Install The Door Control - Chamberlain 2565 Owner's Manual

INSTALLATION STEP 6

Install the Door Control

Locate door control within sight of the door at a
minimum height of 5 feet where small children
cannot reach, and away from moving parts of the
door and door hardware. The installation surface
must be smooth and flat. If installing into drywall
(Fig. 1), drill 5/32" holes and use anchors provided.
For pre-wired installations (as in new home
construction), it may be mounted to a single gang
box (Fig. 2). NOTE: After installation, a green
indicator light behind the cover will indicate proper
connection. If not lit, the Lock and Light features will
not function (reverse wires to correct).
1. Strip 7/16" of insulation from one end of bell wire
and connect to the two screw terminals on back of
door control by color: white wire to 2 and white/red
wire to the 1.(Fig.3)
2. Remove white cover by gently prying at slot in top
of the cover with a small flat head screwdriver.
Fasten with 6ABx1-1/4"self-tapping screws
(standard installation) or 6-32x1" machine screws
(into gang box) as follows:
• Drill and install bottom screw, allowing 1/8" to
protrude above wall surface.
• Position bottom of door control on screw head
and slide down to secure. Adjust screw for snug
fit.
• Install top screw with care to avoid
cracking plastic housing. Do not overtighten.
• Insert top tabs and snap on cover. (To remove
cover after mounting, gently pry at top with paper
clip or small flat head screwdriver.)
3. (Standard installation only) Run bell wire up wall
and across ceiling to motor unit. Use insulated
staples to secure wire in several places. Do not
pierce wire with a staple, creating a short or open
circuit.
4. Strip 7/16" of insulation from end of bell wire.
Connect bell wire to the quick-connect terminals
as follows: white to white and white/red to red..
5. Use tacks or staples to permanently attach
entrapment warning label to wall near door control,
and manual release/safety reverse test label in a
prominent location on inside of garage door.
NOTE: DO NOT connect the power and operate the
opener at this time. The trolley will travel to the full
open position but will not return to the close position
until the sensor beam is connected and properly
aligned. See Safety Reversing Sensor Instructions
beginning on page 17.
To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from
electrocution:
• Be sure power is not connected BEFORE installing door
control.
• Connect ONLY to 24 VOLT low voltage wires.
To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from a
closing garage door:
• Install door control within sight of garage door, out of
reach of children at a minimum height of 5 feet, and away
from all moving parts of door.
• NEVER permit children to operate or play with door control
push buttons or remote control transmitters.
• Activate door ONLY when it can be seen clearly, is properly
adjusted, and there are no obstructions to door travel.
• ALWAYS keep garage door in sight until completely closed.
NEVER permit anyone to cross path of closing garage door.
