IMPORTANTINFORMATIONABOUT
THESAFETYREVERSINGSENSOR
When properly connectedand aligned, the sensor will detect an
obstacle in the pathof its electronic beam. Thesending eye (with
an amber indicator light) transmits an invisible light beamto the
receiving eye (with a green indicator light). If an obstruction
breaks the light beamwhile the door is closing, the door will stop
and reverseto full open position, and the opener lights will flash
10 times.
Theunits must be installed inside the garageso that the sending
and receivingeyes face eachother across the door, no morethan
6" (15cm) abovethefloor. Either can be installed on the left or
right of the door as long as the sun nevershines directly into the
receiving eye lens.
Themounting brackets are designedto clip onto thetrack of
sectional garagedoors without additional hardware.
Besure power is not connectedto the garagedoor opener
BEFOREinstalling the safety reversing sensor.
To prevent SERIOUSINJURYor DEATHfrom a closing garage
door:
•Correctly connect and align the safety reversingsensor. This
required safety device MUSTNOTbe disabled.
• Install the safety reversing sensor so beamis NOHIGHER
than 6" (15 cm) abovegaragefloor.
If it is necessaryto mount the units on the wall, the brackets
must be securelyfastenedto a solid surface such asthe wall
framing. Extensionbrackets (seeaccessories) areavailableif
needed.If installing in masonry construction, add a pieceof wood
at eachlocation to avoid drilling extra holesin masonry if
repositioning is necessary.
Theinvisible light beam path must be unobstructed. No part of
the garagedoor (or door tracks, springs, hinges, rollers or other
hardware) may interrupt the beamwhile the door is closing.
