    12.  Photo Cell Troubleshooting

    The following is a list of things to help troubleshoot the photocell
    circuit and order parts if necessary:

    1.) Unplug your opener & plug it back in.  This action may reset them.

    2.) Using a screwdriver, "short circuit" the two screws on the red light photocell together. This may reset them.

    3.) Inspect the wires running from the opener to the photocells for breaks or loose connections.

    4.) Clean the photo cell lenses of dirt, cobwebs, etc.

    5.) Unscrew the wires to the photocells at the opener, remove the photocell modules from their brackets and wire them together with a short set of wires, approximately one foot long, directly to the opener. If they work correctly replace the existing photocell wires. If they fail, check for voltage (12 volts DC) across the photocell terminals with a multi-meter on the DC scale.  If power exist, replace the photocell modules. If no power exist replace the main sequencer board in the operator.
