Code connector Location 2b. The Model 69 contains 2 brand jumpers and 12 code connectors (see diagram C). The brand jumpers are located just above the battery with markings “A” and
“B”. There are 2 connectors, one is placed on the “A” column, the other one is placed on the “B” column.
For each column, there is a connector. If the connector is placed on the top and middle post of that column, that column is set on “+”. If the connector is placed on the middle and bottom posts, that column is set on
“-“. If the connector is removed completely, that column is set on “0” (see diagram C). In order for the Model
69 to work with your existing garage door opener
(motor), you need to set the brand jumpers based on the brand of your existing garage door opener. Please set these 2 brand jumpers “A” and “B” based on the brand jumpers setting on chart 2. Please identify the group number on chart 2 in order to determine which is the next step to proceed.
For garage door openers belonging to groups 1
to 3, please follow step 3 of the procedures, this will complete the setup. No need to proceed to step 4.
For garage door openers belonging to groups 4
to 8, you can proceed directly to “Step 4 – Set
Code Connector” after you have successfully set the brand jumpers. Please skip step 3 below.

Note:
Proceed to this step only if the brand of your garage door opener belongs
to either group 1, 2 or 3 on chart 2. Otherwise, proceed to Step 4 - Set
code connector.
3a. If your existing garage door opener belongs to any brand from group 1,
2 or 3, then you should find a “learn” button from the garage door opener
(the unit with the motor located on the ceiling of your garage, see diagram D). Press this learn button for approximately 2 seconds. The
LED light beside the learn button will go on and then press the button on the Model 69 to activate it. The LED light on the garage door opener will flash then go off.
The Model 69 is now programmed to your existing garage door opener and will operate your garage door.
Programming is now completed and please refer to the “Battery” section of this manual for battery maintenance.

- SET CODE CONNECTORS
Note:
Proceed to this step only if the brand of your garage door opener belongs to
either group 4, 5, 6, 7 or 8 on chart 2. Otherwise, proceed to Step 3 - Learn code.
4a. If the brand of your garage door opener belongs to groups 4 to 8, that means you need to program the correct code setting in order for the Model 69 to work with your existing garage door opener. There are 12 code connectors on
12 columns from 1 to 12 (see diagram E). Each column has one connector.
(see diagram F)
4b. Set the connectors numbered 1 through 12 to match the code setting of your existing transmitter or receiver. There are 2 places you can find out the code setting from a column of small switches of your existing garage door opener.
1) your existing transmitter (the unit you currently use to open your garage).
2) the receiver of your garage door opener (the unit with the motor mounted on the ceiling of your garage).
Diagram E Diagram F
4c. If the connector is placed on the top and middle posts, that column is set on “ + ” or “ON” or “CLOSE”. If the connector is placed on the middle and bottom posts, that column is set on “ - ” or “OFF” or “OPEN”. If the connector is removed completely, (not placed on any posts), it is set to “ 0 ” or the neutral position. (see
‘-’ or ‘OFF’ or ‘OPEN’ diagram G for examples of how to set a column
‘+’ or ‘ON’ or CLOSE ‘0’ = BLANK to the three different positions). When removing a connector to set a column to the neutral position, save the connector in case you change the code at a later date.

4d. To move the connectors, slide an opened paper clip into the side of a connector and lift. (see diagram H)
When repositioning connectors, place a connector on the two chosen posts, then push down on the connector with your finger.

STEP

- SET CODE CONNECTORS
Set the connectors numbered 1 through 12 to match the switches of your existing transmitter or receiver. If your garage door opener is manufactured by (Stanley ® , Genie ®
,
Multi-Code ®
, Linear
®
, Moore-O-Matic
® ) these switches may only have two positions, ( “ + , ON, CLOSED” and “ - ,
OFF, OPEN”). (see diagram I) Set the connectors on the model 69 to “ + ” if your existing switches are either “ +,
ON, CLOSE ” and set to “ - ” if your existing switches are either “ -, OFF, OPEN”. Do not use the blank position “0”.
If your existing transmitter has fewer than 12 switches, match only the first corresponding connectors. Leave the remaining posts blank (remove the connectors). Press the button on the transmitter.
If the garage door does not open, reverse all of the connectors on the model 69. The “ + ” will be changed to the “ - ” position and the “ - ” position will be changed to the “ + ” position. (see diagram J)

Existing

Reversed Position
If your garage door opener is manufactured by (Chamberlain ® ,Sears ®
, Lift-Master
® ,
Wayne Dalton ® , Pulsar ® or Master Mechanic ® ) the switches will have 3 positions,
(“ + , 0, - ”). Set the connectors on the model 69 to match their corresponding positions. If your opener is a Sears ® , Chamberlain ® or Lift-Master ® and the existing transmitter has three buttons, (see diagram K), the first connector in the model #69 may need to be changed to another position.
If your Chamberlain ® ,Sears ®
, Lift-Master
®
has 9 DIP switches, match them to the first 9 connectors on the model 69 and remove the last 3 connectors (connectors
10, 11, 12). If there are only 8 DIP switches on your Chamberlain ® ,Sears ®
, Lift-
Master ® , match them to the 2-9 position on the model 69 and remove the last 3 connectors (connectors 10, 11, 12). Now you may have to change the positioning of the #1 connector on the model 69. If the large button of Diagram K is used to open the garage door, set the #1 connector to “ - ” position. If the middle button is used, set the #1 connector to the
“ 0 ” or “blank” position. If the smaller button on the left is used, set the #1 connector to the “ + ” position.
