Recommended Wire Routing
1. Using insulated staples, run the wires from both
sensors to the rail at the door header (see Figure 6).
2. Cross and twist the two wires where they meet the rail
(see inset A). Run the wires inside the channels at the
top of the rail, along each side, to the power unit and
pull taut (see inset B). Do not use the lower (trolley)
channels.
NOTE: If your access door is near the garage door,
you may choose to install the door control at this time
and run the door control wire along the rail with the
sensor wires. Use one rail channel for the door control
wire and the other channel for both sensor wires. If
you choose this option, follow instructions 1-3
on page 21 now.
3. Thread the wires through the tabs on top of the drive
shaft cover.
4. With your screwdriver tip, tuck the wires snugly into
the rail channels. You will complete the wiring in
