Installation & Operating Instructions

Safety Beam Installation (Optional Accessory)
Note: This accessory must be used for all installations
where the closing force is greater than 400N (40kg of force)
as measured at the bottom of the door.
It is highly
recommended that safety beams are included with all
installations.
Correctly installed safety beams will prevent the
door from closing if a person or object is located within the door
area. If the beam is broken during the door’s downward travel it
will reverse back to the open position. If the beam is broken
during the door’s upward travel it will stop.
STEP 1.
Install sensor brackets no higher than 100mm from the floor on each side of door (behind tracks), ensuring
they do not obstruct the door movement, see Fig 1. Ensure that the lenses are aligned. One sensor is a
sending sensor and one sensor is a receiving sensor. Avoid positioning the sensors in direct sunlight as this
could interfere with the operation of the safety beams.
STEP 2.
Note: Ensure power is disconnected from opener before continuing.
Run the wire from both sensors back to the opener ensuring that they are well supported and ensuring
they don’t interfere with the movement of the door. Cut wires to correct length and strip back
approximately 10mm. Twist both white wires together and insert into one of the Safety (PE) Beam
terminals. Twist both red wires together and insert into the other Safety (PE) Beam terminal. Place the
mini jumper on the jumper terminal, see Fig 2. If sensors are correctly aligned both red and green light will
be lit and the safety beam installation is now complete.
