Installation Step 10

Install the Safety Reversing Sensor (Receiving and Sending Eyes)

Figures 2, 3 and 4 show recommended assembly of bracket(s) and "C" wrap based on the wall installation of the sensors on each side of the garage door as shown on page 16, or on the garage door tracks themselves.

Figure 5 shows variations which may fit your installation requirements better. Make sure the wraps and brackets are aligned so the sensors will face each other across the garage door.

•Fasten the "C" wraps to the mounting brackets having square holes, using the hardware shown in Figure 2.

WALL INSTALLATION ONLY

•Connect each assembly to a slotted bracket, using the hardware shown in Figure 3. Note alignment of brackets for left and right sides of the door.

•Finger tighten the lock nuts.

•Use bracket mounting holes as a template to locate and drill (2) 3/16" diameter pilot holes on both sides of the garage door, 4"-6" above the floor (but not exceeding 6"). See Warning on page 16.

•Attach bracket assemblies with 1/4"x1-1/2" lag screws as shown in Figure 3.

•Adjust right and left side bracket assemblies to the same distance out from mounting surface. Make sure all door hardware obstructions are cleared. Tighten the nuts securely.

DOOR TRACK INSTALLATION ONLY

•Discard slotted bracket. Drill 3/8" holes in each track and fasten securely with hardware as shown in Figure 4. See Warning on page 16 regarding height of sensor beam.
