INSTALLATION STEP 5
Install the Control Console
Locate control console 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 pre-wired
installations (as in new home construction), it may be
mounted to a single gang box (Figure 2). NOTE: After
installation and the power head is plugged in, 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 terminals on back of control
console by color: white wire to WHT and white/red wire
to the RED (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 control console 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 over tighten.
• Insert top tabs and snap on cover.
NOTE: The push bar may stick if the control console 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 control console to a smoother
surface.
3. (Standard installation only) Run bell wire up wall and
along 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 (Figure 4).
5. Use tacks or staples to permanently attach entrapment
warning label to wall near control console, 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.
