Connect Opener Power Cables
Step 1
Bring FIRST power cable into the control box through a strain relief slot,
leaving enough wire to reach the FIRST OPR. terminal block.
Insert the individual power cable wires into appropriate terminals
on the FIRST OPR. terminal block (white to WHT; green to GRN; red to
RED; black to BLK). Tighten the set screws.
Step 2
Pull the 36' second opener power cable through the PVC conduit and
secure in the driveway slot/trench (see pages 6 and 14).
Step 3
Insert the SECOND power cable into a strain relief slot. Bring power
cable into the control box through a strain relief slot, leaving enough

This particular gauge enables the transformer to provide an adequate charge through the control board to the
battery at distances up to 1000'.

Step 1
Make sure the power switch is OFF.
Step 2
Select the electrical outlet where you will plug the transformer. Measure
the distance from this outlet to the control box following the path
where the wire will be laid. After you have measured how much wire is
needed, cut the wire to the appropriate length (up to 1000').
