DO NOT OPERATE OPENER AT THIS TIME.
To Connect Power
Plug the Opener into a grounded outlet ONLY. If there is no
grounded outlet present, call a qualified electrician to replace the
outlet.
Permanent Wiring (If Required by Local Code)
1. Remove the enclosure by removing the 6 screws located
on the sides and rear of the Opener.
2. Cut the two cable pressure connectors connecting line
(black) and neutral (white) wire from the power cord.
3. Remove the grounding screw connecting the green wire.
4. Remove the power cord.
5. Group neutral (white) wires from power source with 2 white
wires from light cable, and logic board, and yellow wire
from motor, inside the Opener. Connect them with a wire
nut.
6. Group line (black) wires from power source with another
black wires from logic board inside the Opener. Connect
them with a wire nut.
7. Secure the ground (green or bare) wire from the power
source with a grounding screw.
8. Reinstall the enclosure.
9. Turn on power supply. If the wiring is properly connected, a
"click" should be heard and the light will illuminate (if a bulb
is installed). If there is no response from the Opener, check
power source and wiring.
To Align the Photo Eye Safety System:
1. When the Photo Eye System is properly connected and the
power is connected, one of the Photo Eyes will emit a
steady green light. This Photo Eye is the Emitter that
generates the Invisible Light Beam.
2. When properly aligned, the Sensor should emit a steady
red light when it senses the invisible light beam from the
Emitter.
3. If the indication is unsteady, flashes or is dim, check for
any obstructions and adjust the position until the Sensor
gives a STEADY RED LIGHT.
Note: The path of the invisible light beam MUST NOT be
obstructed. No part of the garage door or any
hardware should interfere with the beam or the
Opener will not close the door.
