POWER WIRING
This operator can be powered by the internal receptacle, an external
receptacle or a solar panel (not provided).
INTERNAL RECEPTACLE
NOTE: All power wiring should be on a dedicated circuit, calculated using NEC
guidelines. National and local codes and conditions must be reviewed for suitability
of wire installation.
Remove the access panel.
Connect AC power to the operator:
Connect the green wire to the ground screw in the access panel.
Connect the black and white wires together with wire nuts.
HEATER WIRING:

If your operator comes with a heater it will have to be wired. The heater may
be wired to the internal receptacle or a separate junction box.
If wiring the heater to the internal receptacle, thread the heater wires through the
same knockout as the power wires. Connect the heater wires to the power wires with
wire nuts (green to green, black to black, and white to white).
Replace the access panel.
Connect the wires from the transformer to the AC PWR/SOLAR terminal located
on the control board.
