The LiftMaster CPS-U commercial photo eye kit provides monitored entrapment protection for compatible LiftMaster commercial door operators. It is a common safety device on many LiftMaster commercial door systems and is intended for indoor use with a NEMA 1 general-purpose enclosure.
This kit should be matched to the operator model and safety-device requirements. If the application is outdoors, wet, or exposed to wash-down conditions, a different LiftMaster NEMA 4 photo eye option may be required.
Compatibility and Application Notes
- Standard photo-eye family for many Logic 5.0 and Medium-Duty LiftMaster commercial operator applications.
- Also used with select Logic 3, Logic 4, FDC, FDCL, FDO, and LGE commercial operator applications where specified by the manual.
- Used as a primary and/or ancillary monitored entrapment protection device when approved for the operator.
- NEMA 1 enclosure is intended for general indoor use.
- For outdoor or wet locations, review CPS-UN4, CPS-OPEN4, CPS-RPEN4, or other approved LiftMaster alternatives.

Professional Advisory
Commercial door safety device replacement should be tested through a full open and close cycle after installation. If the door moves unpredictably, has damaged wiring, or has missing safety devices, contact a qualified commercial door technician.
