Connecting Power
To Align the Photo Eye Safety System:
1.
When the Photo Eye System is properly connected and the
power is connected, one of the Photo Eyes will emit a
steady green light. This Photo Eye is the Emitter that
generates the Invisible Light Beam.
2.
When properly aligned, the Sensor should emit a steady
red light when it senses the invisible light beam from the
Emitter.
3.
If the indication is unsteady, flashes or is dim, check for
any obstructions and adjust the position until the Sensor
gives a STEADY RED LIGHT.
Note: The path of the invisible light beam MUST NOT be
obstructed. No part of the garage door or any
hardware should interfere with the beam or the Open-
er will not close the door.

For Permanent Wiring ONLY
DO NOT OPERATE OPENER AT THIS TIME.
To Connect Power
Plug the Opener into a grounded outlet ONLY. If there is no
grounded outlet present, call a qualified electrician to replace the
outlet.
Permanent Wiring (If Required by Local Code)
1.
Remove the enclosure by removing the 6 screws located
on the sides and rear of the Opener.
2.
Cut the two wire connectors found inside and remove the
power cord.
3.
Group neutral (white) wires from power source with 2 white
(W) wires and 1 yellow (Y) wire inside the Opener.
Connect them with a wire nut (not provided).
4.
Group line (black) wires from power source with black wire
(B) inside the Opener. Connect them with a wire nut
(not provided).
5.
Secure the ground (green or bare) wire from the power
source with a grounding screw.
6. Reinstall
the
enclosure.
7.
Turn on power supply. If the wiring is properly connected,
a “click” should be heard and the light will illuminate (if a
bulb is installed). If there is no response from the Opener,
check power source and wiring.
