1. Slip the curved arms over the rounded edge of each door track, with the curved arms
facing the door. Snap into place against the side of the track. It should lie fl ush, with
the lip hugging the back edge of the track, as shown.
If your door track will not support the bracket securely, wall installation is recommended.
OPTION B: Wall Installation
1. Place the bracket against the wall with curved arms facing the door. Be sure there is
enough clearance for the sensor beam to be unobstructed.
2. If additional depth is needed, an extension bracket (see Accessories) or wood blocks
can be used.
3. Use bracket mounting holes as a template to locate and drill (2) 3/16" diameter pilot
holes on the wall at each side of the door, no higher than 6" (15 cm) above the fl oor.
4. Attach brackets to wall with lag screws (not provided).
If using extension brackets or wood blocks, adjust right and left assemblies to the same
distance out from the mounting surface. Make sure all door hardware obstructions are
cleared.
