Step 16: Install Wiring for Wired Infrared Safety Sensor
Identify which side of the garage
door opening (if any) the sun is
“likely” to shine on to. Since
sunlight may affect infrared safety
sensors, you should mount the
sending unit on the side of the
door opening exposed to the sun.
Uncoil the wires from the infrared
safety sensors and route the wire
up the garage wall across the
ceiling and down to the back of
the power head, as illustrated.
Tack the wires in place using
staples. Take care to run the wires
in a location where they will not
interfere with the operation of the
door and do not staple through
wire. Be sure to leave about 12” of
excess wire at each end so you
will have enough slack wire to
mount units.
Note: If wires must be lengthened or spliced into pre-
wired installation, use wire nuts or a suitable connec-
tor.
Step 17: Connecting Wired Infrared Safety Sensor to Opener
Connect Infrared Safety Sensors to power head
as per diagram. Shorten the wires as necessary
and separate the wire ends. Strip about 1/2" of
insulation off each wire and attach the wires to
the proper terminal screws, then tighten
securely, using a small blade screwdriver.
One wire has marking on it (numbers, black
stripe, etc). Be sure to observe polarity. Apply
tension to external wires to test for secure
connection. Check that the wires are stapled in
place.
