What are photo optic sensors? (aka) Garage Door Safety Eyes
Photo optic sensors are installed along with your garage door opener, they are the camera looking things at the bottom sides of your garage door. these serve as a safety feature to be able to stop when there is something in the way, such as a small child or a pet.
Sometimes these can tend to cause little troubles due to the sensitivity of the sensors, I can mention a few; you notice your garage door only goes down 90% of the way then bounces back up and will not close. Does that sound familiar? dont worry this is a minor adjustment on the photo optic sensors, the first thing you need to do is, check that there is nothing in the way, second grab your hand held remote and try to close the door again this time looking at the photo optic sensors and seeing the lights on them, what color are they? One green and one red or a blinking light? ok. if it is off or blinking you found the problem (Genie Garage Door Opener Models have a green and a red light). Lets re-align them together so that both lights come on steady, adjust it a little to see if that fixes the problem. if this does not do the trick go to the wall console which is the wall button that opens and closes the door and you want to hold it down, hold it till the door closes all the way down, essentially what you are doing is you are telling the photo optic sensors that you are overriding them because you have taken over with your own eyes and you see that there is nothing in the way, ok does it close all the way? if yes now we know it is the photo optic sensors for sure and it is just a simple adjustment, if you feel like you cannot perform this yourself call one of our service men and they will fix this for you and perform full service to your door and FREE lubrication to the upper bearing assembly.
