®
Be sure power is NOT connected to the garage door opener BEFORE installing the safetyreversing
sensor.
To preventSERIOUS INJURY or DEATHfrom closing garage door:
• Correctly connect and align the safetyreversing sensor.Thisrequired safetydevice MUST NOT be
disabled.
• Install the safetyreversing sensor so beam is NO HIGHER than 6" (15 cm) above garage floor.
IMPORTANTINFORMATIONABOUTTHESAFETYREVERSINGSENSORS
The safety reversing sensors must be connected and aligned correctly before the garage door
opener will move in the down direction.
The sending sensor (with an amber LED) transmits an invisible lightbeam to the receiving sensor (with a
green LED). If an obstruction breaks the lightbeam while the door is closing, the door will stop and
reverse to the full open position, and the garage door opener lights will flash 10 times.
NOTE: For energy efficiency the garage door opener will enter sleep mode when the door is fully
closed. The sleep mode shuts the garage door opener down until activated. The sleep mode is
sequenced with the garage door opener light bulb; as the light bulb turns off the sensor LEDs will turn off
and whenever the garage door opener lights turn on the sensor LEDs will light. The garage door opener
will not go into the sleep mode until the garage door opener has completed 5 cycles upon power up.
NOTE: When installing the safety reversing sensors check the following:
l
Sensorsare installed inside the garage, one on either side of the door.
l
Sensorsare facing each other with the lenses aligned and receiving sensor lens doesnot
receive directsunlight.
l
Sensorsare no more than 6 inches (15 cm) above the floor and the lightbeam is
unobstructed.
