Diagram C

2b.The Model 69 contains 2 brand jumpers and 12 code

connectors (see diagram C). The brand jumpers are
located just above the battery with markings “A” and
“B”. There are 2 connectors , o ne i s p la c ed on t he “A ”
column, the other one is placed on the “B” column.
For each column, there is a connector. If the connector
is placed on the top and middle post of that column,
that column is set on “+”. If the connector is placed
on the middle and bottom posts, that column is set on
“-“. If the connector is removed completely, that column
is set on “0” (see diagram C). In order for the Model
69 to work with your existing garage door opener
(motor), you need to set the brand jumpers based on
the brand of your existing garage door opener. Please
set these 2 brand jumpers “A” and “B” based on the
brand jumpers setting on chart 2 . Please identify the
group number on chart 2 in order to determine which
is the next step to proceed.

For garage door openers
belonging to groups 1
to 3, please follow step 3

of the procedures, this will
complete the setup. No
need to proceed to step 4.

For garage door openers
belonging to groups 4
to 8, you can proceed

directly to “Step 4 – Set
Code Connector” after
you have successfully set
the brand jumpers. Please
skip step 3 below.

3a. If your existing garage door opener belongs to any brand from group 1,

2 or 3, then you should find a “learn” button from the garage door opener
(the unit with the motor located on the ceiling of your garage, see dia­gram D). Press this learn button for approximately 2 seconds. The
LED light beside the learn button will go on and then press the button

STEP 4 - SET CODE CONNECTORS

Note:
Proceed to this step only if the brand of your garage door opener belongs to
either group 4, 5, 6, 7 or 8 on chart 2. Otherwise, proceed to Step 3 - Learn code.

4a. If the brand of your garage door opener belongs to groups 4 t o 8,

you need to program the correct code setting in order for the Model 69 to
work with your existing garage door opener. There are 12 code connectors on
12 columns from 1 to 12 (see diagram E). Each column has one connector.
(see diagram F)

4b. Set the connectors numbered 1 through 12 to match the code setting of your

existing transmitter or receiver. There are 2 places you can find out the code
setting from a column of small switches of your existing garage door opener.

1) your existing transmitter (the unit you currently use to open your garage).

2) the receiver of your garage door
opener (the unit with the motor
mounted on the ceiling of your
garage).

4c. If the connector is placed on the top and middle posts, that

column is set on “ + ” or “ON” or “CLOSE”. If the connector
is placed on the middle and bottom posts, that column is
set on “ - ” or “OFF” or “ O P E N”. If the connector is removed
completely, (not placed on any posts), it is set to “ 0 ” or the
neutral position. (see
diagram G for examples
of how to set a column

‘-’ or ‘OFF’ or ‘OPEN’

‘+’ or ‘ON’ or CLOSE ‘0’ = BLANK

to the three different
positions). When re­moving a connector to
set a column to the
neutral position, save
the connector in case
you change the code
at a later date.

4d. T o move the connectors,

slide an opened paper clip
into the side of a connector
and lift. (see diagram H)
When repositioning con­nectors, place a connec­tor on the two chosen posts,
then push down on the
connector with your finger.

STEP 4 - SET CODE CONNECTORS

Set the connectors numbered 1 through 12 to match the
switches of your existing transmitter or receiver. If your
garage door opener is manu f a c t ur e d b y (Stanley®, Genie® ,
Multi-Code® , Linear® , Moore-O-Matic® ) these switches
may only have two positions, ( “ + , ON, CLOSED” and “ - ,
OFF , OPEN”). (see diagram I) Set the connectors on the
model 69 to “ + ” if your existing switches are either “ +,
ON, CLOSE ” and set to “ - ” if your existing switches are
either “ -, OFF, OPEN”. Do not use the blank position “0”.

Examples of how to set Model 69

Existing
Transmitter

Diagram I

Model 69

If your existing transmitter has fewer than 12
switches, match only the first corresponding con­nectors. Leave the remaining posts blank (remove
the connectors). Press the button on the transmitter.
If the garage door does not open, reverse all of the
connectors on the model 69. The “ + ” will be
changed to the “ - ” position and the “ - ” position
will be changed to the “ + ” position. (see diagram J)

Reversed Position

Diagram J

If your garage door opener is manufactured by (Chamberlain

®

,Sears® , Lift-Master®,
Wayne Dalton®, Pulsar® or Master Mechanic®) the switches will have 3 positions,
(“ + , 0, - ”). Set the connectors on the model 69 to match their corresponding posi­tions. If your opener is a Sears®, Chamberlain® or Lift-Master® and the existing
transmitter has three buttons, (see diagram K), the first connector in the model #69
may need to be changed to another position.
If your Chamberlain® ,Sears® , Lift-Master® has 9 DIP switches, match them to the
first 9 connectors on the model 69 and remove the last 3 connectors (connectors
10, 11, 12). If there are only 8 DIP switches on your Chamberlain® ,Sears® , Lift­Master®, match them to the 2-9 position on the model 69 and remove the last 3
connectors (connectors 10, 1 1, 12). Now you may have to change the positioning
of the #1 connector on the model 69. If the large
button of Diagram K is used to open the garage
door, set the #1 connector to “ - ” position. If the
middle button is used, set the #1 connector to the
“ 0 ” or “blank” position. If the smaller button on the
left is used, set the #1 connector to the “ + ” po sition .
