Electrical Requirements

To avoidinstallationdifficulties,do notrunthe openerat this

time.

To reducethe risk of electric shock, your garagedoor opener has

a grounding type plug with a third grounding pin. This plug will

only fit into a grounding type outlet. If the plug doesn't fit into the

outlet you have, contacta qualified electricianto install the proper

outlet.

If permanent wiringis requiredbyyourlocal code,refer to the

followingprocedure.

To make a permanent connection through the 7/8" hole in the top

of the motor unit:

1. Removethe motor unit cover screwsandset the cover aside.

2. Removethe attached3-prong cord.

3. Connectthe black (line) wire to the screw on the brass

terminal; the white (neutral) wire to the screw on the silver

terminal; and the ground wire to the green ground screw.

The openermustbe grounded.

4. Reinstallthe cover.

To avoidinstallationdifficulties,do notrunthe openerat this

IMPORTANTINFORMATIONABOUT

THESAFETYREVERSINGSENSOR

When properly connectedand aligned, the sensor will detect an

obstacle in the pathof its electronic beam.Thesending eye (with

an amber indicator light) transmits an invisible light beamto the

receiving eye (with a green indicator light). If an obstruction

breaks the light beamwhile the door is closing, the door will stop

and reverseto full open position, andthe opener lights will flash

10 times.

Theunits must be installed inside the garageso that the sending

and receivingeyes face eachother across the door, no morethan

6" (15 cm) abovethefloor. Either can be installed on the left or

right of the door as long as the sun nevershines directly into the

receiving eye lens.

Themounting brackets are designedto clip onto thetrack of

sectional garagedoors without additional hardware.

Besure power is NOTconnectedto the garagedoor opener

BEFOREinstalling the safety reversingsensor.

To prevent SERIOUSINJURYor DEATHfrom a closing garage

door:

• Correctly connect and align the safety reversingsensor. This

required safety device MUSTNOTbe disabled.

• Install the safety reversing sensor so beamis NOHIGHER

than 6" (15 cm) abovegaragefloor.

If it is necessaryto mount the units on the wall, the brackets

must be securelyfastenedto a solid surface such asthe wall

framing. Extensionbrackets (seeaccessories) areavailableif

needed.If installing in masonry construction, add a pieceof wood

at eachlocation to avoid drilling extra holes in masonry if

repositioning is necessary.

Theinvisible light beam path must be unobstructed. No part of

the garagedoor (or door tracks, springs, hinges, rollers or other

hardware) may interrupt the beamwhile the door is closing.
