When mounting the proximity sensor the magnetic portion of the sensors must be within
½
of
an inch to each other and aligned parallel to each other when the garage door is in the fully
closed position.
Once the proximity sensor is closed attach the wires to the two terminals of the sensor and
route back to the miDoor device. Be sure to route the wires such that they are free and clear of
any obstacles and do not inhibit the operation of the garage door.
If the wire is too long you can coil up the loose part or cut the wire shorter. If cutting the wire
please be sure to keep several inches of slack in the wire so that you can easily remove the
miDoor device from the wall if necessary.
If cutting the wires you will have to strip off about
¼
inch of the protective insulation. Place
each end of the wire into the proper terminals of the 7-pin terminal block. (These are the
openings labeled as “
3
Garage Door Sensor” in Figure 3 (Bottom of miDoor).)
Once the proximity sensor is installed and wired, the next step is to power up the miDoor
device. Plug in the power supply into a wall socket and plug in the power jack into the miDoor
unit. The green light should illuminate.
All that remains is to initialize the miDoor device. See the Initial Configuration section for
instructions on configuring the device.
