Install The Safety Reversal System - Craftsman CMXEOCG232 Owner's Manual

INSTALLATION STEP 12

INSTALL THE SAFETY REVERSAL SYSTEM

IMPORTANT: The safety reversing sensors MUST be connected
and aligned correctly before the garage door opener will move in the
down direction.
The Protector System® includes two safety reversing sensors which
use a light beam to prevent the garage door from closing. The sending
sensor (amber LED) transmits the beam to the receiving sensor (green
LED) when both are powered and aligned. If an obstruction breaks the
light beam while the door is closing, the door will stop, and reverse to
the full open position.
When installing the safety reversing sensors check the following:
• Sensors are installed INSIDE the garage.
• Sensor lenses are facing each other. IMPORTANT: Do not
allow direct sunlight to the receiving sensor (green LED).
• Sensor beam is NO HIGHER than 6" (15 cm) above the floor
and the light beam is unobstructed.
Safety Reversing Sensor Light Beam Protection Area
The safety reversing sensors are designed to clip onto the door track
with the provided sensor brackets. If the door track will not support the
sensor bracket a wall installation is recommended. The sensor beam
should be NO HIGHER than 6" (15 cm) above the floor.
Be sure power is NOT connected to the garage door opener
BEFORE installing the safety reversing sensor.
To prevent SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from closing garage
door:
• Correctly connect and align the safety reversing sensor.
• Install the safety reversing sensor so beam is NO HIGHER
