INSTALLING THE BRACKETS

Figure 1, 2 and 3 show recommended assembly of bracket(s) and “C” wrap based on the wall installation of the sensors on each side of the garage door as shown on page 15, or on the garage door tracks themselves.

Figure 4 and 5 are variations which may fit your installation requirements better. Make sure the wraps and brackets are aligned so the sensors will face each other across the garage door.

Garage Wall or Door Track Installation

1.Fasten the “C” wraps to the mounting brackets having square holes, using th hardware shown in Figure 1.

4.Use bracket mounting holes as a template to locate and drill

(2) 3/16" diameter pilot holes on both sides of the garage door, 4"-6" (10-15 cm) above the floor but not exceeding 6" (15 cm) (see warning on page 15).

5.Attach bracket assembly with 1/4"x1-1/2" lag screws as shown in Figure 2.

6.Adjust right and left bracket assemblies to the same distance out from mounting surface. Make sure all door hardware obstructions are cleared. Tighten the nuts securely.
