INSTALLATION STEP 11
Install The Protector System^
(Safety Sensors)
The safety reversing sensor must be connected and
aligned correctly before the garage door opener will
move in the down direction.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE SAFETY
REVERSING SENSOR
When properly connected and aligned, the sensor will
detect an obstacle in the path of its electronic beam. The
sending eye (with an amber indicator light) transmits an
invisible light beam to the receiving eye (with a green
indicator light). If an obstruction breaks the light beam
while the door is closing, the door will stop and reverse
to full open position, and the opener lights will flash
10 times.
The units must be installed inside the garage so that the
sending and receiving eyes face each other across the
door, no more than 6" (15 cm) above the floor. Either can
be installed on the left or right of the door as long as the
sun never shines directly into the receiving eye lens.
The mounting brackets are designed to clip onto the
track of sectional garage doors without additional
hardware.
ik WARNING
Be sure power is NOT connected to the garage door opener
BEFORE installing the safety reversing sensor.
To prevent SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from a closing
garage door:
• Correctly connect and align the safety reversing sensor.
This required safety device MUST NOT be disabled.
• Install tbe safety reversing sensor so beam is NO HIGHER
than 6" (15 cm) above garage floor.
If it is necessary to mount the units on the wall, the
brackets must be securely fastened to a solid surface
such as the wall framing. Extension brackets (see
accessories) are available if needed. If installing in
masonry construction, add a piece of wood at each
location to avoid drilling extra holes in masonry if
repositioning is necessary.
The invisible light beam path must be unobstructed. No
part of the garage door (or door tracks, springs, hinges,
rollers or other hardware) may interrupt the beam while
the door is closing.

INSTALLING THE BRACKETS
Be sure power to the opener is disconnected. Install
and align the brackets so the sensors will face each
other across the garage door, with the beam no higher
than 6" (15 cm) above the floor. They may be installed in
one of three ways, as follows.
Garage door track installation (preferred):
• Slip the curved arms over the rounded edge of each
door track, with the curved arms facing the door. Snap
into place against the side of the track. It should lie
flush, with the lip hugging the back edge of the track
(Figure 1).
If your door track will not support the bracket securely,
wall installation is recommended.
Wall installation (Figures 2 and 3):
• Place the bracket against the wall with curved arms
facing the door. Be sure there is enough clearance for
the sensor beam to be unobstructed.
• If additional depth is needed, an extension bracket
(see Accessories) or wood blocks can be used.
• Use bracket mounting holes as a template to locate
and drill (2) 3/16" diameter pilot holes on the wall at
each side of the door, no higher than 6" (15 cm) above
the floor.
• Attach brackets to wall with lag screws (not provided).
• If using extension brackets or wood blocks, adjust right
and left assemblies to the same distance out from the
mounting surface. Make sure all door hardware
obstructions are cleared.
Floor installation (Figure 4):
• Use wood blocks or extension brackets (see
Accessories) to elevate sensor brackets so the lenses
will be no higher than 6" (15 cm) above the floor.
• Carefully measure and place right and left assemblies
at the same distance out from the wall. Be sure all
door hardware obstructions are cleared.
• Fasten to the floor with concrete anchors as shown.

MOUNTING AND WIRING THE SAFETY
REVERSING SENSORS
• Slide a 1/4"-20x1/2" carriage bolt head Into the slot on
each sensor. Use wing nuts to fasten sensors to
brackets, with lenses pointing toward each other
across the door. Be sure the lens is not obstructed by
a bracket extension (Figure 5).
• Finger tighten the wing nuts.
• Run the wires from both sensors to the opener. Use
insulated staples to secure wire to wall and ceiling.
• Strip 7/16" (11 mm) of insulation from each set of
wires. Separate white and white/black wires sufficiently
to connect to the opener guick-connect terminals. Twist
like colored wires together. Insert wires into
quick-connect holes: white to white and white/black
to grey (Figure 6).
ALIGNING THE SAFETY REVERSING SENSORS
• Plug in the opener. The indicator lights in both the
sending and receiving eyes m\\ glow steadily W wiring
connections and alignment are correct.
The sending eye amber indicator light will glow
regardless of alignment or obstruction. If the green
indicator light in the receiving eye is off, dim, or flickering
(and the invisible light beam path is not obstructed),
alignment is required.
• Loosen the sending eye wing nut and readjust, aiming
directly at the receiving eye. Lock in place.
• Loosen the receiving eye wing nut and adjust sensor
Figure 5
TROUBLESHOOTING THE SAFETY
REVERSING SENSORS
1. If the sending eye indicator light does not glow steadily
after installation, check for:
• Electric power to the opener.
• A short in the white or white/black wires. These can
occur at staples, or at opener connections.
• Incorrect wiring between sensors and opener.
• A broken wire.
2. If the sending eye indicator light glows steadily but the
receiving eye indicator light doesn't:
• Check alignment.
• Check for an open wire to the receiving eye.
3. If the receiving eye indicator light is dim, realign either
sensor.
NOTE: When the 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 opener lights will blink 10 times. See page 20.

INSTALLATION STEP 12
Fasten the Door Bracket
Follow instructions which apply to your door type
as illustrated below or on the following page.
A horizontal reinforcement brace should be long
enough to be secured to two vertical supports. A
vertical reinforcement brace should cover the height
of the top panel.
The illustration shows one piece of angle iron as the
horizontal brace. For the vertical brace, two pieces of
angle iron are used to create a U-shaped support
(Figure 1). The best solution is to check with your
garage door manufacturer for an opener installation door
reinforcement kit.
NOTE: Many vertical brace installations provide for direct
attachment of the clevis pin and door arm. In this case
you will not need the door bracket; proceed to
Installation Step 13.
SECTIONAL DOORS
1. Center the door bracket on the previously marked
vertical centerline used for the header bracket
installation. Note correct UP placement, as stamped
inside the bracket (Figure 2).
2. Position the bracket on the face of the door within the
following limits:
• The top edge of the bracket 2"-4" (5-10 cm) below
the top edge of the door.
• The top edge of the bracket directly below any
structural support across the top of the door.
CAUTION
Fiberglass, aluminum or lightweight steel garage doors
WILL REQUIRE
bracket. Contact your door manufacturer for
reinforcement kit.
• Mark and drill 5/16" left and right fastening holes.
Secure the bracket as shown in Figure 1 if there is
vertical reinforcement.
If your installation doesn't require vertical reinforcement
but does need top and bottom fastening holes for the
door bracket, fasten as shown in Figure 2.

ONE-PIECE DOORS
Please read and comply with the warnings and
reinforcement instructions on the previous page. They
apply to one-piece doors also.
• Center the door bracket on the top of the door, in line
with the header bracket as shown. Mark either the left
and right, or the top and bottom holes.
• Drill 5/16" pilot holes and fasten the bracket with
hardware supplied.
If the door has no exposed framing, drill 3/16" pilot holes
and fasten the bracket with 5/16”x1-1/2" lag screws
(not provided) to the top of the door.
NOTE: The door bracket may be installed on the top
edge of the door If required for your instailation. (Refer to
the dotted line optional placement drawing.) Drili 3/16"
pilot holes and substitute 5/16"x1-1/2" lag screws (not
provided) to fasten the bracket to the door.
