1 Determine the Header Bracket Location

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 2×4 (on wall or ceiling), use lag screws (not provided) to securely fasten the 2×4 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 10 for ceiling installation.

2 Install the Header Bracket

You can attach the header bracket either to the wall above the garage door, or to the ceiling. Follow the instructions which will work best for your particular requirements. Do not install the header bracket over drywall. If installing into masonry, use concrete anchors (not provided).

OPTION A – WALL INSTALLATION

1. Center the bracket on the vertical centerline with the bottom edge of the bracket on the horizontal line as shown (with the arrow pointing toward the ceiling).
2. Mark the vertical set of bracket holes (do not use the holes designated for ceiling mount). Drill 3/16″ pilot holes and fasten the bracket securely to a structural
   support with lag screws.

OPTION B – CEILING INSTALLATION

1. Extend the vertical centerline onto the ceiling as shown.
2. Center the bracket on the vertical mark, no more than 6″ (15 cm) from the wall. Make sure the arrow is pointing toward the wall. The bracket can be mounted
   flush against the ceiling when clearance is minimal.
3. Mark the side holes. Drill 3/16″ pilot holes and fasten bracket securely to a structural support with the hardware provided.

3 Attach the Rail to the Header Bracket

1. Align the rail with the header bracket. Insert the clevis pin through the holes in the header bracket and rail. Secure with the ring fastener.
   NOTE: Use the packing material as a protective base for the garage door opener.

4 Position the Garage Door Opener

1. Remove the packing material and lift the garage door opener onto a ladder.
2. Fully open the door and place a 2×4 (laid flat) under the rail.
   A 2×4 is ideal for setting the distance between the rail and the door. If the ladder is not tall enough you will need help at this point. If the door hits the trolley when it is raised, pull the trolley release arm down to disconnect the inner and outer trolley. Slide the outer trolley toward the garage door opener. The trolley can remain disconnected until instructed.

5 Hang the Garage Door Opener

Hanging your garage door opener will vary depending on your garage. Two representative installations are shown. Yours may be different. Hanging brackets should be angled (Figure 1) to provide rigid support. On finished ceilings (Figure 2), attach a sturdy metal bracket to structural supports before installing the opener. This bracket and fastening hardware are not provided.

1. Measure the distance from each side of the motor unit to the structural support.
2. Cut both pieces of the hanging bracket to required lengths.
3. Drill 3/16″ pilot holes in the structural supports.
4. Attach one end of each bracket to a support with 5/16″-18 x 1-7/8″ lag screws (not provided).
5. Fasten the opener to the hanging brackets with 5/16″-18 x 7/8″ hex bolts, lock washers and nuts.
6. Check to make sure the rail is centered over the door (or in line with the header bracket if the bracket is not centered above the door).
7. Remove the 2×4. Operate the door manually. If the door hits the rail, raise the header bracket.
   NOTE: DO NOT connect power to opener at this time.

6 Install the Light Bulbs

1. Press the release tabs on both sides of lens. Gently rotate lens back and downward until the lens hinge is in the fully open position. Do not remove the
   lens.
2. Install a 100 watt maximum light bulb in each socket. Light bulb size should be A19, standard neck only. The lights will turn ON and remain lit for approximately 4-1/2 minutes when power is connected. Then the lights will turn OFF.
3. Reverse the procedure to close the lens.
   NOTE: If the bulbs burn out prematurely due to vibration, replace with A19, standard neck garage door opener bulbs. The use of short neck or specialty light bulbs may overheat the endpanel or light socket.

7 Attach the Emergency Release Rope and Handle

1. Insert one end of the emergency release rope through the handle. Make sure that “NOTICE” is right side up. Secure with an overhand knot at least 1″ (2.5 cm) from the end of the rope to prevent slipping.
2. Insert the other end of the emergency release rope through the hole in the trolley release arm. Mount the emergency release within reach, but at least 6 feet (1.83m) above floor, avoiding contact with vehicles to prevent accidental release and secure with an overhand knot.
   NOTE: If it is necessary to cut the emergency release rope, seal the cut end with a match or lighter to prevent unraveling. Ensure the emergency release rope and handle are above the top of all vehicles to avoid entanglement.

