Operation The Protector System® (Safety Reversing Sensors) The door will not close if the sensors have not been installed and aligned correctly. Be sure power is NOT connected to the garage door opener BEFORE installing the safety reversing sensor. To prevent SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from 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. When the light beam is obstructed or misaligned while the door is closing, the door will reverse. If the door is already open, it will not close. The sensors can be aligned by loosening the wing nuts, aligning the sensors, and tightening the wing nuts. Check to make sure the LEDs in both sensors are glowing steadily. The LEDs in both sensors will glow steadily if they are aligned and wired correctly.
