What if my sensors are out of alignment?
First, check for any debris, spiderwebs, leaves, dirt etc. blocking the photo eye of the sensors. Second, there's a wingnut on both sensors that can be loosened to provide slight movement of the sensors enabling proper alignment. Both lights on the sensors must be solid and not flashing, this will be an indication of a solid connection/alignment.
