Garage Door Controller
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.
Installation Instructions
WARNING
This operator system is equipped with an unattended operation feature. This door could move unexpectedly.
NO ONE SHOULD CROSS THE PATH OF A MOVING DOOR!
WARNING
This system can be installed on sectional type (roll up) doors only (per UL-325).
WARNING
The GDC must be mounted in the garage, in sight of the garage door, where the visual and audible movement warning indicators can be clearly seen and heard.
WARNING
GDC is to be installed only on garage door openers manufactured after 1992 (models with an operational safety beam entrapment protection system, per UL-325).
Figure 1. Garage Door Controller and Garage Door Sensor
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.

Installation Instructions
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.
