Photoelectric sensors are part of the door's entrapment protection system.
The detail that controls fit
We do not provide a sensor bypass or generic substitute chart. A failed beam should be repaired with a verified part by a qualified professional.
A practical next step
Write down the full opener or accessory model number from its label. Use the linked manufacturer documentation to match the exact replacement part. If a safety part or wiring is involved, bring that information to a trained technician.
Evidence status
Only the facts identified above are supported by the current source set. Missing model-to-part pairs remain unknown.
Keep the protection in the circuit
Photoelectric sensors watch the doorway while the opener closes. Their alignment, wiring and replacement parts depend on the motor-unit system. The current package does not identify exact sensor SKUs for individual openers, so it cannot certify an aftermarket pair. Clear a simple obstruction only when safe, then follow the opener’s diagnostic manual; damaged wiring or recurring failures should be handled by a qualified professional.
