INSTALLATION STEP 6
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, 
away from moving parts of door and door hardware. 
If installing into drywall, drill 5/32" holes and use the 
anchors provided. For pre-wired installations (as in new 
home construction), it may be mounted to a single gang 
box (Figure 2).
1. Strip 7/16" (11 mm) of insulation from one end of bell
wire and connect to the two screw terminals on back of 
the door control by color: white wire to 2 and white/red 
wire to the 1.
2. Remove cover by gently prying at slot in top of the
cover with a small fl at head screwdriver. Fasten with 
6ABx1-1/4" self-tapping screws (drywall installation) or 
6-32x1" machine screws (into gang box) as follows:
• Install bottom screw, allowing 1/8" (3 mm) to
protrude above wall surface.
• Position bottom of the door control on screw head
and slide down to secure. Adjust screw for snug fi t.
• Drill and install top screw with care to avoid
cracking plastic housing. DO NOT overtighten.
• Insert top tabs and snap on cover.
3.
(For 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" (11 mm) 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. Position the antenna wire as shown.
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 power and operate 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.
To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from 
electrocution:
• Disconnect ALL electric and battery power BEFORE 
performing ANY service or maintenance.
• Connect ONLY to 24 VOLT low voltage wires. 
To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from 
a closing garage door:
• Install the 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 the
door control 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.
