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 the 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 all moving parts of the door 
and door hardware.

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

bell wire. Connect it to the two screw terminals on the 
back of the door control by color: white wire to 2 and 
white/red wire to 1.

2.   Fasten the Lighted Door Control Button securely 

with 6ABx1" screws. If installing into drywall, 
drill 5/32" (4 mm) holes and use the anchors provided.

3.   Run the bell wire up the wall and across the ceiling to 

the opener. Use insulated staples to secure the wire in 
several places. Be careful not to pierce the wire with a 
staple, creating a short or open circuit.

4.   Receiver terminals and the antenna are located on the 

back panel of the motor unit. Position the antenna wire 
as shown.

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.   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.

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. See Safety 
Reversing Sensor Instructions beginning on page 20.
