1. Cut the end of the safety sensor wire, making sure there is
enough wire to reach the pre-installed wires from the wall
(Figure 7).
(Figure 7).
2. Separate the safety sensor wires and strip 7/16 inch (11 mm)
of insulation from each end. Choose two of the pre-installed
wires and strip 7/16 inch (11 mm) of insulation from each end.
wires and strip 7/16 inch (11 mm) of insulation from each end.
Make sure that you choose the same color pre-installed wires
for each sensor (Figure 8).
3. Connect the pre-installed wires to the sensor wires with wire
