INSTALLATION STEP 1Determine the Header BracketLocation

Installation procedures vary according to garage doortypes. Follow the instructions which apply to your door.

1. Close the door and mark the inside vertical centerline ofthe garage door.

2. Extend the line onto the header wall above the door.

You can fasten the header bracket within 4 feet(1.22 m) of the left or right of the door center only ifa torsion spring or center bearing plate is in theway; or you can attach it to the ceiling (see page 13)when clearance is minimal. (It may be mounted onthe wall upside down if necessary, to gainapproximately 1/2" (1 cm).)If you need to install the header bracket on a 2x4(on wall or ceiling), use lag screws (not provided)to securely fasten the 2x4 to structural supports asshown 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 wallabove the high point:

• 2" (5 cm) above the high point for sectional door andone-piece door with track.

• 8" (20 cm) above the high point for one-piece doorwithout track.

This height will provide travel clearance for the top edgeof the door.

NOTE: If the total number of inches exceeds the heightavailable in your garage, use the maximum heightpossible, or refer to page 13 for ceiling installation.

To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH:• Header bracket MUST be RIGIDLY fastened to structural

support on header wall or ceiling, otherwise garage doormight not reverse when required. DO NOT install headerbracket over drywall.

• Concrete anchors MUST be used if mounting header bracketor 2x4 into masonry.

• NEVER try to loosen, move or adjust garage door, springs,cables, pulleys, brackets, or their hardware, ALL of whichare under EXTREME tension.

• ALWAYS call a trained door systems technician if garagedoor binds, sticks, or is out of balance. An unbalancedgarage door might not reverse when required.

To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH fromelectrocution:• 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 closinggarage 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 awayfrom ALL moving parts of door.

• NEVER permit children to operate or play with door controlpush buttons or remote control transmitters.

• Activate door ONLY when it can be seen clearly, is properlyadjusted 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.

INSTALLATION STEP 6Install the Door Control

Locate door control within sight of door, at a minimumheight of 5 feet (1.5 m) where small children cannot reach,away from moving parts of door and door hardware.If installing into drywall, drill 5/32" holes and use theanchors provided. For pre-wired installations (as in newhome construction), it may be mounted to a single gangbox (Figure 2).

1. Strip 7/16" (11 mm) of insulation from one end of bellwire and connect to the two screw terminals on back ofdoor control by color: white wire to 2 and white/red wireto the 1.

2. Remove cover by gently prying at slot in top of thecover with a small flat head screwdriver. Fasten with6ABx1-1/4" self-tapping screws (drywall installation) or6-32x1" machine screws (into gang box) as follows:

• Install bottom screw, allowing 1/8" (3 mm) to protrudeabove wall surface.

• Position bottom of door control on screw head andslide down to secure. Adjust screw for snug fit.

• Drill and install top screw with care to avoid crackingplastic housing. Do not overtighten.

• Insert top tabs and snap on cover.

3. (For standard installation only) Run bell wire up walland across ceiling to motor unit. Use insulated staplesto secure wire in several places. Do not pierce wire witha 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 asfollows: white to white and white/red to red.

NOTE: When connecting multiple door controlsto the opener, twist same color wires together. Insertwires into quick-connect holes: white to white andred/white to red.

5. Use tacks or staples to permanently attach entrapmentwarning label to wall near door control, and manualrelease/safety reverse test label in a prominent locationon inside of garage door.

• Press the release tabs on both sides of lens. Gentlyrotate lens back and downward until the lens hinge is inthe fully open position. Do not remove the lens.

• Install a 100 watt maximum light bulb in each socket.Light bulb size should be A19, standard neck only. Thelights will turn ON and remain lit for approximately 4-1/2minutes when power is connected. Then the lights willturn OFF.

• Reverse the procedure to close the lens.

• Use A19, standard neck garage door opener bulbs forreplacement.

NOTE: Use only standard light bulbs. The use of shortneck or speciality light bulbs may overheat the endpanelor light socket.

