PRODUCT FEATURES  
Connections For Continuously Monitored  
Auxiliary Entrapment Protection Devices: The  
Allstar All-Clear™ Photosystem (light beam across the  
door opening) can be easily connected to the Opener.  
Control circuitry monitors the device continuously for  
proper operation. (Page 20) Consult the factory for  
compatibility of other auxiliary entrapment protection  
devices.  
The purpose of this booklet is to provide assembly,  
installation and operation information concerning Allstar  
Residential Garage Door Openers and related Accessory  
Products.  
NOTICE  
IT IS IMPORTANT THAT THIS  
INSTRUCTION MANUAL BE READ AND  
UNDERSTOOD COMPLETELY BEFORE  
INSTALLATION OR OPERATION IS  
ATTEMPTED.  
Constant Contact To Close: For utmost safety, the  
standard operation mode requires constant contact on the  
mechanical Push Button to close the door if an Auxiliary  
Entrapment Protection Device (see above) IS NOT  
installed or if the Device fails. In this mode of  
operation, a Radio Transmitter cannot be used to close  
the door. (Page 13 & 14)  
NOTICE  
THE IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS AND  
INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS MANUAL CANNOT  
COVER ALL POSSIBLE CONDITIONS AND  
SITUATIONS WHICH MAY OCCUR DURING  
ITS USE. IT MUST BE UNDERSTOOD THAT  
COMMON SENSE AND CAUTION MUST BE  
EXERCISED BY THE PERSON(S) INSTAL-  
LING, MAINTAINING AND OPERATING  
THE EQUIPMENT DESCRIBED HEREIN. DO  
NOT USE THIS EQUIPMENT FOR ANY  
OTHER THAN ITS INTENDED  
Momentary Contact To Close: After installing an  
Allstar Access All-Clear™ Photosystem Auxiliary  
Entrapment Protection Device the close operation mode  
is automatically converted to momentary contact of the  
mechanical Push Button, and  
a
portable Radio  
Transmitter can be used to close the door. (PageZ16)  
All-Clear™ Photosystem: An invisible infra-red  
beam of light guards the door opening and reverses a  
downward moving door if the beam is broken by a  
stationary or moving object. Allstar motor control  
circuitry constantly monitors the All-Clear Photosystem  
for proper operation.  
PURPOSE - OPERATING OVERHEAD  
GARAGE DOORS.  
OPTIONAL FEATURES:  
STANDARD FEATURES:  
Digital Radio Controls: All Openers covered in this  
Manual can be fitted with optional Allstar Radio  
Controls. Up to 19,683 private codes can be easily  
selected without use of tools. Bright transmitter LED's  
indicate operation and monitor battery condition.  
(PageZ15)  
Sensing System: A built-in sensing system detects  
obstructions during door operation. If in the downward (close)  
travel mode, the Opener will sense an obstruction and reverse  
the direction of the door. In the open mode, the Opener will  
stop. Since all doors are different, the Sensing System has  
independent adjustments for customizing the level of force  
required for the normal opening and closing of specified doors.  
( Page 18)  
Deluxe Wall Push Button Station:  
A
feature-packed accessory unit, Allstar's Deluxe Wall  
Push Button Station allows access to all of the Opener's  
functions. The Opener's built-in light can be turned on  
or off independent of door operation. A Vacation  
Switch allows the Opener to be deactivated for extended  
Close Limit Switch: In winter months it's common for  
small pieces of ice or packed snow to be trapped under the  
door. Ground swelling can also effect the close limit setting of  
the Opener. Allstar's Close Limit Switch overrides the Sensing  
System during the last one inch of closing travel and prevents  
the door from reversing if it encounters an obstruction at this  
point.  
periods of time.  
Lighted Push Buttons enhance  
nighttime use. (Page 16)  
Keyless Entry System: A tamper resistant outdoor  
keypad, the optional Allstar Plus Keyless Entry System  
features 10 Billion possible security codes. Easily  
programmable, it accommodates two separate access  
codes of 3-10 digits. Lighted Buttons enhance nighttime  
use.  
Emergency Release: A pull cord allows separation of the  
drive mechanism and manual operation of the door when  
desired, as in the event of a power failure. (Pagez11)  
Automatic Reconnection: Once power is restored, or  
automatic operation of the door is again desired, initiating  
operation in the normal manner (Push Button, Radio Control,  
etc.) will effect automatic reconnection of the Emergency  
Release Mechanism. (Page 11)

STEP 2: Raise the Tee Rail so that the Front Idler Bracket and  
Front Mounting Bracket align. Insert bolt and tighten nut loosely for  
now. Later in the installation, this nut must be tightened securely.  
STEP 3 — Sectional Doors and One Piece Doors with Track:  
Raise the Opener and rest the Power Unit on a ladder or other sturdy  
support. Open the door the full open position. Allow 2" of space  
between the Tee Rail and the top section of the door (as shown in the  
illustration, below, far left).  
STEP 3A — One Piece Doors without Track: Raise the opener  
and rest the power unit on a ladder or other sturdy support. Open the  
door to the high arc position. Allow 2” of space between the tee rail  
and the door (at the high arc position) as shown in the illustration,  
below, left. The opener will be angled as shown. This is necessary  
for proper operation.  
NOTE: Since the Opener will be secured permanently in this  
position, open and close the door a few  
104372  
times to be sure the door does not rub on the  
Tee Rail and that you have allowed the  
proper clearances before proceeding.

