Possible Causes
Faulty or misaligned Henderson safety beams, Safety beam wiring open, Control board in constant‑pressure mode, Obstruction in beam path
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Do not operate the door without functional safety beams except for brief testing with full view of the opening.
Steps:
- Check beam LEDs: Confirm both photocell LEDs are solid when the path is clear. Realign or replace as needed.
- Clear obstructions: Remove any items near the bottom of the tracks that could interrupt the beam.
- Inspect wiring: Tighten beam terminal screws and repair any damaged low‑voltage cable.
- Reset mode: Some Henderson models enter constant‑pressure mode when beams fail. After restoring beam function, power cycle the opener to return to normal operation.
