Step 1 – Select a spot on your garage door to mount the sensor

Before you install the sensor onto the garage door, make sure the garage door is closed. The sensor assembly should be mounted on one of the vertical supports of your garage door near the bottom.

When the door is closed, the detection rod should be retracted. When the door is open, the detection rod will be extended.

Test Sensor

After learning the sensor to the Receiver unit, you may test the communication by pushing the detection rod on the sensor to its fully retracted position. If program the sensor to Zone 1, position the sensor

Step 2 – Mount the sensor onto your garage door

You can mount the sensor onto your garage door with double-sided foam tape if the sur- face of your garage door is smooth and clean enough to provide a good adhesive surface, such surface can usually be found on a metal garage door. Please ensure the surface is smooth and clean. Important: The bottom of the sensor should be 1/2 inch above the ground. (Refer to Diagram A)

For wooden garage doors, it is recommended
to mount the sensor with screws onto the	4Screws
