Install the Protector System® 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 Correctly connect and align the safety reversing sensor. This required safety device MUST NOT be disabled. l 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 Safety Reversing Sensor Safety Reversing Sensor 6" (15 cm) max. above floor 6" (15 cm) max. above floor Invisible Light Beam receiving sensor (with a green LED). If an obstruction breaks the light beam while the Protection Area 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 Sensors are installed inside the garage, one on either side of the door. l Sensors are facing each other with the lenses aligned and the receiving sensor lens does not receive direct sunlight. l Sensors are no more than 6 inches (15 cm) above the floor and the light beam is unobstructed. 19

Power 1 Connect Power THERE ARE TWO OPTIONS FOR CONNECTING POWER: OPTION A TYPICAL WIRING 1. Plug in the garage door opener into a grounded outlet. 2. DO NOT run garage door opener at this time. TYPICAL WIRING To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from electrocution or fire: l Be sure power is NOT connected to the opener, and disconnect power to circuit BEFORE removing cover to establish permanent wiring connection. l Garage door installation and wiring MUST be in compliance with ALL local electrical and building codes. l NEVER use an extension cord, 2-wire adapter, or change plug in ANY way to make it fit outlet. Be sure the opener is grounded. OPTION B PERMANENT WIRING If permanent wiring is required by your local code, refer to the following procedure.

Adjustments Introduction PROGRAMMING BUTTONS The programming buttons are located on the left side panel of the garage door opener and are used to program the travel. While programming, the UP and DOWN buttons can be used to move the door as needed. PROGRAMMING BUTTONS Without a properly installed safety reversal system, persons (particularly small UP Button children) could be SERIOUSLY INJURED or KILLED by a closing garage door. l Incorrect adjustment of garage door travel limits will interfere with proper operation of safety reversal system. Adjustment l After ANY adjustments are made, the safety reversal system MUST be tested. Button Door MUST reverse on contact with 1-1/2" (3.8 cm) high object (or 2x4 laid flat) on floor. DOWN Button Actual product may differ from image shown. To prevent damage to vehicles, be sure fully open door provides adequate clearance. To watch a short instructional video on programming your new garage door opener use your smartphone to read the QR Code below. Your garage door opener is designed with electronic controls to make setup and adjustments easy. The adjustments allow you to program where the door will stop in the open (UP) and close (DOWN) position. The electronic controls sense the amount of force required to open and close the door. The force is adjusted automatically when you program the travel. NOTE: If anything interferes with the door’s upward travel it will stop. If anything interferes with the door’s downward travel, it will reverse. UP (Open) DOWN (Close) 25