INSTALLATION STEP 8Attach the Emergency Release Ropeand Handle

• Thread one end of the rope through the hole in the topof the red handle so “NOTICE” reads right side up asshown. Secure with an overhand knot at least 1"(2.5 cm) from the end of the rope to prevent slipping.

• Thread the other end of the rope through the hole in therelease arm of the outer trolley.

• Adjust rope length so the handle is 6 feet (1.83 m)above the floor. Ensure that the rope and handle clearthe tops of all vehicles to avoid entanglement. Securewith an overhand knot.

NOTE: If it is necessary to cut the rope, heat seal the cutend with a match or lighter to prevent unraveling.

INSTALLATION STEP 9Electrical Requirements

To avoid installation difficulties, do not run the openerat this time.To reduce the risk of electric shock, your garage dooropener has a grounding type plug with a third groundingpin. This plug will only fit into a grounding type outlet. Ifthe plug doesn't fit into the outlet you have, contact aqualified electrician to install the proper outlet.

If permanent wiring is required by your local code,refer to the following procedure.To make a permanent connection through the 7/8" hole inthe top of the motor unit:

• Remove the motor unit cover screws and set the coveraside.

• Remove the attached 3-prong cord.

• Connect the black (line) wire to the screw on the brassterminal; the white (neutral) wire to the screw on thesilver terminal; and the ground wire to the green groundscrew. The opener must be grounded.

• Reinstall the cover.

To avoid installation difficulties, do not run the openerat this time.

RIGHT WRONG

To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH fromelectrocution or fire:• Be sure power is not connected to the opener, and

disconnect power to circuit BEFORE removing cover toestablish permanent wiring connection.

• Garage door installation and wiring MUST be in compliancewith ALL local electrical and building codes.

• NEVER use an extension cord, 2-wire adapter, or changeplug in any way to make it fit outlet. Be sure the opener isgrounded.

Safety Reversing Sensor6" (15 cm) max. above floor

Facing the door from inside the garage

INSTALLATION STEP 10Install The Protector System®

The safety reversing sensor must be connected andaligned correctly before the garage door opener willmove in the down direction.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE SAFETY REVERSING SENSORWhen properly connected and aligned, the sensor willdetect an obstacle in the path of its electronic beam. Thesending eye (with an amber indicator light) transmits aninvisible light beam to the receiving eye (with a greenindicator light). If an obstruction breaks the light beamwhile the door is closing, the door will stop and reverse tofull open position, and the opener lights will flash 10 times.

The units must be installed inside the garage so that thesending and receiving eyes face each other across thedoor, no more than 6" (15 cm) above the floor. Either canbe installed on the left or right of the door as long as thesun never shines directly into the receiving eye lens.

The mounting brackets are designed to clip onto the trackof sectional garage doors without additional hardware.

If it is necessary to mount the units on the wall, thebrackets must be securely fastened to a solid surfacesuch as the wall framing. Extension brackets(see Accessories) are available if needed. If installing inmasonry construction, add a piece of wood at eachlocation to avoid drilling extra holes in masonry ifrepositioning is necessary.

The invisible light beam path must be unobstructed. Nopart of the garage door (or door tracks, springs, hinges,rollers or other hardware) may interrupt the beam whilethe door is closing.

Be sure power is not connected to the garage door openerBEFORE installing the safety reversing sensor.To prevent SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from a closing garagedoor:• 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.

INSTALLING THE BRACKETSBe sure power to the opener is disconnected. Installand align the brackets so the sensors will face each otheracross the garage door, with the beam no higher than 6"(15 cm) above the floor. They may be installed in one ofthree 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. Snapinto place against the side of the track. It should lieflush, with the lip hugging the back edge of the track, asshown in Figure 1.

If your door track will not support the bracket securely, wallinstallation is recommended.

Wall installation (Figure 2 & 3): • Place the bracket against the wall with curved arms

facing the door. Be sure there is enough clearance forthe 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 anddrill (2) 3/16" diameter pilot holes on the wall at eachside of the door, no higher than 6" (15 cm) above thefloor.

