That is not the case. It irritated me to discover that there was no wire, despite the fact that it was advertised as having wire. I ordered the genie-recommended wire, which cost around $12 for 90 feet.

Very old. My Genie Pro 98 is what I'm using right now. Very old. The sensors had ceased to function correctly. These substitutions were ideal. One of my Genie Pro 98's two-way radios has a two-way radio. strand wire running from the garage motor on the ceiling to an old black square box sensor Then there's a second two-minute break. A strand of wire runs from one square box sensor to the other square box sensor. All wires are terminated with pigtail ends (see photo of my old sensor with two pigtail wires attached). According to the instructions for these replacements, there will be two wires coming out of the motor, one for each sensor. As I previously stated, this was not the case for me, but it still worked flawlessly. The following is what I did to make these replacements work: (1) Cut all of the pigtail ends off. (2) A wire from the garage motor was connected to one of the replacement sensors. The new sensor comes with a screwdriver. connectors on the way down Under each screw, place one strand of wire. (Do not twist two strands of the same wire together and place them both under the same screw; They'll have to be screwed in separately). Then connect the second wire that connects the two sensors to that first sensor, as well as the second sensor on the opposite side of the garage. One strand of wire goes under each screw connector once more (do not twist the two strands of the same wire together). So, on one of the sensors, you'll have two strands of wires under each screw connector (the wire coming from the motor and the wire leading to the second sensor); (Please see the second photo. ).
be do- do-it-yourselfers To begin, I'd like to state that this Garage Door Opener is completely secure. For me, the Beam Replacement Kit was ideal. I have a 20-year-old Genie Intellicode garage door opener that came with the house when we bought it, and the garage door opener mechanism has worked perfectly for the past two decades. However - The stock sensors, which most likely came with the garage door opener, have had intermittent issues over the last two decades. The standard rectangular-shaped sensors would occasionally become misaligned, preventing the garage door from closing. Also - One of the sensors' lights has never worked, making it difficult to align the infrared sensors. red beam. Because I have a single 16-foot insulated garage door, I need a garage door opener - The sensors appeared to be failing in the past month or so, and I had to adjust the angle of the sensors at least five times to get the garage door to close. I decided it was past time to address the issue. At a local lumber yard, I got a quote for a similar Genie Brand pair of sensors, which cost a little more than $40. To replace the sensors, you'll need to pay $00 for a kit. To be fair to the lumberyard - I believe their kit came with new wires, whereas this kit does not. I didn't see the point in replacing the sensor wiring because my garage door sensors were already working. If you're having problems with your Genie garage door opener's sensors, I believe this is the case for the vast majority of you. br>br>Here's how to figure out if you want to take on this project. br>br>Expect to pay around $125 if you prefer to hire a professional to make the switch for you. 00, which includes parts, transportation, and service. I'm aware of this because I've made a phone call to one. He stated that if the wiring to the sensors needed to be replaced, he would charge an additional $50. He advised that the wiring be replaced. You'll need the following tools: br>br> 1. br>br> ) A standard flat screwdriver (for opening the old sensors and removing the wiring)br>2. ) Small phillips head screwdriver (for attaching wiring to new sensors)br>3. ) A good battery-operated screw gun for driving the new sensors' screws. (If you want to use 1/4" drive sockets, you'll need a ratchet-style bit driver for your screw gun. ) Instead, I used phillips-head sheetrock screws.

