INSTALLATION STEP 7
Install the Door Control
Locate door control within sight of door, at a minimum
height of 5 feet 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" 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 white cover by gently prying at slot in top
of the cover with a small flat head screwdriver.
Fasten with 6AB x 1-1/4" self-tapping screws
(drywall installation) or 6-32 x 1" 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.
• Drill and install top screw with care to avoid
cracking plastic housing. Do not over tighten.
• 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 18.
4. Insert all wires through the opening on top of motor
unit above the terminal block on the back panel
(Figure 3).
5. Strip 7116" 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 sufficiently 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 black.
To prevent possible SERIOUSINJURYor DEATHfrom
electrocution:
• Be sure power is not connected BEFORE installing door
control.
• Connect ONLYto 24 VOLTlow voltage wires.
To prevent possible SERIOUSINJURYor DEATHfrom 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.
• NEVERpermit children to operate or play with door
control push buttons or remote control transmitters.
• Activate door ONLYwhen it can be seen clearly,is properly
adjusted,and there are no obstructions to door travel.
• ALWAYSkeep garage door in sight until completely
closed. NEVERpermit anyone to cross path of closing
garage door.
