Wired Safety Beams Installation

Step 19 - Safety Beams (optional)

Safety Beams extend across the garage door opening. The 
Safety Beam is designed to detect an obstruction while 
the door is closing and to send a signal to the garage door 
opener to reverse or stop the door movement. One or 
two sets of Safety Beams can be connected to SDO-2v2 
opener.

Step 19.1 - Fitting the Safety Beam 

a.  Attach the mounting bracket (4) to the adjustment 

bracket (3) with the pan head screw (6) (supplied). 

(Fig. 35)

b.  Attach the bracket (2) to the Safety Beam transmitter 

with four taptite screws (m3x5) and attach the other 
side to the adjustment bracket (3) with the pan head 
screw (6) . 

(Fig. 36)

c.  Repeat steps a and b to assemble the Safety Beam 

receiver. 

d. 
e.  Mount the receiver to one side of the door and 

transmitter on the other side in line with receiver. The 
mounting surface should be rigid. ATA recommends 
the transmitter and receiver are placed in line of sight, 
with the beam 100mm above ground level (as per 
AS60335). They should also be placed as close as 
possible to the door opening. Connect as per the wiring 
diagram 

(Fig. 37).

Step 19.2 - Alignment

a.  Power up the opener with the Safety Beam connected. 

The green LED on the transmitter should turn ON to 
indicate power is present.

b.  If the receiver is connected to power and the red LED 

is 

fl

 ashing while the green LED on the transmitter is on, 

the transmitter and receiver are not aligned.

c.  Make horizontal and/or vertical adjustment on the 

transmitter and/or receiver until the red LED on the 
receiver turns on, indicating alignment. 

NOTE: The sensors need to be 100mm above 
the 

fl

 oor level however, The exact position must 

be chosen in such a manner that it suits the 
application, the environmental conditions and 
provides maximum safety protection.

Note: Three wire Safety Beam is not compatible with SDO-
2v2 opener.
