INSTALLATION STEP 6

Install the Control Console

Locate control console within sight of door, at a minimum
height of 5' (1.5 m) 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 1).

NOTE: 

The functional temperature range of the control

console is between -4° F (-20° C) and 122° F (50° C).
Scroll speed of display is slower at lower temperatures
although the control console remains fully functional.

CAUTION: 

Continuous exposure of the control console to

temperatures below -22° F (-30° C) may damage the LCD
screen.

SPECIAL NOTE:

Only one 398LM can be connected to

each garage door opener. If additional wall controls are
desired to operate the same garage door opener, it is
recommended to use model 378LM wireless wall control
as the secondary control console. 

1. Strip 7/16" (11 mm) of insulation from one end of bell

wire and connect to the two screw terminals on back of
control console by color: white wire to the W (2) and
white/red wire to the R (1) (Figure 2).

2. Remove push bar cover by gently prying at the

lower/middle portion 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:

• Install bottom screw, allowing 1/8" (3 mm) to protrude

above wall surface.

• Position bottom of control console 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 overtighten.

• Replace cover by inserting top tabs first and then snap

cover in place.

3.

(For standard installations 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 on the
motor unit: white to white and white/red to red
(Figure 2).

NOTE:

If you have any trouble with the operation of the

buttons, loosen the top mounting screw. DO NOT connect
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.

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 (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.
