INSTALLATION STEP 6

Install theDoorControl

Locate door control within sight of door, at a minimum height of

5 feet (1.5 m) where small children cannot reach, awayfrom

moving parts of door and door hardware. If installing into drywall,

drill 5/32" holes andusethe anchors provided. Forpre-wired

installations (as in new home construction), it may be mounted to

a single gang box (Figure2).

1. Strip 7/16" (11 mm) of insulation from one end of bell wire and

connect to the two screwterminals on back of door control by

color: white wire to 2 and white/red wire to the 1.

2. Removecover by gently prying at slot in top of the cover

with a small flat headscrewdriver. Fastenwith 6ABx1-1/4"

self-tapping screws (drywall installation) or 6-32x1" machine

screws (into gangbox) as follows:

• Install bottom screw, allowing 1/8" (3 mm) to protrude above

wall surface.

• Position bottom of door control on screw headand slide

down to secure.Adjust screw for snug fit.

• Drill and install top screw with care to avoid cracking plastic

housing. Do not overtighten.

• Insert top tabs and snap on cover.

across ceiling to motor unit. Use insulated staplesto secure

wire in several places. Donot piercewire with a staple,

creating a short or open circuit.

4. Strip 7/16" (11 mm) of insulation from end of bell wire.

Connectbell wire to the quick-connect terminals asfollows:

white to white and white/red to red.

NOTE:Whenconnecting 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.

5. Position the antennawire as shown.

6. Usetacks or staplesto permanently attachentrapment warning

label to wall near door control, andmanual release/safety

reversetest label in a prominent location on inside of garage

door.

a grounding type plug with a third grounding pin. This plug will

only fit into a grounding type outlet. Ifthe plug doesn't fit into the

outlet you have, contact a qualified electricianto install the proper

outlet.

RIGH_

To prevent possible SERIOUSINJURYor DEATHfrom

electrocution or fire:

• Besure power is not connectedto the opener,and

disconnect powerto circuit BEFOREremoving cover to

establish permanentwiring connection.

• Garagedoor installation and wiring MUSTbe in compliance

with ALL local electrical and building codes.

• NEVERusean extension cord, 2-wire adapteror changeplug

in ANYway to makeit fit outlet. Besure the opener is

grounded.

PERMANENT WIRING

CONNECTION

IMPORTANTINFORMATIONABOUTTHESAFETYREVERSING

SENSOR

When properly connectedand aligned, the sensor will detect an

obstacle in the pathof its electronic beam. Thesending eye

(with an amber indicator light) transmits an invisible light beam

to the receiving eye(with a green indicator light). If an

obstruction breaksthe light beamwhile the door is closing, the

door will stop and reverseto full open position, and the opener

lights will flash 10 times.

Theunits must be installed inside the garageso that the sending

and receivingeyes face eachother across the door, no morethan

6" (15 cm) abovethefloor. Either can be installed on the left or

right of the door as long as the sun nevershines directly into the

receiving eye lens.

Themounting brackets are designedto clip onto thetrack of

sectional garagedoors without additional hardware.

Be sure power is not connectedto the garagedoor opener

BEFOREinstalling the safety reversing sensor.

To prevent SERIOUSINJURYor DEATHfrom a closing garage

door:

• Correctly connect and align the safety reversingsensor. This

required safety deviceMUST NOTbe disabled.

• Install the safety reversing sensor so beamis NOHIGHER

than 6"(15 cm) above garagefloor.

If it is necessaryto mount the units on the wall, the brackets

must be securelyfastenedto a solid surface such asthe wall

framing. Extensionbrackets (seeaccessories) areavailableif

needed.If installing in masonry construction, add a pieceof wood

at eachlocation to avoid drilling extra holesin masonry if

repositioning is necessary.

Theinvisible light beam path must be unobstructed. No part of

the garagedoor (or door tracks, springs, hinges, rollers or other

hardware) may interrupt the beamwhile the door is closing.
