Garage Door Controller
Installation Instructions
Product Description
The Garage Door Controller (GDC) is designed to work with your existing
garage door opener. The GDC will give you remote access to open and
close your garage door when used with Digital Life Service. A garage door
opener connected to the GDC can be remotely activated using the Digital
Life Web interface or via mobile devices that communicate with the system.
The GDC connects to the garage door opener’s pushbutton terminals and
communicates with the Digital Life Control Panel (DLC) using 915 MHz
radio signals. A wireless garage door sensor mounts on the garage door
and reports the door’s position to the GDC. When the GDC receives a
command from the DLC, the GDC will open or close the garage door.
Anytime the garage door opener is activated remotely via the Digital Life
System, a warning indicator fl ashes and a beeper sounds for fi ve seconds
before the door begins to move.
If, due to an obstruction or other cause, the door does not completely
open or close when it is activated remotely, the GDC will pause for 30
seconds. After the delay, a second remote activation can be attempted.
If the door does not complete its motion on the second attempt, the GDC
will lock-out and suspend operation. The GDC will report the lock-out
condition to the DLC.
Once the garage door is operated by a garage door remote or locally by
pushing the opener’s wall station button, the DLC will be reset to allow
remote access.
The GDC is powered by a plug-in power supply. The garage door sensor
is powered by a 2032 lithium battery. If the garage door sensor battery is
low, or the case has been opened, it will be reported to the DLC by the
GDC.
A discovery button and status light are provided on the GDC for adding or
removing the device with the DLC.
Four screws and anchors are provided for mounting the GDC. An
adjustable GDC mounting bracket with hardware is supplied for installing
the unit onto the door opener’s hanging hardware. The wireless garage
door sensor mounts with the two screws supplied.
