ATTENTION

Safety Reversing System

Information you'll need before you begin the installation of the safety reversing sensor.

The safety reversing sensor must be connected and aligned correctly before the garage door opener will move in the down direction. This is a required safety device and cannot be disabled.

WARNING

Without a properly working safety reversing sensor, persons (particularly children) could

be killed by a closing garage door. Read and follow all instructions.

To protect small children, install the safety reversing sensor so that the beam will be no higher than 4-6" above the garage floor.

CAUTION before installing the safety reversing sensor.

Be sure power to the opener is disconnected.

The sending eye transmits an invisible light beam to the receiving eye. The units can be installed on either side of the garage door as long as the sun never shines directly into the receiving eye lens.

Look at the label on the connector end of each case to identify the sensors.

The brackets must be connected and fastened so that the sending and receiving eyes face each other as shown below in Figure 1.

If an obstruction breaks the light beam while the garage door is closing, the door will stop and reverse to full open position and the opener light will flash for 5 seconds.

The brackets must be securely fastened to a solid surface such as the studs on either side of the door, or add a piece of wood at each location if installing in masonry construction.

The invisible light beam path must be unobstructed.

No part of the garage door (or door tracks, springs, hinges, rollers or other hardware) can interrupt the beam while the door is closing. If it does, use a piece of wood to build out each sensor mounting location to the minimum depth required for light beam clearance.

Figures 2 and 3 show assembly of brackets and

"C" wrap based on the recommended installation of the sensors as shown on page 19.

However, Figures 4 and 5 are variations which may fit your installation requirements better. Make sure the wraps and brackets are aligned so the sensors will face each other across the garage door.

• Fasten the "C" wraps to the mounting brackets having square holes, using the hardware shown in Figure 2.

• Connect each assembly to a slotted bracket, using the hardware shown in Figure 3.

Note the alignment of the brackets for left and right sides of the door.

• Finger tighten the lock nuts.

• Use bracket mounting holes as a template to locate and drill (2) 3/16" diameter pilot holes on both sides of the garage door, 4"-6" above the floor but not

exceeding 6". (See warning on page 19.)

• Attach bracket assemblies with 1/4"x1-1/2" lag screws as shown in Figure 3.

• Adjust right and left side bracket assemblies to the same distance out from mounting surface. Make sure all door hardware obstructions are cleared.

Tighten the nuts securely.

(see Figure 6).

• Secure sensors with the hardware shown. Finger tighten the wing nut on the receiving eye to allow for final adjustment. Securely tighten the sending

eye wing nut.

• Run the wires from both sensors to the opener.

Use insulated staples to secure wire to wall and ceiling.

• Strip 1/4" of insulation from each set of wires.

Separate white and white/black wires sufficiently to connect to the opener terminal screws: white to 2 and white/black to 3.

Aligning the Safety Sensors

• Plug in the opener. Green indicator lights in both the sending and receiving eyes will glow steadily if wiring connections and alignment are correct.

The sending eye indicator light will glow regardless of alignment or obstruction. If the indicator light is off, dim or flickering in the receiving eye (and the invisible light beam path is not obstructed), alignment is required.

• Loosen the sending eye wing nut and re-adjust, aiming directly at the receiving eye. Lock in place.

• Loosen the receiving eye wing nut and adjust sensor vertically and/or horizontally until it receives the sender’s beam. When the green indicator light

glows steadily, tighten the wing nut.

• Electric power to the opener.

• A short in the white or white/black wires. These can occur under staples or at screw terminal connections.

• Incorrect wiring between sensors and opener.

• An open wire (wire break).

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 light will flash 10 times. (If bulb is not installed, 10 clicks are audible.) See page 19.

WARNING WARNING


Fasten Door Bracket

To prevent damage to steel, aluminum, fiberglass or glass panel doors, always reinforce the inside of the door both vertically and horizontally with an angle iron.

A horizontal brace should be long enough to be secured to 2 vertical supports. A vertical brace should cover the height of the top panel.

The illustration 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.

Adjustment Section: Pages 24 – 26

Adjustment Step 1

Adjust the UP and DOWN Limits

Do not make any limit adjustments until the safety reversing sensors are completely installed.

