To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from electrocution or fire:
l
Be sure power is NOT connected to the operator, and disconnect power to circuit BEFORE removing cover
to establish permanent wiring connection.
l
Door installation and wiring MUST be in compliance with ALL local electrical and building codes.
l
NEVER use an extension cord, 2-wire adapter, or change plug in ANY way to make it fit outlet. Be sure the
operator is grounded.
To avoid installation difficulties, do not activate the door operator at this time.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, your door operator 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 your outlet, contact a qualified electrician to install the
proper outlet.
THERE ARE TWO OPTIONS FOR CONNECTING POWER:
OPTION A - TYPICAL WIRING
1.
Plug in the door operator into a grounded outlet.
2.
DO NOT run door operator at this time.
TYPICAL WIRING
OPTION B - PERMANENT WIRING
If permanent wiring is required by your local code, refer to the following procedure. To make a permanent
connection through the 7/8 inch hole in the top of the motor unit (according to local code):
1.
Remove the motor unit cover screws and set the cover aside.
2.
Remove the attached 3-prong cord.
3.
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.
