6. Install the Protector System®
   The safety reversing sensor must be connected and aligned correctly before the garage door will move in the down direction. This is a required safety device and cannot be disabled.
   IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE SAFETY REVERSING SENSOR
   When properly connected and aligned, the safety reversing sensor will detect an obstacle in the path of its electronic beam. The sending sensor (with an amber indicator light) transmits an invisible light beam to the receiving sensor (with a green indicator light).
   If an obstruction breaks the light beam while the door is closing, the door will stop and reverse to full open position.
   The receiving sensor has a shorter length of wire and should be mounted on the same side as the operator. If sunlight interference occurs, the receiving sensor can be moved to the other side of the door opening by cutting the wires of the sending sensor and the receiver sensor and reconnecting the wires.
   The sensors must be installed inside the garage so that the sending and receiving sensors face each other across the door, no more than 6 inches (15 cm) above the floor. Either sensor can be installed on the left or right of the door as long as the sun never shines directly into the receiving sensor lens.
   The mounting brackets are designed to clip onto the track of sectional garage doors without additional hardware.
   If it is necessary to mount the sensors on the wall, the brackets must be securely fastened to a solid surface such as the wall framing. Extension brackets (see accessories) are available if needed. If installing in masonry construction, add a piece of wood at each location to avoid drilling extra holes in masonry if repositioning is necessary.
   The invisible light beam path must be unobstructed. No part of the garage door (door tracks, springs, hinges, rollers or other hardware) may interrupt the beam while the door is closing.

WARNING
Be sure power is NOT connected to the garage door opener BEFORE installing the safety reversing sensor.
To prevent SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from a closing garage door:

• Correctly connect and align the safety reversing sensor. This required safety device MUST NOT be disabled.
• Install the safety reversing sensor so beam is NO HIGHER than 6″ (15 cm) above garage floor.

INSTALLING THE BRACKETS
The brackets house the safety reversing sensors in a fixed, secure position so the safety reversing sensors will face each other across the garage door, with the beam no higher than 6″ (15 cm) above the floor. Be sure power to the opener is disconnected.
Choose one of the following installations.

OPTION A: Track Installation (Recommended)

1. Slip the curved arms over the rounded edge of each door track, with the curved arms facing the door, and make sure brackets measure no higher than 6″ (15 cm) above the floor.
2. Snap bracket into place against the side of the track. It should lie flush, with the lip hugging the back edge of the track, as shown.
   If your door track will not support the bracket securely, see Option B: Wall Installation.

OPTION B: Wall Installation

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 (Model 041A5281-1) or wood blocks can be used. See Accessories section.
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
4. 15 cm) above the floor. 4. Attach brackets to wall with lag screws (not provided).
   If using extension brackets or wood blocks, adjust right and left assemblies to the same distance out from the mounting surface. Make sure all door hardware obstructions are cleared.
   If Option B will not work, see Option C: Floor Installation.

1. Use wood blocks or extension brackets (see Accessories) to elevate sensor brackets so the lenses will be no higher than 6″ (15 cm) above the floor.
2. Carefully measure and place right and left assemblies at the same distance out from the wall. Be sure all door hardware obstructions are cleared.
3. Fasten to the floor with concrete anchors as shown.

MOUNTING THE SAFETY REVERSING SENSORS

1. Slide a 10-24 hexagonal screw into the slot on each sensor.
2. Use wing nuts to fasten safety reversing sensors to brackets, with lenses pointing toward each other across the door. Be sure the lens is not obstructed by a bracket extension.
3. Finger tighten the wing nuts.

WIRE THE SAFETY REVERSING SENSORS
The receiving sensor has a shorter length of wire and should be mounted on the same side as the operator. If sunlight interference occurs, the receiving sensor can be moved to the other side of the door opening by cutting the wires of the sending sensor and the receiver sensor and reconnecting the wires.

1. Run the wire from both sensors to the garage door opener. Securely affix the wire to the wall and ceiling with staples (not provided).

WARNING
Without a properly installed safety reversal system, persons (particularly small children) could be SERIOUSLY INJURED or KILLED by a closing garage door.

• Incorrect adjustment of garage door travel limits will interfere with proper operation of safety reversal system.
• After ANY adjustments are made, the safety reversal system MUST be tested. Door MUST reverse on contact with 1-1/2″ (3.8 cm) high object (or 2×4 laid flat) on floor.

NOTE: While programming the travel, the UP and DOWN buttons can be used to move the door as needed. During the Automatic Force Setup, the door will automatically open and close.

1. Press and hold the UP Button until the door is in the desired UP position.
2. Once the door is in the desired UP position press and release the Adjustment Button. The garage door opener lights will blink twice and the DOWN Button will begin to flash.
3. Press and hold the DOWN Button until the door is in the desired DOWN position.
4. Once the door is in the desired DOWN position press and release the Adjustment Button. The garage door opener lights will blink twice. Program the Travel is now complete. If the garage door opener lights blink 5 times, then programming has timed out and the Travel Limits have not been set. Please restart the Program the Travel process.

4  Automatic Force Set Up
Once both the up and down positions have been manually set, the Safety Reversing Sensors will reconnect and become operational. Then, the opener will enter a force-sensing operation by automatically moving the door open and close. The garage door opener will sound an audible and visual alert before automatically opening and closing the door. The garage door opener will beep three times, confirming that the Automatic Force Setup completed successfully. Adjustment is complete.
If you hear one long beep after the door attempts to move, then the Automatic Force Set Up has not completed successfully. Please start over at step 1 of Program the Travel.
