INTRODUCTION
Older Chamberlain door controls and third party products are not compatible. Install the door control
within sight of the door at a minimum height of 5 feet (1.5 m) above floors, landings, steps or any other
adjacent walking surface, where small children cannot reach, and away from the moving parts of the
door. For gang box installations it is not necessary to drill holes or install the drywall anchors. Use the
existing holes in the gang box.

wires to connect, note which wires are used so the correct wires are connected to the garage
door opener in a later step.
