The two power leads ran straight to the motor. The other wires from the motor could go to either power lead. Switching these two wires would change the direction of the motor, allowing the motor to open and close a door. The new operators no longer require this type of function since they contain a LiftMaster Logic 5 control board.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ddmgaragedoors.com\/blog\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Relay-Motor-Wiring.jpg\" alt=\"A wiring diagram representing how the reversal of two wires changes the direction of the motor, pertaining to the LiftMaster Logic 5 control board.\" class=\"wp-image-4615\" width=\"561\" height=\"349\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ddmgaragedoors.com\/blog\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Relay-Motor-Wiring.jpg 984w, https:\/\/ddmgaragedoors.com\/blog\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Relay-Motor-Wiring-300x187.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ddmgaragedoors.com\/blog\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Relay-Motor-Wiring-768x479.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 561px) 100vw, 561px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>A relay reverses two of the wires to change the direction of the motor.<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The development of these systems occurred over a hundred years ago.

The main difference is that if you stop holding down the button while the door is closing, the opener will reverse and open the door again.
