MOUNTING AND WIRING THE SAFETY SENSORS
•
Center each sensor unit in a “C” wrap with lenses
pointing toward each other across the door (see
Figure 6).
• Secure sensors with the hardware shown. Finger
tighten the wing nut on the
receiving eye
to allow for
final adjustment. Securely tighten the
sending eye
wing nut.
•
Run the wires from both sensors to the opener (see
Figure 7). Use insulated staples to secure the wire
to wall and ceiling.
•
Strip 1/4" (6 mm) of insulation from each set of
wires. Separate white and white/black wires
sufficiently to connect to the opener terminal screws:
white to 2 and white/black to 3.
ALIGNING THE SAFETY SENSORS
•
Plug in the opener. The indicator lights in both the
sending and receiving eyes will
glow steadily
if
wiring connections and alignment are correct.
The
sending
eye indicator light will glow regardless of
alignment or obstruction. If the indicator light in the
receiving eye
is off, dim, or flickering (and the invisible
light beam path is not obstructed), alignment is
required.
• Loosen the
sending eye
wing nut and readjust,
aiming directly at the receiving eye. Lock in place.
• Loosen the
receiving eye
wing nut and adjust
sensor until it receives the sender’s beam. When
the green indicator light glows steadily, tighten the
wing nut.
TROUBLESHOOTING THE SAFETY SENSORS
1. If the
sending eye
indicator light does not glow
steadily after installation, check for:
• Electric power to the opener.
• A short in the white or white/black wires. These
can occur at staples, or at opener connections.
• Incorrect wiring between sensors and opener.
• A broken wire.
2. If the
sending eye
indicator light glows steadily but
the
receiving eye
indicator light doesn't:
• Check alignment.
• Check for an open wire to the
receiving eye.
3. If the
receiving eye
indicator light is dim, realign
either sensor.
NOTE:
When the invisible beam path is obstructed
or misaligned while the door is closing, the door will
reverse. If the door is already open, it will not close.
The opener lights will blink 10 times. (If bulbs are not
installed, 10 clicks can be heard.) See page 15.
