MOUNTING

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

BRACKET

 

 

 

 

Select a mounting position 5 inches above the floor

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

to center line of wall mounting bracket. The send-

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ing and receiving units should be mounted inside the

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

door opening to minimize any interference by the sun.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

However, the sensors should be mounted as close to the

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

door track or inside edge of the door as possible to offer

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“U”

 

 

 

 

maximum entrapment protection. It is very important

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

BRACKET

 

 

that both wall brackets be mounted at the same height

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

for proper alignment.

The brackets may be temporarily mounted to the jamb

 

 

 

 

LAG SCREWS

 

 

with a 1” flat head nail (provided) using the small hole

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

above the slot. Using two 5/16 x 1-1/2” lag screw (pro-

 

 

 

NUT

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

vided), permanently mount the wall mounting brackets

 

 

 

WASHER

 

 

 

 

to both door jambs. In some installations it may be nec-

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

essary to attach a wooden spacer to the wall to achieve

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

5”

 

 

the required clearance.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Attach the “U” brackets to the wall brackets with a

 

 

 

 

1/4-20 X 1/2”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

CARRIAGE BOLT

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1/4-20 carriage bolt, washer and nut (provided). In-

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

sert

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

the bolt from the inside of the “U” bracket and hand

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

tighten only at this time.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

RECEIVING UNIT

 

 

 

 

Identify which side of the garage door opening (if any)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

is “likely” to be exposed to the sun. Since sunlight

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

may affect photoelectric sensors, you should mount the

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

sending unit (not the receiving unit) on the side of the

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

door opening most exposed to the sun.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

NOTE: If wires must be lengthened or spliced into
