IMPORTANTINFORMATIONABOUTTHESAFETYREVERSING
SENSOR
Whenproperly connected andaligned, thesensor will detectan
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
breaksthe light beamwhile the door is closing, the door will stop
and reverseto full open position, and the openerlights will flash
10 times.
Theunits must be installed insidethe garageso that the sending
and receivingeyesface eachother acrossthe door, no more than
6" (15 cm) abovethe floor. Eithercan be installed on the left or
right of the door aslong asthe sun nevershines directly into the
receiving eyelens.
Themounting brackets are designedto clip ontothe track of
sectionalgarage doors without additional hardware.
Besure power is NOTconnectedto the garagedoor opener
BEFOREinstalling the safety reversingsensor.
To preventSERIOUSINJURYor DEATHfrom a closing garage
door:
•Correctly connect and align the safety reversing sensor.This
requiredsafety device MUSTNOTbe disabled.
• Installthe safety reversingsensor so beam is NOHIGHER
than 6"(15 cm) abovegaragefloor.
If it is necessaryto mount the units on the wall, the brackets must
be securelyfastenedto a solid surfacesuch asthe wall framing.
Extensionbrackets (seeAccessories) are availableif needed.If
installing in masonry construction, adda pieceof wood ateach
location to avoiddrilling extra holes in masonry if repositioning is
necessary.
Theinvisible light beampathmust be unobstructed. No part of the
garagedoor (or door tracks, springs, hinges, rollers or other
hardware) may interrupt the beamwhile the door is closing.
