INSTALLATION STEP 5
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 prewired 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. To insert or release wires, push in tab
with screwdriver tip (Figure 3).
2. Remove 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 (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 top 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
To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from
electrocution:
• Be sure power is not connected BEFORE installing control
console.
• Connect ONLY to 24 VOLT low voltage wires.
To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from a closing
garage door:
• Install control console 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 control console
push buttons or remote controls.
• 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.
HARDWARE SHOWN ACTUAL SIZE
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 door will travel to the full open
position but will not return to the close position until the
sensor beams are connected and properly aligned. See
Protector System Instructions beginning on page 14.
