Chamberlain CLSS1 manual

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.

Model CLSS1

Garage Door Opener Surge Protector

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)

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.

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

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.

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.

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:

• 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.

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.

Chamberlain warrants to the original purchaser of any 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 pur- chase, and will repair or replace, at its option, any defective surge protector free of charge.

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. Damaged equipment must remain available for inspection until the claim is finalized. The Chamberlain Surge Protector is not intended for use with any product(s) other than Connected Equipment.

If you wish to make a warranty claim, please call 800- 528-9131 for instructions. You will need your receipt for the Chamberlain Surge Protector.

All Chamberlain Surge Protectors must be plugged directly into the power source and must not be “daisy- chained” together in serial fashion with other power strips, UPS, other surge protectors or extension cords. Any such installation voids the limited warranty. This limited warranty only protects against damage to 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.
