To preventSERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from closing garage door:

IMPORTANTINFORMATIONABOUTTHESAFETYREVERSINGSENSORS
The safety reversingsensors must be connected andaligned correctly before the garage door
openerwill move in the down direction.
The sending sensor (with an amber LED) transmits an invisible light beam to the receiving sensor (with a
green LED). If an obstruction breaksthe light beam while the door is closing, the door will stop and
reverse to the full open position, and the garage door opener lights will flash 10 times.
NOTE: For energy efficiency the garage door opener will enter sleep mode when the door is fully
closed. The sleep mode shuts the garage door opener down until activated. The sleep mode is
sequenced with the garage door opener light bulb; as the light bulb turns off the sensor LEDs will turn off
and whenever the garage door opener lights turn on the sensor LEDs will light. The garage door opener
will not go into the sleep mode until the garage door opener has completed 5 cycles upon power up.
When installingthe safety reversingsensors check the following:
l
Sensorsare installed inside the garage, one on either side ofthe door.
l
Sensorsare facing each other with the lenses aligned and the receiving sensor lensdoes not
receive directsunlight.
l
Sensorsare no more than 6 inches (15 cm) above the floor and the lightbeam is
unobstructed.
