Install The Door Control - Chamberlain M3100M-1/2HP 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 (Figure 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 (Figure 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 1/4" 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 1
(Figure 3).
2. Lighted door control: Fasten to wall with 6ABx1-1/2"
self-tapping screws.
Multi-function door control: Remove cover by gently
prying on a side corner near the top of the cover with a
small flat head screwdriver (Figure 4). 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" 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 bottom tabs and snap on cover. (To remove
cover after mounting, gently pry at top with paper clip
or small flat head screwdriver.)
NOTE: The push bar may stick if the door control is not
mounted on a smooth surface. If a click is not heard when
pressing the push bar, loosen the two mounting screws or
relocate the door control to a smoother surface.
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. Connect bell wire to the opener terminal screws as
follows: white to 2 and white/red to 1. (Figure 5).
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.
