ELECTRICIAN INSTRUCTIONS
1. Use minimum 22 Ga. insulated 2-conductor wire, stranded
or solid. Please tag each low-voltage wire to save garage door
installer headaches tracing your wires!
FRAMER: Build finished opening to even foot measurements. Double stud required next to door opening, beneath
drywall. Single board required above door opening, beneath drywall. Extra door stops, wood jambs or
weather seals not normally needed. Door will normally come 2” (50) wider and ½” (12) higher than opening.
Wall Buttons
2. Use "home run" type wiring for each wall button location.
Locate wall buttons at 60" or higher, so that young children
cannot operate the door.

Normal clearance above the door is 14“(360) (12” for door and 2” for
opener).. NOTE: Deduct from the clearance measurement and the

(beam, light, heating duct, etc.) which is closer to the door opening
than the height of the door plus 4’ (1220) (required for door and
opener).

4. For a 7' high garage door, install a power outlet in the ceiling
for each opener, approximately 11’ back from the garage door
opening. Add an additional foot back from the opening for each
additional foot of door height above 7'. Install an additional box
nearby for low-voltage wires from the wall buttons and the
photo-eye units.
5.
Use caution not to staple through the wires.
6. Leave approximately 24" of wire stubbed out at each wall
button or photo eye location. Leave 48” of wire in ceiling box.

7. Exterior digital push buttons (wireless keyless entry units)
now utilize radio transmitters, so no wiring is needed.
