Aligning the Photo Eye Safety System:
1.
When power is supplied, the Green photo eye (Emitter) will flash
until it is aligned with the Red photo eye (Sensor). The red
photo eye will not light until it is aligned with the green eye.
2.
When the Photo Eye System is properly aligned the Green
Photo Eye (Emitter) will emit a steady green light and the Red
Photo Eye (Sensor) will emit a steady red light.
3.
If either of the Photo Eye lights are unsteady, flash or dim, check
for an obstruction and carefully adjust the position of the Photo
Eyes until they give a steady green light and steady red light.
Note: The path of the invisible light beam MUST NOT be
obstructed. No part of the garage door or any hardware
should interfere or block either sensor.

For Permanent Wiring ONLY
DO NOT OPERATE OPENER AT THIS TIME.
To Connect Power
Plug the Opener into a grounded outlet ONLY. If there is no
grounded outlet present, call a qualified electrician to replace the
outlet. Use of a surge protector is highly recommended page 4.
Permanent Wiring (If Required by Local Code)
1.
Remove the enclosure by removing the 6 screws located
on the sides and rear of the Opener.
2.
Cut the two wire connectors found inside and remove the
power cord.
3.
Group neutral (white) wires from power source with 2 white
wires and 1 black wire from transformer inside the Opener.
Connect them with a wire nut (not provided).
4.
Group line (black) wires from power source with another
black wire from transformer and a brown wire inside the
Opener. Connect them with a wire nut (not provided).
5.
Secure the ground (green or bare) wire from the power
source with a grounding screw.
6.
Reinstall the enclosure.
7.
Turn on power supply. If the wiring is properly connected,
a “click” should be heard and the light will illuminate (if a
bulb is installed). If there is no response from the Opener,
check power source and wiring.
