Mount Door Harness Mounting Brackets and Active Harness™ to the door
Loosen the top and bottom screw on each door panel hinge and slide the tab under the bolt head and re-tighten. Use black zip ties to secure the LING Harness™™ to the mounting brackets (#1). Keep first, a low-voltage plug above the top bracket (#2). The rest will be properly spaced now. (Note zip tie mounts hold excess harness at top of the door panel (#3) -addressed in Step 10.)
Locate and CLEAN the light mounting path on all 4 door panels
CLEAN very well. It’s critical to clean extremely well at this step for your lights to stick and work as designed. Typically, you will run the lights just above the natural break on each door. We recommend Acetone and rags or Rubbing Alcohol and rags. For wood doors, rubbing alcohol is better so as not to ruin the wood finish or paint.
Mount double-sided tape along cleaned light paths.
Leave paper on the tape for now (#1). (Non-insulated doors require cutting the tape at each side of the vertical door ribs on the panels (#2).) For non-insulated doors, you will need to start at the opposite end of the door from the harness and pull lights under the door ribs until you can reach the harness plug on each panel (#2). Remove the paper on the double-sided tape and the back of the lights and install sticky to sticky. Cut the excess lights off at the closest scissor mark on the light strips. Stick White Zip Tie Mounting places at the end of the LED strip and zip tie the LED wire in place (#3).
Open the door fully.
Slide the track bracket until it’s close enough to hold the door bracket to the top of the door or metal bar just under the top of the door with pressure from the contacts. It’s crucial that you align the contacts correctly from side to side Up and down is adjustable on the track bracket later— side to side is not.
Mark holes in door bracket feet (we like to use a sharpie) remove the bracket and then drill marks with a 1/8″ drill bit
Remount door
Bracket to holes using 2 screws. Use a screwdriver to tighten screws using 1/8″ holes as guides. Do not connect wires yet.
Install the track bracket and set it with a jammed bolt so
that the contacts are touching the door contacts and are compressed slightly. If installing on a single-track, low-clearance application, reverse the direction of the large “L” shaped piece so the “shaped portion can be mounted to the outside of the track and the “L” reaches back over the top. (See bottom photo for reference.)
Cycle the door open and closed a few times to make sure the brackets are positioned correctly and touch and slightly compress contacts every time. Once your positioning is good, drill with a ¼” drill bit and secure the track bracket using the long bolt and wing nut.
Mount the power supply on the side of the garage or directly to the opener housing using screws.
Mark mounting holes using the Power Supply as a guide (we like to use a Sharpie). Drill marks with 1/8″ drill bit. Use a screwdriver to install screws.
DO NOT plug into the outlet yet!!
Finish securing the harness on the door and connect it to the lights and door bracket with the contact switch.
Either by drilling directly through underneath it or bending the connectors around the surface to fit onto the threaded studs on the contact switch (#1). Zip tie mounts hold excess harness at the top of the door panel (#2).
Note in photos that the harness is not slac at the hinge points. It will flex inward when the door moves just fine. No need to leave a sloppy, saggy harness between the hinge brackets at the flex points.
Close the garage door and connect the power supply to the track contact switch through the studs. They need to match the door brake contacts Red to Red and Black to Black. The plug power supply into an outlet to energize. Open your garage door and your lights will on automatically when it’s fully open.
Troubleshooting
If there is flickering or they don’t illuminate, (with the power off!) check that the contacts are touching. The contacts are adjustable in and out by spinning the little nuts on them. You want them to touch and compress the springs a bit to keep tension with the contacts touching.
