WARNING:

Only install lag bolts, insulated staples, and other hardware into sound structural

supports in areas where no electrical wires, utility cables, pipes, or other obstruc-

tions are located. Contact your local utility company or a qualified electrician if

you are unsure. Ensure all hardware components are securely installed to prevent

falling object. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, electrical

shock, or other serious personal injury.

WARNING:

The bottom of the safety sensor should be no higher than six inches above the

garage floor. This will ensure that the door reverses should a child, pet, or small

object move beneath the door as it lowers. Improper placement of the safety

sensors can result in death or serious personal injury.

WARNING:

The effectiveness of the safety sensors included in this system directly relates to

the placement and installation of the sensors. Incorrect placement or installation

could prevent the sensors from working as intended and result in death or serious

personal injury.



Assemble the safety sensors by inserting the sensor stud through the long slot in

the bracket and securing with a wing nut.



Lower the garage door completely.



Position both sensors on either side of the interior of the garage door about 4 to 6

inches above the garage floor and point the lenses towards each other. The arrow

should be facing up.

NOTE:

The bottom of the sensor should be no higher than six inches above the

floor.

NOTE:

The receiving sensor has a green LED. Ensure that the lens on this sensor

is not exposed to direct sunlight.



Mark the position of the hole in the bracket.



Secure brackets in place using nails or drill 3/16 in. pilot holes and secure with lag

bolts.

NOTE:

Use lag bolts and concrete anchors (not included) when installing the

brackets into concrete, brick, or other masonry.

WARNING:

To avoid the risk of death, electric shock, or serious personal injury ensure that

the garage door opener is unplugged and the battery pack is removed before

wiring the sensors.

WARNING:

Connect the sensors using low voltage wires only to prevent the risk of electric

shock or serious personal injury.

WARNING:

Use extreme care if you need to stand on a ladder to install or adjust this accessory.

Ensure someone is holding the ladder on the ground to keep it stable. Failure to

safely use a ladder can cause a fall and result in death or serious personal injury.



Route the wires from the sensors to the door sensor wire terminals. Attach the

wires to the wall and ceiling using the insulated staples.



Strip 1/2 in. of insulation from the ends of each wire.



To install or remove wires from a wire terminal, depress the tab beside the terminal.



Twist the striped wires from both sensors together and insert them into the right

door sensor terminal marked with G.



Twist the plain wires from both sensors together and insert them into the left

terminal

marked with W.

ALIGNING THE SAFETY SENSORS

See Figure 1 - 2 and 4.



Install and wire the safety sensors as described earlier in this section.



Connect the garage door opener to an AC power supply.

NOTE:

Make sure the power supply is normal household voltage, 120 volts, AC

only, 60 Hz.

NOTE:

The garage door opener will not operate without safety sensors properly

installed.

WARNING:

To reduce the risk of injury, do not attempt to use this product until you have read

thoroughly and understand completely this operator’s manual and the operator’s

manual for the RYOBI garage door opener. Ensure compatibility and fit before using

the safety sensors. Do not use the safety sensors if a part is damaged or missing.

WARNING:

DO NOT

operate the garage door opener unless the safety sensors are installed

and working correctly. Failure to properly install and ensure that the safety sensors

are working correctly can result in death or serious personal injury.



Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and

balance enable better control in unexpected situations.



Clean only with dry cloth.



Do not operate near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or

other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.



Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently and use them to instruct others

who may use this tool. If you loan someone this tool, loan them these instructions

also to prevent misuse of the product and possible injury.



If wired correctly, the LED lights on both sensors should shine continuously. If the

LEDs do not come on, unplug the garage door opener and ensure that the sensors

are wired correctly. If problem persists, refer to the

Safety Sensor Diagnostic

Feedback

chart in the RYOBI garage door opener manual.



If the LED lights on both sensors shine continuously, then the sensors are aligned

and no adjustments are needed.



If the LED lights are blinking, then the sensors need to be aligned.



Loosen, but do not remove, the fasteners securing the sensors in place and adjust

the position of the sensors until the lens on the source and receiver are directly

facing one another.



When the sensor lenses are in the correct position, the invisible light beam emitted

by the source will be captured by the receiver and the LEDs will shine continuously.

NOTE:

If an object crosses the path of the beam, an open garage door will not

close and a closing garage door should stop and reverse to the fully open position.



After the sensors have been aligned, retighten fasteners.
