Aligning The Safety Sensors - Ryobi GD125 Operator's Manual

ALIGNING THE SAFETY SENSORS

See Figures 62 - 63.
WARNING:
DO NOT operate the garage door opener unless the
safety sensors are installed and working correctly. Failure
to properly install and ensure that the safety sensors are
working correctly can result in death or serious personal
injury.
WARNING:
The effectiveness of the safety sensors included in this
system directly relates to the placement and installation
of the sensors. Incorrect placement or installation could
prevent the sensors from working as intended and result
in death or serious personal injury.
NOTICE:
The garage door will not close unless the safety sensors
are installed, wired, and aligned correctly.
INSTALLATION
NOTICE:
This task requires the garage door opener to be
connected to a power source.
 Install and wire the safety sensors as described earlier in
the manual.
 Connect the garage door opener to an AC power supply.
NOTE: Make sure the power supply is normal household
voltage, 120 volts, AC only, 60 Hz.
 If wired correctly, the LED lights on both sensors should
shine continuously. If one or both LEDs do not come
on, unplug the garage door opener and ensure that the
sensors are wired correctly. If problem persists, refer to
the Safety Sensor Diagnostic Feedback chart later in
the manual.
 If the LED lights on both sensors shine continuously, then
the sensors are aligned and no adjustments are needed.
 If the red LED light is ON and the green LED light is
flickering, then something may be interfering with the
receiving sensor. The most common cause of interference
is direct sunlight. If necessary, remove the fasteners
securing the sensor and move it away from the garage
door opening to avoid sunlight.
 If the red LED light is ON and the green LED light is off,
then the sensors may need to be aligned.
