FEATURES
Your ATA Automatic Garage Door
Opener has many features which you
will appreciate. The components and
materials used in this Automatic Opener
are of the latest technology and highest
quality. Listed below are some of the
many features.
OPERATION
To operate the door simply press the
hand held transmitter or optional wall
switch for two seconds and the door
will automatically open or close. The
door can be stopped during an opening
or closing cycle by pressing again. The
next actuation will move the door in the
opposite direction.
HOPPING CODE
Every time a transmission is made from
the Remote Transmitter a new security
code is generated. The number of possi-
ble code combinations is over 4.29
billion. This greatly enhances security
of the system. Code “Grabbing” is
made a thing of the past.
ISS (INTELLIGENT SAFETY
OBSTRUCTION SYSTEM)
While the door is performing a close
cycle, should it hit an obstacle or be
restricted in some manner, it will
automatically reverse. The amount of
force the door should encounter before
reversing, is automatically adjusted by
the doors control system, during the
initial installation of the automatic door
opener. The door also if restricted whilst
opening will stop. The Safety
Obstruction Force should be checked at
least once a month. See installation
manual for instructions.
SECURITY CODE STORE
The Opener uses state of the art
technology in storing your selected
Transmitter Security Code. Up to 27
different codes can be stored in the
Openers memory.
To store a code simply press and hold
the Door Code button on the Opener
and press the Transmitter button twice.
Each or all codes can be deleted and
changed at any time. The codes can also
be stored with the Transmitter from a
remote location.
OVER LOAD INDICATOR
When the maximum opening and
closing capacity of the Opener is
exceeded the Courtesy Light will flash
10 times and an audible beeper will
sound to indicate that an Overload has
occurred.
SERVICE INDICATOR
The Opener has a Service indicator.
When the Overload LED light flashes
and the beeper sounds at the start of a
door cycle, it means that the opener and
or garage door needs a service.
AUTO COURTESY LIGHT
The Courtesy Light on the Opener
comes on automatically whenever the
door is activated to do an open or close
cycle. The Light can also be switched
on and off without operating the door.
This is done by pressing the button on
any Hand Held Transmitter which has
been stored with the light code, or by
pressing the light button on the Wall
Switch (optional). The light will stay on
for approximately three minutes then
switch off. This time is also adjustable.

developed the CAS (Colour Assisted
Settings) system. This unique system
makes installation easy and quick, as all
the Open and Close adjustments and
settings are colour coordinated. Red for
Close and Green for Open.
OPEN AND CLOSE DRIVE
BUTTONS
Another feature developed by
Automatic Technology Australia in
aiding in the installation of the opener is
the Open and Close Drive Buttons.
These buttons are used to help set the
open and close limit positions. A
quicker setting time and a more precise
limit position can be achieved using this
feature.
INITIALISATION
The Reset button on the Door Opener is
used to initialise or re-initialise the
obstruction settings and door travel
counts. See Installation Instructions for
further information.
AUTO CLOSE MODE
The Opener can be programmed to
automatically close after an open cycle.
The Auto Close time is adjustable. It is
compulsory to install a Photo Electric
Beam if this mode is selected, otherwise
the door will not operate.
SAFETY AUTO RUN TIME
If the Opener does not complete its
cycle within thirty seconds the Opener
will stop if opening, and reverse back
open if closing automatically.
PHOTO ELECTRIC BEAM
(OPTIONAL)
The Opener has an input for a Photo
Electric Beam to be connected for extra
