13、Install The Photo Eye System
Note: The photo eye system must be installed,connected,and aligned
properly before the operator will move in the down direction.
The receiving sensor should not be on sunny side if possible. The sensors must be
installed inside the garage.
The sending sensor and receiving sensor must be aligned and facing each other
properly. Both sensors are no higher than 6 inch (15 cm) from the floor.
The photo eye system includes a sending sensor and a receiving sensor. The
sending sensor produces an infrared light beam to the receiving sensor . The sending
sensor with red light is comparably smaller than receiving sensor with green light. If
an object blocks the infrared light beam while the door’s closing, the door will stop,
then reverse to full open, and the garage door operator lights will flash three minutes.
NOTE: as the light bulb turns off, the sensor LEDs will turn off, and whenever the
garage door operator lights turn on the sensor LEDs will light. The LEDs on the
sensors will not go into the sleep mode until the garage door operator has completed
5 cycles of opening and closing.