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

• If using extension brackets or wood blocks, adjust rightand left assemblies to the same distance out from themounting surface. Make sure all door hardwareobstructions are cleared.

Floor installation (Figure 4): • Use wood blocks or extension brackets

(see Accessories) to elevate sensor brackets so thelenses will be no higher than 6" (15 cm) above the floor.

• Carefully measure and place right and left assemblies atthe same distance out from the wall. Be sure all doorhardware obstructions are cleared.

• Fasten to the floor with concrete anchors as shown.

Figure 5MOUNTING AND WIRING THE SAFETY REVERSINGSENSORS• Slide a 1/4"-20x1/2" carriage bolt head into the slot on

each sensor. Use wing nuts to fasten sensors tobrackets, with lenses pointing toward each other acrossthe door. Be sure the lens is not obstructed by a bracketextension (Figure 5).

• Finger tighten the wing nuts.

• Run the wires from both sensors to the opener. Useinsulated staples to secure wire to wall and ceiling.

• Strip 7/16" (11 mm) of insulation from each set of wires.Separate white and white/black wires sufficiently toconnect to the opener quick-connect terminals. Twistlike colored wires together. Insert wires intoquick-connect holes: white to white and white/black togrey (Figure 6).

ALIGNING THE SAFETY REVERSING SENSORS• Plug in the opener. The indicator lights in both the

sending and receiving eyes will glow steadily if wiringconnections and alignment are correct.

The sending eye amber indicator light will glow regardlessof alignment or obstruction. If the green indicator light inthe receiving eye is off, dim, or flickering (and the invisiblelight beam path is not obstructed), alignment is required.

• Loosen the sending eye wing nut and readjust, aimingdirectly at the receiving eye. Lock in place.

• Loosen the receiving eye wing nut and adjust sensoruntil it receives the sender’s beam. When the greenindicator light glows steadily, tighten the wing nut.

TROUBLESHOOTING THE SAFETY REVERSINGSENSORS1. 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 canoccur 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 thereceiving 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 eithersensor.

NOTE: When the invisible beam path is obstructed ormisaligned while the door is closing, the door will reverse.If the door is already open, it will not close. The openerlights will blink 10 times. See page 20.

GREEN LED: All systems are normal.• A solid LED light indicates the batteries are fully

charged.• A flashing LED indicates the batteries are being

charged.NOTE: Batteries do not have to be fully charged tooperate the motor unit.

YELLOW LED:The motor unit has lost power and is operating off of the BBU.• A solid LED with beep, sounding approximately every 2

seconds, indicates the motor unit is activating the doorand is operating off of the BBU.

• A flashing LED with beep, sounding every 30 seconds,indicates batteries are low.

• Once the power is restored the BBU will recharge. Thisis indicated by a flashing green LED.

RED LED:An error has been detected and the BBU will automaticallyshut off. The BBU will attempt to restart by reconnecting tothe batteries. If the error is still present it will shut itself offagain. This process will repeat every 5 minutes or until theerror has been resolved. This is used to prevent furtherdraining of the batteries.• If a red LED remains on when the power is restored,

and is accompanied by a beep sounding every 30seconds, please call for service.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Test the installed BBU with the motor unit.

To test the BBU, disconnect the motor unit power cordfrom the electrical outlet.• A solid yellow LED indicates the BBU is operating on

battery power.• A flashing yellow LED with beep indicates the BBU is

operating on battery power and that the battery chargeis low.

• To test the BBU is functioning properly, open and closethe garage door.

• Re-connect the motor unit power cord back into theelectrical outlet.

• Verify that the green LED is flashing on the BBU(indicates that the BBU is now charging).

• Test completed.

2. Charge the battery.

• Allow the batteries 24 to 48 hours to fully charge beforeusing the BBU system.

A fully charged BBU supplies 24V DC to the motor unit forone to two days of normal operation during an electricalpower outage. If the battery voltage drops too low, thebatteries will disconnect and the motor unit will no longeroperate under battery power.After the electrical power has been restored, the batterieswill recharge within 48 hours. Under normal usagebatteries will last 3 to 5 years.

