Install The Door Control - Craftsman 139.53993DM Owner's Manual

INSTALLATION STEP 7

Install the Door Control

Locate door control within sight of door, at a minimum height
of 5 feet (1.52 m) where small children cannot reach, away from
moving parts of door and door hardware. If installing into drywall,
drill 5/32" holes and use the anchors provided. For pre-wired
installations (as in new home construction), it may be mounted to
a single gang box (Figure 2).
1. Strip 7/16" (11 mm) 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.
2. Remove cover by gently prying at slot in side of the cover
with a small fl at head screwdriver. Fasten with 6ABx1-1/4"
self-tapping screws (drywall installation) or 6-32x1" machine
screws (into gang box) as follows:
• Drill and install bottom screw, allowing 1/8" (3 mm) to
protrude above wall surface.
• Position bottom of door control on screw head and slide
down to secure. Adjust screw for snug fi t.
• Drill and install top screw with care to avoid cracking plastic
housing. Do not overtighten.
• Insert top tabs and snap on cover.
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. If your access door is near the garage door, you
may run this wire with the Safety Reversing Sensor wires along
the top of the rail. See page 17.
4. Insert all wires through the opening on top of motor unit above
the terminal block on the back panel (Figure 3).
5. Strip 7/16" (11 mm) of insulation from each set of wires. Insert
door control wire into quick-connect terminals by color: white
wire to white, white/red wire to red.
Separate white and white/black wires suffi ciently to connect to
the opener quick-connect terminals. Twist like colored wires
together. Insert wires into quick-connect holes: white to white
and white/black to grey.
NOTE: When connecting multiple door controls to the opener,
twist same color wires together. Insert wires into quick-connect
holes: white to white and red/white to red.
6. 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.
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 (1.5 m), 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.
To opener quick-connect terminals: white to white; white/red
to red.
