Safety Reversing Sensor

Safety Reversing Sensor

Without a properly installed safety reversing sensor, persons 
(particularly small children) could be SERIOUSLY INJURED or 
KILLED by a closing garage door. 

1-1/2" (3.8 cm) board 
(or a 2x4 laid flat)

Without a properly installed safety reversal system, persons 
(particularly small children) could be SERIOUSLY INJURED or 
KILLED by a closing garage door. 
•  Safety reversal system MUST be tested every month.
•  After ANY adjustments are made, the safety reversal system 

MUST be tested. Door MUST reverse on contact with 1-1/2" 
high (3.8 cm) object (or 2x4 laid flat) on the floor.

ADJUSTMENT STEP 3

Test the Safety Reversal System

TEST

•  

With the door fully open, place a 1-1/2" (3.8 cm) board 
(or a 2x4 laid flat) on the floor, centered under the 
garage door.

•  

Operate the door in the down direction. The door 

must

 

reverse on striking the obstruction.

ADJUST

•  

If the door stops on the obstruction, it is not traveling far 
enough in the down direction. Complete Adjustment 
Steps 1 and 2 Programming the Limits and Forces.

 

 

NOTE: 

On a sectional door, make sure limit adjustments 

do not force the door arm beyond a straight up and 
down position. See Figure 3, page 21.

•  

Repeat the test.

•  

When the door reverses on the 1-1/2" (3.8 cm) board
(or 2x4 laid flat), remove the obstruction and run the 
opener through 3 or 4 complete travel cycles to test 
adjustment.

•  

If the opener continues to fail the Safety Reverse Test, 
call for a trained door systems technician.

IMPORTANT SAFETY CHECK:

Test the Safety Reverse System after:

•  

Each adjustment of door arm length, limits, or force 
controls.

•  

 Any repair to or adjustment of the garage door 
(including springs and hardware).

•  

Any repair to or buckling of the garage floor.

•  

 Any repair to or adjustment of the opener.

ADJUSTMENT STEP 4

Test The Protector System

®

(Safety Reversing Sensors)

•  

Press the remote control push button to open the door.

•  

Place the opener carton in the path of the door.

•  

Press the remote control push button to close the door. 
The door will not move more than 1" (2.5 cm), and the 
opener lights will flash.

The garage door opener will not close from a remote if the 
indicator light in either sensor is off (alerting you to the fact 
that the sensor is misaligned or obstructed).

If the opener closes the door when the safety 
reversing sensor is obstructed (and the sensors are no 
more than 6" (15 cm) above the floor), call for a trained 
door systems technician.
