I have an industrial type control on the wall. Up/Down/Stop. Can I wire this from the wall or do I have to access the opener on the ceiling?

Should keep working from both places provided it uses the two wires. I think the remote will keep the sequence of start/stop/go-again with each button press, but the wall should keep it's three phase action. Try it -- no danger seeing what will happen.

Should not matter the type of control as long as one pair of wires trigger the opener motor. If you have two wires that control the unit, the Multicode will work.

Easy. Follow the directions provided which are pretty clear. You will need a step ladder to reach the button on the rear of you control unit.

Yes you can. I have it from the ceiling in my house and it works perfectly fine.

Sure, why would you?. The interior wall control is simply a button switch that is directly wired to the opener, whereas the remote control is battery powered for outside usage, the interior control is readily available as well as the remote.

I just use the remote even though the room is wired for separate light and fan. The fan itself should be able to handle wall switches, but you may need an electrician if you're not confident wiring yourself. We really like the fan. It runs perfect and is quite, the light is ample. We do have other lights in the room however.

the control switch mounts to the wall in the included holder. the receiving unit usually fits under the fan mounting bracket, simply slides in and reconnect the wiring as per the instructions. basic home wiring knowledge is recommended.

A connecting wire would need to be run between the two. It would be a choice of above or below the window. It could be run through the attic too. Since it's low voltage, there might be a power loss if it's too long. A good electrician could fish the wire through the cabinets and wall.

No internal modifications needed. This jewel connects to the terminals that your wall switch is now. This is the wall switch that raises and lowers your door. The 2 wires there now will stay there and you add the 2 wires from the new controller to the terminals on the opener. It is a parallel connection.

You would have to install the unit on the floor of the wall and even then you would need an automatic door opener, this system is designed to unlock an electric door strike for a brief period of time so that someone could push/pull open the door without having to unlock the door knob and use that

Yes to both. I put a junction box on the wall behind the fan with a solid cover plate with a hot wire within. cut the plug off the cord and ran the wire within the wall to boxWorks just fine as a pull cord on fan controles the 3 speeds.

You would use the included wall switch. If there is no entry to your garage except for the garage door, then you should buy an external key pad add on to ensure you have access even without a remote.

I am not familiar with your opener, but The LiftMaster 850 basically just makes a contact, the same as a doorbell type switch. If you have two wires that lead to a wall mounted switch, it's almost a certainty it will work. If you have a wiring diagram inside your current opener it may help you find a voltage source to operate the LiftMaster. If you have terminals for the doorbell switch wires on the outside of the opener, just follow the wires to the inside of your opener. This will tell you what wires need to make contact to operate your opener. Disconnect and run those two wires to the Liftmaster. Very easy.

No u need to use the remote to control the light and fan speed. It is the most easy way to install it. If u have two switches on the wall u don't need the remote. But most homes don't have that..

As a novice at electrical things, I really don't know the answer to this about wiring. I just followed the code, ups and downs, inside my old remote which was taken from inside the opener. I do find the range less than the old one, but I would rather be safe and not open the door too soon! Great item for the cost.

For the hand-held remote, nothing additional needed and it will work nicely with a direct wired fan (mine is that way). I did not opt to go with the wall switch because it's really not necessary. The hand-held remote is great.

Kathleen: If you are handy you will need to run extra wiring from wall to ceiling mount. Or , just put a wireless receiver in the fan base so it can be regulated remotely ~ makes life easier.

We have one wall switch and we operate the fan and light with the remote control. Remote allows you to operate them separately.
