OPTION B - PRE-WIRED INSTALLATION
1.
Cut the end of the safety reversing sensor wire, making sure there is enough wire to reach the pre-installed
wires from the wall.
2.
Separate the safety reversing sensor wires and strip 7/16 inch (11 mm) of insulation from each end.
Choose two of the pre-installed wires and strip 7/16 inch (11 mm) of insulation from each end. Make sure
that you choose the same color pre-installed wires for each sensor.
3.
Connect the pre-installed wires to the sensor wires with wire nuts making sure the colors correspond for
each sensor. For example, the white wire would connect to the yellow wire and the white/black wire would
connect to the purple wire.
4.
At the garage door opener, strip 7/16 inch (11 mm) of insulation from each end of the wires previously
chosen for the safety reversing sensors. Twist the like-colored wires together.
5.
