What are photo-cell safety beams and why are they crucial for my garage door?
To start, it’s crucial to know that all residential garage door openers in Canada since 1994 have had two reversal sensors for your greater safety. Depending on when you purchased your present garage door opener, it could not feature a photoelectric reversal system. It was not created to have this option added, so you cannot add one to it.
– If the descending garage door’s bottom part encounters resistance from an object, the motor senses it and the garage door reverses.
– Safety sensors, two units that are placed on either side of the garage door. Unseen by the human sight, one unit emits an infrared beam. The reflector is the other component. The garage door opener motor automatically reverses direction and opens the garage door if something breaks the beam as it closes.
Garage door safety sensors repair or replace
Once you consider the likelihood that the sensor may prevent the garage door from stopping when it would otherwise, perhaps resulting in a major injury to a person or vehicle, a sensor issue may initially seem harmless. It’s time to schedule an inspection with a reputable garage door service if you’ve observed your garage door’s sensors are not as sharp as they should be or if you’ve experienced any instances where the door should have stopped closing but didn’t. These sensors frequently experience wiring issues or lose control of the device, which prevents them from being able to communicate with the opener. Our staff at Garage Door Repair Ottawa is extremely skilled and knowledgeable.
