Install the Protector System

The safety reversing sensor must be connected and aligned correctly before the
door will move in the down direction. This is a required safety device and cannot
be disabled. The LiftMaster Light Curtain LC36A may be installed as an optional
secondary safety device, see page 15.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE SAFETY REVERSING SENSORS
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 the full open position.
The sensors must be installed inside the building so that the sending and receiving
sensors face each other across the door, no more than 6" (15 cm) above the floor. Either
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 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 door (door tracks,
springs, hinges, rollers or other hardware) may interrupt the beam while the door is
closing.
