The safety reversing sensor must be connected and
aligned correctly before the garage door opener will
move in the down direction.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE SAFETY
REVERSING SENSORS
When properly connected and aligned, the sensor will
detect an obstacle in the path of its electronic beam. The
sending eye (with an orange indicator light) transmits an
invisible light beam to the receiving eye (with a green indi-
cator light).
If an obstruction breaks the light beam while the door is
closing, the door will stop and reverse to full open position,
and the operator light will flash 10 times.
The photo eyes must be installed inside the garage so that
the sending and receiving eyes face each other across the
door, no higher than 6" above the floor.
Either can be installed on the left or the right of the door
as long as the sun never shines directly into the receiving
eye lens.
The mounting brackets are designed to clip onto the track
of sectional garage doors without additional hardware.
THE PROTECTOR SYSTEM
If it is necessary to mount the units on the wall, the brack-
ets must be securely fastened to a solid surface such as
the wall frame. Extension brackets are available if need-
ed. If installing in masonry construction, add a piece of
wood at each location to avoid drilling extra holes in
masonry if repositioning is necessary.
The invisible light beam path must be unobstructed. No
part of the garage door (or door tracks, springs, hinges,
rollers or other hardware) may interrupt the beam while
the door is closing.
