Chamberlain Wall Mount Garage Door Opener RJO20 Installation

Attach the Collar to the Garage Door Opener
The garage door opener can be installed on either side of the door; see "Is Your Garage Ready?" on page 4. The illustrations shown are for installation on the left side.
1. Loosen the preset collar screws with the 3/8" open end wrench.
2. Slide the collar onto the garage door opener shaft until it stops.
3. Position the collar so the screws are facing out and accessible when attached to the torsion bar.
4. Tighten the 2 square head set screws by hand until they contact the torsion bar. Then, use a socket wrench to finish tightening the set screws by turning them 1/4 - 1/2 turn.
5. Loosely attach slotted side of mounting bracket to the same side of the garage door opener as the collar, using screws provided.
  NOTE: Do not tighten mounting bracket screws until instructed.
  WARNING: To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH, the collar MUST be properly tightened. The door may not reverse correctly or limits may be lost due to collar slip.
Position and Mount the Garage Door Opener
1. Close the garage door completely.
2. Slide the garage door opener onto the end of the torsion bar. Ensure the collar does NOT touch the bearing plate.
3. Use a level to align the garage door opener parallel to the door. Verify the mounting bracket installation wall is a solid surface, such as wood, concrete or a door/flag bracket.
  IMPORTANT: If installing on drywall, the mounting bracket MUST be attached to a stud.
4. When the garage door opener is properly aligned, mark the mounting bracket holes. If necessary, tighten collar screws on the torsion bar to hold garage door opener in place while marking holes.
  NOTE: The garage door opener does not have to be flush to the wall.
  WARNING: To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH:
  - Concrete anchors MUST used if mounting bracket 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.
  - Garage door opener MUST be mounted at a right angle to the torsion bar to avoid premature wear on the collar.
5. Remove the garage door opener from torsion bar.
6. Drill 3/16 inch pilot holes at the marked locations. Drill through metal door rail plates if necessary.
7. Slide the garage door opener back onto the torsion bar until pilot holes align with bracket.
8. Tighten the 2 square head set screws on the torsion bar. For a hollow torsion bar, tighten screws 3/4 - 1 full turn after making contact with the bar. For a solid shaft torsion bar, tighten screws 1/4 - no more than 1/2 turn after making contact with the shaft. If installing on a keyed torsion bar, DO NOT tighten the screws into the keyway.
9. Secure the mounting bracket to the wall and to the garage door opener. Use the 14-10x2" screws to secure the mounting bracket to the wall.
  NOTE: Due to torsion bars being out-of-round, the operator may wobble during operation. This is normal.
Attach the Emergency Release Rope and Handle
1. Thread one end of the rope through the hole in the top of the red handle so “NOTICE” reads right side up. Secure with an overhand knot at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) from the end of the rope to prevent slipping.
2. Thread the other end of the rope through the loop in the emergency release cable. Adjust rope length so the handle is within reach but is no lower than 6 feet (1.83 m) above the floor, and avoid contact with vehicles to avoid accidental release. Secure with an overhand knot.
  NOTE: If it is necessary to cut the rope, heat seal the cut rope end with a match or lighter to prevent unraveling.
Power Door Lock Location
1. Determine where to install the power door lock.
  - Mount the door lock on the same side as the opener. The third roller from the floor is ideal for most installations.
  - The power door lock MUST be mounted within 10 feet (3.05 m) of garage door opener with approximately a 3-inch (7.6 cm) distance between the center of a door roller and the hole for the power door lock bolt.
    WARNING: To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from a falling garage door:
    - If possible, use an emergency release handle to disengage the door ONLY when the garage door is CLOSED. Weak or broken springs or unbalanced doors could result in an open door falling rapidly and/or unexpectedly.

4. Fasten power door lock to the outside of the garage door track with 1/4"-20x1/2" screws provided.
5. Run wire up wall to garage door opener. Use insulated staples to secure wire in several places.
6. Insert wire through the bottom of the garage door opener and plug the connector into the garage door opener.
Position the Cable Tension Monitor (Required)
The cable tension monitor detects any slack in the garage door cables. When slack is detected, the garage door opener stops the door from closing, and reverses the door to stay open. The cable tension monitor MUST be connected and properly installed BEFORE the garage door opener will move in the down direction. The cable tension monitor must be installed on the same side as the garage door opener. Factory default is conﬁgured for left-side installation.
1. Determine if the cable tension monitor will be installed on the left or right side of the door.
2. For left-side installation, skip to Step 3. For right-side installation ONLY, remove the c-clip from the roller shaft, move the roller to the other side, and reinstall the c-clip.
3. Make sure the door cable is approximately 3/4" (19 mm) from the mounting surface.
4. Position the cable tension monitor 2" to 6" (5-15 cm) from the drum, and over a wood support surface.
  - Shim or add wood block if needed. The cable tension monitor MUST be ﬂ ush with the mounting surface.
  - Cable tension monitor roller must be free from obstructions.
  NOTE: No obstructions should exist that prevent the cable tension monitor from closing completely when slack is detected.
Attach the Cable Tension Monitor

Install the Protector System
The safety reversing sensor must be connected and aligned correctly before the garage door will move in the down direction. This is a required safety device and cannot be disabled.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE SAFETY REVERSING SENSOR
- When properly connected and aligned, the safety reversing sensor will detect an obstacle in the path of its electronic beam. The sending sensor (with an amber indicator light) transmits an invisible light beam to the receiving sensor (with a green indicator light). If an obstruction breaks the light beam while the door is closing, the door will stop and reverse to full open position, and the opener lights will flash 10 times.
- The sensors must be installed inside the garage so that the sending and receiving sensors face each other across the door, no more than 6 inches (15 cm) above the floor. Either sensor can be installed on the left or right of the door as long as the sun never shines directly into the receiving sensor lens.
- The mounting brackets are designed to clip onto the track of sectional garage doors without additional hardware.
- If it is necessary to mount the sensors on the wall, the brackets must be securely fastened to a solid surface such as the wall framing. Extension brackets (see accessories) are available if needed. If installing in masonry construction, add a piece of wood at each location to avoid drilling extra holes in masonry if repositioning is necessary.
- The invisible light beam path must be unobstructed. No part of the garage door (door tracks, springs, hinges, rollers or other hardware) may interrupt the beam while the door is closing.
  WARNING: Be sure power is NOT connected to the garage door opener BEFORE installing the safety reversing sensor.
  To prevent SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from 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.
  INSTALLING THE BRACKETS
  The brackets house the safety reversing sensors in a fixed, secure position so the safety reversing sensors will face each other across the garage door, with the beam no higher than 6" (15 cm) above the floor. Be sure power to the opener is disconnected.
