0:00 - 0:10 Introduction

Hey everyone! Welcome back to Door and Dock Solutions you tube channel. Today, I'm going to show you how to wire Infrared and Electric Eye sensors for your garage door opener. Let’s get started!

0:11 - 0:30 Overview & Importance

Infrared and Electric Eye sensors are essential for the safe and efficient operation of your garage door opener. They prevent accidents by detecting obstructions and ensuring the door closes smoothly. Proper wiring is crucial to ensure these sensors work correctly and keep your garage safe.

0:31 - 0:50 Tools & Materials Needed

Before we begin, make sure you have the following tools and materials: a screwdriver set, wire strippers, electrical tape, wire connectors, a voltage tester, and the Infrared and Electric Eye sensors. Always prioritize safety by wearing gloves and safety goggles.

0:51 - 1:30 Step 1: Disconnect Power and Remove Old Sensors [if applicable]

First, disconnect the power to your garage door opener by unplugging it or turning off the circuit breaker. This ensures your safety while working on the wiring. If you're replacing old sensors, remove them by unscrewing them from their mounts and carefully disconnecting the wires. Use your voltage tester to confirm there's no power running through the system before proceeding.

1:31 - 2:10 Step 2: Positioning the New Sensors

Next, position your new Infrared and Electric Eye sensors on either side of the garage door, about 6 inches above the ground. Ensure they are aligned directly facing each other to create a clear beam. Use the provided mounting brackets and screws to secure them firmly in place. Proper alignment is key to ensuring the sensors function correctly and detect any obstructions effectively.

2:11 - 2:50 Step 3: Wiring the Sensors

Now, let's wire the sensors. Start by stripping about half an inch of insulation from the ends of the wires using your wire strippers. Connect the positive and negative wires from the sensors to the corresponding terminals on the garage door opener unit. Use wire connectors to ensure a secure and stable connection. Once connected, wrap electrical tape around the connectors for added security and to prevent any short circuits.

2:51 - 3:00 Conclusion

Finally, reconnect the power to your garage door opener and test the sensors by closing the door. The door should reverse if an obstruction is detected, ensuring your safety. And that's it! You've successfully wired your Infrared and Electric Eye sensors.
