ALIGNING THE SAFETY REVERSING SENSORS

• Plug in the opener. The indicator lights in both the

sending and receiving eyes will glow steadily if wiring

connections and alignment are correct.

The sending eye amber indicator light will glow regardless
of alignment or obstruction. If the green indicator light in
the receiving eye is off, dim, or fl ickering (and the invisible
light beam path is not obstructed), alignment is required.

• Loosen

the

sending eye wing nut and readjust, aiming

directly at the receiving eye. Lock in place.

• Loosen

the

receiving eye wing nut and adjust sensor

until it receives the sender’s beam. When the green

indicator

light

glows steadily, tighten the wing nut.

TROUBLESHOOTING THE SAFETY
REVERSING SENSORS

1. If the sending eye indicator light does not glow steadily

after installation, check for:

• Electric power to the opener.

• A short in the white or white/black wires. These can

occur at staples, or at opener connections.

• Incorrect wiring between sensors and opener.

• A broken wire.

2. If the sending eye indicator light glows steadily but
the receiving eye indicator light doesn’t:

• Check

alignment.

• Check for an open wire to the receiving eye.

3. If the receiving eye indicator light is dim, realign
either

sensor.

NOTE: When the invisible beam path is obstructed or
misaligned while the door is closing, the door will reverse.
If the door is already open, it will not close. The opener
lights will blink 10 times. See page 15.

Connect to garage door opener:

• Strip 7/16" (11 mm) of insulation from each set of wires.

Separate white and white/black wires suffi ciently to
connect to the opener quick-connect terminals. Twist like
colored wires together. Insert wires into quick-connect
holes: white to white and white/black to grey (Figure 10).
