GLOSSARY
Term | Definition |
---|---|
Bearing Plate | Acts as a support for the torsion bar. The bearing and |
mounting plate are typically located above the garage door.
Cable Tension Monitor| The cable tension monitor detects any slack
in the garage door cables. Failure to properly install the cable tension
monitor may cause the cables to be thrown and may result in a hazardous
situation.
Door Seal| The door seal is located at the bottom of the door and helps
to keep outdoor elements from entering the garage.
Drum| Drums are round, grooved spools on the torsion bar that keep door
cables orderly.
Extension Springs| Extension springs are NOT compatible with
this opener. Extension springs are typically mounted along the horizontal
section of the track and extend from the front of the door opening to the back
hang. The springs are intended to make a door lighter so you can easily open
and close the door by hand.
High Lift Sectional Door| A type of garage door constructed with
multiple panels that slide along a track inside the garage. The track runs
vertically up the wall beyond the top of the door opening several inches
before encountering the curve in the track. The extended distance above the
top of the garage door determines the amount of a high lift.
Protector System ®| The Protector System® is composed of a set
of sensors and transmitters that act as a safety measure to prevent personal
injury or property damage caused by a closing garage door. See also: Safety
Reversing Sensor.
Roller| Small wheels which allow the door to move up and down the track.
Safety Reversing Sensor| The safety reversing sensors are a set of
sensor eyes that detect obstructions in the path of the garage door. If an
obstruction is found, the sensors tell the door to reverse direction.
Torsion Springs| A torsion spring is a type of spring that counter
balances the garage door. The torsion spring is located above door on the
torsion bar. The springs are intended to make a door lighter so you can easily
open and close the door by hand. Consult a trained door systems technician if
you need the springs adjusted or replaced.
Torsion Bar| A torsion bar is a horizontal metal bar mounted above the
garage door. The torsion springs are located on the torsion bar. Most torsion
bars are hollow, while some are solid. Some solid torsion bars may have a
groove called a keyway that runs the length of the bar.

Open the light lens and use the screws to mount the light to the ceiling within 6 ft (1.83m) of the outlet, keeping the cord and light away from any moving parts. Once installed, close the light lens and plug the light into the outlet.
NOTE: The LED light is very bright. DO NOT stare at the light while on a ladder. Your garage door opener remote light has already been programmed at the factory to operate with your opener. Any additional or replacement remote lights will need to be programmed.
INSTALL THE PROTECTOR SYSTEM®|
The safety reversing sensors must be connected and aligned correctly before
the garage door will move in the down direction. This is a required safety
device and cannot be disabled.
- Install and align the brackets so the safety reversing sensors will face each other across the garage door, with the beam no higher than 6″ (15 cm) above the floor.
- Wire to the garage door opener, see CONNECT POWER.
- Strip 7/16″ (11 mm) of insulation from each set of wires. Separate the wires. Twist the white wires together, then the white/black wires together.
NOTE : See Owners Manual for Floor Installation of the Protector System
WIRE THE SAFETY REVERSING SENSORS

the wire to the wall and ceiling with staples. Strip 7/16 inch (11 mm) of
insulation from each set of wires. Separate white from the black the wires.
Twist the white wires together, then the white/black wires together. On the
garage door opener, push the tab with a screwdriver tip to insert the white
wires into the white terminal and the white/black wires into the grey
terminal.
CONNECT POWER
To avoid installation difficulties, do not run the garage door 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.
There are two options for connecting power:
OPTION A: TYPICAL WIRING
- Plug in the garage door opener into a grounded outlet.
- DO NOT run garage door opener at this time.
OPTION B: PERMANENT WIRING
See your Owner’s Manual for permanent wiring option
ALIGN THE SAFETY REVERSING SENSORS
The door will not close if the sensors have not been installed and aligned
correctly. The LEDs in both sensors must be glowing steady which indicates
they are powered and aligned correctly. The sending sensor (with an amber LED)
transmits an invisible light beam to the receiving sensor (with a green LED).
If an obstruction breaks the light beam while the door is closing, the door
will stop and reverse to the full open position. If the door is already open,
it will not close.
TO ALIGN SENSORS:
The sensors can be aligned by loosening the wing nuts, aligning the sensors,
and tightening the wing nuts.
If the LEDs are not glowing steadily:
- Check that both sensors are installed inside the garage, one on either side of the door.
- Check that sensors are facing each other with the lenses aligned and the receiving sensor light does not receive direct sunlight.
- Check that sensors have the same measurement, no higher than 6” above the floor. Amber LED is not lit:
- Check there is power to the garage door opener.
- Check the sensor wire is not shorted/broken.
- Check the sensor has been wired correctly: white wires to white terminal and white/black wires to grey terminal. Green LED is not lit:
- Check that the sensor wire is not shorted/broken.
- Check that the sensors are aligned
