4.0 out of 5 stars 40 ft. distance restriction is a TYPO?, May 26, 2011

As stated by another reviewer, an insert in this product states: "CAUTION - Do not install this device if there is not at least 10 meters (30 feet) between the electrical outlet and the electrical service panel".

HOWEVER, I emailed Chamberlain's customer support and received a reply stating that the insert is in error. The actual directions state that the surge suppressor should be installed less than 4 feet from the *opener*, not the service panel. So I'm keeping these after all.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't buy if your garage door opener is near the electrical service panel, June 25, 2011

I bought this but it's not until I opened the box that I realized it's useless to me.

There's a warning both as a box insert and etched on the back of the surge protector that says: (the exact words)

CAUTION - Do not install this device if there is not at least 10 meters (30 feet) or more of wire between the electrical outlet and the electrical service panel.

What a surprise! The electrical service panel where the master electrical switch to the house is, is right there on the garage wall in my house. The distance between the electrical outlet serving the opener and the electrical service panel is not more than 10 feet, let alone 30 feet.

Poor description on all websites I looked over that sell this product. This warning should have been clearly included in product description.

Power surges were partially opening the garage door. Installed this device that protects all the low voltage wiring. Power surges have happened but the door remains shut. Safe & sound. I like it!
