The sensor works, but not after a few minutes. Then you have to manually turn it on. Does the unit need to be replaced?

I have two and neither works as you have described so I would suggest replacing it.

If the wiring is ok (Good ground and hot and neural are correctly wired) then the sensor may be defective.

Press the button and hold it until you see the light blinking once, then I believe it's in auto-sensor mode so this way it works upon motion, pretty quick when entering, it takes a couple of minutes to turn off though.
2060554
If I remember correctly there is an adjustment screw inside the sensor that determines how long the sensor stays on so I've checked that before I got another one

You may have a defective unit. Mine has worked without a problem since purchase. Sorry, I do not have another explanation.

I've had mine for 8 months -- it's been rained on, went through a winter, and now is sweltering in the heat of an Arizona summer and is still working. Perhaps you did get a bad sensor.

The sensor isn't reading the cartridge. Push your stop or reset button and hold it for 5 seconds.

The customer service rep said you have to remove the battery, turn unit off and let it sit for a while. ( about 5-10 min) it should turn on after that.With that said, I followed the directions perfectly only to come to the conclusion I had a faulty unit.

You'll have to state the question more clearly. I would recommend you remove the wires from the garage door opener and remove the battery from the Magic Closer. Wait a few minutes and re-install again according to instructions. Insure your sensor is located at the top left of the garage door.

Removing the battery will NOT RESET the sensor. That was my mistake, I did not know that, and I ordered a replacement sensor. You have to reset the sensor after a battery change by pressing a thin tool, like for example a pin into the small hole opening on the back.

The sensor should cause the light to go on at dark and off in the am. I can only guess that there is a problem with the sensor.

Have you tried washing the sensor? Just use water, nothing else. My sensor got dirty and I had this problem. Cleaning off the sensor did the trick. And don't forget these are warranted for five years. When my motor died, they sent me a new motor with instructions how to change it out. Piece of cake.

Below is a list of checks you can go through to see if the problem is the remote, sensor or something else.*are the batteries on the remote blocked by a plastic strip?*is the sensor plugged into the power supply (not provided with this kit)?*is the LED strip plugged into the sensor (not provided with this kit)?*did you point the remote at the sensor, aiming at the black colored receiver on the sensor, and press the power button on the remote in the top right hand corner?*If you have done all of these try mixing and matching the remote to the sensor and see if any combination work. It is weird to have 3 sets that don't work.Sorry if any of these things seem basic.

Aim directly at the sensor & make sure the connections are fully plugged in. You could also contact customer service- Worst case scenario, return it & get another one.

you have to take the electrical cover off to access the sensor. Snip some wires and re-wire new sensor it should only take at most 20 minute to complete the task.

Make sure bits of paper arent clinging or stuck in a place such that they would prevent the sensor from sensing. If u are handy. take the cover off and make sure a wire hasnt come loose or anything gone awry. If so, fix it! But most likely ur unit needs to be replaced or repaired by a Service Tech. I'm assuming its out of warranty - if not contace Royal. I had a small problem when mine was new and the resolved it over the phone.

Make sure the arrows on power adapter connector and the light strip are lined up. Also hit some other buttons on the remote. Could be a damaged sensor.

No you will need to take the negative battery cable off for 5 minutes if that doesn't work you have fault in a sensor

I'm almost sure that the photo sensor has failed, photo sensors are available on amazon. Almost anything can be taken apart. Match up the existing failed photo sensor to one sold on amazon and install in the reverse order of removal. Good luck.

I sent ours back because it wouldn't turn on. in my case the sensor might have been too far away to pick up a signal as it was on the second level outside a window. Anyway, it was sent back so I'm sorry I can't answer that question about yours not turning off. May be defective?
