WIRETHE DOORCONTROL TO THE GARAGEDOOROPENER
(FIGURE4)
Pre-wired installations:When wiring the door control to the
garage door opener make sure you use the same wires that are
connected to the door control.
1. Run the white and red/white wire from the door control to the
garage door opener. Attach the wire to the wall and ceiling with
the staples (not applicable for gang box or pre-wired
installations). Do not piercethe wire with the staple as this may
cause a short or an open circuit.
2. Strip 7/16 inch (11 mm) of insulation from the other end of the
wire near the garage door opener.
3. Connect the wire to the red and white terminals on the garage
door opener.

IMPORTANTINFORMATIONABOUTTHE SAFETYREVERSING
SENSOR
The safety reversing sensor 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. Thesleep 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
ing sensors check the following:
Be sure power is NOTconnected to the garage door opener
BEFORE installing the safety reversing sensor.
To prevent SERIOUSINJURY or DEATHfrom a closing garage
door:
• 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.
• 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.
