Owner's Instructions:  
The Garage Door Opener Surge Protector is designed to protect garage door  
openers against damage from lightning and power surges. The Surge Protector  
will stop radiated surge currents from coming through wall control and saftey  
sensor wires, as well as surge currents from coming through AC power line  
according to the rating chart shown below.  
Plug the Surge Protector into grounded (3-wire) 120V AC outlet within four (4)  
feet of the garage door opener. Plugging Surge Protector into a GFCI (Ground  
Fault Circuit Interrupter) is acceptable, but not recommended as power surges  
may cause the GFCI to trip and you will need to reset the outlet in order to oper-  
ate the garage door opener.

SAFETY SENSORS  
To IR sensor  
input connectors  
Before you begin:  
protector, use the 5’ piece of white-white/black 24  
AWG bell wire (included) as EXTENSION from  
surge protector to opener.  
• Note polarity/wire colors, twist original wire with  
extension wire together, and insert into surge  
protector. The terminals colored white and gray on  
the surge protector are designated for the IR  
sensor wires.  
Follow these steps:  
It is recommended that you label wires prior to  
removing them from the garage door opener. Label  
safety sensor wires and wall control wires using  
color codes if applicable.  
1. Unplug Surge Protector and garage door opener  
from AC outlet.  
2.Verify that the safety sensor wires are connected  
to the gray and white terminals on the Surge  
Protector. If not, re-wire Surge Protector  
following above instructions.  
3. If connected to the gray and white terminals and  
LED's are still not illuminated, disconnect the  
twisted wires from both gray and white terminals  
and switch positions. Ensure they are making a  
good connection within the terminals of the Surge  
Protector.
