Programming Wireless Keypads

Preparing for Programming

First, it’s advisable to program the keyless entry before it is mounted to a wall. Ensure that the opener is in the down position and the door is fully closed before you begin the programming process. Locate the learn button, found on the right side of the opener near the motor head with a red LED light above it.

Inputting Your PIN

Press the learn button, upon which the LED light should illuminate. Once it does, enter your chosen five-digit PIN (avoid using your address for safety concerns). The red LED light will blink three times to confirm successful programming. If issues arise, pressing the 7/8 and 9/0 buttons simultaneously will reset the keypad, allowing you to try again with a different PIN if you have multiple garage doors.

Programming Transmitters

Initial Setup

To program a transmitter, locate the program button on the right side of the opener. Press and release this button, and the LED light and opener light will illuminate for a minute, indicating readiness. Once activated, press any button on the desired transmitter. The LED light should blink three times, confirming successful programming.

Finalizing the Process

Press the same transmitter button again to conclude the programming operation, which should activate the opener and open the garage door. Your transmitter is now ready for use.

Wireless Wall Station Programming

Steps to Program

Similar to the transmitter, first locate the program button on the opener unit. After pressing and releasing it, the red LED light will illuminate for one minute. Then, press and release the oval button on the wall station. Once the LED flashes three times, the programming is successful. Press the button again to complete the operation.

Understanding the iDrive Opener System

Features and Limitations

The Wayne Dalton iDrive opener system is designed exclusively for use with Wayne Dalton’s Torquemaster torsion spring system. Though considered effective and reliable, the system generally lasts around five years and can require costly replacements when issues arise.

Programming the iDrive Accessories

Before programming, use the emergency disconnect cord to detach the opener from the door. Locate the round red program button on the front cover of your opener. Press it to initiate programming, indicated by a single beep. You have 30 seconds to press the desired transmitter button, receiving a second beep as confirmation of successful programming.

Programming the Quantum Series Models

Introduction to Quantum Series

Programming for the Wayne Dalton Quantum series includes models 3214, 3314, 3316, and 3414. Start by locating the programming control panel on the motor head, where the program switch is located adjacent to a red LED status light.

Steps to Program a Transmitter

Press the program button to activate programming mode. The lights will illuminate, and you should press the transmitter button you wish to use. The lights should blink three times, signifying that programming has been successful. Press the button again to confirm.

Changing Codes on Two-Button Transmitters

Steps for Code Change

Press and hold the button you want to change on the micro transmitter until the green LED blinks. Continue holding until it turns steady, then release and press again until it flashes, indicating that you have successfully changed the code.

Functions of the Program Button

Various Programming Functions

The program button on Wayne Dalton openers performs four different functions, including entering programming mode, customizing settings, adjusting force, and deleting all codes from memory. Understanding these functions can enhance your programming experience.

Customizing Pet Position Opening

Frequently Asked Questions

om good

We receive many calls involving the safety eyes preventing the garage door from closing due to the safety eyes malfunctioning or simply being out of alignment. If your garage door opens fine, but will not close using the wall console, then this could be a safety eye issue. If the opener light flashes and/or the motor makes a clicking sound, this is a warning that you have a safety eye issue. You can begin by looking at the safety eyes themselves. You should see a steady light on both of the safety eyes. If one of the lights is flashing then you may just need to simply align the eyes properly. This is done by physically moving/adjusting the safety eyes until you have both safety eyes with a solid light showing.

If both safety eyes are showing a solid light, then you may have malfunctioning safety eyes.

A simple test is to press and hold the wall console to close the door. If the garage door closes while holding the wall console button, then you probably have a safety eye issue. 

We offer a full line of commercial garage door openers to fit the needs of the customer. For smaller commercial sectional garage doors we recommend using the Liftmaster 8900W these operators are rated for 14 feet maximum height and 300lbs total weight.
