Install The Door Control - Chamberlain 3000E 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 (1.5 m) 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 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 (Figure 3).
2. Remove white cover by gently prying at slot in
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" (3 mm) 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.
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. Strip 7/16" (11 mm) 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. (Figure 5).
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.
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.
