INSTALLATION STEP 7
Install the Door Control
Locate door control within sight of door at a minimum
height of 5 feet (1.5 m) where small children cannot
reach, and away from moving parts of 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 or amber 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 WHT and
white/red wire to the RED (Figure 3).
2. 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" (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. If your access
door is near the garage door, you may run this wire
with the Safety Reversing Sensor wires along the top
of the rail. See page 17.
4. Insert all wires through the opening on top of motor
unit above the terminal block on the back panel
(Figure 4).
5. Strip 7/16" (11 mm) of insulation from each set of bell
wires. Connect bell wires to the quick-connect terminals
as follows: white to white and white/red to red; white to
white and white/black to grey (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.
6. 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.
