receiver module. (See section 10-16, p. 20).

To reduce the risk of electric shock, your opener is provided

with an insulated power cord with a 3-prong grounding

plug. The cord must be connected to a standard grounding

outlet. If there is no outlet available at the location, you

must have a qualified electrician install an approved ground-

ed outlet in this area.

■ Plug the opener into a properly grounded outlet (Fig. 35).

■ An indicator light (LED #8) on the opener control panel

will turn on showing that the power is “On” and the

opener is ready to set the adjustments.

■ DO NOT operate or run the opener at this time.

PERMANENT WIRING CONNECTION:

(If required by your local electrical code)

If local codes require your opener to be connected via

permanent wiring instead of a cord and plug, your opener

must be converted, as shown in Fig. 36. Contact a qualified

electrician to run the necessary wiring to your opener and

to perform the electrical connections.

■ Remove opener housing by removing screw underneath

the control panel cover and two screws from back of

housing, then pulling the housing away from the chassis.

■ Remove screw and unsnap the power cord strain relief

cover by disengaging the tabs, and remove this part (save

for reattachment later).

■ Cut the power cord leads close to where the cord enters

opener, so that after cut, there is at least 6" of wiring

remaining (white-neutral, black-hot, and green-ground)

inside the opener connected to the varistor and trans-

former.

■ Remove the cut power cord and plug and discard. Replace

the strain relief cover by snapping tabs back into place.

■ Using a hammer and screwdriver or punch, knock out con-

duit hole, and bring in the permanent wiring and conduit.

To prevent electrocution or fire, installation

and wiring must be done in accordance with

local electrical and building codes. DO NOT use

an extension cord. DO NOT use a 3 to 2 plug

adapter. DO NOT modify or cut off the

grounding pin on the plug.

To prevent electrocution, disconnect the opener

from power and turn off power at circuit

breaker for the circuit you will be using

to connect to the opener.

Operating range between transmitter and opener may be

reduced by electrical interference or radio signals in the

area, concrete, steel or lead in and around the garage. To

improve operating range you can select the best frequency

for each particular installation. Plugging-in receiver module

will help you to make changes simpler and faster. To replace

receiver simply pull out existing module located on the top

of the chassis, and slide in the new one. It will make a click-

ing sound when the receiver module is locked into place.

Note: Each frequency receiver is supposed to have a match-

ing transmitter. Reprogram the opener after you change the

receiver module. (See section 8-18, p. 18).

8-15. MODULAR RECEIVER

■ Secure conduit to chassis (method varies depending

on type of conduit used).

■ Attach the incoming power leads (hot, neutral, and

ground) to the remaining internal wires using suitable

wire nuts (not provided).

■ Reinstall opener housing and secure housing with screws.

Make sure that when reinstalling opener housing, no wires

will be pinched between the housing and the chassis.

■ Complete the remaining installation.

■ Turn on power at breaker.
