How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Keep clear of the door while testing safety devices.
- Clear the path: Remove any objects, tools, or vehicles from the beam path between the photocells.
- Check LEDs: Observe the LED on the receiver photocell. If it flickers or goes off when the door moves, realign the photocells until the LED is solid.
- Shield from sunlight: If direct sun hits the receiver, install the supplied sun shield or slightly angle the photocell to reduce glare while maintaining alignment.
- Tighten brackets: Ensure the photocell brackets are firmly attached and do not move when the door vibrates.
