INSTALLATION STEP 10
Install The Protector System _
The safety reversing sensor must be connected and aligned correctly before the garage door opener will move in the down direction.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT
THE SAFETY REVERSING SENSOR
When properly connected and aligned, the sensor will detect an obstacle in the path of its electronic beam. The sending eye (with an orange indicator light) transmits an invisible light beam to the receiving eye (with a green indicator light). If an obstruction breaks the light beam while the door is closing, the door will stop and reverse to full open position, and the opener lights will flash 10 times.
The units must be installed inside the garage so that the sending and receiving eyes face each other across the door, no more than 6" (15 cm) above the floor. Either can be installed on the left or right of the door as long as the sun never shines directly into the receiving eye lens.
The mounting brackets are designed to clip onto the
track of sectional garage doors without additional hardware.
•Besure poweris not connected to the garagedoor opener BEFOREinstalling the safety reversing sensor.
•To prevent SERIOUSINJURYor DEATHfrom a closing garagedoor:
-Correctly connect and align the safety reversing sensor. This required safety device MUST NOTbe disabled.
-Install the safety reversing sensor so beam is NO HIGHERthan 6" (15 cm) above garage floor.
If it is necessary to mount the units on the wall, the brackets must be securely fastened to a solid surface such as the wall framing. Extension brackets (see accessories) are available if needed. If installing in masonry construction, add a piece of wood at each location to avoid drilling extra holes in masonry if repositioning is necessary.
The invisible light beam path must be unobstructed. No part of the garage door (or door tracks, springs, hinges, rollers or other hardware) may interrupt the beam while the door is closing.
