Connecting Power; Aligning The Photo Eye Safety System - Craftsman 200.57983 Owner's Manual

Connecting Power

To prevent SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from electrocution or fire:
- Power MUST be DISCONNECTED BEFORE proceeding with permanent wiring procedures.
- Garage door opener installation and wiring MUST be in compliance with all local electrical and building
codes. Make sure the opener is ALWAYS grounded.
- NEVER use an extension cord, 2-wire adapter or modify the power plug in any way to make it fit the outlet.

Aligning the Photo Eye Safety System

To prevent SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from a closing garage door:
- The photo eye safety system MUST be installed BEFORE connecting power.
- The photo eye safety system MUST be properly connected and aligned BEFORE operating the opener.
NOTICE: The opener will not close until the photo eyes are installed. Photo eyes are required by federal law to
be installed on all openers.

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. Use of a surge protector is highly recommended.
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.
Aligning the Photo Eye Safety System:
1. When power is supplied, the green photo eye (Emitter) will flash
until it is aligned with the red photo eye (sensor). The red photo
eye will not light until it is aligned with the green eye.
2. When the photo eye system is properly aligned the green photo
eye (emitter) will emit a steady green light and the red photo eye
(sensor) will emit a steady red light.
3. If either of the photo eye lights are unsteady, flash or dim, check
for an obstruction and carefully adjust the position of the photo
eyes until they give a steady green light and 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 or block either sensor.
