WARNING
About the Photo Eye Safety System
The photo eye safety system provides protection against
entrapment while the door is closing. When properly connected
and aligned, the emitter photo eye emits an invisible infrared
light beam while the sensor photo eye monitors that beam.
If the beam is obstructed during door-closing, the entrapment
protection will be triggered and the door will stop and reverse to
the open position. The courtesy light will flash for 30 seconds
indicating an obstruction.
Installing The Photo Eye Safety System
Wall-mounting
1. Place the photo eyes facing each other on each side of
the garage door. Position the sensors so they are no
higher than 6" (15cm) above the floor, as shown in Fig.1.
2. Drill 3/16" holes using the mounting holes on the bracket
as a template. Secure with #12 x 1" lag screws
(provided).
3. Be sure brackets, when mounted, are NOT in contact with
the door track.
4. If necessary use the optional wall-mount position (Fig.1)
to better fit your door-track and improve obstacle
avoidance. To adjust the position, loosen the wing nut,
disassemble the bracket and move the photo eye to the
lower position on the holder.
5. If necessary, align the photo eyes by loosening the wing
nut . (This step may be further required in Aligning the
Photo Eye Safety System on page 16.)
Alternative Floor-mounting
1. Place the photo eyes facing each other on each side of the
garage door, as shown in Fig.2.
2. If attaching to concrete, secure the photo eyes using
concrete anchors and bolts (not provided).
3. Be sure brackets, when mounted, are NOT in contact with
the door track.
4. If necessary, align the photo eyes by loosening the wing
nut. (This step may be further required in Aligning the
Photo Eye Safety System on page 16.)
To Connect Photo Eye Safety System
1. Connect a pair of wires from either one of the photo eyes
to a pair of "PHOTO EYE" terminals on the rear of the
opener as shown in Fig. 3. Refer to Wiring Instructions
on page 13 for proper connections.
2. Repeat above step to connect the other photo eye.
3. Refer to Wiring Instructions on page 13 to ensure wires
are connected properly.
