MOUNTING AND WIRING THE SAFETY SENSORS
• Slide a 1/4"-20xl/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. See Figure 4.
• Finger tighten the wing nuts.

Wire Routing
1. Using insulated staples, run the wires from both
sensors to the rail at the door header
(see Figure 5).
2. Cross and twist the two wires where they meet
the rail (see inset A). Run the wires inside the
channels at the top of the rail, along each side,
to the motor unit. Do not use the lower (trolley)
channels. Use a screwdriver tip to tuck the wires
snugly into the channels.
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. Use one rail channel for
the door control wire and the other channel for
both sensor wires. If you choose this option, follow
instructions 1-3 on page 21 now.
3. Pull wires taut across the top of the chassis and
insert into the opening above the terminal block
(see inset B). You will complete the wiring in
Installation Step 7.
