor and the

IMPORTANTINFORMATIONABOUTTHESAFETYREVERSING
SENSOR
When properly connectedand aligned,the sensor will detectan
obstacle in the path of its electronic beam.Thesending eye(with
an green indicator light) transmits an invisible light beamto 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 openerlightswill flash
10 times.
The units must be installed insidethe garage sothat 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 as long asthe sun nevershines directly into the
receivingeyelens.
The mounting bracketsare designedto clip onto thetrack of
sectional garagedoors without additional hardware.
Besure poweris 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
requiredsafety device MUSTNOTbedisabled.
Installthe safety reversingsensor so beam is NOHIGHER
than 6"(15 cm) abovegaragefloor.
If it is necessaryto mount the units on thewall, the brackets must
be securelyfastenedto a solid surface such asthe wall framing.
Extensionbrackets (seeaccessories)are availableif needed.If
installing in masonryconstruction, add a pieceof wood at each
location to avoiddrilling extra holes in masonry if repositioning is
necessary.
Theinvisible light beam pathmust be unobstructed. No partof the
garagedoor (or door tracks, springs, hinges, rollers or other
hardware)may interrupt the beamwhile the door isclosing.