8 Install the Door Bracket

A horizontal and vertical reinforcement is needed for lightweight garage doors (fiberglass, aluminum, steel, doors with glass panel, etc.) (not
provided). A horizontal reinforcement brace should be long enough to be secured to two or three vertical supports. A vertical reinforcement
brace should cover the height of the top panel.
Contact the garage door manufacturer or installing dealer for opener reinforcement instructions or reinforcement kit.

NOTE: Many door reinforcement kits provide for direct attachment of the clevis pin and door arm. In this case you will not need the door bracket; proceed to the next step.

SECTIONAL DOORS

1. Center the door bracket on the previously marked vertical centerline used for the header bracket installation. Note correct UP placement, as stamped inside the bracket.
2. Position the top edge of the bracket 2″-4″ (5-10 cm) below the top edge of the door, OR directly below any structural support across the top of the door.
3. Mark, drill holes and install as follows, depending on your door’s construction:
   Metal or light weight doors using a vertical angle iron brace between the door panel support and the door bracket:
   – Drill 3/16″ fastening holes. Secure the door bracket using the two self threading screws. (Figure 1)
   – Alternately, use two 5/16″-18×2″ bolts, lock washers and nuts (not provided). (Figure 2)

Metal, insulated or light weight factory reinforced doors:
– Drill 3/16″ fastening holes. Secure the door bracket using the self-threading screws. (Figure 3)

Introduction

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:
– 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.

1 Install the Safety Reversing Sensors

The safety reversing sensors can be attached to the door track, the wall, or the floor. If the door track will not support the sensor bracket a wall installation is recommended.
Choose one of the following installations.

OPTION A – DOOR TRACK INSTALLATION

1. Slide the curved arms of the sensor bracket around the edge of the door track.
   Snap into place so that the sensor bracket is flush against the track.
2. Slide the carriage bolt into the slot on each sensor.
3. Insert the bolt through the hole in the sensor bracket and attach with the wing nut. The lenses on both sensors should point toward each other. Make sure the lens is not obstructed by the sensor bracket.

OPTION B – WALL INSTALLATION

If additional clearance is needed an extension bracket (not provided) or wood blocks can be used. Make sure each bracket has the same amount of clearance so they will align correctly.

1. Position the sensor bracket against the wall with the curved arms facing the door.
   Make sure there is enough clearance for the beam to be unobstructed. Mark holes.
2. Drill 3/16 inch pilot holes for each sensor bracket and attach the sensor brackets to the wall using lag screws (not provided).
3. Slide the carriage bolt into the slot on each sensor.
4. Insert the bolt through the hole in the sensor bracket and attach with the wing nut. The lenses on both sensors should point toward each other. Make sure the lens is not obstructed by the sensor bracket.

OPTION C – FLOOR INSTALLATION

Use an extension bracket (not provided) or wood block to raise the sensor bracket if needed.

1. Carefully measure the position of both sensor brackets so they will be the same distance from the wall and unobstructed.
2. Attach the sensor brackets to the floor using concrete anchors (not provided).
3. Slide the carriage bolt into the slot on each sensor.
4. Insert the bolt through the hole in the sensor bracket and attach with the wing nut. The lenses on both sensors should point toward each other. Make sure the lens is not obstructed by the sensor bracket.

2 Wire the Safety Reversing Sensors

PRE-WIRED INSTALLATIONS: If your garage already has wires installed for the safety reversing sensors, see page 21.

OPTION A – INSTALLATION WITHOUT PRE-WIRING

1. Run the wire from both sensors to the garage door opener. Attach the wire to the wall and ceiling with staples.
2. Strip 7/16 inch (11 mm) of insulation from each set of wires. Separate the wires.
   Twist the white wires together. Twist the white/black wires together.
3. Insert the white wires into the white terminal on the garage door opener. Insert the white/black wires into the grey terminal on the garage door opener. To insert or remove the wires from the terminal, push in the tab with a screwdriver tip.

