Anyone got one of these motors and have it hooked up to an external switch or alarm output for opening without their remote?

no offense but have you read the manual?

its all in there, tells you which connection on the terminal block to connect to if you want to control it via a switch or have it control something else via the aux output.

None taken. I dont have one of these motors. I’m getting one. But wanting to confirm if it will work as per my current opener which is connected to an output on our paradox alarm.

Also I did have a look through the user manual for it, off the dominator site. But I didn’t see any wiring options and if I skimmed it, I didn’t see that section. I think I found and image on another site for a different brand but same model number talking about a OSC port (for open stop close). I also tried hunting for an installers manual but that didn’t seem to be available.

the dominator manual is useless for what you want but if you look for others with the same model number you will find what you want.

Ahh cheers. I think I found that as images and did assume that model was the same. But didn’t see a full version of the manual.
