8-10. INSTALL PHOTO EYE SAFETY SYSTEM

To provide the maximum amount of protection, the photo eye must be mounted between 3"and 5" above the floor. See Figs. 28 and 29.

MOUNTING PHOTO EYE DIRECTLY TO WALL:

■ Locate installation position. See Fig. 28.

■ Mark and drill 1/16" pilot hole into wall. (If mounting to

drywall instead of wood, drill 3/16" pilot hole and use

anchors provided).

■ Insert tapered-head screw provided for the top holder

hole into wall. Do not tighten screw so head is flush with

wall, allow screw head to protrude (approximately 3/8")

from wall.

■ Position the top slot hole on the back of the holder onto

screw and push down to lock in place.

straightness before tightening screw.

■ Repeat process for other photo eye and holder.

MOUNTING PHOTO EYE TO BRACKET:

■Locate mounting position for brackets (brackets can be mounted in any position as long as photo eye beam will have a clear path from one side of door to the other side after mounting). See Fig. 29.

■Mark and drill two 1/16" pilot holes into wall. (If mount- ing to drywall instead of wood, use anchors provided and drill two 3/16" pilot holes).

■Using round-head screws provided, secure bracket to wall.

■Attach photo eye assembly to bracket by aligning tabs and center pin and snapping into place (orient assembly so that wiring exits downward from the bottom).

■Repeat process for other bracket.

■Align photo eyes so they face each other. See Figs. 45 and 46, on p. 20. Later in this manual you will be instructed to check the operation of the photo eyes, and will be able to readjust the alignment if needed.

■Tighten wing nut on each photo eye assembly by hand. Photo eyes will now be secured in position inside holder.

NOTE: In dual door installations, the "Transmitter" and "Receiver" (as marked on each of the photo eye compo- nents) should be mounted as indicated in Fig. 30.

8-11. INSTALL WALL CONTROL PANEL

The control panel must be mounted inside the garage with- in sight of the garage door, clear of all moving garage door parts or any associated parts—and at least 5 feet above the floor to prevent the use of these controls by children. The device should only be used when the door is in clear sight of the user and the door area is free of people or any obstruc- tions.

■Attach 2-conductor wire to the screw terminal on back of control panel. See Fig. 31–1 (Back). White wire attaches to terminal #3 screw, white wire with color stripes attaches to terminal #4 screw.
