Aladdin Connect® Smartphone Enabled Garage Door Controller (Single Door Kit)

• You will need a ladder, a #2 Phillips head screwdriver, a 3/32 drill bit, and drill.
• A light will flash, and a beep will sound as indication that the door is about to move when commanded by the Aladdin Connect or compatible app(s).
• These instructions will show the physical installation of the retrofit kit pieces only. All other instructions are defined in the app.

MOUNT & POWER DOOR CONTROL HUB

1. Locate the Door Control Hub with its mounting bracket and hardware. Select an installation location that meets the following listed criteria:

• Can be seen and heard from anywhere inside the garage.
• Should be less than 30ft from the garage door opener.
  Should be within 5ft of standard 110v AC power outlet.
• Should have at least two bars of Wi-Fi signal when a smartphone is placed in the proposed position. If there are not at least two bars in the desired location, try these steps to improve Wi-Fi signal strength:
  • Make sure that the Wi-Fi router is out in the open (not concealed).
  • Move the Wi-Fi router closer to the garage.
  • Purchase a Wi-Fi extender, available at most electronics stores.

Locations could be above the opener secured to drywall, fastened to the perforated angle that holds the opener, near the wall console or any other location that meets the above criteria.

2. Install the Door Control Hub:

• If mounting to drywall, use the mounting bracket as a template to mark and drill 2-3/32” pilot holes. Use provided anchors as needed (FIG A).
• If mounting to perforated angle at opener location, use nuts, washers and screws provided (FIG B).

3. Slide the Door Control Hub onto its mounting bracket so it snaps into place (FIG C).

4. Plug in the USB-C to the Hub and power cord to the outlet. The Wi-Fi LED on the Hub should light up when powered on (FIG C).

5. Affix the unattended warning placard next to wall control in plain sight to signify that the door can operate remotely. Tacks or staples (not supplied) should be used if the placard does not adhere to the mounting surface (FIG C).
