GDO blaQ

gdo-blaq-angleThe GDO blaQ itself is obviously the star of the show! Its ABS plastic enclosure and industrial tech design will make it a smart addition to your garage in more ways than one.

Power Adapter

Essential for powering your GDO blaQ, the power adapter should be plugged into a standard wall outlet near your garage opener motor or wall button. The blaQ ships with a 12V 1A (12W) power adapter with the appropriate plug type for your country.

 

Hook-Up Wire

All it takes is two wires — red and white, to connect the GDO blaQ to your garage opener motor or wall button. We include a 1m (~3.3 feet) length of 22-gauge red and white wire, with ends stripped and ready to hook up.

Mounting Kit

The mounting kit contains two screws and two 3M command strips for permanent or damage-free mounting on the ceiling, wall or garage opener motor itself.

Mini Screwdriver Pen
