Installation
1 Determine the Header Bracket Location
To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH: l l l l l
Header bracket MUST be RIGIDLY fastened to structural support on header wall or ceiling, otherwise garage door might NOT reverse when required. DO NOT install header bracket over drywall.
Concrete anchors MUST be used if mounting header bracket or 2x4 into masonry.
NEVER try to loosen, move or adjust garage door, springs, cables, pulleys, brackets, or their hardware, ALL of which are under EXTREME tension.
ALWAYS call a trained door systems technician if garage door binds, sticks, or is out of balance. An unbalanced garage door might NOT reverse when required.
DO NOT enable the Timer-to-Close functionality if operating either one-piece or swinging garage doors. To be enabled ONLY when operating a sectional door.
NOTE: If you are installing the garage door opener on a one-piece door, visit www.LiftMaster.com for installation instructions.
Close the door and mark the inside vertical centerline of the garage door.
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 if a torsion spring or center bearing plate is in the way; or you can attach it to the ceiling 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 2x4 (on wall or ceiling), use lag screws (not provided) to securely fasten the 2x4 to structural supports.
Open your door to the highest point of travel as shown. Draw an intersecting horizontal line on the header wall 2" (5 cm) above the high point. 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 8 for ceiling installation.

Introduction
Be sure power is NOT connected to the garage door opener BEFORE installing the safety reversing sensor.
To prevent SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from closing garage door: l l
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.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE SAFETY REVERSING SENSORS
The safety reversing sensors must be connected and aligned correctly before the garage door opener will move in the down direction.
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, and the garage door opener lights will flash 10 times.
NOTE: For energy efficiency the garage door opener will enter sleep mode when the door is fully closed. The sleep mode shuts the garage door opener down until activated. The sleep mode is sequenced with the garage door opener light bulb; as the light bulb turns off the sensor LEDs will turn off and whenever the garage door opener lights turn on the sensor LEDs will light. The garage door opener will not go into the sleep mode until the garage door opener has completed 5 cycles upon power up.
When installing the safety reversing sensors check the following:
l l l
Sensors are installed inside the garage, one on either side of the door.
Sensors are facing each other with the lenses aligned and the receiving sensor lens does not receive direct sunlight.
Sensors are no more than 6 inches (15 cm) above the floor and the light beam is unobstructed.

(SAFETY REVERSING SENSORS)
When properly connected and aligned, the safety reversing sensors will detect an obstruction in the path of the infrared beam. If an obstruction breaks the infrared beam while the door is closing, the door will stop and reverse to full open position, and the opener lights will flash 10 times. If the door is fully open, and the safety reversing sensors are not installed, or are misaligned, the door will not close from a remote control. However, you can close the door if you hold the button on the door control or keyless entry until the door is fully closed. The safety reversing sensors do not affect the opening cycle.
ENERGY CONSERVATION
For energy efficiency the garage door opener will enter sleep mode when the door is fully closed. The sleep mode shuts the garage door opener down until activated. The sleep mode is sequenced with the garage door opener light bulb; as the light bulb turns off the sensor LEDs will turn off and whenever the garage door opener lights turn on the sensor LEDs will light. The garage door opener will not go into the sleep mode until the garage door opener has completed 5 cycles upon power up.
LIGHTS
The garage door opener light bulbs will turn on when the opener is initially plugged in; power is restored after interruption, or when the garage door opener is activated. The lights will turn off automatically after
4-1/2 minutes. An incandescent A19 light bulb (100 watt maximum) or for maximum energy efficiency a
26W (100W equivalent) compact fluorescent light (CFL) bulb may be used.
Light Feature
The garage door opener is equipped with an added feature; the lights will turn on when someone enters through the open garage door and the safety reversing sensor infrared beam is broken. For added control over the light bulbs on your garage door opener, see page 29.
USING YOUR GARAGE DOOR OPENER
The garage door opener can be activated through a wall-mounted door control, remote control, wireless keyless entry or MyQ
® accessory. When the door is closed and the garage door opener is activated the door will open. If the door senses an obstruction or is interrupted while opening the door will stop. When the door is in any position other than closed and the garage door opener is activated the door will close.
If the garage door opener senses an obstruction while closing, the door will reverse. If the obstruction interrupts the sensor beam the garage door opener lights will blink 10 times. However, you can close the door if you hold the button on the door control or keyless entry until the door is fully closed. The safety reversing sensors do not affect the opening cycle. The safety reversing sensor must be connected and aligned correctly before the garage door opener will move in the down direction.

To Open the Door Manually
To Open the Door Manually
To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from a falling garage door: l l l
If possible, use emergency release handle to disengage trolley ONLY when garage door is
CLOSED. Weak or broken springs or unbalanced door could result in an open door falling rapidly and/or unexpectedly.
NEVER use emergency release handle unless garage doorway is clear of persons and obstructions.
NEVER use handle to pull door open or closed. If rope knot becomes untied, you could fall.
DISCONNECT THE TROLLEY
1. The door should be fully closed if possible.
2. Pull down on the emergency release handle.
RECONNECT THE TROLLEY
The lockout feature prevents the trolley from reconnecting automatically.
1. Pull the emergency release handle down and back (toward the opener). The door can then be raised and lowered manually as often as necessary.
2. To disengage the lockout feature, pull the handle straight down. The trolley will reconnect on the next UP or DOWN operation, either manually or by using the door control or remote control.
