The following instructions show recommended assembly of the bracket(s) and "C" wrap based on the wall installation
of the safety reversing sensors on each side of the door or on the door tracks themselves. There are also alternate
mounting methods which may fit your installation requirements better. Make sure the wraps and brackets are
aligned so the safety reversing sensors will face each other across the door. Mount sensors no more than
6" (15 cm) above the floor and at a width between 7'-30' (2.1 m - 9.1 m).
Fasten the "C" wraps to the mounting brackets having square holes, using hardware shown.
