1.Mounting brackets.

•Mark both sides of garage door frame or wall 5" above floor. Fig. 3-1.

•Hold bracket [38] against door frame or wall.

–Check if brackets extend out from wall far enough, so tongue of bracket is beyond door, tracks or any door hardware.

–If not:

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.)

NOTE: Mounting brackets can be attached to brick walls or concrete floor using masonry anchors (not provided).

2.Mounting STB source and sensor.

• If garage has only one garage door.

–Determine which side of garage receives most direct sunlight Fig. 3-4, and place Red

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

Fig. 3-4.

NOTE:To help prevent interference from sun, STB sensors (Green LED) may be placed further from the door opening where they will spend more time in shadows.
