1. Position Safe-T-Beam

(STB) Transmitter and Receiver on each side of garage door 5"- 6"

above oor. Face the lenses towards each other.

2. 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.

3. Use garage pre-wiring if available. Otherwise, route 2 lengths of supplied wire from

powerhead, along the ceiling, across the header and down both sides of the door, to each

sensor. Secure the wire to the ceiling and walls using the insulated staples (green bag).

4. On the powerhead: insert both wires down through the control wire channel. Remove 1/4"

insulation from both sets of white and striped wire. Twist two striped wires together. Using

a small at head screwdriver, press in the orange tab at terminal 1 and insert the wires.

Twist the two white wires together and insert into terminal 2. Ensure the wires are in their

terminal, adjust as necessary.

Doors made of Masonite, lightweight wood, berglass, and sheet metal must be properly braced before

mounting door bracket. Contact door manufacturer or distributor for any questions or concerns. The Genie

Company is not responsible for any damage caused due to an improperly braced door.

CAUTION

Les portes en masonite, bois léger, bre de verre et en tôle doivent être correctement renforcées avant

l’installation du support de la porte. Contactez le fabricant ou le distributeur de la porte si vous avez

des questions ou des préoccupations. The Genie® Company n’est pas responsable des dommages qui

pourraient résulter de l’installation d’une porte mal renforcée

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.

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.

AVERTISSEMENT

L’utilisation d’une autre commande murale pourrait produire des résultats inattendus de la porte ainsi que le

dysfonctionnement de l’éclairage. Localisez la console murale en vue de la porte et susamment loin de la porte pour éviter

tout contact pendant l’utilisation de la console. La commande doit être à une hauteur minimale de 1,5 m au-dessus du sol an

que les jeunes enfants ne puissent pas l’atteindre.

Lors de l’utilisation des agrafes isolées, serrez susamment pour tenir le l en place mais sans plus. Si

vous serrez trop, vous risquez d’endommager les ls et de provoquer le dysfonctionnement du système

Safe-T-Beam®.

CAUTION
