Mount an IR interruptor sensor at car bumper height. The sensor will turn on a lamp when IR beam blocked. Used for backing into the garage so the bumper will clear the garage door. Back the car in until the lamp turns off. The 3D part clips onto the garage door railing. Suitable for doors that have wheel track that guides the door. The magnets hold the mount to the door rail and allow easy repositioning for different car bumper height. Mount the lamp so that you can see it while backing in the garage. Mount the xenocam emitter on the same garage door side as your door safety sensor. If the xenocam emitter beam hits the safety sensor it will activate the safety sensor. Connect the lamp to the +12V and the NO zenocam receiver relay contact. See attached diagram.
