IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE SAFETY REVERSING
SENSOR
Be sure power to the operator is disconnected.
When properly connected and aligned, the sensor will detect an
obstacle in the path of its electronic beam. The sending eye
(emitter with an amber indicator light) transmits an invisible
light beam to the receiving eye (receiver 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.
The units must be installed inside the garage so that the
sending (emitting) 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 brackets must be securely fastened to a solid surface such
as the wall framing. 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. If it
does, use a piece of wood to build out each sensor mounting
location to the minimum depth required for light beam
clearance.
Facing the door from inside the garage (installation procedures are the same for all door types).

INSTALLING THE BRACKETS
Be sure power to the operator is disconnected. Install and align
the brackets so the sensors will face each other across the
door/gate, with the beam no higher than 6" (15 cm) above the
floor. For sensing above 6" a second set of eyes would be
required.
Floor or Wall Mount Installation (Figure 1)
If necessary, see Figure 2 for various assembly options to fit
your application. Always use flat washer next to slot with radius
as shown in Figure 3. Insert track bolts through holes as shown.
NOTE: Putting track bolts in slots will prevent brackets from
pivoting. Attach brackets to wall with lag screws provided.
Fasten to the floor with concrete anchors (not provided).
Track Installation (Figure 3)
To mount to door track use only one bracket per side.
To vertically attach to 2" x 4" wall stud it may become necessary
to rotate bracket to prevent wood from splitting.

CONDUIT CONNECTIONS
Use a liquid tight fitting (1/2" trade size) with
sealing washer to connect to sensors. The
sensors are supplied with 36" long leads. We
recommend the use of a liquid tight junction
box near each sensor to make the connection to
the sensor leads (Figure 4). Use rigid or flexible
liquid tight conduit (depending on local codes)
from junction boxes to operator.
IMPORTANT: Use a minimum size 20 ga. copper
wire for connection between the sensors and
the operator.

WIRING FOR LIFTMASTER COMMERCIAL OPERATORS
CPS3 protector and 2-wire fail-safe door edge connections
For a 2-wire safety edge with an embedded resistor;
1. Remove the 270K resistor from the A & B terminals.
2. Connect 2-wire coil cord or cord reel to the A & B terminals.
For a 4-wire safety edge using a 2-wire coil cord;
1. Remove the 270K resistor from the A & B terminals.
2. Add the resistor to 2 of the 4 wires at the safety edge,
connect the coil cord to the other 2 safety edge wires
(Figure 1).
3. Connect the 2-wire coil cord or cord reel to the A & B
terminals.
NOTE: If the LiftMaster®photo eyes are not being connected
you must remove the JU1 and R16 resistors from the
CPS3CARD.
