Garage Door Infared Sensor Wiring

Use the stepladder to inspect the wires near the upper part of a wall and at the.

Garage door infared sensor wiring.

Safety sensors include two mounted sections one on each side of the garage door opening. Run the safety sensor wiring by running the bell wires from both of the sensors located on each side of the door about 4 inches above the ground to the rail at the door header. Inspect the double strand insulated low voltage wires from each sensor to the back of the garage door opener. Cross and twist the wires where they meet and run the wires in the channels to the motor.

Wiring a sensor for a genie garage door opener is much like any other opener. Watch this video to see how the pro s do it. The sensor emits an infrared beam that when broken causes the opener to stop closing the door and reverses the movement back to the open position. However genie uses clips to secure the wires to the opener rail rather than stapling the wires to the ceiling.

Staple them in place. The sensors use two photo eye lenses that transmit an infrared beam between them.
