• Center each sensor unit in a "C" wrap with lenses
pointing toward each other across the door (see
Figure 6).
• Secure sensors with the hardware shown in Figure
7. Finger tighten the wing nut on the
receiving eye
to allow for final adjustment. Securely tighten the
sending eye
wing nut.
• Run the wires from both sensors to the opener.
Use insulated staples to secure wire to wall and
ceiling.
• Strip 1/4" of insulation from each set of wires.
Separate white and white/black wires sufficiently to
connect to the opener terminal screws: white to 2
and white/black to 3.
Aligning the Safety Sensors
• Plug in the opener. Green indicator lights in both
the sending and receiving eyes will
glow steadily
if
wiring connections and alignment are correct.
The
sending
eye indicator light will glow regardless
of alignment or obstruction. If the indicator light is
off, dim, or flickering in the
receiving eye
(and the
invisible light beam path is not obstructed),
alignment is required.
• Loosen the
sending
eye wing nut and re-adjust,
aiming directly at the receiving eye. Lock in place.
• Loosen the
receiving
eye wing nut and adjust
sensor vertically and/or horizontally until it receives
the sender’s beam. When the green indicator light
glows steadily,
tighten the wing nut.

Trouble Shooting
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 under staples or at screw terminal
connections.
• Incorrect wiring between sensors and opener.
• An open wire (wire break).
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 flash 10 times. (If bulbs are not
installed, 10 clicks are audible.) See page 21.
