17receiver module. (See section 10-16, p. 20).To reduce the risk of electric shock, your opener is providedwith an insulated power cord with a 3-prong groundingplug. The cord must be connected to a standard groundingoutlet. If there is no outlet available at the location, youmust have a qualified electrician install an approved ground-ed outlet in this area. Plug the opener into a properly grounded outlet (Fig. 35). An indicator light (LED #8) on the opener control panelwill turn on showing that the power is “On” and theopener is ready to set the adjustments. DO NOT operate or run the opener at this time.PERMANENT WIRING CONNECTION:(If required by your local electrical code)If local codes require your opener to be connected viapermanent wiring instead of a cord and plug, your openermust be converted, as shown in Fig. 36. Contact a qualifiedelectrician to run the necessary wiring to your opener andto perform the electrical connections. Remove opener housing by removing screw underneaththe control panel cover and two screws from back ofhousing, then pulling the housing away from the chassis. Remove screw and unsnap the power cord strain reliefcover by disengaging the tabs, and remove this part (savefor reattachment later). Cut the power cord leads close to where the cord entersopener, so that after cut, there is at least 6" of wiringremaining (white-neutral, black-hot, and green-ground)inside the opener connected to the varistor and trans-former. Remove the cut power cord and plug and discard. Replacethe strain relief cover by snapping tabs back into place. Using a hammer and screwdriver or punch, knock out con-duit hole, and bring in the permanent wiring and conduit.8-16.

Toimprove operating range you can select the best frequencyfor each particular installation. Plugging-in receiver modulewill help you to make changes simpler and faster. To replacereceiver simply pull out existing module located on the topof the chassis, and slide in the new one. It will make a click-ing sound when the receiver module is locked into place.Note: Each frequency receiver is supposed to have a match-ing transmitter. Reprogram the opener after you change thereceiver module. (See section 8-18, p. 18).8-15. MODULAR RECEIVER Secure conduit to chassis (method varies dependingon type of conduit used). Attach the incoming power leads (hot, neutral, andground) to the remaining internal wires using suitablewire nuts (not provided). Reinstall opener housing and secure housing with screws.Make sure that when reinstalling opener housing, no wireswill be pinched between the housing and the chassis.
