1 Install the Safety Reversing Sensors

The safety reversing sensors can be attached to the door track, the wall, or the floor. The sensors should be no more than 6 inches (15 cm) above the floor. If the door track will not support the sensor bracket a wall installation is recommended. Choose one of the following installations.

Option B WALL INSTALLATION

If additional clearance is needed an extension bracket (not provided) or wood blocks can be used. Make sure that each bracket will have the same amount of clearance so they will align correctly.

1.1B Position the sensor bracket against the wall with the curved arms facing the door. Make sure there is enough clearance for the beam to be unobstructed. Mark holes.