As a result of the installation of the new sensors, your garage door opener's small computer board may be shorted out. If this happens, you'll either need to replace the garage door opener or buy a new circuit board. Suddenly, your small do-it-yourself project takes on a life of its The cost of a do-it-yourself project has skyrocketed - You're on your own if you don't follow this simple first step. 2. br>br>1. br>br>br>br>br>br ) Using a battery-operated screw gun, remove one by one the existing screws holding the old sensors (bracket and all). Take your flat-screen TV with you. pry the old black sensor apart with a Phillips head screwdriver (mine was the old rectangular plastic box style - They had a slot into which I could insert a flat head screwdriver, and with a slight twist, they came apart easily, and the two wires were inserted into a slip lock connection. All I had to do was slide the small green tab at the top of the slip joint connector down, and the wire fell out. 3. br>br>4. br>br>5. br>br>6. ) Feed the wires that you just removed from the old sensors through the holes in the new sensor's arm (bracket) so that they have a foothold. Then, using a small phillips head screwdriver, connect the wiring to the screws on the back of the new sensor. (It makes no difference which wire is connected to which terminal. ) A square metal compression sleeve is hidden behind the phillips head screws on the new sensors' attachment points. Make sure the bare wire is inserted between the compression sleeve and the screws, not just around them. 4. br>br> The new sensors should be installed 5 to 6 inches off the garage floor, according to the instructions that came with them. My garage floor isn't level, but this is how I avoided all of the measurement and alignment issues. Didn't my old garage door sensors work? I was able to set the sensor at the same height as the old sensor by using one of the old screw holes. At this point, there are no more screws to be installed - Each sensor will be held in place by just one screw, allowing you to double-check the alignment. If you need to twist the sensor slightly, having only one screw installed makes it easier. 5. br>br> ) As previously stated, install the other sensor - If you did the same thing with the other side's sensor, connect the wires and anchor the bracket arm to the wall or studs with a single screw in the top most existing screw hole. 6. br>br>br>br>br>br>br>br>br> ) Now that both sensors are connected and all four wires are connected to their appropriate connectors - Reconnect the garage door opener. Check to see if one sensor has a constant red light and the other has a constant green light; if you're lucky like me, both lights will be lit, and you can now test the garage door opening and closing. If not - If the lights are flashing, the beam isn't properly aligned. Examine each sensor and determine its angle - The beam should be directed perpendicular to the garage floor from the lighting port that emits it. If the sensor bracket is not perpendicular, gently twist it. When the lights on both sensors stay on, you know you've hit it exactly right. Recheck the garage door's ability to open and close. Also, make sure you can stop the door from closing by breaking the beam with your foot or another solid object, and that the safety sensors are working properly before entering the garage door's pathway. 7. br>br>br>br>br>br>br>br>br> ) Screw at least two more screws into each of the new sensor brackets, then double-check that the additional screws did not affect the alignment. br>br>Wonderful work. br>br> br>br>Attention: br>br>Disclaimer: Anyone trying to replace their existing Genie Garage Door Closer Sensors should use this information as a guide.

They are compatible with overhead door legacy 6amp 1/2 hp model 696cd/bbr>had issues with day light shining on the original overhead door legacy sensors. It didn't work after I dismantled and cleaned them. It didn't work when I put long cylinders on the ends of them to block out the direct sensor sunlight. these were purchased in a secure environment They're beam sensors, and they work right away! The strike zone/or beam sensor appears to be slightly narrower, but that's fine when it's super sunny and I can quickly close the garage door! a fantastic product!.
When my garage doors stopped closing for no apparent reason, I was concerned that something major had gone wrong. After a quick Google search, I discovered the culprit - sunlight! Then I noticed that the door worked perfectly in the mornings and evenings, but only intermittently in the afternoons. It became clear that my old sensors had failed. These guys were, if not an upgrade, a direct replacement. I'm very pleased with the outcome. It took me 30 minutes to replace the sensors on two doors (on the conservative side). br>br>Anyone experiencing similar problems with their doors "emergency" stopping for no apparent reason should begin here. Before calling a garage door repair service, try to save some money.
If there was any light shining on the receiver sensor, my Genie garage door would not close. According to what I've read online, older sensors are prone to failure and becoming light sensitive. These new Genie Safes were purchased and installed by me. The problem was solved by using beam sensors. The brightest early morning sunlight shining directly on the sensors no longer causes an issue, and the door now closes automatically. It was a piece of cake to replace the sensor. It makes use of existing wires; simply unscrew the old units and replace them with these. Because the wires are not polarized, they can be attached to the sensors in any order. Furthermore, the transmit and receive sensors can be mounted on either side of the garage door, so you don't have to worry about which one goes where.
We had to either manually close the garage door or block both sides with the trash can and stand on the opposite side to darken it. I tried cleaning them, moving them further into the garage, placing a cardboard piece to create shade and nothing worked 100% of the time so I replaced them with these%.
