STEP 9
Consult the label on the rear panel of the
Opener to determine its proper working voltage.
Normally it will be marked for 115V, 60 cycle
operation. (If it is an export model designed for 220V,
50 cycle operation, the label will clearly indicate this.)
The Opener must be plugged into a properly grounded
receptacle within 3 FT of the Power Unit. A GFI
Type receptacle is recommended. Do not use 2-prong
adapters and do not use extension cords for anything
more than temporary hook-up and testing purposes.
Receptacle wiring should be No. 14 or heavier, and
must be in compliance with local building and
electrical codes.
If local codes require permanent wiring, a GFI type
circuit breaker is recommended to protect the line.
Remove the Strain Relief Bushing and withdraw the
Line Cord from the rear of the Power Unit to expose the
three insulated connectors. Cut the wire at the rubber
jacket of the Line Cord and wire in permanently,
employing proper wiring practices. Discard Strain
Relief. It is not used with permanent wiring.
