HARDWARE INSTALLATION:

THE INSTALLATION OF THE SWITCHES:

The two Switch Sensors need to be installed on the right-hand garage door tracks.
One at the bottom of the track to sense the closed position and one on the horizontal portion
of the track to sense the open position.

1. Open your garage door.

NOTE: Make sure you remove power to your garage door opener to prevent
accidental operation during installation.

2. Carefully unwrap the Switch/Cable bundle.

3. Attach the Switch Sensor marked “CLOSED” in the following illustration on the lowest part of the
right-hand track. When the garage door is closed the lower guide wheel in the garage door
should press firmly on the actuator.

4. Using the stick-on cable tidy clips supplied, route the cable carefully on the back of the track
ensuring that the garage door operation does not interfere with the cable at any time.
(Please clean the area that you attach the cable tidy clips to ensure good adhesion of the clips)
Route the cable to a position close to your garage door motor.

5. Next, mount the switch marked “OPEN” as shown and route the cable carefully to the same position.
It is advised that you bundle the excess cable in a neat fashion and ensure that the cables
do not interfere or touch the garage door itself at any time.

THE INSTALLATION OF THE CONTROL UNIT:

1. Position the Universal Garage Door Control unit close to your garage door motor
(a space on the ceiling will be best).

2. Using the screws in the wall mounting kit. Affix the screws leaving 1/16” space between
the screw head and the object. Mount the Universal Garage Door Control unit onto the screws
and slide down to lock into place.

3. Attach the multi-connector tether from the unit to the cable harness plug.

4. Connect the two wires marked ‘DOOR SWITCH’ to the same terminals
that are connected to your door push button. These are usually found
on the rear side of the motor housing. Certain models may require
you to remove the cover to access the push button terminals.
You can attach either wire to either terminal.

5 Tidy all cabling and then attach the supplied Power Adapter to a
wall plug (in most cases there is a power outlet provided for the
garage door operator unit). Plug the AC jack in the white adapter
socket attached to the main cable harness.

6. You may now reconnect your garage door operator and proceed to Device Discovery.
