Genie GSTB-R STB-BL Replacement Safety Beams, Black, 2 Pack, Black, one size (GSTB-R)

Easy to install

Before I bought this sensor, I concerned about two things. First, my garage door machine is Sky Link , is not Genie machine. Second, wire connection. Which wire is plus and ground. However, it doesnt matter. I replaced this door sensor very easily.

Worked perfectly!

As described

I was able to reuse my existing holes so I didnt have to align them. I just brought over the wires that already existed with my old ones and reattached them. It took me about 15 minutes to install both of them.

A couple of months ago our garage door opener started acting up. The door would go down for a few feet, but then immediately reverse direction. My initial reaction was that the transmitter & receiver had gotten out of alignment, but it didnt take long to realize that the alignment wasnt the issue - based on the system design, having the transmitter & receiver in the same zip code would probably work. So I did the unthinkable - I took out the manual for the garage door opener and learned that the receiver (red LED) could pretty much tell you what the problem was by simply interpreting the number of flashes. (Did I mention that I have an MSEE?) Based on the blinking pattern of the LED, the problem: interference - probably due to sunlight impinging on the sensor. So I tried a couple of things to isolate the sensor (e.g. toilet paper roll), but it only worked intermittently. We got to the point where we could only close our garage door after sunset. Definitely UNSAT. So I (finally) figured that the sensor and/or transmitter may be the problem. They were installed over a decade ago, so perhaps their performance had started to degrade. Thats when I (finally) ordered the replacement sensor & transmitter. It arrived a month ago and I finally got around to installing it today. Installation took 20 minutes. It was simply a matter of disconnecting the wires from the old units, uninstalling the old units/brackets, reconnecting the wires, and reinstalling the new units/brackets. I knew Id made the right decision when the receiver LED glowed solid red. And the new brackets were perfectly aligned with the old brackets, so I didnt even need to drill new holes or use new screws. And the culmination of the event? I pushed the button to close the door and it closed. Period. The first time.

Very easy to install.

I have a set of Chamberlain safety beam I pulled from a new garage door opener (havent installed it yet). I wired them up and it didnt work. I bought this set of Genie replacement safety beams and they work perfect. They dont fit the old bracket, but hooking these up so the rails is a breeze. I also tried shorting out the contact to see if I could trick the garage door into working. No such luck! Its okay, because the garage is now safe and the remote, the number pad and the hardwired button now work like theyre suppose to.

During a recent electrical storm, a close lightning strike took out a few electronic devices in and around our home. One thing I noticed was that my Genie garage door opener was no longer functioning. The light would come on but the door would not go up or down. I checked the little LED lights, located on the Safe-T-Beam sensors by the garage door, and noticed that the red LED was blinking in a reoccurring pattern. I went to the Genie website and checked their support page. I was delighted to find a useful troubleshooting guide, which utilizes the LED lights on the Safe-T-Beam sensors to diagnose potential problems with your Genie garage door opener. This handy troubleshooting guide can be found here: [...] The guide helped me determine that my opener motor and electronics were OK but one or both of my Safe-T-Beam sensors were bad and needed to be replaced. I almost purchased the replacement kit from the Genie website but decided to check Amazon.com first. Im glad I did, as I found the exact same kit at a much lower price. The Genie 34094R Garage Door Opener Replacement Safe-T-Beam Kit is the same as the previous 35048R kit, and is the perfect replacement for every Genie garage door opener that utilizes the Safe-T-Beam sensors (all models manufactured from 1995 to current). This easy to install replacement kit includes the following items: - Both Infrared eyes/sensors (one with Red LED and one with Green LED) - Two Safe-T-Beam sensor mounting brackets - Bell wire for connecting sensors to opener unit (approx. 100 ft. of wire included) - Mounting hardware (screws, washers & nuts) for brackets and sensors - Installation instructions I did not need to replace the wire, as my previous wires were still in great shape. I found that I was not able to use my existing sensor mounting brackets, as the new Safe-T-Beam sensors had a slightly different mounting method. Luckily the 34094R kit comes with new mounting brackets (and everything else you would possibly need to install the new sensors). The installation instructions are very easy to read and understand, and provide several illustrations to help make the process simple. I had the new sensors installed in about 20 minutes and my Genie garage door opener was working perfectly once again. The 34094R Safe-T-Beam replacement kit is a genuine Genie service item and contains everything needed to replace the Safe-T-Beam sensors on all Genie garage door openers manufacturer on or after 1995. It is easy to install and works flawlessly. The cost is very reasonable and I highly recommend this product to anyone with a Genie opener that needs one or both Safe-T-Beam sensors replaced.

Couldnt live without these for my new opener. Easy install and works great!
