INSTALLATION STEP 12
INSTALL THE SAFETY REVERSAL SYSTEM
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE SAFETY REVERSING
SENSORS
The safety reversing sensors must be connected and aligned
correctly before the garage door opener will move in the down
direction.
The sending sensor (with an amber LED) transmits an invisible light
beam to the receiving sensor (with a green LED). If an obstruction
breaks the light beam while the door is closing, the door will stop and
reverse to the full open position.
When installing the safety reversing sensors check the following:
• Sensors are installed inside the garage, one on either side of
the door.
• Sensors are facing each other with the lenses aligned and the
receiving sensor lens does not receive direct sunlight.
• Sensors are no more than 6" (15 cm) above the floor and the
light beam is unobstructed.
