Installation Step 6:
A Install Safe-T-Beam® Source and Sensor (Figure 25):
Mark both sides of garage door frame or wall 6"
above floor.

for extensions.

with 2 (#10-16 x 1-1/4") Phillips Hex Head Screws
per Bracket.
B Attach Safe-T-Beam® Source (Red LED) and Sensor (Green

For single-door garages.
–Determine which side of garage receives the most
direct sunlight, and place Source (Red LED) on this
side whenever possible.
For multiple-door garages see (Figure 26).
–Preventing crossed signals is critical.
–Place Source and Sensor modules on adjacent doors
facing in opposite directions.
Slide the Safe-T-Beam® Source and Sensor onto the
tongues of the Brackets until they click into place.
