CAUTION
RADIO RECONFIGURATION
If present we strongly recommend that the radio 
terminal strip be changed so that if a radio is used it 
can OPEN and/or RESET the timer rather than 
OPEN and CLOSE. This prevents accidental closing 
of the door when someone pushes the transmitter at 
the wrong time.
1 Trace the yellow wire from the R2 terminal on the 
radio strip (if supplied) to terminal #7.
2. Move this yellow wire from terminal #7 to terminal 
#1 (see figure 3).
NOTE:
If reconfigured, users of the radio can be told that if 
they are not sure when the door will close they can 
press the transmitter to reset the timer.
TIMER DEFEAT (optional)
If a timer defeat switch is desired cut either purple 
wire and wire in a simple on/off switch.
INSTALL THE CONTROL STATION WHERE THE 
DOOR IS VISIBLE, BUT AWAY FROM THE DOOR 
AND ITS HARDWARE. IF CONTROL STATION 
CANNOT BE INSTALLED WHERE DOOR IS 
VISIBLE, OR IF ANY DEVICE OTHER THAN THE 
CONTROL IS USED TO ACTIVATE THE DOOR, 
REVERSING EDGE MUST BE INSTALLED ON 
THE BOTTOM OF THE DOOR. 
INSTALL A REVERSING EDGE UNDER THESE 
CIRCUMSTANCES MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS 
INJURY OR DEATH TO PERSONS TRAPPED 
BENEATH THE DOOR.
