Installation Step 7

Install the Door Control and Connect all Wiring

Locate the door control within sight of the door at a minimum height of 5 feet where small children cannot reach, and away from all moving parts of the door and door hardware.

The multi-function door control is typically attached directly to the wall, see Figure 1. For pre-wired installations (as in new home construction), it may be mounted to a standard single gang box, see Figure 2.

1.Strip 1/4" of insulation from one end of the bell wire. Connect the wire to the two screw terminals on the back of the door control as follows: white wire to 2 and white/red wire to 1. (NOTE: After installation, a green indicator light behind the white translucent cover will indicate proper connection. If not lit, the Lock and Light features will not function (reverse wires to correct).

2.Before mounting, remove the white cover by gently pushing both thumbs against the upper corners of the cover on the back side of the door control.

For standard wall mount, mark the wall about 1-1/4" up the centerline from the bottom of the door control. Install a 6ABx1-1/4" self-tapping screw at this point, allowing about 1/8" to protrude from the wall. Slip the lower part of the door control over the screw head and adjust for snug fit. Drill and install the top screw with care to avoid cracking the plastic housing. Do not overtighten. Run the bell wire up the wall and across the ceiling to the opener. Use insulated staples to secure the wire in several places. Be careful not to pierce the wire with a staple, creating a short. 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.

For pre-wired installations, partially install a 6-32x1" machine screw into the bottom of the gang box, allowing about 1/8" to protrude. Slip the lower part of the door control over the screw head and adjust for snug fit. Install top screw with care to avoid cracking plastic housing. Do not overtighten.

3.Remove the Control Center door on the right panel of the opener to access the terminal screws.

4.Thread all wires through the opening at the base of the drive shaft cover, see Figure 3.

5.Insert the remaining wire through the hole in the power unit and strip 1/4" of insulation from each set of wires.

6.Connect the door control wire to the opener terminal screws: white to 2 and white/red to 1.

7.Separate the sensor white and white/black wires sufficiently to connect to the opener terminal screws: white to 2 and white/black to 3.

8.Attach the User Safety Instruction label to the wall near the door control, and the Maintenance Instruction label in a prominent location on the inside of the garage door.

9.Replace the cover by inserting bottom tabs and snapping into place. To remove the cover after mounting, gently pry at the top with a paper clip or small flat head screwdriver.

Page 32 explains how to operate the opener using the door control.

Do NOT connect the power and operate the opener at this time. See Step 9 on page 22.

WARNING

Do not connect to live electrical wiring. Connect only to 24 Volt low voltage wires. Connection to live wires or higher voltage may cause serious injury from shock, burn or electrocution.

Children operating or playing with a garage door opener can injure themselves or others. The garage door could close and cause serious injury or death. Do not allow children to operate the push button(s) or the remote control(s).

A moving garage door could injure someone under it. Activate the opener only when the door is properly adjusted, you can see it clearly, and there are no obstructions to door travel.
