Possible Causes
Object blocking sensor beam, Sunlight interference, Misaligned sensor brackets, Defective sensor electronics
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Do not attempt to defeat the safety sensors. They prevent injury and property damage.
- Clear the path: Remove any items near the bottom of the tracks that could block the beam.
- Check sensor LEDs: Both sensors should show solid lights. If one is off or dim, adjust alignment until both are solid.
- Shield from sunlight: If direct sun hits a sensor, install a small shade or reposition slightly while maintaining alignment.
- Secure brackets: Tighten loose sensor brackets so vibration does not cause intermittent misalignment.
- Replace sensors: If LEDs will not stay lit despite correct wiring and alignment, replace the sensor pair.
