connection option is to be used.
CONCEALED WIRING:
Both high & low voltage conduit lines should be run to door
frame and made accessible through two holes to be drilled in
frame per proper template on page 4 or 5.
SURFACE WIRING:
Mounting channel must be mounted to frame BEFORE running
high & low voltage conduit lines to the operator.
1. Prepare door and frame per template on page 4 for 4630/
page 5 for 4640. Be sure all holes are located correctly
before drilling and/or tapping. Mounting surface of frame
must be vertically level. Conduit access holes in frame
are for CONCEALED WIRING ONLY! If using concealed
wiring option, see step 2 below. FOR SURFACE WIRING,
proceed to step 3.
2. Refer to correct template to determine proper location
for conduit. Remove appropriate conduit plugs, exposing
conduit holes in back of mounting channel, as shown in
Fig 1. Attach 1/2” conduit to mounting channel, as shown in
Fig 2. Place mounting channel into position on frame. Once
mountingchannelisinpositionandushonframe,insert
fasteners and tighten securely.
