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.

INSTALLATION STEP 6

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,
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 2).

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.

2. Remove white 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:

• 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.

• Drill and install top screw with care to avoid cracking

plastic housing.

Do not over tighten.

• Insert top tabs and snap on cover.

(For 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. Position the antenna wire as shown.

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 power and operate 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.
