Possible Causes
Blocked or misaligned photo eyes, Damaged sensor wiring, Direct sunlight interference, Defective receiver sensor
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Do not continue to use constant‑pressure override as a normal mode; restore sensor function.
- Check sensor LEDs: Ensure both Marantec sensors show the correct LED status (usually solid when aligned). If one is off or blinking, adjust alignment.
- Clear beam path: Remove any objects, cobwebs, or debris between sensors.
- Shield from sunlight: If direct sun hits the receiver, angle the sensors slightly or add a small shade.
- Repair wiring: Fix any cuts or loose connections. Replace the sensor pair if LEDs do not light with proper wiring.
