INSTALLATION STEP 11
INSTALL THE DOOR CONTROL
INTRODUCTION
NOTE: Older door controls and third party products are not
compatible.
Install the door control within sight of the door at a minimum height of
5 feet (1.5 m) above floors, landings, steps or any other adjacent
walking surface where small children cannot reach, and away from
the moving parts of the door.
NOTE: For gang box installations it is not necessary to drill holes or
install the drywall anchors. Use the existing holes in the gang box.
WIRE THE DOOR CONTROL (FIGURE 1) - MODELS
CMXEOCG572, CMXEOCG772, and CMXEOCG982
1. Strip 7/16" (11 mm) of insulation from one end of the wire and
separate the wires.
2. Connect one wire to each of the two screws on the back of the
door control. The wires can be connected to either screw.
Pre-wired installations: Choose any two wires to connect, but
make note of which wires are used so that the correct wires
are connected to the garage door opener in a later step.
MOUNT THE DOOR CONTROL (FIGURE 2) - MODELS
CMXEOCG572, CMXEOCG772, and CMXEOCG982

hole.
2. Install the bottom screw, allowing 1/8" (3 mm) to protrude from
the wall.
3. Position the bottom hole of the door control over the screw
and slide down into place.
4. Lift the push bar and mark the top hole.
5. Remove the door control from the wall and drill a 5/32" hole
for the top screw.

WIRE THE DOOR CONTROL TO THE GARAGE DOOR OPENER
(FIGURE 3)
Pre-wired installations: When wiring the door control to the garage
door opener make sure you use the same wires that are connected to
the door control.
1. Run the white and red/white wire from the door control to the
garage door opener. Attach the wire to the wall and ceiling
with the staples (not applicable for gang box or pre-wired
installations). Do not pierce the wire with the staple as this
may cause a short or an open circuit.
2. Strip 7/16" (11 mm) of insulation from the other end of the wire
near the garage door opener.
3. Connect the wire to the red and white terminals on the garage
door opener.
To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from
electrocution:
• Be sure power is NOT connected BEFORE installing door
control.
• Connect door control ONLY to 12 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
small children at a minimum height of 5 feet (1.5 m) above
floors, landings, steps or any other adjacent walking surface,
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.
