a.STB bracket extensions are available at local dealer.

b.Blocks of wood, etc. may be substituted for extensions.

•Center bracket on your mark Fig. 3-2.

•Fasten each with 2 screws [40]. Fig. 3-2. (Tongues should point toward each other.)

LED here whenever possible Fig. 3-4.

•For multiple doors.

–Preventing crossed signals is critical.

–Place source and sensor modules on

adjacent doors facing in opposite directions
