Wire Hide WH624 Black Garage Door Photo Eye Sensor Shields – Pair

The Wire Hide WH624 Garage Door Photo Eye Sensor Shields are designed to help protect residential garage door safety sensors from direct sunlight while providing a cleaner, more finished appearance around the photo-eye installation.

Direct sunlight shining into a garage door photo eye can interfere with the infrared safety beam and may cause intermittent or false sensor signals. The WH624 shields help block unwanted sunlight from reaching the sensor lens while leaving the required safety beam path unobstructed.

This package includes a pair of black sensor shields with foam inserts for use on both sides of the garage door opening.

Specifications

Helps Reduce Sunlight-Related Sensor Problems

Garage door photoelectric safety sensors rely on an uninterrupted infrared beam across the garage door opening.

Depending on the orientation of the garage and the position of the sun, direct sunlight can sometimes shine into the receiving sensor and interfere with normal operation.

Symptoms may include:

• Garage door begins closing and reverses

• Opener indicates a safety-sensor obstruction

• Door operates normally at certain times of day but not others

• Photo-eye indicator light becomes intermittent in direct sunlight

• Sensors appear properly aligned but still experience occasional interference

The WH624 shields provide additional shade around the photo eyes to help reduce sunlight reaching the sensor lens.

Compatibility

The Wire Hide WH624 is designed to fit most residential garage door photo eyes.

Because sensor dimensions and mounting arrangements vary by manufacturer and model, verify the size and mounting configuration of your existing safety sensors before ordering.

These shields are accessories and do not replace the garage door opener's existing photoelectric safety sensors.

Black Finish

The black finish provides a clean appearance when used with black garage door hardware, dark interior finishes, or the matching Wire Hide black wire-management components.

For installations requiring concealed or protected low-voltage sensor wiring, the WH624 shields are ideally paired with compatible Wire Hide wall plate and tubing systems.

What's Included

• 2 black Wire Hide WH624 sensor shields

• Foam inserts

Photo-eye sensors, wiring, wall plates, tubing, and garage door opener are not included unless specifically stated.

Installation Notes

Install each shield around the existing photo-eye sensor while maintaining a clear, unobstructed path between the transmitting and receiving safety sensors.

After installation:

• Confirm both photo eyes remain properly aligned

• Verify the safety beam is unobstructed

• Check the sensor indicator lights

• Test the garage door opener's safety-reversal system

• Confirm the door reverses correctly when the photo-eye beam is interrupted

Never bypass, disable, cover, or otherwise defeat a garage door opener's photoelectric safety system.
