INSTALLATION STEP 7

Install the Door Control

Locate door control within sight of the door at a minimum height of 5 feet (1.5 m) where small children cannot reach, and away from moving parts of the door and door hardware. The installation surface must be smooth and flat. 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 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 3).

2.Lighted door control: Fasten to wall with 6ABx1-1/2"self-threading screws.

Multi-function: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-threading screws (drywall installation) or 6-32x1" machine screws (into gang box) as follows:

•Drill and 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.

•Install top screw with care to avoid cracking plastic housing. DO NOT overtighten.

•Insert bottom tabs and snap on cover.

NOTE: The push bar may stick if the door control is not mounted on a smooth surface. If a click is not heard when pressing the push bar, loosen the two mounting screws or relocate the door control to a smoother surface.

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 13.

4.Insert all wires through the opening on top of motor unit above the terminal block on the back panel (Figure 4).

5.Strip 7/16" (11 mm) of insulation from each set of wires. 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 grey (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.

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 Step 11 on page 18.

To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from electrocution:

•Be sure power is NOT connected BEFORE installing door control.

•Connect ONLY to 24 VOLT low voltage wires.

To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from a closing garage door:

•Install door control within sight of garage door, out of reach of children at a minimum height of 5 feet

(1.5 m), and away from ALL moving parts of door.

•NEVER permit children to operate or play with door control push buttons or remote control transmitters.

•Activate door ONLY when it can be seen clearly, is properly adjusted and there are no obstructions to door travel.

•ALWAYS keep garage door in sight until completely closed. NEVER permit anyone to cross path of closing garage door.
