Safe-T-Beam®Alignment Check

After turning the electrical power on, if the STB’s are not in proper alignment, the red LED (Source) will blink continuously.

To correct the problem — the brackets are flexible and can be adjusted slightly to bring the system into alignment.

When the STB’s are in alignment the red LED will stop blinking and stay on.

FIG. 6-3

NOTE: If a problem exists with the STB that is preventing the door from closing, the door can be closed by holding the wall control button in until the door is fully closed. (The remote control will not work.)
