IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE SAFETY
REVERSING SENSOR
Be sure power to the opener 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).
This device is for use ONLY on LiftMaster Commercial Door
Operators. Use on other than recommended equipment voids
warranty, and may cause PROPERTY DAMAGE or SERIOUS
PERSONAL INJURY. Read and follow all instructions.
Have door in full open or closed position and disconnect power to
the garage door opener BEFORE installing the CDO Commercial
Protector System

INSTALLING THE BRACKETS
Figures 1, 2 and 3 show recommended assembly of the
bracket(s) and
“C” wrap based on the wall installation of the
sensors on each side of the door as shown on page 1 or on the
door tracks themselves.
Figures 4 and 5 are variations which may fit your installation
requirements better. Make sure the wraps and brackets are
aligned so the sensors will face each other across the door.
Wall or Door Track Installation Procedure
• Fasten the “C” wraps to the mounting brackets having
square holes, using hardware shown (Figure 1).
Wall Installation Procedure
• Connect each assembly to a slotted bracket, using the
hardware shown (Figure 2). Note alignment of brackets for
left and right sides of the door.
• Finger tighten the lock nuts.
• Use bracket mounting holes as a template to locate and drill
(2) 3/16" diameter pilot holes on both sides of the garage
door, 4"-6" (10-15 cm) above the floor. Do not exceed
6" (15 cm).
• Attach bracket assemblies with 1/4"x1-1/2" lag screws
(Figure 2).
• Adjust right and left side bracket assemblies to the same
distance out from mounting surface. Make sure all door
hardware obstructions are cleared. Tighten the nuts securely.
Door Track Installation Procedure
• Discard slotted bracket. Drill 3/8" holes in each track and
fasten securely with hardware (Figure 3).

MOUNTING AND WIRING THE SAFETY SENSORS
• Insert the wire connector into each sensor and push until you
hear a click. The white tab on the sensor should be flush with
the back of connector.
• Center each sensor unit in a “C” wrap with lenses pointing
toward each other across the door.
• Secure sensors with hardware as shown. Finger tighten the
wing nut on the receiving eye to allow for final adjustment.
Securely tighten the sending eye wing nut.
• Run paired wires from both sensors to the opener (Figure 6).
Use insulated staples to secure the wire to the wall and
ceiling.
• For wiring connections, see following pages:
CPS page 4
CPS-L page 4
CPSII page 5
ALIGNING THE SAFETY SENSORS
• Power up the opener. Green indicator lights in both the
sending and receiving eyes will glow steadily if wiring
connections and alignment are correct.
If the receiving eye indicator light is not glowing steadily
(and the invisible light beam path is not obstructed),
alignment is required.
• Loosen the receiving eye wing nut to allow slight rotation
of unit. Adjust sensor vertically and/or horizontally until the
green indicator light glows steadily.
• When indicator lights are glowing steadily in both units,
tighten the wing nut in the receiving eye unit.
