MOUNTING AND WIRING THE SAFETY SENSORS
Slide a 1/4"-20x1/2" carriage bolt head into the slot
on each sensor. Use wing nuts to fasten sensors to
brackets, with lenses pointing toward each other
across the door. Be sure the lens is not obstructed
by a bracket extension. See Figure 4.
Finger tighten the wing nuts.
Run the wires from both sensors to the opener. Use
insulated staples to secure wire to wall and ceiTing.
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. The indicator lights in both the
sending and receiving eyes will glow steadily if
wiring connections and alignment are correct.
The sending eye orange indicator light will glow
regardless of alignment or obstruction. If the green
indicator light in the receiving eye is off, dim, or
flickering (and the invisible light beam path is not
obstructed), alignment is required.
Loosen the sending eye wing nut and readjust,
aiming directly at the receiving eye. Lock in place.
Loosen the receiving eye wing nut and adjust
sensor until itreceives the sender's beam. When
the green indicator light glows steadily, tighten the
wing nut.
