REQUIREMENTS

balanced doors with maximum height of 8 ft. and maximum weight of 500 lb.
The unit will provide operation of the door for 24 hours after a power loss.
Your garage door opener MUST have the matching Connection Cable
connector in the powerhead.
Do not tamper with or rewire Connection Cable.

of the powerhead.

that the bracket locks onto the ridges (Figure at Top Right) on top of the
Battery Back-Up unit. This prevents the unit from moving.

and it is locked into the mounting bracket.
