Installation

STEP 1 Determine the Header Bracket Location

WARNING To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH:

• 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 intomasonry.
• 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.

Installation procedures vary according to garage door types. Follow the instructions which apply to your door.

1. Close the door and mark the inside vertical centerline of the garage door.
2. 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 (see page 16) 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 as shown here and on page 16.
3. 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:

• 2" (5 cm) above the high point for sectional door and one-piece door with track.
• 8" (20 cm) above the high point for one-piece door without track.

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.

STEP 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. Drill 3/16" pilot holes and fasten the bracket securely to a structural support with the hardware provided.

OPTION B - CEILINGINSTALLATION

1. Extend the vertical centerline onto the ceiling as shown.
2. Center the bracket on the vertical mark, nomore than 6" (15 cm) from the wall. Make sure the arrow is pointing away from 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.

STEP 3 Attach the Rail to the Header Bracket

1. Position the opener on the garage floor below the header bracket. Use packing material as a protective base. NOTE: If the door spring is in the way, you will need help. Have someone hold the opener securely on a temporary support to allow the rail to clear the spring.
2. Position the rail bracket against the header bracket.
3. Align the bracket holes and join with a clevis pin as shown.
4. Insert a ring fastener to secure.

If the garage door opener closes the door when the safety reversing sensor is obstructed (and the sensors are nomore than 6" [15 cm] above the floor), call for a trained door systems technician.

Battery Backup

STEP 1 Install the Battery

WARNING: To reduce the risk of FIRE or INJURY to persons:

• Disconnect ALL electric and battery power BEFORE performing ANY service or maintenance.
• Use ONLY Chamberlain part # G4228 for replacement battery.
• DO NOT dispose of battery in fire. Battery may explode. Check with local codes for disposal instructions.

CAUTION: ALWAYS wear protective gloves and eye protection when changing the battery or working around the battery compartment.

The battery backup allows access in and out of your garage, even when the power is out. The battery does not have to be fully charged to operate the garage door opener. When the garage door opener is operating on battery power, it may run slower and the battery status LED will glow solid orange while the motor is on. The following features are unavailable when operating on battery power:

• Garage door opener lights
• Unattended close devices and features such as myQ® App and Timer-to-Close

1. Unplug the garage door opener.
2. Open the control door panel on the front of the garage door opener
3. Partially insert the battery into the battery compartment with the terminals facing to the right as shown.
4. Connect red (+) and black (-) wires from the garage door opener to the corresponding terminals on the battery.
5. Fully insert the battery and close the control door panel.

STEP 2 Test the Battery

Depending on the power level, the battery may need to charge before performing the test. The garage door opener must be unplugged to test the battery.

1. Open and close the door using the remote control or door control. While the motor is on, the battery status LED will either glow solid orange indicating opener is operating on battery power or will flash indicating low battery power. NOTE: The garage door opener may run slower if the battery is not fully charged.

2. Plug in the garage door opener. Verify the battery status LED is flashing green, indicating the battery is charging.

Charge the Battery

The battery charges when the garage door opener is plugged into a 120Vac electrical outlet that has power and requires 24 hours to fully charge. A fully charged battery supplies 12Vdc to the garage door opener for one to two days of normal operation during an electrical power outage. After the electrical power has been restored, the battery will recharge within 24 hours. The battery will last approximately 1 to 2 years with normal usage. Instructions for replacement are provided with the battery. To obtain maximum battery life and prevent damage, disconnect the battery when the garage door opener is unplugged for an extended period of time, such as a summer or winter home.

Operation

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® App.

When the door is closed and the garage door opener is activated the door will open. If the door makes contact with an obstruction while opening, the door will stop, opener beeps and lights flash 5 times. 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 makes contact with an obstruction while closing, the door will reverse, opener beeps and lights flash 5 times. 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.

The garage door opener lights 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. The lights will turn on when someone enters through the open garage door and the safety reversing sensor infrared beam is obstructed, see Motion-Detecting Control Panel page 39. 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. While in sleep mode the opener lights and the safety sensor LEDs will turn off. The garage door opener will not go into the sleep mode until it has completed 5 cycles upon power up.
