Facing the door from inside the garage

INSTALLATION STEP 10

Install the Safety Infrared Reversing Sensors (Optional)

It is recommended that safety infrared reversing sensors be connected and aligned correctly to the garage door opener.

The force, as measured on the closing edge of the door, should not exceed 400N (40kg). If the closing force is adjusted to more than 400N, this safety system must be installed.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT

THE SAFETY REVERSING SENSORS

When properly connected and aligned, the safety infrared reversing sensors will detect an obstacle in the path of its electronic beam. The sending eye transmits an invisible light beam to the receiving eye. 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 light 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, between 100-150mm 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 brackets must be securely fastened to a solid surface such as the wall framing. 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.
