INSTALLING THE BRACKETS

Be sure power to the opener is disconnected. Install and align the brackets so the sensors will face each other across the garage door, with the beam no higher than 6" (15 cm) above the floor. They may be installed in one of three ways, as follows.

Garage door track installation (preferred):

ïSlip the curved arms over the rounded edge of each door track, with the curved arms facing the door. 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:

ï 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.

ï

If additional depth is needed, an extension bracket

 

or wood blocks can be used.

ï

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, no higher than 6"

 

(15 cm) above the floor.

ï

Attach brackets to wall with lag screws.

ï

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:

ï Use wood blocks or extension brackets to elevate
