INSTALLATION STEP 7

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,
and away from moving parts of 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 or amber
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 WHT and white/red
wire to the RED (Figure 3).

2. Remove cover by gently prying on a side corner near

the top of the cover with a small flat head screwdriver
(Figure 4). Fasten with 6ABx1-1/4" self-tapping 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 17.

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 bell

wires. Connect bell wires to the quick-connect terminals
as follows: white to white and white/red to red; white to
white and white/black to grey.

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.
