Planning
Identify the type and height of your garage door. Survey your garage area to see if any of the conditions below apply to your installation. Additional materials may be required. You may find it helpful to refer back to this page and the accompanying illustrations as you proceed with the installation of your opener.
Depending on your requirements, there are several installation steps which may call for materials or hardware not included in the carton.
· Installation Step 1 ­ Look at the wall or ceiling above the garage door. The header bracket must be securely fastened to structural supports.
· Installation Step 5 ­ Do you have a finished ceiling in your garage? If so, a support bracket and additional fastening hardware may be required.
· Installation Step 10 ­ Depending upon garage construction, extension brackets or wood blocks may be needed to install sensors.
· Installation Step 10 ­ Alternate floor mounting of the safety reversing sensor will require hardware not provided.

· Do you have an access door in addition to the garage door? If not, Model 7702CB Emergency Key Release is required. See Accessories page.
· Look at the garage door where it meets the floor. Any gap between the floor and the bottom of the door must not exceed 1/4″ (6 mm). Otherwise, the safety reversal system may not work properly. See Adjustment Step 3. Floor or door should be repaired.
SECTIONAL DOOR INSTALLATIONS
· Do you have a steel, aluminum, fiberglass or glass panel door? If so, horizontal and vertical reinforcement is required (Installation Step 11).
· The opener should be installed above the 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 11.
· If your door is more than 7 feet (2.1 m) high, see rail extension kits listed on Accessories page.

ASSEMBLY STEP 1
Assemble the Rail & Install the Trolley
To avoid installation difficulties, do not run the garage door opener until instructed to do so.
The front rail has a cut out “window” at the door end (see illustration). The hole above this window is larger on the top of the rail than on the bottom. A smaller hole 3-1/2″ (8.9 cm) away is close to the rail edge. Rotate the back rail so it has a similar hole close to the opposite edge, about 4-3/4″ (12 cm) from the far end.
1. Remove the straight door arm and hanging bracket packaged inside the front rail and set aside for Installation Step 5 and 12. NOTE: To prevent INJURY while unpacking the rail carefully remove the straight door arm stored within the rail section.
2. Align the rail sections on a flat surface as shown and slide the tapered ends into the larger ones. Tabs along the side will lock into place.

To prevent INJURY from pinching, keep hands and fingers away from the joints while assembling the rail.
3. Place the motor unit on packing material to protect the cover, and rest the back end of the rail on top. For convenience, put a support under the front end of the rail.
4. As a temporary stop, insert a screwdriver into the hole 10″ (25 cm) from the front end of the rail, as shown.
5. Check to be sure there are 4 plastic wear pads inside the inner trolley. If they became loose during shipping, check all packing material. Snap them back into position as shown.
6. Slide the trolley assembly along the rail from the back end to the screwdriver.

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 (see page 13) 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 2×4 (on wall or ceiling), use lag screws (not provided) to securely fasten the 2×4 to structural supports as shown here and on page 13.
3. Open your door to the highest point of travel as shown. Draw an intersecting horizontal line on the header wall above the high point:
· 2″ (5 cm) above the high point for sectional door and one-piece door with track.
· 8″ (20 cm) above the high point for one-piece door without track.
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 13 for ceiling installation.

INSTALLATION STEP 6
Install the Door Control
Locate door control within sight of door at a minimum height of 5 feet (1.5 m) where small children cannot reach, and away from moving parts of door and door hardware. The installation surface must be smooth and flat. If installing into drywall (Figure 1), drill 5/32″ holes and use anchors provided. For pre-wired installations (as in new home construction), it may be mounted to a single gang box (Figure 2). NOTE: After installation, a green or amber indicator light behind the cover will indicate proper connection. If not lit, the Lock and Light features will not function (reverse wires to correct).
1. Strip 7/16″ (11 mm) of insulation from one end of bell wire and connect to the two screw terminals on back of door control by color: white wire to WHT and white/red wire to the RED (Figure 3).
2. Remove white cover by gently prying on a side corner near the top of the cover with a small flat head screwdriver (Figure 4). Fasten with 6ABx1-1/4″ self-tapping screws (drywall installation) or 6-32×1″ machine screws (into gang box) as follows:
· Drill and install bottom screw, allowing 1/8″ (3 mm) to protrude above wall surface.
· Position bottom of door control on screw head and slide down to secure. Adjust screw for snug fit.
· Install top screw with care to avoid cracking plastic housing. Do not overtighten.
· Insert bottom tabs and snap on cover.
NOTE: The push bar may stick if the door control is not mounted on a smooth surface. If a click is not heard when pressing the push bar, loosen the two mounting screws or relocate the door control to a smoother surface.
3. (Standard installation only) Run bell wire up wall and across ceiling to motor unit. Use insulated staples to secure wire in several places. Do not pierce wire 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-connect terminals as follows: white to white and white/red to red (Figure 5).
NOTE: When connecting multiple door controls to the opener, twist same color wires together. Insert wires into quick-connect holes: white to white and red/white to red.
5. Use tacks or staples to permanently attach entrapment warning label to wall near door control, and manual release/safety reverse test label in a prominent location on inside of garage door.
NOTE: DO NOT connect power and operate opener at this time. The trolley will travel to the full open position but will not return to the close position until the sensor beam is connected and properly aligned.

