Garage Door Controller Installation Instructions
Product Description
The Garage Door Controller (GDC) is designed to work with your existing
garage door opener. The GDC will give you remote access to open and
close your garage door when used with Digital Life Service. A garage door
opener connected to the GDC can be remotely activated using the Digital
Life Web interface or via mobile devices that communicate with the system.
The GDC connects to the garage door opener’s pushbutton terminals and
communicates with the Digital Life Control Panel (DLC) using 915 MHz
radio signals. A wireless garage door sensor mounts on the garage door
and reports the door’s position to the GDC. When the GDC receives a
command from the DLC, the GDC will open or close the garage door.
Anytime the garage door opener is activated remotely via the Digital Life
System, a warning indicator fl ashes and a beeper sounds for fi ve seconds
before the door begins to move.
If, due to an obstruction or other cause, the door does not completely
open or close when it is activated remotely, the GDC will pause for 30
seconds. After the delay, a second remote activation can be attempted.
If the door does not complete its motion on the second attempt, the GDC
will lock-out and suspend operation. The GDC will report the lock-out
condition to the DLC.
Once the garage door is operated by a garage door remote or locally by
pushing the opener’s wall station button, the DLC will be reset to allow
remote access.
The GDC is powered by a plug-in power supply. The garage door sensor
is powered by a 2032 lithium battery. If the garage door sensor battery is
low, or the case has been opened, it will be reported to the DLC by the
GDC.
A discovery button and status light are provided on the GDC for adding or
removing the device with the DLC.
Four screws and anchors are provided for mounting the GDC. An
adjustable GDC mounting bracket with hardware is supplied for installing
the unit onto the door opener’s hanging hardware. The wireless garage
door sensor mounts with the two screws supplied.
Discovering and Registering the GDC
1. Place the Digital Life Control Panel into Discovery Mode.
2. Plug the GDC power supply into a 115 VAC outlet.
3. Put the GDC into discovery mode by pressing the Discovery Button.
4. Confi rm that the GDC has been discovered.
Garage Door Sensor Battery
To activate the garage door sensor, remove the battery protection pull
strip.
When the system indicates the garage door sensor battery is low, open
the garage door sensor case as shown and replace the old 2032 battery
with a new one. Install the battery, plus side up.

Garage Door Controller Installation Instructions
Garage Door Sensor Installation
The garage door sensor installs on the top panel of the garage door.
1. Use the garage door sensor mounting plate as a guide to mark the
mounting holes.
2. Drill two 1/16” pilot holes if necessary.
3. Attach the mounting plate with the two screws provided. Be sure the
post on the mounting plate is on the bottom.
4. Snap the garage door sensor onto the mounting plate. Be sure the
arrow on the side of the garage door sensor case is up.
GDC Installation
The GDC typically mounts on the ceiling near the garage door opener and
power outlet. Alternately, the GDC can be mounted to other structures
with the adjustable mounting bracket supplied (shown in Figure 2).
✓NOTE: The GDC’s warning lamp must be visible in all door positions.
Use the four screws and anchors to mount the GDC. -OR- Use the
adjustable mounting bracket to mount the GDC.
GDC Connections
The GDC connects to the opener’s pushbutton terminals.
✓NOTE: Do not disconnect any wires currently connected to the garage
door opener.
1. Connect the GDC wires to the pushbutton terminals on the garage
door opener. Either wire can connect to either terminal.
2. Remove the power outlet wall plate’s center screw (or one end screw
on the decorator style wall plate). Align the power supply retaining
bracket with the wall plate so one of the holes in the bracket aligns
with a screw hole in the wall plate (be sure the clamps of the bracket
are centered over one plug and the other plug is clear). Attach the
bracket and wall plate to the outlet using the fl at head machine screw
provided with the bracket.
3. Plug the power supply into the 115 VAC power outlet by snapping it
into the retaining bracket.
