Raynor Mfg. discontinued the production of the PEC-R3 Safety Sensors back in December 2008 but just last week announced that they have gotten an outside company to manufacture an after-market sensor for Raynor.
This is good news for all the Raynor R160 garage door operator owners. Up until now if the safety sensors (also known as photo-eyes) were to fail the operator became useless. Unfortunately a number of R160 opener owners have probably replaced their operators over the past couple of months because the sensors failed and there weren't any replacements.
The new #4050727 PEC-R3 Safety Sensors come with new mounting brackets and installation instructions. The connections on the ends of the sensors can plug into the existing wires so no new wiring is required.
These new PEC-R3 Sensors work with all of the model R160/R260 operators and some of the R170/R270 operators. It's best to double check your existing sensors to determine which sensors you need. If there are two wires coming out of one sensor and three wires coming out of the other sensor then you need the PEC-R3 Replacement Sensors. If you have two wires coming out of both sensors then you need the PEC-R4 Sensors. Unfortunately the PEC-R4 Sensors have been discontinued by Raynor Mfg. (as of 05/01/14) and are no longer available. There are no alternate replacement sensors available either.
