Step 3: (Illustration 3). Thread the bell wire through

completed hole from inside the garage. Fasten wire to the Key Switch terminal screws before attaching mounting plate to jamb. In most cases, 4 screw nails will hold the plate firmly in place. Drive a nail into jamb and wind some wire around it before running wire to the opener terminals.

NOTE: Instructions for attaching bell wire to opener terminals are on Page 2.

CAUTION: Bell wire should be pulled taut to prevent access to wiring from outside the garage.

Step 2: (Illustration 2). If your garage has a built-up jamb,

drill the hole to a depth of 2" (5 cm). Then on the inside jamb, drill a second hole into the first hole to complete access.

Step 1: Disconnect power to operator. (Illustration 1) Position key Switch in the upper half of garage door jamb. Mark the location on horizontal center of jamb or to a depth of 2" (5 cm) (see Step 2).

Step 4: If screw nails won’t hold the plate firmly in place, use anchor and nut supplied with hardware. (See illustration on page 2). If anchor and nut are used, remove the Key Switch terminal screws.

Insert key Switch in drilled hole. Install anchor and nut. Return screws to switch terminals. Fasten bell wire to terminals. Drive a nail into jamb and wind some wire around it before connecting to terminals on back of opener.

NOTE: Instructions for attaching the bell wire to opener are on page 2 (illustration 5).
