MOUNTING AND WIRING THE SAFETY REVERSING 
SENSORS

 •  

Slide a 1/4"-20x1/2" carriage bolt head into the slot on 
each sensor. Use wing nuts to fasten sensors to 
brackets, with lenses pointing toward each other across 
the door. Be sure the lens is not obstructed by a bracket 
extension (Figure 5).

•  

Finger tighten the wing nuts.

•  

Run the wires from both sensors to the opener. Use 
insulated staples to secure wire to wall and ceiling.

•  

Strip 7/16" (11 mm) of insulation from each set of wires. 
Separate white and white/black wires sufficiently to 
connect to the opener quick-connect terminals. Twist 
like colored wires together. Insert wires into 
quick-connect holes: white to white and white/black to 
grey (Figure 6).

ALIGNING THE SAFETY REVERSING SENSORS

•  

Plug in the opener. The indicator lights in both the 

sending

 and 

receiving eyes

 will 

glow

steadily

 if wiring 

connections and alignment are correct.

The 

sending eye

 amber indicator light will glow regardless 

of alignment or obstruction. If the green 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.

TROUBLESHOOTING THE SAFETY REVERSING 
SENSORS

1.  If the 

sending eye

 indicator light does not 

glow steadily

after installation, check for:

 • 

Electric power to the opener.

 • 

A short in the white or white/black wires. These can 
occur at staples, or at opener connections.

 • 

Incorrect wiring between sensors and opener.

 • 

A broken wire.

2.  If the 

sending eye

 indicator light 

glows

 steadily but the 

receiving eye

 indicator light doesn’t:

 • 

Check alignment.

 • 

Check for an open wire to the 

receiving

eye

.

3.  If the 

receiving eye

 indicator light is dim, realign either 

sensor.

NOTE: 

When the invisible beam path is obstructed or 

misaligned while the door is closing, the door will reverse. 
If the door is already open, it will not close. The opener 
lights will blink 10 times. See page 16.
