INSTALLATION STEP 6

Install the Door Control

Locate door control within sight of the door at a
minimum height of 5 feet where small children
cannot reach, and away from moving parts of the
door and door hardware. If installing into drywall
(Fig. 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 (Fig. 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 7/16" 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.(Fig.3)
2.Remove white 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
(standard installation) or 6-32x1" machine screws
(into gang box) as follows:
• Drill and 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.
• Install top screw with care to avoid
cracking plastic housing. Do not overtighten.
• Insert top tabs and snap on cover. (To remove
cover after mounting, gently pry at top with
paper clip or small flat head screwdriver.)
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.
4.Strip 7/16" 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..
5.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
