Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions. I guess i'll go with metal piping then for my DC system. It's not all that expensive here, a 7' pipe is about 25 USD, and a 90 degree fitting is about half that price. And if it's better than PVC i'll just go with it. Thanks for the advice! And...

Hi Bret Hope you don't mind a newbie stopping by here. I've been reading through your thread and i am impressed with the things you do in your shop and the attitude you seem to have to everything shop related and otherwise. I have decided to turn half of my garage into a wood shop, and i have...

Well it's been a while, but i'm happy to report that i bought and got the internal 230 V transformer from LM Europe. Installed it in my 8500 and it works like a charm! I still have the CTM cables connected properly to the motor unit, but the CTM unit itself put to the side and with the arm...

OK, manwithtools, i hear you. I can't believe how something so simple can make my head hurt. Here is how i reason: When CTM is installed correctly, the arm doesn't touch the swith, (closed loop) when arm is removed, (my set up), switch still unaffected (closed loop), if cable breaks, arm snappes...

manwithtools, you are absolutely correct, the arm on the CTM has to be held open. Wouldn't that be the same thing as me removing it from the unit itself with the microswitch? I figuered a removed arm is the same thing as when it's positioned on the cable in regards of not touching the...

Yes manwithtools, i had everything installed and wired per instructions before i tried to set travel limits on door. Solenoid lock never engaged, photo-eyes down by floor correctly installed too, left side steady orange light, right side steady green light. Only thing not per instructions is...

Yeah, really weird. As far as i know nothing exept the input side of the 220/120 has been fed with 220V. Took opener new out of box and installed on end of spring axle exactly per instructions. Took new 220/120 unit new out of box and installed U.S. 120V prong in outlet, then plugged in other...

I got confirmation from LM Europe. The LM unit i bought is 120V operated and have been namned 8500 and is mainly intended for the North American market. It's European cousin needs 240V to wake up, and is called 3800TX. My googling spree has led me to believe that the only difference between the...

I just e-mailed LM Europe and asked if i could buy the 240V transformer from them, and also the part number. I don't know how much it is, but if i get a part number for it maybe i can look around a bit..seems difficult to find the part number for the 240V transformer..

I just went to Liftmaster Europe, and found this: https://www.shopssl.de/epages/es122868.sf/en_GB/?ObjectPath=/Shops/es122868/Products/41C242 could this be what i need?

And manwithtools, you were faster than me with your comment. I really apppreciate your help. guys! Thank you!

American Locomotive, that is great news, thank you! I think i have to take my motor down and open the casing and take a closer look at things. Do you think i could order a 240V transformer from Liftmaster, or could it be available from a different place? Spend a little time googling, maybe...

Stuart, i checked just now, and it seems we have a retailer here in Sweden that carries the full Liftmaster program of products. I have tried calling and e-mailing, but no response yet. And since i already have installed the 120V U.S. version, i'm thinking the chances are slim to none that they...

walta, you're probably right about getting a response from Liftmaster. I won't hold my breath while waiting.. No response yet about shipping costs from the company in dave89iroc:s link. If the shipping cost turns out to be sensible, i think i'll go with a 2000VA unit from them. That should put...

dave89iroc, thank you for that link. I just sent them an e-mail asking for a shipping cost to Sweden. Since it's sunday, i don't expect to hear from them untill tomorrow..
