Install the safety sensors near the bottom of the garage door tracks, one on each side. Ensure they are aligned so their infrared beam is unbroken. Secure them to the door frame or track using screws and a drill/driver. Run the sensor wiring along the track and connect it to the corresponding terminals on the opener's motor head. Install the wall control console on an easily accessible wall inside the garage and connect its wiring to the opener. Use a staple gun to neatly secure all wires.
