INSTALLATION STEP 11
Install the Door Control
INTRODUCTION
NOTE: Older Craftsman accessories and third party products are
not compatible.
Your garage door opener is compatible with up to 2 AssureLink
door controls.
Install the 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 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 inch (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 inch (4 mm) hole.
2. Install the bottom screw, allowing 1/8 inch (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 inch
(4 mm) 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 inch (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:
• Be sure power is NOT connected BEFORE installing door
control.
TM
• Connect ONLY to 12 VOLT low voltage wires.
To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from a
closing garage door:
• Install 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 door control
push buttons or remote control transmitters.
• Activate door ONLY when it can be seen clearly, is properly
adjusted, and there are no obstructions to door travel.
