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 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 overtighten.
Insert top tabs and snap on cover.
3. (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.