WARNING

Improper adjustment of the travel limits could interfere with the proper operation of the safety reverse system. The door might not reverse properly when required and could

seriously injure or kill someone under it. Test the safety reverse system following all adjustments to the travel limtis. See page 26.

CAUTION

Limit adjustment settings regulate the points at which the door will stop when moving up or down.

The door will stop in the up direction if anything interferes with door travel. The door will reverse in the down direction if anything interferes with the door travel (including binding or unbalanced doors)

To operate the opener, press the Door Control button. 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 (see page 26).

Adjustment procedures are outlined below. Run the opener through a complete travel cycle after each adjustment.

Repeated operation of the opener during adjustment procedures may cause the motor to overheat and shut off. Simply wait 15 minutes and try again.

Read the procedures carefully before continuing on to Adjustment Step 2. Use a screwdriver to make limit adjustments.

How and When to Adjust the Limits

• If the door does not open completely but opens

at least five feet:

Increase up travel. Turn the UP limit adjustment screw clockwise. One turn equals 2" of travel.

NOTE: To prevent the trolley from hitting the cover protection bolt, keep a minimum distance of 2-4" between the trolley and the bolt.

• If door does not open at least 5 feet:

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" of travel.

If door still won't close completely and the trolley bumps into the pulley bracket (see page 4), try lengthening the door arm. (See page 23.) length and the door still will not close completely, lower the header bracket. See Installation Steps 1 and 2, pages 11 and 12.

• If the opener reverses in fully closed position:

Decrease down travel. Turn the DOWN limit adjustment screw clockwise. One turn equals 2" of travel.

• If the door reverses when closing and there is no visible interference to travel cycle:

If the opener light is flashing, the Safety Reversing

Sensors are either not installed, misaligned, or obstructed. See Troubleshooting, page 21.

Test the door for binding: Pull the emergency release handle. Manually open and close the door. If the door is binding, call for garage door service. If the door is not binding or unbalanced, adjust the DOWN (close) force. See Adjustment Step 2.

24

WARNING

AVERTISSEMENT


Adjust the Force

Force adjustment controls are located on the back panel of the opener. Force adjustment settings regulate the amount of power required to open and close the door.

The door will stop in the up direction if anything interferes with its travel. The door will reverse in the

down direction if anything interferes with its travel

(including binding or unbalanced doors).

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 260 degrees, about 3/4 of a complete turn. Do not force controls beyond that point. Turn force adjustment controls with a screwdriver.

WARNING

Too much force on the door will interfere with the proper operation of the safety reverse system. The door might not reverse properly when required and could seriously injure or

kill someone under it. Do not increase the force beyond the minimum required to close the door. Do not use the force adjustments to

CAUTION door. Test the safety reverse system following all adjustments to force levels. See page 26.

WARNING

AVERTISSEMENT

How and When to Adjust the Forces

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 one-inch

obstruction. See page 26. If the door is hard to hold or doesn't reverse, decrease the DOWN (close) force by turning the control counterclockwise.

Make 10 degree turn adjustments until the door reverses normally. After each adjustment, run the opener through a complete cycle.

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 10 degree turn adjustments until the door stops easily. After each adjustment, run the opener through a complete travel cycle.

Increase UP (Open) force by turning the control clockwise. Make 10 degree turn adjustments until door opens completely. Re-adjust the UP limit if necessary. After each adjustment, run the opener through a complete travel cycle.

If the door reverses during the down (close) cycle and the opener light iswn't flashing:

Increase DOWN (close) force by turning the control clockwise. Make 10 degree turn 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.

15 minutes. Try again.

Opener operates from the remote control but not from the door control:

1. Is the door control button lit? If not, Remove the bell wire from the opener terminal screws. Short the red and white terminals by touching both terminals at the same time with a piece of wire. If the opener runs, check for a faulty wire connection at the door control, a short under the staples, or a broken wire.

