INSTALLATION STEP 7
Install the Door Control
and Connect all Wiring
Locate door control within sight of door, at a minimum
height of 5 feet where small children cannot reach, away
from moving parts of door and door hardware. 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 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 1/4" of insulation from one end of bell wire and
connect to the two screw terminals on back of door
control by color: white to 2 and white/red to 1
(Figure. 3).
2. Remove white cover by gently pushing both thumbs
against upper corners of cover on back side of door
control. Fasten with 6ABx1-1/4"self-tapping screws
(standard installation) or 6-32x1" machine screws (into
gang box) as follows:
• Install bottom screw, allowing 1/8" 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 overtighten.
• Insert bottom tabs and snap on cover.
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 18.
4. Insert all wires through the opening on top of motor unit
above the terminal block on the back panel (Figure 4).
5. Cut excess and
strip 7/16"
of insulation from each end.
Insert door control wire into quick-connect terminals by
color: white wire to white, white/red wire to red.
Separate white and white/black wires sufficiently to
connect to the opener quick-connect terminals. Twist like
colored wires together. Insert wires into quick-connect
holes: white to white and white/black to black (Figure 4).
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.
DO NOT connect power and operate opener at this
time. See Step 9 on page 22.
