About Photo Eye Safety System
The Photo Eye Safety System provides protection against entrapment while the door is closing. When properly connected
and aligned, the emitter Photo Eye emits an invisible infrared light beam while the sensor Photo Eye monitors that beam.
If the beam is obstructed during door-closing, the entrapment protection will be triggered and the door will stop and
reverse to the open position. The operator will flash for 30 seconds indicating an obstruction.
Installing The Photo Eye Safety System
1. Wall-mounting
a. Place the Photo Eyes facing each other on each side of the garage door. Position the sensors so they are no higher than
6" (15cm) above the floor.
Note: Wire lengths for operator-side and opposite-side photo-eyes.
b. Drill 3/16" holes using the mounting holes on the Bracket as a template. Secure with 1/4" x 1" Lag Screws.
c. Adjust the position, loosen the wing nut, disassemble the Bracket and move the Photo Eye to the lower position
on the holder.
2. Alternative Floor-mounting.
a. Place the Photo Eyes facing each other on each side of the garage door.
