1. Mounting brackets.
Mark both sides of garage door frame or wall no
higher than 6" and no lower than 5" above floor
(Fig. 4-1)
.
Hold bracket against door frame or wall.
– Check if brackets extend out from wall far
enough, so tongue of bracket is beyond door,
tracks or any door hardware.
– If not:
a) Mounting bracket extensions are available
through an authorized Genie
®
Dealer.
b) Blocks of wood, etc. may be substituted for
extensions.
Center bracket on your mark (Fig. 4-2).
Fasten each with 2 screws (Fig. 4-2).
NOTE: Mounting brackets can be attached to the
floor or concrete rim using concrete anchors
(not provided).
2. Mounting Safe-T-Beam
®
Source (Red LED) and
Sensor (Green LED).
If garage has only one garage door.
– Determine which side of garage receives most
direct sunlight (Fig. 4-4).
– Red LED should always be on sunny side
whenever possible (Fig. 4-4).
For multiple doors.
– Preventing crossed signals is critical.
– Place source and sensor modules on adjacent
doors facing in opposite directions (Fig. 4-4).
NOTE: To help prevent interference from sun,
Safe-T-Beam
®
sensor with Green LED may be
placed further away from the door opening,
though extended no further out from the wall,
where it will spend more time in shadow.
Slide source/sensor onto tongue of bracket until
it clicks into place (Fig. 4-3).
3a. Wiring (If NOT
pre-wired).
Route wire from Safe-T-Beam
®
sensors to power
head using method shown in (Fig. 4-5a).
Securely fasten wires to wall and ceiling
as you go (Fig. 4-6 on next page).
– Use insulated staples.
– Staples should be snug only.
There should be no electrical power to the opener
while installing Safe-T-Beam
®
wires. If you have
plugged in the power cord—UNPLUG IT NOW!
