Plug the transformer into the electrical outlet and turn the power
switch on the opener to the ON position.
The use of a surge protector with the transformer is strongly
recommended.
Step 22
At the AC outlet strip
1
/2" of insulation from the ends of the
low voltage wire. Attach these stripped ends to the transformer
terminals.
A dab of household petroleum jelly on each terminal will help
prevent corrosion.
We suggest crimping a spade tongue terminal (not provided) to
the end of each wire before attaching it to the transformer.
Make sure the exposed wires do not touch each other!

Strip
3
/16" off the ends of the low voltage wire and twist
tightly. Insert these ends to the 18 VAC INPUT terminal
block located on the control board (see illustration at
right). The wires can be inserted into either terminal
regardless of color. Be certain not to let the exposed
wires touch each other!
Secure the wires by pressing down on the white terminal
block tabs until they lock in place. A dab of household
petroleum jelly on each terminal will help prevent
corrosion.
