CORD AND PLUG

To reduce the risk of electric shock, your opener is provided with an insulated 
power cord with a 3-prong grounding plug. The power cord permits easy 
connection to and disconnection from an electrical outlet. The power cord must be 
plugged-in to a standard grounded outlet. If there is no outlet available at the 
location, you must have a qualified electrician install an approved-grounded outlet 
at the proper location.

WARNING! 

To help prevent electrocution or fire, etc., the installation and wiring and 

outlet must be done in accordance with local electrical and building codes. DO NOT 
use an extension cord. DO NOT use a 3-prong to 2-prong plug adapter.   DO NOT 
modify or cut off the grounding pin on the plug.

Plug

 the power cord into a properly grounded outlet. The#8 LED on the opener 

control panel will illuminate, showing that the power is on. See Figure 23

OPTIONAL PERMANENT WIRING: (If required by your local electrical code)
WARNING! 

Contact a qualified electrician to run the necessary wiring to your 

opener and to perform the electrical connections.

Disconnect 

the power at the circuit breaker.

Remove

 the Power Head Housing. Unsnap the power cord strain relief cover by 

disengaging the tabs. Cut the power cord within 6" (152) of the terminal block.
Replace the strain relief cover by snapping tabs back into place. Knock out conduit 
hole, and bring in the permanent wiring and conduit. Secure conduit to chassis.
Attach wiring using suitable wire nuts (not provided). Reinstall power head housing. 

Connect

 power at the breaker. The #8 LED on the opener control panel will 

illuminate, showing that the power is on. See Figure 22
