LiftMaster strongly recommends the installation of the Surge Protection
Module to protect the gate operator from harmful surges caused by lightning
strike phenomenon.
It is important to recognize that the surge protection module may not prevent
damage to the gate operator in the event of a direct lightning strike.
The success of the surge protection will be based in the proper installation of
the Surge Protection Module and the proper grounding of both the surge
protector module and the gate operator itself.

Earth Ground Rod Installation
Proper grounding gives an electrical charge, such as from an
electrical static discharge or a near lightning strike, a path from
which to dissipate its energy safely into the earth.
Without this path, the intense energy generated by lightning could be
directed towards the gate operator. Although nothing can absorb the
tremendous power of a direct lightning strike, proper grounding can
protect the gate operator in most cases.
Avoid damaging gas, power, or other underground
utility lines.
The earth ground rod must be located 2 to 3 feet
from the gate operator.
The ground wire must be a single, whole piece
of wire. Never splice two wires for the ground
wire. If you should cut the ground wire too
short, break it, or destroy its integrity, replace it
with a single wire length.
Not responsible for improper installation or
failure to comply with all necessary local
building codes.