To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from electrocution: · Be sure power is NOT connected BEFORE installing
door control. · Connect ONLY to 24 VOLT low voltage wires. To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from a closing garage door: · Install door control within sight of garage door, out of
reach of children at a minimum height of 5 feet (1.5 m) and away from ALL moving parts of door. · NEVER permit children to operate or play with door control push buttons or remote control transmitters. · Activate door ONLY when it can be seen clearly, is properly adjusted and there are no obstructions to door travel. · ALWAYS keep garage door in sight until completely closed. NEVER permit anyone to cross path of closing garage door.

Electrical Requirements
To avoid installation difficulties, do not run the opener at this time.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, your garage door opener has a grounding type plug with a third grounding pin. This plug will only fit into a grounding type outlet. If the plug doesn’t fit into the outlet you have, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet.

To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from electrocution or fire:
· Be sure power is NOT connected to the opener, and disconnect power to circuit BEFORE removing cover to establish permanent wiring connection.
· Garage door installation and wiring MUST be in compliance with ALL local electrical and building codes.
· NEVER use an extension cord, 2-wire adapter or change plug in ANY way to make it fit outlet. Be sure the opener is grounded.

RIGHT

WRONG

If permanent wiring is required by your local code, refer to the following procedure.
To make a permanent connection through the 7/8″ hole in the top of the motor unit:
· Remove the motor unit cover screws and set the cover aside.
· Remove the attached 3-prong cord.
· Connect the black (line) wire to the screw on the brass terminal; the white (neutral) wire to the screw on the silver terminal; and the ground wire to the green ground screw. The opener must be grounded.
· Reinstall the cover.
To avoid installation difficulties, do not run the opener at this time.

INSTALLATION STEP 10
Install The Protector System®
The safety reversing sensor must be connected and aligned correctly before the garage door opener will move in the down direction.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE SAFETY REVERSING SENSOR
When properly connected and aligned, the sensor will detect an obstacle in the path of its electronic beam. The sending eye (with an amber indicator light) transmits an invisible light beam to the receiving eye (with a green indicator light). If an obstruction breaks the light beam while the door is closing, the door will stop and reverse to full open position, and the opener lights will flash 10 times.
The units must be installed inside the garage so that the sending and receiving eyes face each other across the door, no more than 6″ (15 cm) above the floor. Either can be installed on the left or right of the door as long as the sun never shines directly into the receiving eye lens.
The mounting brackets are designed to clip onto the track of sectional garage doors without additional hardware.

Be sure power is NOT connected to the garage door opener BEFORE installing the safety reversing sensor.
To prevent SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from a closing garage door:
· Correctly connect and align the safety reversing sensor. This required safety device MUST NOT be disabled.
· Install the safety reversing sensor so beam is NO HIGHER than 6″ (15 cm) above garage floor.
If it is necessary to mount the units on the wall, the brackets must be securely fastened to a solid surface such as the wall framing. Extension brackets (see Accessories) are available if needed. If installing in masonry construction, add a piece of wood at each location to avoid drilling extra holes in 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 beam while the door is closing.

