Note: Control Panel Assemblies are currently being manufactured with two 6-Pin connectors instead of a single 12-Pin connector.
The Double 6-Pin to 12-Pin Adapter is needed* if the controller for your door is wired for a 12-Pin connector. You can check by looking at the back of your existing control panel assembly. It will either have 2 6-pin connectors coming out of the main circuit board, or it will have a single 12-pin connector.
Your door controller is likely wired with a 12-pin connector if it was not manufactured in one of the following time periods (when two 6-pin connectors have been used).
- 5/8/2018 - 8/5/2018
- A short period around May 2020.
- Beginning August 2023 - Current.
12-pin connectors were installed during all other manufacturing periods going back to 2015.
*Instructions to convert existing 12-pin to double 6-pin connector wiring is available in the following document: https://cloud.cooptender.com/RIp1a6mB. The Double 6-Pin to 12-Pin Adapter is not needed if you follow the instructions to convert your existing wiring (https://cloud.cooptender.com/WfwQRIbo).
