INSTALLING THE BRACKETS
Be sure power to the opener is disconnected. Install and align the brackets so the safety reversing sensors will face each other across
the garage door, with the beam no higher than 6" (15 cm) above the fl oor. They may be installed in one of three ways, as follows.
1a
Track Installation
1. Slip the curved arms over the
rounded edge of each door track,
with the curved arms facing the
door. Snap into place against the
side of the track. It should lie fl ush,
with the lip hugging the back edge
of the track, as shown.
If your door track will not support the
bracket securely, wall installation is
recommended.
Wall Installation
1b
1. Place the bracket against the
wall with curved arms facing the
door. Be sure there is enough
clearance for the sensor beam to be
unobstructed.
2. If additional depth is needed, an
extension bracket (see Accessories)
or wood blocks can be used.
3. Use bracket mounting holes as a
template to locate and drill (2) 3/16"
diameter pilot holes on the wall at
each side of the door, no higher
than 6" (15 cm) above the fl oor.
