COURTESY LIGHT MODIFICATION
STANDARD OPERATORS
71-2954029
APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS
This wiring modification is for standard mechanical operators
models T, GT, J, H, GH, SD, GSD, DJ and DH. 115 Vac is required
for the light. Not for use on logic operators.
FUNCTIONS
This modification provides a light socket on the operator control
enclosure. The light will turn on when the door starts to open. It
will remain on for several minutes, similar to the courtesy light in
a residential garage door opener.
INSTALLATION
1. Disconnect power to the operator.
2. Make sure the provided contact blocks fit the contactor.
Install the contact blocks on top of the contactor. Carefully
bend the wires that are located on top of the contactor out of
the way and ensure the connectors do not touch any
adjacent terminals.
3. Connect the 4" black wire across terminals 61 on the open
and closed contactor (Figure 1).
4. Connect the orange wire from the open #62 auxiliary contact
to the CR relay (Figure 1). The CR relay has one remaining
coil terminal adjacent to the white wire; connect the orange
wire to this corner terminal (Figure 1).
5. Connect the red wire from the closed contactor #62 to the
transformer’s wire nut (on most operators radio terminal R3
on the outside of the electrical box can also be used instead
of the wire nut) (Figure 1).
6. Connect the gray wire from 5 on the terminal strip to #5 in
the operator (Figure 2).
7. Connect the long white and black wires to L1 and L2
(Figure 1).
NOTE: Step 7 is valid only on 115V operators (For other
voltages a 115 V is required).
To avoid SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY or DEATH from
electrocution, disconnect electric power to operator BEFORE
installing light delay kit.
