Plug the opener into a properly grounded
electrical outlet (Fig. 5-1).
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this equipment
has a grounded type plug that includes a third
(grounding) pin. This plug will only fit a grounded type
outlet. If you do not have a grounded outlet, contact
a qualified licensed electrician to install one. DO NOT
alter the plug in any way. The door opener must be
properly grounded in order to prevent personal injury
and damage to the components.
DO NOT remove motor cover. All work performed
on motor must be done by a trained door system
technician.
WARNING
Check local building codes to make sure that you
are not required to have your garage door opener
permanently wired, with circuit breaker protection.
If building codes require door opener to be
permanently wired have a qualified licensed
electrician connect power with permanent wiring.

INFRARED PROTECTION FUNCTION
1. When the garage door is opening, its movement
will not be influenced if the Safe-T-Beam
®
is

2. If the Safe-T-Beam
®
is obstructed before the
garage door fully closes, the door will not close.
3. When the garage door is closing, if Safe-T-Beam
®
is cut off by people or obstacle, the garage door
will reverse automatically to its fully opened position.

System fails, loses power,
or is installed improperly, you will have to press
and hold the wall control "close" button until the
door reaches its fully closed position. The LED
