Setup and Installation

This wire can be used to replace damaged wiring or for new installations of garage door safety sensors or wall control buttons. The two conductors of the wire can be easily split apart at the ends to expose individual wires for connection to positive and negative terminals.

1. Preparation: Ensure the power to the garage door opener is disconnected before beginning any wiring work.
2. Measure and Cut: Measure the required length of wire from the garage door opener to the sensor or wall button location. Cut the wire to the appropriate length.
3. Separate Conductors: Carefully separate approximately 1/2 inch to 1 inch of the wire ends to expose individual conductors.
4. Strip Insulation: Gently strip a small amount of insulation (approximately 1/4 inch) from the end of each individual conductor to expose the copper wire.
5. Connect to Device: Connect one stripped wire to the positive terminal and the other to the negative terminal of the garage door sensor or wall button. Ensure a secure connection.
6. Connect to Opener: Route the wire back to the garage door opener and connect the corresponding wires to the appropriate terminals on the opener. Refer to your garage door opener's manual for specific terminal identification.
7. Secure Wiring: Use appropriate wire staples or clips to secure the wire along walls and ceilings, preventing it from being snagged or damaged.
8. Test System: Once all connections are made and secured, restore power to the garage door opener and test the functionality of the sensors and/or wall button.

Operating Instructions

The Genie Universal Garage Door Wire 35265B functions as a conduit for electrical signals between your garage door opener and its peripheral devices, such as safety sensors and wall control buttons. Once correctly installed, it facilitates the proper operation of these components, ensuring safety and convenience. No direct operation of the wire itself is required; its function is passive, transmitting signals as part of the overall garage door system.

Maintenance

Regular inspection of the wire is recommended to ensure its longevity and proper function. Check for any signs of wear, fraying, cuts, or damage to the insulation. Ensure that the wire remains securely fastened and is not pinched or exposed to excessive tension. If any damage is observed, replace the affected section of wire promptly to maintain system integrity and safety.

Troubleshooting

• Sensors Not Functioning: Check for loose connections at both the sensor and opener terminals. Inspect the entire length of the wire for cuts or damage. Ensure the wire is correctly connected to the positive and negative terminals.
• Wall Button Not Responding: Verify secure connections at the wall button and opener. Examine the wire for any visible damage.
• Intermittent Operation: This could indicate a loose connection or a partially damaged wire. Systematically check all connections and the wire's condition.

If issues persist after checking connections and wire integrity, consult your garage door opener's specific troubleshooting guide or contact a qualified technician.
