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 beam

to the receiving eye(with a green indicator light). If an

obstruction breaksthe light beamwhile the door is closing, the

door will stop and reverseto full open position, and the opener

lights will flash 10 times.

Theunits must be installed inside the garageso that the sending

and receivingeyes face eachother across the door, no morethan

6" (15 cm) abovethefloor. 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 thetrack of

sectional garagedoors without additional hardware.

Be sure power is not connectedto the garagedoor opener

BEFOREinstalling the safety reversing sensor.

To prevent SERIOUSINJURYor DEATHfrom a closing garage

door:

• Correctly connect and align the safety reversingsensor. This

required safety deviceMUST NOTbe disabled.

• Install the safety reversing sensor so beamis NOHIGHER

than 6"(15 cm) above garagefloor.

If it is necessaryto mount the units on the wall, the brackets

must be securelyfastenedto a solid surface such asthe wall

framing. Extensionbrackets (seeaccessories) areavailableif

needed.If installing in masonry construction, add a pieceof 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.
