Setup and Installation
Installation of the Deluxe Wall Console is straightforward and typically involves connecting it to your existing garage door opener wiring. Hardware and bell wire are included for new installations or replacement.
Required Tools:
- Screwdriver (Phillips head recommended)
- Wire strippers (if using new wire or splicing)
- Drill (if mounting in a new location)
Installation Steps:
- Disconnect Power: Before beginning any electrical work, ensure the garage door opener is unplugged from the power outlet or the circuit breaker is turned off to prevent electrical shock.
- Remove Old Console (if applicable): Carefully detach your old wall console from the wall. Disconnect the existing wires, noting which wire connects to which terminal (usually marked as RED and WHITE or similar).
- Prepare Wiring: If using the included bell wire, run it from the location of the new wall console to the garage door opener unit. If using existing wiring, ensure the ends are clean and stripped approximately 1/2 inch.
- Connect Wires to Console: Connect the bell wire to the terminals on the back of the Deluxe Wall Console. Typically, one wire connects to the red terminal and the other to the white terminal. Ensure a secure connection.
- Mount Console: Secure the Deluxe Wall Console to the wall using the provided screws. Mount it at a convenient height, typically near the garage entry door.
- Connect Wires to Opener: At the garage door opener unit, connect the other end of the bell wire to the corresponding terminals (usually marked for wall console connection). Refer to your garage door opener's manual for specific terminal locations if unsure.
- Restore Power: Plug the garage door opener back into the power outlet or turn the circuit breaker back on.
- Test Operation: Test all functions of the new wall console: the main door button, the light button, and the lock button.
Note: Some existing wiring setups may require the use of the new wire provided with the console for full functionality. If issues arise after installation with existing wiring, consider replacing it with the included wire.
Operating Instructions
The Guardian Deluxe Wall Console provides three primary functions for controlling your garage door opener.
- Main Door Control Button: The large, central button on the console is used to open or close the garage door. Pressing this button will activate the garage door opener, initiating movement of the door.
- Light Button (LIGHT): Located on the left, this red button with a lightbulb icon controls the garage door opener's light. Press it once to turn the light on, and press it again to turn the light off. The light may also activate automatically when the door is operated.
- Lock Button (LOCK): Located on the right, this red button with padlock icons enables or disables the Remote Lock Out Feature. When activated, this feature prevents the garage door from being opened by remote controls, enhancing security. This is useful when you are away or do not want the door to be opened by unauthorized remote access. Press the button to toggle the lock feature on or off.
Maintenance
The Guardian Deluxe Wall Console requires minimal maintenance to ensure long-term reliable operation.
- Cleaning: Periodically wipe the surface of the console with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and grime. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the finish or internal components.
- Wiring Inspection: Occasionally inspect the wiring connections at both the wall console and the garage door opener unit to ensure they remain secure. Loose connections can lead to intermittent operation.
- Environmental Conditions: Ensure the console is not exposed to excessive moisture or extreme temperatures, which could affect its performance.
