Yeah, like that would let the door close!

Why wouldn't the door still close Mr. Garage Doorman?

I have a Genie unit that is about 3 years old. Is it possible to
disable the infra red sensors that prevent the opener from closing

the
door if the beam is broken ?

Cover either the emitter or sensor with black tape.


Well gee. The system has to get a positive response to "is the sender
lighting the receiver". Tape one and the answer is 'no' and the door
won't close.


The infrared sensors have nothing to do with opening the door in normal use.
The sensor for remote door operation is radio controlled.


I suggest you do some reading on the subject. You obviously have no
clue as to how these sensors work or even what they are for.
