Chamberlain Surge Protector that the surge protector
shall be free of defects in material and workmanship for
a period of one (1) year from the date of original
purchase, and will repair or replace, at its option, any
defective surge protector free of charge. The proper
operation of the Chamberlain Surge Protector may
destroy the protector itself. Such an event is not a defect
and is not covered by this limited warranty.
For a period of one (1) year from the date of original
purchase of any Chamberlain Surge Protector,
Chamberlain will provide up to $100 to repair or replace,
at its option, damaged garage door opener parts or
components (“Connected Equipment”) which is
damaged by a transient voltage surge (an
“Occurrence”), while properly connected through a
Chamberlain Surge Protector to a properly wired AC
power line with protective ground. This limited warranty
is null and void unless all wires leading into the
equipment pass through an appropriate Chamberlain
Surge Protector as further described herein.
Chamberlain reserves the right to review the damaged
Chamberlain Surge Protector, the damaged Connected
Equipment and the site where the damaged occurred.
All costs of shipping the Chamberlain Surge Protector
and the damaged equipment to Chamberlain for
inspection shall be borne solely by the purchaser.

product(s) other than Connected Equipment.
If you wish to make a warranty claim, please call 800-
654-4736 for instructions. You will need your receipt for

are null and void if the Chamberlain Surge Protector in
use during the occurrence is not provided to
Chamberlain for inspection upon Chamberlain’s request
at the sole expense of the purchaser, Chamberlain
determines that the Chamberlain Surge Protector has
been improperly installed, altered in any way or
tampered with, Chamberlain determines that the
damage did not result from the occurrence or that no
occurrence in fact took place, or Chamberlain
determines that the Connected Equipment was not
used under normal operating conditions or in
accordance with all labels and instructions.
All Chamberlain Surge Protectors must be plugged
directly into the power source and must not be
“daisychained” together in serial fashion with other
power strips, UPS, other surge protectors or extension
cords. Any such installation voids the limited warranty.

properly connected equipment where Chamberlain has
determined, in its sole discretion, that the damage
resulted from an Occurrence, and does not protect
against acts of God such as flood, earthquake, direct
lightning strike, war, vandalism, theft, normal-use wear
and tear, erosion, depletion, obsolescence, abuse,
damage due to low voltage disturbances (i. e.
brownouts or sags), non-authorized program or system
equipment modification or alteration. This warranty is

Equipment, including, but not limited to, any
manufacturer’s warranty, extended warranties or
insurance coverage.

Before you begin:
It is recommended that you label wires prior to
removing them from the garage door opener. Label
safety sensor wires and wall control wires using
color codes if applicable.
Installing the wall control wires:
• At the garage door opener, remove the wall control
wires from opener terminals, noting polarity and/or
wire color positions.
• Since these wires will now be routed to the surge
protector, use the 5’ piece of white-white/red 24
AWG bell wire (included) as EXTENSION from
surge protector to opener.
• Note polarity/wire colors, twist original wire with
extension wire together, and insert into surge
protector. The terminals colored red and white on
the surge protector are designated for the doorbell
button/wall control wires.
• Attach wires to opener terminals in same order/
color combination as original installation. (Consult
owners manual if necessary).
Installing the safety sensor wires:
• At the garage door opener, remove the safety
sensor wires from opener terminals, noting
polarity and/or wire color positions.
•Since these wires will now be routed to the surge
protector, use the 5’ piece of white-white/black 24
AWG bell wire (included) as EXTENSION from
surge protector to opener.
• Note polarity/wire colors, twist original wire with
extension wire together, and insert into surge
protector. The terminals colored white and gray on
the surge protector are designated for the IR
sensor wires.
• Attach wires to opener terminals in same order/
color combination as original installation. (Consult
owners manual if necessary).
Installing the Surge Protector:
• Plug Surge Protector into AC outlet
• Plug garage door opener into outlet on front of
Surge Protector
•Test garage door opener for proper operation. Be
sure to test all functions including wall control,
keypad, safety sensors (Door Reversal Test - See
garage door opener manual for instructions) and
any other accessories.
Note: After completing installation and restoring
power to the garage door opener, check illumination
of safety sensor LED's (located on safety sensors).
If not illuminated, the wires for the safety sensors
may be crossed at the Surge Protector.
Follow these steps:
1. Unplug Surge Protector and garage door opener
from AC outlet.
2.Verify that the safety sensor wires are connected
to the gray and white terminals on the Surge
Protector. If not, re-wire Surge Protector
following above instructions.
3. If connected to the gray and white terminals and
LED's are still not illuminated, disconnect the
twisted wires from both gray and white terminals
and switch positions. Ensure they are making a
good connection within the terminals of the Surge
Protector.
4. Reconnect AC power to both Surge Protector and
garage door opener.
LED Indicator: The indicator light should be
illuminated when the surge protector is plugged into
AC power and is protecting your garage door opener
system. If the indicator light goes out, the surge
protector has sacrificed (depleted) itself to protect
the garage door opener system and should be
replaced immediately.
To protect the door opener low voltage control wires from lightning damage, control wires will be rerouted from the door opener to the surge protector, continuing the
connection to the door opener. This protects the opener’s control wiring.
Model CLSS1C
Garage Door Opener Surge Protector
Owner's Instructions:
The Garage Door Opener Surge Protector is designed to protect garage door
openers against damage from lightning and power surges. The Surge Protector
will stop radiated surge currents from coming through wall control and saftey
sensor wires, as well as surge currents from coming through AC power line
according to the rating chart shown below.
Plug the Surge Protector into grounded (3-wire) 120V AC outlet within four (4)
feet of the garage door opener. Plugging Surge Protector into a GFCI (Ground
Fault Circuit Interrupter) is acceptable, but not recommended as power surges
may cause the GFCI to trip and you will need to reset the outlet in order to
operate the garage door opener
.
WARNING
To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from electrocution:
• Unplug Garage Door Opener from AC outlet and be sure power is disconnected BEFORE installing the Surge Protector.
• Connect terminals ONLY to 24 VOLT low voltage wires.
• The Surge Protector is ONLY for indoor Use.
• DO NOT perform installation during a lightning storm (visible lightning)
