INSTALLING SAFETBEAM
®
(YELLOW BAG)
READ ALL STEPS BEFORE PROCEEDING
7a. Position Safe-T-Beam
®
(STB) Transmitter and Receiver
on each side of garage door 5"-6" above oor. Face the
lenses towards each other.
7b. Mark bracket mounting holes; drill 3/32" pilot holes and
secure with (4) 1/4" x 1-1/4" lag screws (provided) into
wood. If mounting into concrete or block, other fasteners
are required and are available at leading retail stores.
7c. Use garage pre-wiring if available. Otherwise, route 2
lengths of supplied wire from powerhead, along the
ceiling, across the header and down both sides of the
door, to each sensor. Secure the wire to the ceiling
and walls using the insulated staples in the green
bag.
7d. On the powerhead: insert both wires down through
the control wire channel. Remove 1/4" insulation
from both sets of white and striped wire. Twist
two striped wires together. Using a small at
head screwdriver, press in the orange tab
at terminal 1 and insert the wires. Twist the
two white wires together and insert into terminal
2. Ensure the wires are in their terminal, adjust as
necessary.
7e. At each sensor, remove 1/4" insulation from the
white and striped wires and secure in each terminal. Ensure
the wires are secure at each terminal; adjust as necessary.

CAUTION
When using insulated staples, make only snug enough to hold electrical wire in place. Staples too tight can
cause damage to wire and cause Safe-T-Beam
®
System to malfunction.
INSTALLING WALL CONSOLE
8a. Use garage pre-wiring if available.
Otherwise, route supplied wire from
powerhead to the desired location for the
wall control. Secure wire with insulated
staples (green bag).
8b. On the powerhead: insert wire down
through the control wire channel. Remove
1/4" insulation from white and striped wire.
Using a small at head screwdriver,
press in the orange tab and insert the
white wire in terminal 3 and the striped
wire in terminal 4. Ensure the wires are
secure in each terminal; adjust as necessary.
8c. At the wall console end of the wire, remove
1/4" insulation from the white and striped wires and secure the
white wire to the "W" terminal and the striped wire to the "B/W"
terminal as shown. Ensure the wires are secure at each terminal;
adjust as necessary.
8d. Mark the wall console mounting holes, drill 3/32" pilot holes and
mount with #6 x 1-1/4" screws. If mounting to drywall, anchors
will be required (not provided).
8e. Post the "ENTRAPMENT WARNING LABEL" (Included in the
Operation and Maintenance Manual) next to the wall console.
WARNING
Use of any other wall control can cause unexpected operation of the door and loss of lighting feature.
Locate wall console within sight of door and far enough from door to prevent contacting it while operating
the console. Control must be at least 5 feet above oor to prevent small children from operating it.
NOTE: If pre-wiring is used, ensure that after power is applied to the powerhead (in Step 10), the wall console and Safe-T-
Beam
®
LEDs come on. This conrms the wiring is correct. If not, you may need to individually wire each Safe-T-Beam
®
and
wall console at the powerhead.
