WIRING

The LiftMaster CPICARD is used to connect the LC-36A and CPS-OPEN4 to a non-monitored operator. The CPICARD separates the 
incoming and outgoing logic, minimizing interference. The CPICARD accepts both pulsed and normally open contact devices which 
appear to the operator as normally open devices.

Refer to the manual for your specific operator’s wiring diagram.

The chart below shows some compatible non-LiftMaster operators. Refer to the manufacturer’s manual and wiring diagrams before 
installing accessories to any non-LiftMaster operator.
