INSTALLATION STEP 11

Install the Door Control

INTRODUCTION

NOTE: Older Craftsman door controls and third party products are

not compatible. Your garage door opener is compatible with up to

2 Smart Control panels.

Install the door control within sight of the door at a minimum

height of 5 feet (1.5 m) above floors, landings, steps or any other

adjacent walking surface where small children cannot reach, and

away from the moving parts of the door.

NOTE: For gang box installations it is not necessary to drill holes

or install the drywall anchors. Use the existing holes in the gang

box.

WIRE THE DOOR CONTROL (FIGURE 1)

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

separate the wires.

2. Connect one wire to each of the two screws on the back of the

door control. The wires can be connected to either screw.

Pre-wired installations: Choose any two wires to connect,

but make note of which wires are used so that the correct

wires are connected to the garage door opener in a later step.

MOUNT THE DOOR CONTROL (FIGURE 2)

1. Mark the location of the bottom mounting hole and drill a

5/32" hole.

2. Install the bottom screw, allowing 1/8" (3mm) to protrude

from the wall.

3. Position the bottom hole of the door control over the screw

and slide down into place.

4. Lift the push bar and mark the top hole.

5. Remove the door control from the wall and drill a 5/32" hole

for the top screw.

6. Position the bottom hole of the door control over the screw

and slide down into place. Attach the top screw.

WIRE THE DOOR CONTROL TO THE GARAGE DOOR OPENER

(FIGURE 3)

Pre-wired installations: When wiring the door control to the

garage door opener make sure you use the same wires that are

connected to the door control.

1. Run the white and red/white wire from the door control to the

garage door opener. Attach the wire to the wall and ceiling

with the staples (not applicable for gang box or pre-wired

installations). Do not pierce the wire with the staple as this

may cause a short or an open circuit.

2. Strip 7/16" (11 mm) of insulation from the other end of the

wire near the garage door opener.

3. Connect the wire to the red and white terminals on the garage

door opener.

To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from

electrocution:

l Be sure power is NOT connected BEFORE installing door

control.

l Connect door control ONLY to 12 VOLT low voltage wires.

To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from a closing

garage door:

l Install door control within sight of garage door, out of reach

of small children at a minimum height of 5feet (1.5m) above

floors, landings, steps or any other adjacent walking surface,

and away from ALL moving parts of door.

l NEVER permit children to operate or play with door control

push buttons or remote control transmitters.

l Activate door ONLY when it can be seen clearly, is properly

adjusted, and there are no obstructions to door travel.

l ALWAYS keep garage door in sight until completely closed.

NEVER permit anyone to cross path of closing garage door.
