How to Guide

INSTALLATION STEP 11
INSTALL THE DOOR CONTROL
INTRODUCTION
NOTE: Older door controls and third party products are not compatible.
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) - MODELS CMXEOCG572, CMXEOCG772, and
CMXEOCG982
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) - MODELS CMXEOCG572, CMXEOCG772, and
CMXEOCG982
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.
PUSH BUTTON DOOR CONTROL - MODEL CMXEOCG322
1. Strip 1/4" (6 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.
3. Mount the door control with the hardware provided.

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:
• Be sure power is NOT connected BEFORE installing door control.
• Connect door control 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 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.
• 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.
• ALWAYS keep garage door in sight until completely closed. NEVER permit
anyone to cross path of closing garage door.
