Installation Instructions

• READ ALL STEPS BEFORE PROCEEDING
9a. Position Safe-T-Beam
®
(STB) source and sensor on each
side of garage door 5"-6" above oor. Face the lenses
towards each other.
9b. Mark bracket mounting holes; drill 3/32" pilot holes
and secure with (4) 1/4 x 1-1/4" lag screws (provided)
into wood. If mounting into concrete or block, other
fasteners are required and are available at leading
retail stores.
9c. Use garage pre-wiring if available. Otherwise,
route 2 lengths of wire (L) from powerhead,
along the rail, across the header and down both
sides of the door, to each sensor. Secure the
wire to the rail using the wire clips in the orange
bag, evenly spaced along the rail. Then use the
insulated staples to secure each wire to the wall.
9d. On the powerhead: insert both wires down
through the control wire tube. Remove 1/4"
insulation from both sets of white and striped
wire. Twist two white wires together. Using a
small at head screwdriver, press in the
orange tab at terminal 1 and insert the
wires. Twist the two striped wires together
and insert into terminal 2. Ensure the wires
are in their terminal; adjust as necessary.
9e. At each sensor, remove 1/4" insulation from
the white and striped wires and secure in
each terminal. Ensure the wires are secure at
each terminal; adjust as necessary.
CAUTION
When using insulated staples, make only snug enough to hold electrical wire in place. Staples too tight can
cause damage to wire and cause Safe-T-Beam
®
System to malfunction.

10a. Use garage pre-wiring if available. Otherwise, route wire
(L) from powerhead to the desired location for the wall
control. Secure wire with insulated staples (green bag).
10b. On the powerhead: insert wire down through
the control wire tube. Remove 1/4" insulation from
white and striped wire. Using a small at head
screwdriver, press in the orange tab and insert
the white wire in terminal 3 and the striped wire
in terminal 4. Ensure the wires are secure in each
terminal; adjust as necessary.
10c. At the wall console end of the wire, remove 1/4" insulation
from the white and striped wires and secure the white wire to
the "W" terminal and the striped wire to the "B/W" terminal
as shown. Ensure the wires are secure at each terminal; adjust as necessary.
10d. Mark the wall console mounting holes, drill 3/32" pilot holes and mount
with #6 - 1 - 1/4" screws (provided). If mounting to drywall, anchors
will be required (not provided).
10e. Post the "ENTRAPMENT WARNING LABEL" (Included in the
Operation and Maintenance Manual) next to the wall console.
WARNING
Use of any other wall control can cause unexpected operation of the door and loss of lighting feature.
Locate wall console within sight of door and far enough from door to prevent contacting it while operating
the console. Control must be at least 5 feet above oor to prevent small children from operating it.

NOTE: If pre-wiring is used, ensure that after power is applied to the powerhead (in Step 12), the wall console and
Safe-T-Beam

LEDs come on. This conrms the wiring is correct. If not, you may need to individually wire each

and wall console at the powerhead.
