Mounting the Receiver
Consider the following when mounting the receiver:
• Standard receiver cable length is 10 feet (receivers with a longer cable are available as
special order items; call the GTO Sales Department). NEVER splice receiver cable!
• Run the cable through PVC conduit to protect it from damage.
• DO NOT run cable through metal conduit because the receiver signal range will be
decreased.
• DO NOT run cable in conduit containing AC wiring.
• DO NOT mount receiver on a metal fence or post; doing so will decrease signal range.
• DO NOT overtighten the mounting screws; the receiver housing could be warped and
the weather seal damaged.
• The receiver range can vary from 50 to 100 feet depending upon weather, topography,
and external interference.

Step 24
Strip approximately 3/16" of insulation from each wire of the
40 foot power cable. Twist each exposed wire tightly. Insert
the second opener power cable upward through the right
strain relief (if necessary, loosen the sealing nut). Thread
approximately 4" of wire into the control box. Retighten
strain relief (on the
black sheath
of the power cable) until the
power cable locks into place.
Insert the stripped wires of the power cable into the
appropriate terminals on the SECOND OPERATOR
terminal block. The green wire should be inserted into the
GRN terminal, the blue wire into BLU, the orange wire into
ORG, black wire into BLK, and the red wire into the RED
terminal.
Tighten the set screws against the end of the wires.