OPTION B – PRE-WIRED INSTALLATION

1. Cut the end of the safety reversing sensor wire, making sure there is enough wire to reach the pre-installed wires from the wall.
2. Separate the safety reversing sensor wires and strip 7/16 inch (11 mm) of insulation from each end. Choose two of the pre-installed wires and strip 7/16
   inch (11 mm) of insulation from each end. Make sure that you choose the same color pre-installed wires for each sensor.
3. Connect the pre-installed wires to the sensor wires with wire nuts making sure the colors correspond for each sensor. For example, the white wire would
   connect to the yellow wire and the white/black wire would connect to the purple wire.
4. At the garage door opener, strip 7/16 inch (11 mm) of insulation from each end of the wires previously chosen for the safety reversing sensors. Twist the like- colored wires together.

5. Insert the wires connected to the white safety sensor wires to the white terminal on the garage door opener. Insert the wires that are connected to the white/black safety sensor wires to the grey terminal on the garage door opener.

Power

1 Connect Power

To avoid installation difficulties, do not activate the garage door opener at this time.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, your garage door opener has a grounding type plug with a third grounding pin. This plug will only fit into a grounding type outlet. If the plug doesn’t fit into your outlet, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet.

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.

OPTION B – PERMANENT WIRING

If permanent wiring is required by your local code, refer to the following procedure. To make a permanent connection through the 7/8 inch hole in the top
of the motor unit (according to local code):

1. Remove the motor unit cover screws and set the cover aside.
2. Remove the attached 3-prong cord.
3. Connect the black (line) wire to the screw on the brass terminal; the white (neutral) wire to the screw on the silver terminal; and the ground wire to the green
   ground screw. The opener must be grounded.
4. Reinstall the cover.

2 Ensure the Safety Reversing Sensors are Aligned

The door will not close if the sensors have not been installed and aligned correctly.
When the light beam is obstructed or misaligned while the door is closing, the door will reverse and the garage door opener lights will flash ten times. If the door is already open, it will not close. The sensors can be aligned by loosening the wing nuts, aligning the sensors, and tightening the wing nuts.

1. Check to make sure the LEDs in both sensors are glowing steadily. The LEDs in both sensors will glow steadily if they are aligned and wired correctly.

IF THE AMBER LED ON THE SENDING SENSOR IS NOT GLOWING:

1. Make sure there is power to the garage door opener.
2. Make sure the sensor wire is not shorted/broken.
3. Make sure the sensor has been wired correctly: White wires to white terminal and white/black wires to gray terminal.

IF THE GREEN LED ON THE RECEIVING SENSOR IS NOT GLOWING:

1. Make sure the sensor wire is not shorted/broken.
2. Make sure the sensors are aligned.

3 Ensure the Door Control is Wired Correctly

If the door control has been installed and wired correctly, the command LED behind the push bar will blink.

Adjustments

Introduction

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.

PROGRAMMING BUTTONS

The programming buttons are located on the back 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.

Your garage door opener is equipped with features to provide you with greater control over your garage door operation.
Alert2Close
The Alert2Close feature provides a visual and an audible alert that an unattended door is closing.
TIMER-TO-CLOSE (TTC)
The TTC feature automatically closes the door after a specified time period that can be adjusted using a TTC enabled door control (Models 881LMW or 880LMW). Prior to and during the door closing the garage door opener lights will flash and the garage door opener will beep.
MyQ®
MyQ® technology uses a 900MHz signal to provide two-way communication between the garage door opener and MyQ® enabled accessories. Your garage door opener is compatible with up to 16 MyQ® accessories.

SECURITY+ 2.0® REMOTE CONTROLS AND DOOR CONTROLS
Your garage door opener has already been programmed at the factory to operate with your remote control, which changes with each use, randomly accessing over 100 billion new codes. Compatible with MyQ® and Security+ 2.0® accessories, see page 37.

NOTE: Older LiftMaster remote controls, door controls, and third party products are not compatible.

THE PROTECTOR SYSTEM® (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 effect 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. Use an incandescent A19 light bulb (100 watt maximum).
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 31.

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.
