direction. iMPORTANTiNFORMATiONABOUTTHESAFETYREVERSING

SENSOR When properly connectedand aligned, the sensor will detect an

obstacle in the pathof its electronic beam. Thesending eye (with an amber indicator light) transmits an invisible light beamto the receiving eye (with a greenindicator light), if an obstruction

breaks the light beam while the door is closing, the door will stop and reverseto full open position, andthe opener lights will flash 10 times.

Theunits must be installed inside the garageso that the sending and receivingeyes face each other across the door, no morethan

6" (15 cm) above the floor. Either can be installed on the left or right of the door as long as the sun nevershines directly into the

receiving eye lens. Themounting brackets are designedto clip onto the track of

sectional garagedoors without additional hardware.

Be sure power is NOTconnected to the garagedoor opener BEFOREinstalling the safety reversing sensor.

To prevent SERIOUSINJURYor DEATHfrom a closing garage door:

• Correctly connect and align the safetyreversing sensor. This required safety device MUSTNOTbedisabled.

• install the safety reversingsensor so beamis NOHIGHER

than 6" (15 cm) above garagefloor.

If it is necessaryto mount the units on the wail, the brackets must besecurely fastened to asolid surface such asthe wall

framing. Extensionbrackets (see Accessories) are availableif needed.If installing in masonry construction, add a piece of wood

at eachlocation to avoid drilling extra holesin masonry if repositioning is necessary.

Theinvisible light beam path must be unobstructed. No part of the garagedoor (or door tracks, springs, hinges, rollers or other

hardware) may interrupt the beamwhile the door is closing.

Facing the doorfrom inside the garage

INSTALLINGTHE BRACKETS Besure power to the opener is disconnected. Install and align

the brackets so the sensors will face eachother across the garage door, with the beam nohigher than 6" (15 cm) abovethe floor.

They may be installed in one of three ways, as follows.

Garage doortrack installation(preferred):

* Slip the curvedarms over the rounded edge of each door track,

with the curved arms facing the door. Snap into placeagainst the side of the track. It should lieflush, with the lip hugging the

back edge of the track, asshown in Figure1.

If your door track will not support the bracket securely,wall installation is recommended.

Waftinstallation(Figure 2 & 3):

• Placethe bracketagainst the wall with curved armsfacing the door. Besure there is enough clearancefor the sensor beam to

be unobstructed.

* If additional depth is needed,an extensionbracket (see

Accessories)or wood blocks can be used.

* Usebracket mounting holes asatemplate to locate and drill

(2) 3/16" diameter pilot holeson the wall at eachside of the door, no higher than 6" (15cm) above the floor.

* Attach brackets to wall with lag screws (not provided). * If using extensionbracketsor wood blocks,adjust right and

left assembliesto the same distanceout from the mounting surface. Make sure all door hardware obstructions are cleared.

Floorinstallation(Figure 4):

* Usewood blocksor extensionbrackets (seeAccessories)to

Electrical Requirements

To avoid installationdifficulties, do not run the opener until Step 9 below.

To reducethe risk of electric shock,your garagedoor opener has a grounding type plug with a third grounding pin. This plug will

only fit into a grounding type outlet. Ifthe plug doesn't fit into the outlet you have,contact a qualified electrician to install the proper

outlet.

if permanent wiring is required byyour JocaJcode, referto the foJJowingprocedure.

To make apermanent connectionthrough the 7/8" hole in the top of the motor unit:

• Remove the motor unit cover screwsand set the coveraside.

• Remove the attached3-prong cord.

• Connect the black (line) wire to the screwon the brass terminal; the white (neutral) wire to the screw onthe silver

terminal; andthe ground wire to the green ground screw. The opener mustbe grounded.

= Reinstallthe cover. To avoid installationdifficulties, do not run the opener at this

time.

To prevent possibleSERIOUSINJURYor DEATHfrom electrocution or fire:

• Besure power is NOTconnectedto the opener, and disconnect power to circuit BEFOREremoving cover to establish permanentwiring connection.

• Garagedoor installation and wiring MUST be in compliance with ALL local electrical and building codes.

• NEVERuse anextension cord, 2-wire adapter,or change plug in ANYway to makeit fit outlet. Besure the opener is

grounded.

ALiGNiNGTHESAFETYREVERSINGSENSORS

• Plug inthe opener.The indicatorlightsin both the sending and receiving eyeswill glow steadily if wiring connections and

alignment are correct.

Thesending eyeamber indicator light will glow regardlessof alignment or obstruction. Ifthe green indicatorlightinthe

receiving eye is off, dim, or flickering (andthe invisible light beam

path is not obstructed), alignment is required:

• Loosen the sending eyewing nut and readjust, aiming directly at the receiving eye.Lock in place.

• Loosen the receiving eyewing nut and adjust the sensoruntil it receivesthe sender's beam. Whenthe green indicatorlight

glows steadily, tighten the wing nut.

TROUBLESHOOTINGTHESAFETYREVERSINGSENSORS

1. Ifthe sending eyeindicator light does not glow steadily after installation,check for:

• Electric powerto theopener.

• A short in the white or white/black wires. Thesecan occur at staples, or at opener connections.

= incorrect wiring betweensensors and opener. = A broken wire.

2. Ifthe sending eyeindicator light glows steadily but the receiving eye indicatorlightdoesn't:

= Checkalignment. = Checkfor an open wire to the receivingeye.

3. ifthe receivingeye indicatorlightis dim, realign either sensor.

NOTE:Whenthe invisible beam path is obstructed or misaligned

while the door is closing, the door will reverse.If the door is

already open,it will not close. The openerlights will flash 10 times (seepage 15).
