2. INSTALLATION (CONT)
Before installing the Skylink
®
garage door closer, ensure your garage
door is equipped with an external entrapment protection device, such
as an infrared beam sensor which “sees” an object obstructing the door
without having actual contact with the object. A Garage door opener does
that not have the auto reversing mechanism should be replaced by one that
has the auto reversing mechanism feature and the garage door closer
must not be installed on garage a door opener without this feature.
Without a properly working safety reversal system, a person could be
seriously injured or killed by a closing garage door.

Step 1 – Select a spot on your garage door to mount
the sensor
Before you install the sensor onto the garage door,
make sure the garage door is closed. The sensor
assembly should be mounted on one of the vertical
supports of your garage door near the bottom.
When the door is closed, the detection rod should be retracted. When
the door is open, the detection rod will be extended.
Note:
When the garage door is opening/closing,
make sure the sensor does not interfere with
the safety reversing sensor or safety beam
sensor supplied with your existing garage
door opener.
Step 2 – Mount the sensor on to your garage door
You can mount the sensor onto your garage
door with double-sided foam tape if the sur-
face of your garage door is smooth and clean
enough to provide a good adhesive surface,
such surf ace can usually be found on a me tal
garage door. Please ensure the surface is
smooth and clean.
Important: The bottom
of the sensor should be 1/2 inch above
the ground.
(Refer to Diagram A)
For w ooden garage doors, it is recommended
to mount the sensor with screws on to the
garage door with 3 x 18 screws provided.
