The following are general instructions for a typical installation, refer to the
complete instructions included with the Light Curtain.
The plug-in power supply accessory (model 100MAPS) is required to power the
Light Curtain. LiftMaster Light Curtain (Model LC-36A) is an ancillary entrapment
protection device designed with 8 optical sensors that form 22 total invisible light
beams which create a cross-pattern or netting effect for maximum protection against
entrapment. If an obstruction breaks any light beam while the door is closing, the
operator will stop and reverse to the full open position. The Light Curtain Transmitter
must be installed facing the Light Curtain Receiver across the entrapment zone, 12"
(30.5 cm) above the primary monitored entrapment protection device. The minimum
installation width is 3 ft. (.91 m) and the maximum width is 33 ft. (10 m).
NOTE:
Ensure that no part of the door, door tracks, springs, hinges, rollers, cords or
other hardware interrupts the light beam while the door is closing.
INSTALLATION
1. Fasten the mounting brackets loosely to both Light Curtains with the screws
provided.
2. Measure a minimum of 12" (30.5 cm) above the safety reversing sensors. Mark
this location. The Light Curtain must be installed above this point.
3. Hold the Light Curtain up to the desired mounting location with the cable end
pointing upward. Secure the bottom mounting bracket to the mounting surface.
The mounting brackets must be securely fastened to a solid surface such as a
wall framing.
4. Make sure the Light Curtain is level and secure the upper mounting bracket to
the mounting surface.
5. Tighten the screws to secure the Light Curtain to the mounting bracket.
6. Secure the other Light Curtain to the opposite side of the door following
steps 2 - 5, making sure they are aligned.
