8-12. CONNECTING WIRES TO POWERHEAD

■Run wires from wall control panel and photo eye system along wall and ceiling to opener powerhead. Use the sta- ples that are provided to secure wiring to wall, joists and ceiling. Do not pinch wiring. Drive staples with only enough force to hold wiring in place. Refer to Fig. 9 on p.7 for an example of typical wiring routing.

NOTE: As an alternative for photo eye system, the wiring can be routed along the top of the rail, or along the out- side of the door track. Be sure the wiring is routed away from all moving parts of the door and rail.

■Separate 2” of double wire from each photo eye into two single wires. Strip about 1/2” of insulation from the end of each of the four single wires. Combine the white wires from each photo eye and twist stripped ends together tightly. Do the same with color striped wires.

■Open the control panel by slightly pulling on the panel cover cutout, then allowing the cover to hang open.

■Feed control panel and photo eye system wires through wire guide from the top of the chassis into terminal area of control panel.

■Firmly insert white wire combination into terminal hole #1 by pushing directly into hole. Insert color striped wire combination into terminal #2.

NOTE: If wires are difficult to insert, a screwdriver may be used to depress the terminal “tab” while inserting the wires. To remove wires, depress tab again and pull wires out.

■Insert white single wire from wall control into terminal #3 and single color striped wire into terminal #4.

NOTE: Multiple wall controls may be installed in parallel with wires connected to terminals #3 and #4.
