Chamberlain 79LM Quick Start Manual

WARNING
FOR USE WITH GARAGE DOOR OPENERS MANUFACTURED
CAUTION
AFTER JANUARY 1, 1995. To ensure proper functioning of
your opener, remove all old or previous push buttons/wall
control panels. Use only the enclosed door control for proper
operation.
Locate the door control within sight of the door at a minimum
height of 5 feet (1.5 m) where small children cannot reach, and
away from all moving parts of the door and door hardware.
INSTALLATION
The door control is typically attached directly to the wall. For
pre-wired installations (as in new home construction) it can be
mounted to a standard single gang box.
1. Disconnect power to the garage door opener.
2. Strip 1/4" (6 mm) of insulation from one end of the bell wire and
connect to the two screw terminals on the back of the door
control as follows: red/white wire to 1 and white wire to 2.
NOTE: After installation, the indicator light behind the push
button cover will indicate proper connection.
3. Remove the push button cover by gently prying off the side
edge with a screwdriver. Fasten with 6ABx1-1/4" self-tapping
screws (standard installation) or 6-32x1" machine screws
(pre-wired installation) as follows:
• (Standard Installation ONLY) Drill pilot holes and install
bottom screw, allowing 1/8" (3 mm) to protrude above the wall
surface.
• Position bottom of door control on screw head and slide down
to secure. Adjust screw for snug fit.
• Install top screw. Do NOT overtighten, you may damage the
plastic housing.
4. (Standard Installations ONLY) Run bell wire up wall and
across ceiling to motor unit. Use insulated staples to secure wire
to wall and ceiling in several places. Do NOT pierce wire with a
staple, this will create a short or open circuit.
5. Strip 7/16" (11 mm) of insulation from the end of the bell wire.
6. Connect bell wire to terminals as follows:
• Quick Connect Terminals: Red/white wire to red terminal
and white wire to white (Figure 1).
• Screw Terminals: Red/white to 1 and white to 2 (Figure 2).
7. Reconnect power to the garage door opener.
8. Replace the cover by inserting the bottom tabs and snapping it
into place. Test the wall control to ensure proper operation.
Door Control Push Button: Press to open or close the door.
Press again to reverse the door during the closing cycle, or to stop

portable remote controls. However, the door will open and close
from the Door Control push bar and from the Keylock and Keyless
Entry accessories.
To activate: Press and hold the Lock button for 2 seconds. The
push button indicator light will flash as long as the lock is on.
To turn off: Press and hold the Lock button again for 2 seconds.
