7/16” Wrench		AND MODEL 5120 AND 5140 DOORS.
		ALL OTHER DOORS, WHICH DO NOT HAVE
Pencil		PINCH-RESISTANT SECTION JOINTS, RE-
		QUIRE PHOTOELECTRIC EYES TO PREVENT
		POSSIBLE SEVERE OR FATAL INJURY.
		a. Select and mark with a pencil, a suitable
		mounting location no more than
		5 inches above the floor to the center line
		of wall mounting bracket. The safety
		sensors should be mounted as close to the
		door track or inside edge of the door as
		possible to offer maximum entrapment
		protection. It is very important that both
		wall mounting brackets be mounted at the
		same height for proper alignment.
		IMPORTANT! BOTH WALL BRACKETS
		MUST BE MOUNTED AT THE SAME HEIGHT
		FOR PROPER ALIGNMENT.
		b. Drill pilot holes, using a 3/16” drill bit.
		Using two 5/16” x 1-1/2” lag screws,
		permanently mount the wall mounting
		brackets to both door jambs. In some
		installations it may be necessary to attach a
		wooden spacer to the wall to achieve the
		required alignment.
		Attach the “U” brackets to the wall
		mounting brackets with 1/4”-20 x 1/2”
		carriage bolts, washers and nuts.
		Insert the bolts from the inside of the
		“U” bracket and hand-tighten.
		c. Attach the sending and receiving safety
		sensors to the “U” brackets by inserting all
		three tabs into the respective holes.
		IMPORTANT! IDENTIFY WHICH SIDE OF THE
		GARAGE DOOR IS EXPOSED TO THE MOST
		SUNLIGHT. MOUNT THE SENDING UNIT (UNIT
		WITHOUT LED) ON THE SIDE WHICH IS
		EXPOSED TO THE MOST SUN. SUNLIGHT MAY
		AFFECT THE SAFETY SENSORS, AND THIS
		POSITIONING WILL HELP REDUCE THE
		ADVERSE EFFECT SUNLIGHT MAY HAVE ON
		THE SENSOR UNIT.
