To prevent SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from
electrocution or fire:
• Power MUST be DISCONNECTED BEFORE
proceeding with permanent wiring procedures.
• Garage door opener installation and wiring MUST
be in compliance with all local electrical and
building codes. Make sure the opener is ALWAYS
grounded.
• NEVER use an extension cord, 2-wire adapter or
modify the power plug in any way to make it fit the
outlet.
To prevent SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from a closing
garage door:
• The photo eye safety system MUST be installed
BEFORE connecting power.
• The photo eye safety system MUST be properly
connected and aligned BEFORE operating the
opener.
NOTICE:
The garage door opener cannot be programmed
and will not close the door until photo eye safety
system are installed and aligned.
Using the wing nut located on
the photo eyes, adjust alignment.
When the photo eye safety system
is properly aligned the green LED
(emitter) will emit a steady green
light and the red LED (sensor) will
emit a steady red light. The path of
the invisible light beam MUST NOT be obstructed. No part
of the garage door or any hardware should interfere or block
either sensor.
The emitter generates the invisible light
beam, and the sensor receives the invisible
light beam.
