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 aninvisible lightbeamto thereceiving sensor (w ith a green
LED). If an obstruction breaks the lightbeamwhile thedoor is closing, the door will stop and reverse to thefull open
position, and the garage door opener lightswill flash 10 times.
NOTE: For energy efficiency the garage door opener will enter sleep mode when the door is fully closed. The sleep
modeshuts the garage door opener down until activated. The sleep mode is sequenced with the garage door opener
light bulb; as the light bulb turns offthe sensor LEDs w ill turn off andw henever thegaragedoor opener lights turn on
the sensor LEDs will light. The garage door opener will not go into thesleep modeuntil the garage door opener has
completed 5 cycles upon power up.
When installing the safety reversing sensors checkthe following:
l Sensors are installed inside the garage, one on either side of thedoor.
l Sensors are facing each other with the lenses alignedandthereceivingsensor lens does not receive direct
sunlight.
l Sensors are no more than 6 inches (15 cm) above the floor and the light beamis unobstructed.
The safety reversing sensors can beattached to the door track, the wall, or the floor. The sensors should be no more
than6 inches (15 cm) abovethefloor. If thedoor track will notsupport thesensor bracket a wall installation is
