INSTALLING REPLACEMENT SERIES II WALL CONSOLE

• Disconnect power to the powerhead.

• Remove existing wall console from the wall by removing mounting screws.• Remove wires from existing wall console.

• Split and strip ends of the wire if it is needed (Fig. 2).

• Fasten the wire to control board screws on the back of the wall console (Fig. 3):

 

 

 

• Connect white wire between powerhead terminal #3 to wall console terminal “W.” (Fig 3 & 7).

• Connect striped wire between powerhead terminal #4 to wall console terminal “B.” (Fig 3 & 7).

NOTE: When existing wires have a color code different from above (FIG. 3), or none at all—make sure the wires are connected between terminals as directed above. When the wires are connected to the opposite terminals, the Sure-Lock® and Light feature may not function. The first indication of incorrect wiring is the backlight will be OFF.

• Mount wall console to wall using screws provided. Verify height at least 5 ft. above the floor (Fig. 4).

Reconnect power to the powerhead.

• Check operation of each wall console button and feature (If the circuit board was replaced, and then the wall console, reset the limits on the garage door opener before checking the wall console features.)
