MOUNTING AND WIRING THE SAFETY REVERSING
SENSORS
• Slide a 1/4"-20x1/2" carriage bolt head into the slot on
each sensor. Use wing nuts to fasten safety reversing
sensors to brackets, with lenses pointing toward each
other across the door. Be sure the lens is not obstructed
by a bracket extension (Figure 5).
• Finger tighten the wing nuts.
•
Run the wires from both safety reversing sensors to the
opener. Use insulated staples to secure wire to wall
and ceiling.
• Strip 7/16" (11 mm) of insulation from each set of wires.
Separate white and white/black wires sufficiently to
connect to the opener quick-connect terminals: white to
white and white/black to grey (Figure 6).
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 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 the safety
reversing sensor until it receives the sender’s beam.
When the green indicator light
glows steadily
, tighten the
wing nut.
TROUBLESHOOTING THE SAFETY REVERSING
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 safety reversing 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 remote lights will blink 10 times. (If bulbs are not
installed, 10 clicks can be heard.) See page 11.
