Garage door track installation (preferred):
•Slip the curved arms over the rounded edge of the door track. Snap into place against the side of the track. It should lie flush, with the lip hugging the back edge of the track, as shown in Figure 1.
If your door track will not support the bracket securely, wall installation is recommended.
Wall installation:
•Place the bracket against the wall with curved arms facing the door. Be sure there is enough clearance for the sensor beam to be unobstructed.
•If additional depth is needed, an extension bracket (see Accessories) or wood blocks can be used.
•Use bracket mounting holes as a template to locate and drill (2) 3/16" diameter pilot holes on the wall at each side of the door, from

•If using extension brackets or wood blocks, adjust right and left assemblies to the same distance out from the mounting surface. Make sure all door hardware obstructions are cleared.
Floor installation:
• Use wood blocks or extension brackets (see |
Accessories) to elevate sensor brackets so the lenses |