INSTALLING THE BRACKETS
Be sure power to the opener is disconnected. Install and align the brackets so the sensors will face each other across the garage door, with the beam no higher than 6″ (15 cm) above the floor. They may be installed in one of three ways, as follows.
Garage door track installation (preferred):
· Slip the curved arms over the rounded edge of each door track, with the curved arms facing the door. Snap into place against the side of the track. It should lie flush, with the lip hugging the back edge of the track, as shown in Figure 1.
If your door track will not support the bracket securely, wall installation is recommended.
Wall installation (Figures 2 and 3):
· Place the bracket against the wall with curved arms facing the door. Be sure there is enough clearance for the sensor beam to be unobstructed.
· If additional depth is needed, an extension bracket (see Accessories) or wood blocks can be used.
· Use bracket mounting holes as a template to locate and drill (2) 3/16″ diameter pilot holes on the wall at each side of the door, no higher than 6″ (15 cm) above the floor.
· Attach brackets to wall with lag screws (not provided).
· If using extension brackets or wood blocks, adjust right and left assemblies to the same distance out from the mounting surface. Make sure all door hardware obstructions are cleared.
Floor installation (Figure 4):
· Use wood blocks or extension brackets (see Accessories) to elevate sensor brackets so the lenses will be no higher than 6″ (15 cm) above the floor.
· Carefully measure and place right and left assemblies at the same distance out from the wall. Be sure all door hardware obstructions are cleared.
· Fasten to the floor with concrete anchors as shown.

MOUNTING AND WIRING THE SAFETY REVERSING SENSORS
Mounting:
· Slide a 1/4″-20×1/2″ carriage bolt head into the slot on each sensor. Use wing nuts to fasten sensors to brackets, with lenses pointing toward each other across the door. Be sure the lens is not obstructed by a bracket extension (Figure 5).
· Finger tighten the wing nuts.
Option A – Installation Without Pre-Wiring:
· Run the bell wire from both sensors to the garage door opener. Attach the wire to the wall and ceiling with the staples (Figure 6).
Option B – Pre-Wired Installation:
If your garage already has wires installed for the safety reversing sensors, follow the instructions below:
· Cut the end of the safety sensor wire, making sure there is enough wire to reach the pre-installed wires from the wall (Figure 7).
· Separate the safety sensor wires and strip 7/16″ (11 mm) of insulation from each end. Choose two of the pre-installed wires and strip 7/16″ (11 mm) of insulation from each end. Make sure that you choose the same color pre- installed wires for each sensor (Figure 8).
· Connect the pre-installed wires to the sensor wires with wire nuts making sure the colors correspond for each sensor (Figure 9).

ALIGNING THE SAFETY REVERSING SENSORS
· Plug in the opener. The indicator lights in both the sending and receiving eyes will glow steadily if wiring connections and alignment are correct.
The sending eye amber indicator light will glow regardless of alignment or obstruction. If the green indicator light in the receiving eye is off, dim, or flickering (and the invisible light beam path is not obstructed), alignment is required.
· Loosen the sending eye wing nut and readjust, aiming directly at the receiving eye. Lock in place.
· Loosen the receiving eye wing nut and adjust sensor until it receives the sender’s beam. When the green indicator light glows steadily, tighten the wing nut.

TROUBLESHOOTING THE SAFETY REVERSING SENSORS
1. If the sending eye indicator light does not glow steadily after installation, check for:
· Electric power to the opener.
· A short in the white or white/black wires. These can occur at staples, or at opener connections.
· Incorrect wiring between sensors and opener.
· A broken wire.
2. If the sending eye indicator light glows steadily but the receiving eye indicator light doesn’t:
· Check alignment.
· Check for an open wire to the receiving eye.
3. If the receiving eye indicator light is dim, realign either sensor.
NOTE: When the invisible beam path is obstructed or misaligned while the door is closing, the door will reverse. If the door is already open, it will not close. The opener lights will blink 10 times. See page 19.

