REQUIREMENTS This unit is designed to work with specific garage door openers on properly balanced doors with a maximum height of 8 ft. and a maximum weight of 500 lb. The unit will provide operation of the door for 24 hours after a power loss. Your garage door opener MUST have the matching Connection Cable connector in the powerhead. Do not tamper with or rewire Connection Cable. The unit may be wall mounted provided mounting location is within 24 inches of the powerhead. The unit must be inserted into the mounting bracket as far as it will go so that the bracket locks onto the ridges (Figure at Top Right) on top of the Battery Back-Up unit. This prevents the unit from moving. The unit must be mounted so that the Status LEDs are visible from the floor, and it is locked into the mounting bracket.
