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 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.

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 16.

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.
