OPTION B: PERMANENT WIRING
CONNECTION
If permanent wiring is required
by your local code, refer to the
following procedure.
1. To make a permanent connection
through the 7/8 inch hole in the back
of the garage door opener (according
to local code):
2. Be sure power is NOT connected to
the opener, and disconnect power to
circuit.
3. Remove the garage door opener from
the torsion bar, remove cover screws
and set the cover aside.
4. Cut the line cord 6" (15.2 cm) above
the strain relief.
5. Squeeze the strain relief and push into
garage door opener, then remove the
strain relief from the line cord.
6. Install a 90° conduit (not provided)
or flex cable adapter (not provided)
to the 7/8" hole. Reinstall garage door
opener to torsion bar.
7. Run wires through conduit, cut to
proper length and strip insulation.
8. Strip 1/2" (1.3 cm) of insulation from
the existing black, white and green
wires.
9. Connect the line to the black wire and
neutral to the white wire with wire
nuts (not provided). Connect ground
wire to the green ground screw.
10. Properly secure wires under plastic
ties so that they do not come into
contact with moving parts.
11. Reinstall cover.
To avoid installation difficulties, do
not run the garage door opener at
this time.
To reduce the risk of electric shock,
your garage door opener 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 the outlet you
have, contact a qualified electrician to
install the proper outlet.
There are two options for
connecting power:
OPTION A: TYPICAL WIRING
1. Plug in the garage door opener
into a grounded outlet.
2. DO NOT run garage door opener at
this time.
To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from electrocution or fire:
• Be sure power is NOT connected to the opener, and disconnect power to
circuit BEFORE removing cover to establish permanent wiring connection.
• Garage door installation and wiring MUST be in compliance with ALL local
electrical and building codes.
• NEVER use an extension cord, 2-wire adapter or change plug in ANY way
to make it fit outlet. Be sure the opener is grounded.