INSTALLATION STEP 11

Fasten the Door Bracket
Follow instructions which apply to your door type as illustrated below or on the following page.
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.
Figure 1 shows one piece of angle iron as the horizontal brace. For the vertical brace, 2 pieces of angle iron are used to create a U-shaped support. The best solution is to check with your garage door manufacturer for an opener installation door 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 Step 12.
SECTIONAL DOORS
1. Center the door bracket on the previously marked vertical centerline used for the header bracket installation. Note correct UP placement, as stamped inside the bracket.
2. Position the top edge of the bracket 2″-4″ (5-10 cm) below the top edge of the door, OR directly below any structural support across the top of the door.
3. Mark, drill holes and install as follows, depending on your door’s construction:
Metal or light weight doors using a vertical angle iron brace between the door panel support and the door bracket:
· Drill 3/16″ fastening holes. Secure the door bracket using the two 1/4″-14×5/8″ self-threading screws (Figure 2A).
· Alternately, use two 5/16″ bolts, lock washers and nuts (not provided) (Figure 2B).
Metal, insulated or light weight factory reinforced doors:
· Drill 3/16″ fastening holes. Secure the door bracket using the self- threading screws (Figure 3).
Wood Doors:
· Use top and bottom or side to side door bracket holes. Drill 5/16″ holes through the door and secure bracket with 5/16″x2″ carriage bolts, lock washers and nuts (not provided) (Figure 4).
NOTE: The 1/4″-14×5/8″ self-threading screws are not intended for use on wood doors.

ADJUSTMENT STEP 1

Adjust the UP and DOWN Travel Limits
Limit adjustment settings regulate the points at which the door will stop when moving up or down.
To operate the opener, press the Door Control push bar. Run the opener through a complete travel cycle.
· Does the door open and close completely?
· Does the door stay closed and not reverse unintentionally when fully closed?
If your door passes both of these tests, no limit adjustments are necessary unless the reversing test fails (Adjustment Step 3, page 29).
Adjustment procedures are outlined below. Read the procedures carefully before proceeding to Adjustment Step 2. Use a screwdriver to make limit adjustments. Run the opener through a complete travel cycle after each adjustment.
NOTE: Repeated operation of the opener during adjustment procedures may cause the motor to overheat and shut off. Simply wait 15 minutes and try again.
NOTE: If anything interferes with the door’s upward travel, it will stop. If anything interferes with the door’s downward travel (including binding or unbalanced doors) it will reverse.
HOW AND WHEN TO ADJUST THE LIMITS
· If the door does not open completely but opens at least five feet (1.5 m):
Increase up travel. Turn the UP limit adjustment screw clockwise. One turn equals 2″ (5 cm) of travel.
NOTE: To prevent the trolley from hitting the cover protection bolt, keep a minimum distance of 2-4″ (5 cm – 10 cm) between the trolley and the bolt.
· If door does not open at least 5 feet (1.5 m):
Adjust the UP (open) force as explained in Adjustment Step 2.
· If the door does not close completely:
Increase down travel. Turn the down limit adjustment screw counterclockwise. One turn equals 2″ (5 cm) of travel.
If door still won’t close completely and the trolley bumps into the pulley bracket (page 4), try lengthening the door arm (page 25) and decreasing the down limit.
· If the opener reverses in fully closed position:
Decrease down travel. Turn the down limit adjustment screw clockwise. One turn equals 2″ (5 cm) of travel.
· If the door reverses when closing and there is no visible interference to travel cycle:
If the opener lights are flashing, the Safety Reversing Sensors are either not installed, misaligned, or obstructed. See Troubleshooting, page 22.
Test the door for binding: Pull the emergency release handle. Manually open and close the door. If the door is binding or unbalanced, call for a trained door systems technician. If the door is balanced and not binding, adjust the DOWN (close) force. See Adjustment Step 2. 27

Without a properly installed safety reversal system, persons (particularly small children) could be SERIOUSLY INJURED or KILLED by a closing garage door. · Incorrect adjustment of garage door travel limits
will interfere with proper operation of safety reversal system. · If one control (force or travel limits) is adjusted, the other control may also need adjustment. · After ANY adjustments are made, the safety reversal system MUST be tested. Door MUST reverse on contact with 1-1/2″ high (3.8 cm) object (or 2×4 laid flat) on floor.
To prevent damage to vehicles, be sure fully open door provides adequate clearance.

