Generated explanation

The illustration shows a partially closed sectional garage door with a downward arrow indicating closing movement. A photo-eye is mounted near the base of the door opening, with a indicated mounting height of 4–6 inches. Dashed lines represent the light beam extending across the opening. The annotation instructs the inspector to interrupt the beam while the door is closing; the door should stop immediately and automatically reverse to the open position.