transmitter or receiver (window up towards the ceiling), hold the "L" bracket and the "U"  
bracket set together while moving them in between the limit marks on the door jamb. Continue  
to move the photosystem assembly within the limit marks until it clears the door hardware. See  
Illustration, left. Check to ensure the WINDOW ON THE FRONT OF THE  
PHOTOSYSTEM UNIT IS WITHIN THE LIMIT MARKS ON THE DOOR JAMB.  
C. Place a mark in the center of the lag screw elongated mounting hole. Measure its position  
and place a similar mark on the opposite door jamb. The brackets may be temporarily mounted to the jamb with a 1"  
flat head nail (provided) using the small hole above the slot. Using two 5/16" X 1-1/2” lag screws (provided),  
permanently mount the "L" bracket to both door jambs.  
STEP 3: Connect the Photosystem as follows:  
A. Remove the transmitter and receiver from their "U" mounting brackets.  
Refer to Page 21 for various wiring options for the All-Clear™ Photosystem. Steps B and C, below, describe the wiring for  
Series Connection with Receiver First, as illustrated on Page 21.  
B. Run a wire pair (not supplied) around the garage door jamb between the transmitter and receiver "L" mounting brackets.  
NOTE: Leave about 12” of extra wire at each end. Use a minimum 22 gauge solid "trace" wire for interconnect.  
C. Run a wire pair (20 or 22 gage solid wire) from the receiver position (unit with "LED" light in the front, may be either side of  
the door) back to the rear bulkhead of the garage door opener. NOTE: Leave about 12” of extra wire at the receiver end and  
about 24” of extra wire at the opener end.  
D. Using the Strip Gage on the side of each unit as a guide, strip 5/16” from each wire end at the photosystem units.  
E. Slip the wires into the Quick Wire holes marked T1 & T2 on the transmitter and connect to the Quick Wire holes marked T1 &  
T2 on the receiver. Although not required, it is suggested that the "trace" be connected to T1. Insert the remaining two wires at  
the receiver end to Quick Wire holes marked B & C on the receiver. Although not required, it is suggested that the "trace" be  
connected to Terminal B. See Wiring Diagram, page 21.  
NOTE: IF NECESSARY, WIRE ENDS CAN BE REMOVED FROM AND REINSERTED INTO THE QUICK WIRE HOLES A  
MAXIMUM OF THREE TIMES. TO REMOVE WIRE FROM THE QUICK WIRE HOLES, INSERT A SMALL SCREWDRIVER  
NO NARROWER THAN 1/8” INTO THE SLOT ABOVE THE HOLE AND PULL THE WIRE OUT. THE WIDEST POSSIBLE  
SCREW DRIVER TIP WHICH WILL FIT INTO THE SLOT SHOULD BE USED. A HEAD NARROWER THAN 1/8” CAN

suggested that the "trace" be connected to Terminal B. See Wiring Diagram, Page 21.  
STEP 5 : Final Alignment and Test  
A. Reconnect the power to the Garage Door Opener. Keep a portable transmitter with you to control the garage door opener.  
B. Place a solid object one foot in front of the transmitter or receiver. The red LED should go OFF and remain OFF until the  
object is removed. NOTE: There may be a slight delay in returning to normal depending upon how long the photosystem  
was blocked.  
C. Move to the center of the door. Make sure the red LED light is on. Move a solid object slowly through the beam.  
The LED should go OFF and then ON. If not, check the wire connections (see Step 3).  
D. At this time set or recheck the down limit adjustment and reversing system adjustment of the garage door opener following  
the procedure outlined in Steps 1 & 4, Pages 17 & 18. It is VERY IMPORTANT that the door opener's inherent features  
operate as intended before completing the photosystem tests.  
E. Place an opener insert box or a similar object (at least six inches high) on the floor at the center of the door. Now, attempt to  
close the door. The door should NOT close from the portable transmitter, but will close with constant pressure from the  
mechanical push button.  
F. Remove the obstruction from the photosystem beam’s path. Close the door. Toward the bottom of the doors downward  
movement, CAREFULLY move a solid object across the path of the beam at the center of the door. The door should  
STOP, pause for approximately one second and OPEN. Retest, breaking the beam one foot in front of both the transmitter  
and receiver unit while the door is moving downward. The door must STOP and OPEN each time. If not, re-align the  
photosystem until proper operation is obtained.  
G. Tighten all mounting screws and bolts.

INSTALLATION OF DELUXE WALL STATION  
The Allstar Plus Deluxe Wall Station is an optional accessory designed to work with any Allstar 3000 Series Operator. Connection  
to any other operator may damage the operator and/or Wall Station. Only connect one operator to each Wall Station. Do not connect  
more than one Wall Station to an Operator.  
STEP 1: After determining a suitable location, usually near the access door And at least 5 feet above the floor to prevent use by  
children, use the Wall Station as a guide to mark the mounting holes. Drill holes for drywall anchors or screws. NOTE: Do not  
mount directly to masonry walls. Use backer board.  
STEP 2: A length of 4-conductor, #22 gauge wire is required to connect the Wall Station to the garage door operator. Strip  
approximately 6” of the wire jacket from one end and 1/2” of insulation from each wire. Carefully connect one wire to each of  
the four terminals indicated, noting which color is connected to which terminal. Tighten screws, being careful that no wires are  
allowed to touch any other terminal or any other conductive part of the circuit board. Do not overtighten the terminal screws.
