How to Connect a Chamberlain Garage Door Opener Keypad

Chamberlain garage door openers provide convenience and security for homeowners. Adding a keypad to your system allows you to open your garage door without using a remote or keys. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to connect a Chamberlain garage door opener keypad:

Materials you will need:

Chamberlain garage door opener keypad
Screwdriver
Wiring nuts
Electrical tape

Step 1: Identify the Correct Wiring Terminals

Locate the back of the garage door opener motor unit. There should be a small, white button labeled "Learn". Next to it, you will find two screw terminals labeled "KP" or "Keypad". These are the terminals you will use to connect the keypad.

Step 2: Wire the Keypad

Take the two wires from the keypad and strip about 1/2 inch of insulation from the ends. Twist the exposed copper wires together to create a single wire. Connect this wire to the "KP" or "Keypad" terminal on the garage door opener motor unit.

Step 3: Connect the Ground Wire

If your keypad has a green or bare wire, this is the ground wire. Connect this wire to the green screw terminal on the garage door opener motor unit.

Step 4: Secure the Keypad

Place the keypad in the desired location near your garage door. Use the screws provided to mount the keypad securely in place.

Step 5: Test the Keypad

Once the keypad is installed, test it by entering your desired PIN code. The garage door should open and close as expected. If it doesn't, check your connections and make sure that the keypad is securely mounted.

Step 6: Program Additional Codes

You can program up to four different PIN codes on your keypad. To do this, press and hold the "Program" button on the keypad for 3 seconds. Enter a new PIN code and press "Enter". Repeat this process for any additional PIN codes.

Step 7: Erase All Codes

If you need to erase all PIN codes from the keypad, press and hold the "Erase" button for 3 seconds. This will erase all codes and reset the keypad to factory settings.

Additional Tips:

Choose a secure PIN code that is not easy to guess.
Keep the keypad away from direct sunlight and moisture.
If you have any problems connecting or using the keypad, consult the manufacturer's manual or contact Chamberlain customer support.

By following these steps, you can easily connect a Chamberlain garage door opener keypad to your system. This will provide you with a convenient and secure way to open your garage door without the need for keys or remotes.
