MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS FOR STAR250
Location: Select a convienent location near your device
to be controlled by the STAR250. For best performance,
the STAR250 should be mounted in “Line-Of-Sight” with
your intended transmitting location. Avoid mounting the
STAR250 in or on metallic enclosures. If this is
unavoidable, we recommend installing the antenna
extension kit (G86LM) for best results. See Remote
Antenna Mounting for proper installation.
Receiver Mounting: Mount Backplate to desired surface
using #6 hardware (Not supplied). Hardware used will
depend on on mounting application. (Refer to figure 1 for
Receiver mounting hole locations). Wire electrical
connections to unit. Snap Unit to Back Plate.
Direct Antenna Mounting: Install the supplied antenna
onto the STAR250 antenna connector by screwing the
connector clockwise. Slide the seal boot down to meet the
O-Ring, covering the antenna hardware.
WARNING
Disconnect power to access device before installing
receiver or removing/replacing receiver cover.
Remote Antenna Mounting: Use the optional G86LM
antenna extension kit to mount the remote antenna as
high and far from metal as possible for best radio range
(See figure 2). Contact LiftMaster customer service at
1-800-528-2806 to order the model G86LM.
