IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE SAFETY SENSORS
When properly connected and aligned, the sensor will detect an obstacle
in the path of its electronic beam. If an obstruction breaks the light beam
while the gate is CLOSING, the gate will stop and reverse to full open
position. If an obstruction breaks the light beam while the gate is
OPENING, the gate will stop.
The sensors must be installed so that the sending and receiving eyes
face each other across the gate, no more than 24" (61 cm) above the
ground. The sensors can be installed on the left or right of the gate as
long as the sun never shines directly into the receiving eye lens.
The safety sensors must be securely fastened to a solid surface such as
metal or a treated wood post (not provided). The light beam path must
be unobstructed during normal operation of the gate.
NOTE: Due to the variety of gates and mounting applications, PVC
conduit, wire, and posts are not provided. Refer to your local hardware
store for additional hardware.

Safety Sensors
The 916GA Safety Sensor Kit is compatible with Chamberlain®Gate
Access Systems GA400D, GA420D, and GA200D. The Safety Sensors
are designed to detect an obstacle in the path of the electronic beam
and stop the gate operator. To prevent SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH:
• DISCONNECT power BEFORE installing the safety sensors.
• Correctly connect and align the safety sensors.
• Install the sensor so beam is NO HIGHER than 24" (61 cm) above
ground.
• Gate MUST be fully closed BEFORE installing the safety sensors.
• This product is for use with Chamberlain®GA400D, GA420D, and
GA200D gate operators ONLY. Use with other than recommended
equipment voids warranty, and may cause property damage or
SERIOUS personal INJURY.

Entrapment Safety Sensors
• Connect ENTRAPMENT safety sensors wires to P8 terminal.
NOTE: This will pause an opening gate until the obstruction has been
removed. Upon removing the obstruction, the gate will continue to
open. This will have no effect on the gate closing.
Open Safety Sensors
• Connect OPEN safety sensor wires to P7 terminal.
NOTE: This will pause an opening gate until the obstruction has been
removed. Upon removing the obstruction, the gate will continue to
open. This will have no effect on the gate closing.
Close Safety Sensors
• Connect CLOSE safety sensors wires to P9 terminal.
NOTE: This will reverse a closing gate to the full open position (open
limit). This will have no effect on a gate opening.
ALIGN SAFETY SENSORS
• Plug in the operator. The indicator lights in both the sending and
receiving eyes will glow steadily if wiring connections and alignment
are correct.
The sending eye indicator light will glow regardless of alignment or
obstruction. If the indicator light in the receiving eye is off, dim, or
flickering (and the invisible light beam path is not obstructed), alignment
is required.
• Loosen the sending eye wing nut and readjust, aiming directly at
the receiving eye. Lock in place.
• Loosen the receiving eye wing nut and adjust sensor until it
receives the sender’s beam. When the green indicator light glows
steadily, tighten the wing nut.
NOTE: When properly aligned, the indicator lights in both the sending
and receiving eyes will glow steadily.
TEST THE SYSTEM
1. Press the remote control button to open the gate.
2. Place an obstruction in the path of the close or entrapment sensor.
Verify the gate stops until the obstruction is removed.
3. Press the remote control button to close the gate.
The gate should stop. The gate operator will not function from a remote
if the indicator light in either sensor is off (alerting you to the fact that
the sensor is misaligned or obstructed). If the system continues to fail
the test, call for a trained gate systems technician.
Verify all other safety devices operate correctly.
TROUBLESHOOTING
If the sending or receiving LEDs do not light up after installation, please
check the following:
• Power supply to the operator. Make sure the operator is not in stand-
by mode. Power is removed from the safety circuits in this mode.
Press the reset button to wake up the operator. Circuits should be
powered and safety circuits auto-learned.
• Short-circuit in the black/white cable. This can happen beneath
clamps or at the connecting terminals.
• Incorrect wire connections between the sensor and operator. • Interruption to the power supply circuit (broken wire).
If both sensors are flashing:
• Align sensors.
• Remove obstruction.
• Erase the programming for the safety sensors - remove safety sensor.
Press learn limits button then press reset button.