To obtain maximum battery life and prevent damage, alsodisconnect the battery backup if you unplug the motor unitwhile on vacation or any other extended period of time.

NOTE: Door operation may be limited until batteries arefully charged. The motor unit’s lights will not turn on duringBBU mode.

HAVING A PROBLEM?1. The opener doesn't operate from either the Door

Control or the remote control:• Does the opener have electric power? Plug a lamp into

the outlet. If it doesn't light, check the fuse box or thecircuit breaker. (Some outlets are controlled by a wallswitch.)

• Have you disabled all door locks? Review installationinstruction warnings on page 3.

• Is there a build-up of ice or snow under the door? Thedoor may be frozen to the ground. Remove anyrestriction.

• The garage door spring may be broken. Have itreplaced.

2. Opener operates from the remote, but not from theDoor Control:

• Is the door control lit? If not, reverse the wires. If theopener runs, check for a faulty wire connection at thedoor control, a short under the staples, or a broken wire.

• Are the wiring connections correct? Review InstallationStep 6, page 17.

3. The door operates from the Door Control, but notfrom the remote control:

• Is the door push bar flashing? If your model has theLock feature, make sure it is off.

• Program the opener to match the remote control code.(Refer to instructions on the motor unit panel.) Repeatwith all remotes.

4. The remote control has short range:• Change the location of the remote control in your car.

• Check to be sure the antenna on the side or back panelof motor unit extends fully downward.

• Some installations may have shorter range due to ametal door, foil backed insulation, or metal garagesiding.

5. Opener noise is disturbing in living quarters ofhome:

• If operational noise is a problem because of proximity ofthe opener to the living quarters, the Vibration IsolatorKit 89LM can be installed. This kit was designed tominimize vibration to the house and is easy to install.

6. The garage door opens and closes by itself:• Be sure that all remote control push buttons are off.

• Remove the bell wire from the door control terminalsand operate from the remote only. If this solves theproblem, the door control is faulty (replace), or there isan intermittent short on the wire between the doorcontrol and the motor unit.

• Clear memory and re-program all remote controls.

7. The door doesn't open completely:• Is something obstructing the door? Is it out of balance,

or are the springs broken? Remove the obstruction orrepair the door.

8. The door opens but won't close:• If the opener lights blink, check the safety reversing

sensor. See Installation Step 10.

• If the opener lights don’t blink and it is a newinstallation. See Adjustment Step 2. For an existinginstallation, see below.

Repeat the safety reverse test after the adjustmentis complete.

9. The door reverses for no apparent reason andopener lights don’t blink:

• Is something obstructing the door? Pull the emergencyrelease handle. Operate the door manually. If it isunbalanced or binding, call a trained door systemstechnician.

• Clear any ice or snow from the garage floor area wherethe door closes.

• Review Adjustment Step 2.

10. The door reverses for no apparent reason andopener lights blink for 5 seconds after reversing:

• Check the safety reversing sensor. Remove anyobstruction or align the receiving eye. See InstallationStep 10.

11. The opener lights don't turn on:• Replace the light bulbs (100 watts maximum). Use A19,

standard neck garage door opener bulbs forreplacement.

12. The opener lights don't turn off:• Is the Light feature on? Turn it off.

13. The opener strains to operate door:• The door may be out of balance or the springs may be

broken. Close the door and use the emergency releasehandle to disconnect the trolley. Open and close thedoor manually. A properly balanced door will stay in anypoint of travel while being supported entirely by itssprings. If it does not, disconnect the opener and call atrained door systems technician.

14. The opener motor hums briefly, then won't work:• The garage door springs may be broken. See above.

• If the problem occurs on the first operation of theopener, door may be locked. Disable the door lock.

15. The opener won't operate due to power failure:• Use the emergency release handle to disconnect the

trolley. The door can be opened and closed manually.When power is restored, press the Door Control pushbar and trolley will automatically reconnect (unlesstrolley is in lockout position.) See page 31.
