INSTALLATION—PHOTO EYE

 

 

 

 

1.   Install the photo eye assembly on the motor mount 

side column with two 1/4-20 x 3/4-in. serrated-

flange hex screws. The mounting holes are located 

approximately 40 in. from the floor. (See Figure 33.) 

NOTE:  Photo  eyes  and  mounting  hardware  are 

shipped in the small parts carton. The two 

sets of photo eyes provided must both be 

properly installed. (See Figure 29.)

4.   Install photo eye assembly on the non-drive side 

column with two 1/4-20 x 3/4-in. serrated-flange 

hex screws. 

 

5.   Feed photo eye cable through the cord grip. 

Remove all slack in the cord between the photo eye 

and grip. Tighten the cord grip. 

NOTE:  Mounting hardware for  the  second set  of 

photo eyes has been provided. If this hard 

ware will not work for your application, any 

additional required hardware becomes the 

responsibility of the installer.

 

2.   Install the cord grip in the side column, just below 

the photo eye assembly. (See Figure 34.) 

 

3.   Feed photo eye cable through the cord grip. 

Remove all slack in the cord between the photo eye 

and grip. Tighten the cord grip. (See Figure 34.) 

 

6.   Mount the second photo eye assembly on the wall 

adjacent to the back of the door. The photo eye 

emitter and receiver are to be mounted at the same 

height as the photo eye assembly on the front of the 

door, but as close to the door as possible. 

 

Testing Photo Eye Modules

 

 

When power is on, the green light indicates the photo 

eye module is powered up. When the yellow light on 

the receiver module is also lit, the transmitter and 

receiver modules are properly aligned. 

Placing your hand in front of the receiver breaks the light 

path and causes the yellow light to go out. Removing 

your hand causes the yellow light to go back on.
