- 1). Locate the terminals on the garage door opener marked for the installation of the switch. Do not confuse these terminals with the reversing photo-eye terminal.
- 2). Insert the low-voltage wire into the terminal and press until it is fully seated.
- 3). Locate the spot where the second switch will be installed. The switch needs to be at least five feet from the ground and out of reach of children.
- 4). Run the low-voltage wire from the operator to the switch, first along the ceiling and then the wall.
- 5). Straddle the wire with the insulated staples and tap them into the wall using a hammer. Be sure not to damage the wire.
- 6). Turn the opener switch upside down and locate the two wire terminals.
- 7). Unscrew the terminals with a screwdriver until the wires will fit underneath the screws.
- 8). Insert the wires into the terminals and screw them down.
- 9). Insert the mounting hardware screws into the switch's mounting holes and screw into the wall.
