Installation Step 9 iElectrical Requirements I
[
To reduce the risk of electric shock, your garagedoor opener has a grounding type plug with a thirdgrounding pin. This plug will onlyfit into a groundingtype outleL
If the plug doesn't fit into the outlet you have,contact a qualified electrician to instP!lthe properoutlet,
To avoid Installation difficulties,do not nm the opener at thls time.
To prevent electrocution or fire, Installationend wiring must be In compliance with localelectrical and building codes.
Do NOT use an extension cord, 2-wire adapter,or change the_plug in any way to :Make it fityour outleL
Right Wrong
If permanent wiring is required by your local code, refer to the following procedure:
To make a permanent connection through the7/8' diameter hole in the top of the opener(according to local code):
• Remove the opener cover screws and set thecover aside.
• Remove the atlached 3-prong cord.
• Connect the black (line) wire to the screw on thebrass terminal; the white (neutral) wire to thescrew on the salverterminal; and the ground wireto the green ground screw. The opener must begrounded.
• Reinstall the cover.

Safety Reversing SystemInformation you'll need before you begin the Inatallation of the safety reversing sensor.
The safety reversing sensor mustbe connectedand aligned correctly before the garage dooropener will move In the down direction. This Is arequired safety device and cannot be disabled.
InstallaUon procedures are the same for s_tionaland one-piece doors.
Without a properly working safety reversingsensor, persons (particularly children) couldbe Injured or killed by a closing garage door.Read and follow all Instructions.
To protect small children, Install the safetyreversing sensor so that the beam will be nohigher than 4"-6" above the garage floor.
Disconnect power to the garage door openerbefore Installing the safety reversing sensor.
I
Be sure power to the opener Is disconnected.
The sending eye transmits an invisible light beam tothe receiving eye. The units can be inst;dled oneither side of the garage door as long as the sunnever shinas dirsctiy into the receiving eye lens.Look at the label on the connector end of each caseto identify the sensors.The brackets must be connected and fastened so
that the sending and receiving eyes face each otheras shown in Ftgura 1.
If an obstruction breaks the light beam while thegarage door is closing, the door will stop andreverse to full open position and the opener lightswill flash for 5 seconds.
The brackets'must be securely fastened to a solidsurface such as the studs on either side of the door,or add a piece of wood at each location if installing inmasonry construction.
The invisible light beam path must be unobstructed.No part of the garage door (or door tracks, spdngs,hinges, rollers orother hardware) can interrupt thebeam while the door is closing. If it does, use a pieceof wood to build out each sensor mounting location to
.the minimum depth required for light beam clearance.

However, Figures 4 and 5 are variations which mayfit your installation requirements better. Make surethe wraps and brackets are aligned so thesensors will face each other across the garagedoor.
• Fasten the "C" wraps to the mounting bracketshaving square holes, using the hardware shownin Figure 2.
• Connect each assembly to a slotted bracket, usingthe hardware shown in Figure 3.
Note the alignment of the brackets for left andright aldea of the door.
• Finger tighten the lock nuts.
• Use bracket mounting holes as a template tolocate and drill (2) 3/16" diameter pilot holes onboth sides of the garage door, 4'-6" above thefloor but not exceeding 6: (See waming onpage 21 .)
• Attach bracket assemblies with 1/4"xl -1/2" lagscrews as shown in Figure 3.
• Adjust right and left side bracket assemblies to thesame distance out from the mounting surface.Make sure all door hardware obstructions amcleared. Tighten the nuts securely.

Adjustment Section:
Adjustment Step 1Adjust the UP and DOWN Limits
Do not make any limit adjustments unUI thesafety reversing sensors are completelyInstalled.
Umit adjustment settings regulate the points atwhich the door will stopwhen moving up or down.
The door will stop in the up direction if anythinginterferes with door travel. The door will reverse inthe down direction if anything interferes with thedoor travel (including binding or unbalanced doom).
To operate the opener, press the Wall Control pushbar. Run the opener through a complete travelcycle.
• Does the door open and close completely?
• Does the door stay closed end not reverseunintentionally when fully closed?
If your door passes both of these tests, no limitadjustments are necessary unless the reversing testfalls (See page 30).

Adjustment procedures are outlined below. Runthe opener through a complete travel cycle aftereach adjustment.
Repeated operation of the opener duringadjustment procedures may cause the motor tooverheat and shut off. Simply walt 15 minutesand try again.
Read the procedures carefully before proceeding toAdjustment Step 2. Use a screwdriver to make limitadjustments.
How and When to Adjust the Limits
If the door does not open completelybut opens at/eaat five feet
Increase up travel. Turn the UP limit adjustmentscrew clockwise. One tum equals 2" of travel.
If door does not open at least 5 feet: Adjust theUP (open) force as explained in Adjustment Step 2.
If the door does not close completelyincrease down travel. Tum the DOWN limitadjustment screw counterclockwise. One turnequals 2" of travel.
If door still won1 close completely, try lengtheningthe door arm. (Page 26.)
If you have adjusted the door arm to the maximumlength and the door still will not close completely,lower the header bracket. See Installation Step 1,pages 12/13.
If the opener reverses In fully closed pesitlonDecrease down travel. Turn the DOWN limitadjustment screw clockwise. One tum equals 2" oftravel.
ff thq door reverses when closing andthere is no visible Interference to travel cycle
If the opener lights are flashing, the Safety ReversingSensor is obstructed. Remove the obstruction.
Test the door for binding: Pull the emergency releasehandle. Manually open and close the door. If the dooris binding, call for garage door service. If the door isnot binding or unbalanced, adjust the DOWN (close)force. See Adjustment Step 2.
28
Adjustment Step 2Adjust the Force
Force adjustment controls are located on the beckpanel of the opener. Force adjustment set'ringsregulate the amount of power required to open endclose the door.
The door will stop in the up direction if anythinginterferes with its travel. The door will reverse in thedown direction if anything interferes with its travel(including binding or unbalanced doors).
If the forces are set too light, door travel may beinterrupted by nuisance reversals in the downdirection end stops in the up direction. Weatherconditions can affect the door movement, sooccasional adjustment may be needed.
The maJdmumforce adjustment range is 260 degrees,about 3/4 of a complete rum. Do not force controlsbeyond that point. Tum force adjustment controlswith a screwdriver.

Do not use the force adjustments tocompensate for • binding or sticking garagedoor. Test the safety reverse system followingall adjustments to force levels. See page 30.
How and When to Adjust the Forces
Test the DOWN (close) force
Grasp the door bottom when the door is abouthalfway through DOWN (close) travel. The doorshould reverse. Reversal halfway through downtravel does not guarantee reversal on a two.inchobstruction. See page 30. If the door is hard tohold or doesnt reveme, decrease the DOWN (close)force by turning the control counterclockwise.
Make 10 degree rum adjustments until the doorreverses normally. After each adjustment, run theopener through a complete cycle.
Test the UP (open) force
Grasp the door bottom when the door is abouthalfway through UP (open) travel. The door shouldstop. if the door is hard to hold or doesn't stop,decrease UP (open) force by turning the controlcounterclockwise.
Make 10 degree tum adjustments until the door stopseasily. After each adjustment, run the opener througha complete travel cycle.
