Installation Steps
STEP 1: Determine Mounting Location
The door control module (DCM) must be installed where it can be seen and heard while standing under the garage door when it is open. The location must be within 5ft of a standard 110-volt AC power outlet. Options include mounting next to the opener near the ceiling, next to an existing wall console, or in place of an existing wall console.
After determining the mounting location, remove the mounting bracket from the back of the DCM, plug in the power cord to the power outlet, and connect the plug to the DCM.
STEP 2: Check Wi-Fi Coverage
Verify the Wi-Fi signal strength in the garage where the DCM will be mounted. Your smartphone must show at least two bars of Wi-Fi signal strength. If the signal is weak, consider moving your Wi-Fi router, ensuring it's not obstructed, or using a Wi-Fi extender.
STEP 3: Download the App
Scan the QR code or search the app store for "Aladdin Connect" to download the app. Follow the in-app instructions to create an account and set up the device and Wi-Fi connection.
STEP 4: Wire Aladdin Connect®
Ensure the garage door opener is unplugged. Split the provided dual strand wire, strip the ends, and connect them to the DOOR 1 terminals on the back of the DCM. The other end of the wire can be connected directly to the garage door opener or to the back of the wall control, following the wiring diagrams provided. Ensure correct terminal connections for polarity-sensitive wires.
Wiring methods for other garage door openers: Genie brand and most competitor brands of garage door openers are compatible. Visit www.GenieCompany.com/AladdinConnect for compatibility checks or consult your opener's manual.
STEP 5: Mount and Power Aladdin Connect®
Use the DCM mounting bracket as a template to mark and drill holes for mounting. Secure the bracket to the wall using the supplied screws or anchors. Plug the Power Pack into a wall outlet and then into the back of the DCM. Snap the DCM onto the mounting bracket. Route wires and secure them with staples. Affix the warning placard in a visible location.
STEP 6: Mount DPS Module to Garage Door
Do not remove the battery "PULL TAB" from the Door Position Sensor (DPS) until directed by the app. The DPS should be mounted on the top door panel, on the far left or right end stile, under the top hinge. Clean the door surface, attach the mounting bracket with the provided double-sided tape, and then secure the bracket with self-tapping screws. Slide the DPS onto the bracket until it snaps into place.
STEP 7: Complete the Programming
Restore power to the garage door opener. Operate the door using the wall control. Open the Aladdin Connect app and confirm that the door position displayed in the app is accurate. The app will send alerts for door status changes and maintain a log of operations.
