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. 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 top 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.

(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.

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.
