INSTALLATIOM STEP 10
install The Protector System^
The safety reversing sensor must be connected
and aligned correctly before the garage door
opener will move in the down direction.
liyjPOBTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE SAFETY
REVERSING SENSOR
When properly connected and aligned, the sensor
will delect an obsiacfe 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
dosing, 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 iens..
The mounting brackets are designed to clip onto the
track of sectional garage doors without additional
hardware
A 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 ttie 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 iie flush, with the lip hugging the back
edge of the track, as shown in Figure 1,
If your door track will not support the bracket
securely, wall instaiiation is recommended
Walt instaltation (Figure 2 & 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 wail 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 wail.
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 ienses 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 wail and ceiling.
• Strip 1/4" (6 mm) of insulation from each set of
wires. Separate white and white/black wires
sufficiently to connect to the terminal screws; white
to 2 and white/black to 3 (Figure 6).
ALIGNING THE SAFETY REVERSING SENSORS
• Plug in the opener. The indicator lights In both the
sending and receiving eyes will glow steadily if
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 Ihe 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 until it receives the sender’s beam. When
the green indicator light glows steadily, tighten the
Figure 5
TROUBLESHOOTING THE SAFETY REVERSING
SENSORS
1. If the sending eye indicator tight does not glow
steadily ai\er inslaiiation, check for:
• Electric power to the opener.
• A short in the while 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, reaiign
either sensor.
NOTE: When the invisible beam path is obstructed
or misaligned while the door is closing, the door will
reverse, lithe door is already open, it wHi not close.
The opener lights will blink 10 times. See page 20.

INSmLLATlON STEP 11
Pastsn the Door Bracket
Follow instruciions 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 lor an opener installation
door reinforcement kit.
NOTE: Mmy vertical brace hstallatlons 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 12..
SECTIONAL DOORS
• 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) ,
• Position the bracket on the face of the door within
the following limits:
A) The top edge of the bracket 2”-4’' (5-10 cm)
below the fop edge of the door
8) 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 reinforcement BEFORE installation of
door 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 fop and bottom
fastening holes for the door bracket, fasten as shown
in Figure 2
