8-15. MODULAR RECEIVER

Operating range between transmitter and opener may be reduced by electrical interference or radio signals in the area, concrete, steel or lead in and around the garage. To improve operating range you can select the best frequency for each particular installation. Plugging-in receiver module will help you to make changes simpler and faster. To replace receiver simply pull out existing module located on the top of the chassis, and slide in the new one. It will make a click- ing sound when the receiver module is locked into place.

Note: Each frequency receiver is supposed to have a match- ing transmitter. Reprogram the opener after you change the receiver module. (See section 8-18, p. 18).

8-16. CONNECT TO POWER

To reduce the risk of electric shock, your opener is provided with an insulated power cord with a 3-prong grounding plug. The cord must be connected to a standard grounding outlet. If there is no outlet available at the location, you must have a qualified electrician install an approved ground- ed outlet in this area.

To prevent electrocution or fire, installation

and wiring must be done in accordance with

local electrical and building codes. DO NOT use

an extension cord. DO NOT use a 3 to 2 plug

adapter. DO NOT modify or cut off the

grounding pin on the plug.

■Plug the opener into a properly grounded outlet (Fig. 35).

■An indicator light (LED #8) on the opener control panel will turn on showing that the power is “On” and the opener is ready to set the adjustments.

■DO NOT operate or run the opener at this time.

PERMANENT WIRING CONNECTION:

(If required by your local electrical code)

If local codes require your opener to be connected via permanent wiring instead of a cord and plug, your opener must be converted, as shown in Fig. 36. Contact a qualified electrician to run the necessary wiring to your opener and to perform the electrical connections.

To prevent electrocution, disconnect the opener

from power and turn off power at circuit

breaker for the circuit you will be using

to connect to the opener.

■Remove opener housing by removing screw underneath the control panel cover and two screws from back of housing, then pulling the housing away from the chassis.

■Remove screw and unsnap the power cord strain relief cover by disengaging the tabs, and remove this part (save for reattachment later).

■Cut the power cord leads close to where the cord enters opener, so that after cut, there is at least 6" of wiring remaining (white-neutral, black-hot, and green-ground) inside the opener connected to the varistor and trans- former.

■Remove the cut power cord and plug and discard. Replace the strain relief cover by snapping tabs back into place.

■Using a hammer and screwdriver or punch, knock out con- duit hole, and bring in the permanent wiring and conduit.

■Secure conduit to chassis (method varies depending on type of conduit used).

■Attach the incoming power leads (hot, neutral, and ground) to the remaining internal wires using suitable wire nuts (not provided).

■Reinstall opener housing and secure housing with screws. Make sure that when reinstalling opener housing, no wires will be pinched between the housing and the chassis.

■Complete the remaining installation.

■Turn on power at breaker.
