MOUNTING THE SAFETY SENSORS
• Slide a 1/4"-20x1/2" carriage bolt head into the slot on
each sensor. Use wing nuts to fasten sensors to
brackets, with lenses pointing toward each other across
the door. Be sure the lens is not obstructed by a bracket
extension (Figure 5).
• Finger tighten the wing nuts.
Recommended Wire Routing
1. Using insulated staples, run the wires from both sensors
to the rail at the door header (Figure 5A).
2. Run the wires through wire clips at the top of the rails.
NOTE: If your access door is near the garage door, you
may choose to install the door control at this time and run
the door control wire along the rail with the sensor wires.
3. Separate the white and white/black wires. Strip 7/16"
(11 mm) of insulation from the end of the sensor wires.
Twist like colored wires together. Connect the bell wire
from safety reversing sensors to the quick-connect
terminals: white wires to the white terminal and
white/black wires to grey terminal (Figure 5B).
