The Protector System™ - Safety Reversing Sensor Model 770E
Installation procedures are the same for sectional and one-piece doors.
Look at the label on the connector end of each case to identify thesensors.
The sending eye transmits an invisible light beam to the receiving eye. If an
obstruction breaks the light beam while the garage door is closing, the door
will stop and reverse to full open position.
The units can be installed on either side of the garage door (Figure 1) as
long as the sun never shines directly into the receiving eye lens, but the
brackets must be connected and fastened so that the sending and receiving
eyes face each other as shown in Figure 1.
The brackets must be securely fastened to a solid surface such as the studs
on either side of the door, or add a piece of wood at each location if instal-
ling in masonry construction.
The invisible light beam path must be unobstructed. No part of the garage
door (or door tracks, springs, hinges, rollers or other hardware) can interrupt
the beam while the door is closing. If it does, use a piece of wood to build
out each sensor mounting location to the minimum depth required for light
beam clearance.
Figures 2, 3 and 4 show recommended assembly of bracket(s) and „C" wrap based on the wall installation of the sensors on each side of the garage door shown
above, or on the garage door tracks themselves.
Figure 5 shows variations which may fit your installation requirements better. Make sure the wraps and brackets are aligned so the sensors will face each
other across the garage door.