ADJUSTMENT STEP 2
Adjust the Force
Force adjustment controls are located on the right panel of the motor unit. Force adjustment settings regulate the amount of power required to open and close the door.
If the forces are set too light, door travel may be interrupted by nuisance reversals in the down direction and stops in the up direction. Weather conditions can affect the door movement, so occasional adjustment may be needed.
The maximum force adjustment range is about 3/4 of a complete turn. Do not force controls beyond that point. Turn force adjustment controls with a screwdriver.
NOTE: If anything interferes with the door’s upward travel, it will stop. If anything interferes with the door’s downward travel (including binding or unbalanced doors), it will reverse.
HOW AND WHEN TO ADJUST THE FORCES
1. Test the DOWN (close) force
· Grasp the door bottom when the door is about halfway through DOWN (close) travel. The door should reverse. Reversal halfway through down travel does not guarantee reversal on a 1-1/2″ (3.8 cm) obstruction. See Adjustment Step 3, page 29. If the door is hard to hold or doesn’t reverse, DECREASE the DOWN (close) force by turning the control counterclockwise. Make small adjustments until the door reverses normally. After each adjustment, run the opener through a complete cycle.
· If the door reverses during the down (close) cycle and the opener lights aren’t flashing, INCREASE DOWN (close) force by turning the control clockwise. Make small adjustments until the door completes a close cycle. After each adjustment, run the opener through a complete travel cycle. Do not increase the force beyond the minimum amount required to close the door.
2. Test the UP (open) force
· Grasp the door bottom when the door is about halfway through UP (open) travel. The door should stop. If the door is hard to hold or doesn’t stop, DECREASE UP (open) force by turning the control counterclockwise. Make small adjustments until the door stops easily and opens fully. After each adjustment, run the opener through a complete travel cycle.
· If the door doesn’t open at least 5 feet (1.5 m), INCREASE UP (open) force by turning the control clockwise. Make small adjustments until door opens completely. Readjust the UP limit if necessary. After each adjustment, run the opener through a complete travel cycle.

Without a properly installed safety reversal system, persons (particularly small children) could be SERIOUSLY INJURED or KILLED by a closing garage door.
· Too much force on garage door will interfere with proper operation of safety reversal system.
· NEVER increase force beyond minimum amount required to close garage door.
· NEVER use force adjustments to compensate for a binding or sticking garage door.
· If one control (force or travel limits) is adjusted, the other control may also need adjustment.
· After ANY adjustments are made, the safety reversal system MUST be tested. Door MUST reverse on contact with 1-1/2″ high (3.8 cm) object (or 2×4 laid flat) on floor.

ADJUSTMENT STEP 3
Test the Safety Reversal System
TEST
· With the door fully open, place a 1-1/2″ (3.8 cm) board (or a 2×4 laid flat) on the floor, centered under the garage door.
· Operate the door in the down direction. The door must reverse on striking the obstruction.
ADJUST
· If the door stops on the obstruction, it is not traveling far enough in the down direction. Increase the DOWN limit by turning the DOWN limit adjustment screw counterclockwise 1/4 turn.
NOTE: On a sectional door, make sure limit adjustments do not force the door arm beyond a straight up and down position. See the illustration on page 25.
· Repeat the test.
· When the door reverses on the 1-1/2″ (3.8 cm) board (or 2×4 laid flat), remove the obstruction and run the opener through 3 or 4 complete travel cycles to test adjustment.
· If the unit continues to fail the Safety Reverse Test, call for a trained door systems technician.
IMPORTANT SAFETY CHECK:
Test the Safety Reverse System after:
· Each adjustment of door arm length, limits, or force controls.
· Any repair to or adjustment of the garage door (including springs and hardware).
· Any repair to or buckling of the garage floor.
· Any repair to or adjustment of the opener.

Without a properly installed safety reversal system, persons (particularly small children) could be SERIOUSLY INJURED or KILLED by a closing garage door. · Safety reversal system MUST be tested every month. · If one control (force or travel limits) is adjusted, the
other control may also need adjustment. · After ANY adjustments are made, the safety reversal
system MUST be tested. Door MUST reverse on contact with 1-1/2″ high (3.8 cm) object (or 2×4 laid flat) on the floor.
1-1/2″ (3.8 cm) board (or a 2×4 laid flat)

ADJUSTMENT STEP 4
Test The Protector System®
· Press the remote control push button to open the door.
· Place the opener carton in the path of the door.
· Press the remote control push button to close the door. The door will not move more than an inch (2.5 cm), and the opener lights will flash.
The garage door opener will not close from a remote if the indicator light in either sensor is off (alerting you to the fact that the sensor is misaligned or obstructed).
If the opener closes the door when the safety reversing sensor is obstructed (and the sensors are no more than 6″ (15 cm) above the floor), call for a trained door systems technician.

Without a properly installed safety reversing sensor, persons (particularly small children) could be SERIOUSLY INJURED or KILLED by a closing garage door.