2. Are the wiring connections correct? Review Step 6, page 16.

The door operates from the door control, but not from the remote control:

1. Does the battery test light glow when the remote control push button is pressed? If not, replace the battery.

2. Your opener needs to re-learn a remote control code. Refer to Instructions on the opener panel.

3. Program the receiver to match the remote control code.

4. Repeat the receiver programming procedure with all remote controls.

The remote control has short range:

1. Check the battery test light. If the light is dim, change the battery.

2. Change the location of the remote control in your car.

3. Check to be sure the antenna on the back panel of opener extends fully downward.

4. Some installations may have shorter range due to a metal door, foil backed insulation, or metal garage siding.

Install Antenna Kit, Part No. 41A3504, to increase range.

Opener noise is disturbing in living quarters of home:

The garage door opens and closes by itself:

The door doesn't open completely:

The door stops but doesn't close completely:

If operational noise is a problem because of proximity of the opener to the living quarters, the Vibration Isolator Kit 41A3263 can be installed. This kit was designed to minimize vibration to the house and is easy to install.

1. Be sure that all remote control push buttons and battery indicator lights are off.

2. Remove the bell wire from the door control terminals and operate from the remote control only. If this solves the problem, the door control is faulty (replace), or there is an intermittent short on the wire between the door control and the opener.

3. Clear memory and reprogram all remote controls.

1. If the door has been working properly but now doesn't open all the way, increase the

up force. See page 25.

2. Is something obstructing the door? Remove the obstruction or repair the door.

3. If door opens at least 5 feet, the travel limits may need to be increased. One turn equals 2 inches of travel. See page 24.

Repeat the safety reverse test after the adjustment is complete.

Review the travel limits adjustment procedures on page 24.

Repeat the safety reverse test after any adjustment of door arm length, close force or down limit.

Situation

The door opens but won't close:

Having a Problem?

(continued)

Probable Cause & Solution

1. If the opener light blinks, check the safety reversing sensor. See page 21.

2. If the opener light does not blink and it is a new installation, check the down force.

See Adjustment Step 2, page 25. For an existing installation, see below.


The door reverses for no apparent reason and opener light doesn't blink:

1. Is something obstructing the door? Pull the emergency release handle. Operate the door manually. If it is unbalanced or binding, call for professional garage door service.

2. Clear any ice or snow from the garage floor area where the door closes.

3. Review the force adjustment procedures on page 25.

4. If door reverses in the fully closed position, decrease the travel limits (page 24).

Repeat safety reverse test after the adjustment is complete. The need for occasional adjustment of the force and limit settings is normal. Weather conditions in particular can affect door travel.

The door reverses for no apparent reason and opener light blinks for 5 seconds after reversing:

Check the safety reversing sensor. Remove any obstruction or align the receiving eye.

See page 21.

The opener light . . . doesn't turn on:

Replace the light bulb (75 watts maximum). Use a standard neck garage door opener bulb if regular bulb burns out.

. . . doesn't turn off:

There may be a defective ground at the ceiling or wall receptacle. The unit must be grounded.

The opener strains or maximum force is needed to operate door:

The door may be out of balance or the springs are broken. Close the door and use the emergency release handle to disconnect the trolley. Open and close the door manually.

A properly balanced door will stay in any point of travel while being supported entirely by its springs. If it does not, disconnect the opener and call for professional garage door service.

Do not increase the force to operate the opener.

The opener motor hums briefly, then won't work:

1. The garage door springs are broken. See above.

2. If the problem occurs on the first operation of the opener, door may be locked. Disable

the door lock. If the chain was removed and re-installed, the motor may be out of phase.

Remove the chain; cycle the motor to the down position. Observe the drive sprocket.

When it turns in a clockwise direction and stops in the down position, reinstall the chain.


The opener won't operate due to power failure:

1. Use the emergency release rope and handle to disconnect the trolley. The door can be opened and closed manually. When power is restored, press the door control button and trolley will automatically reconnect (unless trolley is in lockout position.)

See page 28.

2. The Emergency Key Release accessory (for use on garages with no service door) disconnects the trolley from outside the garage in case of power failure.

The chain droops or sags:

It is normal for the chain to droop slightly in the closed door position. Use the emergency release rope and handle to disconnect the trolley. If the chain returns to the normal height when the trolley is disengaged and the door reverses on a one-inch board (or a 2x4 laid flat), no adjustments are needed. (See page 10.)
