OPERATING INSTR UCTIONS

1. Test the installed battery with the motor unit.

To test the battery, disconnect the motor unit power cord from
the electrical outlet.

• A solid orange LED indicates the battery is operating on battery

power.

• A flashing orange LED with beep indicates the unit is operating

on battery power and that the battery charge is low.

• To test the battery is functioning properly, open and close the

garage door.

• Re-connect the motor unit power cord back into the electrical

outlet.

• Verify that the green LED is flashing on the BBU (indicates that

the battery is now charging).

• Test completed.

2. Charge the battery.

• Battery will take 24 to 48 hours to fully charge.

A fully charged battery supplies 12 Vdc to the motor unit for one
to two days of normal operation during an electrical power
outage. If the battery voltage drops too low, the batteries will
disconnect and the motor unit will no longer operate under
battery power.

After the electrical power has been restored, the battery will
recharge within 48 hours. Under normal usage batteries will last
3 to 5 years.

To obtain maximum battery life and prevent damage,
disconnect the battery when motor unit is unplugged for an
extended period of time.

NOTE: Door operation may be limited until battery is fully
charged. The motor unit’s lights will not turn on during battery
mode.
