TROUBLESHOOTING THE SAFETY REVERSING SENSORS

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 safety reversing sensors and opener.

•   A broken wire.

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.

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 remote lights will blink 10 times. (If bulbs are not installed, 10 clicks can be 
heard.) See page 15.

ALIGNING THE SAFETY REVERSING 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

 amber indicator light will glow regardless of alignment or 

obstruction. If the green indicator light in the 

receiving eye

 is off, dim, or fl ickering 

(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 the safety reversing sensor until it 

receives the sender’s beam. When the green indicator light 

glows steadily

, tighten the 

wing nut.
