Hi Susan. Try double-checking the connection from the fiber optic unit to
the polarity-reversal switch. The connector should attach only to the
right-hand switch (the one which controls the doors, arm, & fiber optics).
The instructions aren't very clear on this part and make it easy to
inadvertently connect the wire to the left-hand switch or both switches,
which will prevent the fiber-optics from functioning.
Hope this helps,
