Before proceeding with the installation, prepare the re-
quired electrical cables by referring to “Figure 5” and to
that stated in the “TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS” chap-
ter (page 59).
a
The cables used must be suited to the type of environ-
ment of the installation site.
a
When laying the pipes for routing the electrical cables,
take into account that any water deposits in the junction
boxes may cause the connection pipes to form conden-
sate inside the control unit, thus damaging the electronic
circuits.
“Figure 6” shows typical installations for a protruding and non-protruding
overhead door.

For installation on protruding and non-protruding doors,
accessory SPA5 is required.
