installing Dealer or the factory for additional warning

INSTALLATION OF 2 WIRE SAFE FINISH
PHOTOSYSTEM
STEP 1: Mark the position of the SAFE
FINISH™ Photosystem as follows: Mark a line on
the left and right door jamb (close to the door track)
FOUR (4) inches AND SIX (6) inches above the
floor. The top
mark is the
maximum height
and the bottom
line is the
minimum height
that the
photosystem
accessory can be
placed.
STEP 2: Mount the Photosystem "L" Brackets as
follows:
A. Remove the four mounting brackets from the
package. Temporarily place the "U" shaped brackets,
one around the receiver (unit with window and red
LED) and one around the transmitter. NOTE: It is
easier to slip
the
photosystem
units in from
the side of the
bracket than
forcing them
in from the
front of the
bracket.
B. Your
photosystem
assembly is
provided with
a universal
bracket set.
Using either the transmitter or receiver (window up
towards the ceiling), hold the "L" bracket and the "U"
bracket set together while moving them in between the
limit marks on the door jamb. Continue to move the
photosystem assembly within the limit marks until it
clears the door hardware. See Illustration, above.
Check to ensure the WINDOW ON THE FRONT
OF THE PHOTOSYSTEM UNIT IS WITHIN
THE LIMIT MARKS ON THE DOOR JAMB.
C. Place a mark in the center of the lag screw
elongated mounting hole. Measure its position and
place a similar mark on the opposite door jamb. The
brackets may be temporarily mounted to the jamb with
a 1" flat head nail (provided) using the small hole
above the slot. Using two 5/16" X 1-1/2” lag screws
(provided), permanently mount the "L" bracket to both
door jambs.
STEP 3: Connect the Photosystem as follows:
A. Remove the transmitter and receiver from their "U"
mounting brackets.
Refer to Page 9 and 11 for various wiring options for
the Safe Finish™ Photosystem. Steps B and C,
below, describe the wiring for Series Connection with
Receiver First, as illustrated on Page 9.
B. Run a wire pair (not supplied) around the garage
door jamb between the transmitter and receiver "L"
mounting brackets. NOTE: Leave about 12” of extra
wire at each end. Use a minimum 22 gauge solid
"trace" wire for interconnect.
C. Run a wire pair (20 or 22 gage solid wire) from the
receiver position (unit with "LED" light in the front,
may be either side of the door) back to the rear
bulkhead of the garage door opener. NOTE: Leave
about 12” of extra wire at the receiver end and about
24” of extra wire at the opener end.
D.Strip approximately 5/16” from each wire end at the
photosystem units and at the opener.
E.Using two (2) wire nuts (supplied), connect the wire
ends at the SAFE FINISH™ Photosystem transmitter
to the pigtail wire ends coming out of the transmitter
unit. Although not required, it is recommended to
connect the trace wire ends together and the unmarked
wire ends together.
F. Using two (2) wire nuts (supplied), connect the
wire ends at the SAFE FINISH™ Photosystem
receiver to the pigtail wire ends coming out of
the receiver unit. Although not required, it is
recommended to connect the trace wire ends
together and the unmarked wire ends together.
