D: CONTROL AND AUXILIARY EQUIPMENT
INSTALLATION OF THE SAFE FINISH
PHOTOSYSTEM
STEP 1:
Mark the position of the SAFE
FINISH™ Photosystem as follows:
Mark a line on
the left and right door jamb (close to the door track)
FOUR (4)
inches
AND
SIX (6)
inches
above the
floor.
The top
mark is the
maximum
height and the
bottom line is
the minimum
height that the
photosystem accessory can be placed.
STEP 2:
Mount the Photosystem "L" Brackets as
follows:
A. Remove the four mounting brackets from the
package. Temporarily place the "U" shaped brackets,
one around the receiver (unit with window and red
LED) and one around the transmitter.
NOTE:
It is
easier to slip the photosystem units in from the side of
the bracket than forcing them in from the front of the
bracket.
B. Your photosystem assembly is provided with a
universal bracket set. Using either the transmitter or
receiver (window up towards the ceiling), hold the
"L" bracket and the "U" bracket set together while
moving them in between the limit marks on the door
jamb. Continue to move the photosystem assembly
within the limit marks until it clears the door
hardware.
See Illustration, above
.
Check to ensure
the window on the front of the photosystem is
within the limit marks on the door jamb
.
C. Place a mark in the center of the lag screw elongated
mounting hole. Measure its position and place a
similar mark on the opposite door jamb. The
brackets may be temporarily mounted to the jamb
with a 1" flat head nail (provided) using the small
hole above the slot. Using two 5/16" X 1-1/2” lag
screws (provided), permanently mount the "L"
bracket to both door jambs.
STEP 3
:
Connect the Photosystem as follows:
Refer to wiring diagrams on page 14 & 19 for the
Safe Finish™ Photosystem connection illustration.
A.
Remove the transmitter and receiver from their "U"
mounting brackets.
Run a wire pair (not supplied) around the garage door
jamb between the transmitter and receiver "L"
mounting brackets.
NOTE:
Leave about 12” of extra
wire at each end. Use a minimum 22 gauge solid
"trace" wire for interconnect.
B. Run a wire pair (20 or 22 gage solid wire) from the
receiver position (unit with "LED" light in the front,
may be either side of the door) back to the rear
bulkhead of the garage door opener.
NOTE:
Leave
about 12” of
extra wire at
the receiver
end and about
24” of extra
wire at the
opener end.
C. Strip
approximately
5/16” from
each wire end
at the
photosystem
units and at
the opener.
D. Using two (2) wire nuts (supplied), connect the wire
ends at the SAFE FINISH™ Photosystem transmitter
to the pigtail wire ends coming out of the transmitter
unit.
Although not required, it is recommended to
connect the trace wire ends together and the
unmarked wire ends together.
E.
Using two (2) wire nuts (supplied), connect the wire
ends at the SAFE FINISH™ Photosystem receiver to
the pigtail wire ends coming out of the receiver unit.
Although not required, it is recommended to connect
the trace wire ends together and the unmarked wire
ends together.
STEP 4
:
Final Installation
A. Attach the"U" brackets to the "L" brackets with a
1/4-20 carriage bolt, washer and hex nut (provided).
Insert the bolt from the inside of the "U" bracket and
hand tighten only at this time.
B. Place the transmitter and receiver units into their
respective "U" brackets.
