INSTALLATION STEP 8
Electrical Requirements
To avoid installation difficulties, do not run the opener
until Step 11 below.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, your garage door
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, contact a
qualified electrician to install the proper outlet.
RIGHT
WRONG
If permanent wiring is required by your local code,
refer to the following procedure.
To make a permanent connection through the 7/8" hole in
the top of the motor unit:
• Remove the motor unit cover screws and set the cover
aside.
• Remove the attached 3-prong cord.
• Connect the 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 opener must be grounded.
• Reinstall the cover.
To avoid installation difficulties, do not run the opener
at this time.
INSTALLATION STEP 9
Complete the Safety Reversing Sensor
Installation
ALIGNING THE SAFETY REVERSING SENSORS
• Plug in the opener. The indicator lights in both the
sending and receiving eyes will glow steadily if wiring
connections and alignment are correct.
The sending eye amber indicator light will glow regardless
of alignment or obstruction. If the green indicator light in
the receiving eye is off, dim, or flickering (and the invisible
light beam path is not obstructed), alignment is required:
• Loosen the sending eye wing nut and readjust, aiming
directly at the receiving eye. Lock in place.
• Loosen the receiving eye wing nut and adjust the
sensor until it receives the sender’s beam. When the
green indicator light glows steadily, tighten the wing nut.
