To provide the maximum amount of protection, the photo eye sensors
must be mounted between 3” and 4-1/2” above the floor (see Fig. 23).

CONNECTING WIRES TO THE PHOTO EYE SENSORS:
(if required). Fig. 22
• Open the black cover flap.
• Insert stripped end of wires into terminal holes by pushing directly into
hole (white wire in terminal #1 and wire with stripes into terminal #2).
• After inserting the wire in the proper terminal, pull on the wire to ensure
proper connection has been made. If the wire pulls out repeat the
above steps.
• Place the wires in the slot from the right side of the cover and close cover.
MOUNTING THE PHOTO EYE SENSORS TO BRACKET:
(if required). Fig. 22
• Attach the sensor cap and the sensor cap fastener to the bracket.
• Secure the photo eye sensor to the bracket with fastening wheel.
• Repeat process for the other sensor.
MOUNTING THE PHOTO EYE SENSOR BRACKETS TO WALL:
• Locate the mounting position for brackets (bracket can be mounted in any
position as long as photo eye beam will have a clear path from one side
of door to the other side after mounting).
• Use the bracket mounting holes as a template to locate and drill (2) 3/16”
diameter pilot holes on both sides of the garage door 3” to 4-1/2” above
the floor.
• Secure the bracket assemblies with 1/4” x 1-1/2” lag screws (see Fig. 23).
• Align photo eye sensors, so they face each other.
MOUNTING THE PHOTO EYE SENSORS DIRECTLY TO WALL
(optional):
• Locate the installation position (see Fig. 23).
• Remove sensors from brackets.
• Use the photo eye sensor mounting holes as a template to locate and
drill two 1/6” pilot holes into wall (if mounting to drywall instead of wood,
drill two 3/16” pilot holes).
• Secure the photo eye sensor assemblies with #6 screws and anchors
(not provided).
• Repeat process for the other photo eye sensor.
DUAL DOOR INSTALLATION:
• In dual door installations, the transmitter (TX) and the receiver (RX) photo
eye sensors (as marked on each of the photo eye components) should
be mounted (see Fig. 24).
• TX and RX marks located on the top side of the PCB, near the terminal
area (see Fig. 22).
