Irestall 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 1).
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 (Figure 2).
2. Remove white cover by gently prying at slot in top of
the cover with a small flat head screwdriver (Figure 3).
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 (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.
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.
