Warranty
Two (2) year/5,000 cycles full parts and labour
warranty on motor, electronics and mechanical
components of the opener when installed by an
Automatic Technology Dealer.
TrioCodeTM128 Technology
Only transmitters with the TrioCodeTM128
Technology can operate with the latest GEN2
Openers, reducing the chance of interference from
other radio frequency sources. TrioCodeTM128
transmitters have the ability to code into earlier
model openers.
Code Hopping Technology
Every time a transmitter is used a new security
code is generated from over 100 billion possible
code combinations. This greatly enhances the
security of the system and makes “code grabbing”
a thing of the past!
Multi-Channel Transmitter
Multi-channel transmitters allow you to operate
other devices such as an adjoining garage door
or automated gate from the same handy unit.
S-ALPS (Semi Automatic Limits
Positioning System)
The S-ALPS system does away with manual
adjustment of the door’s limits position using
mechanical parts, such as cams and microswitches.
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 will also stop if
restricted whilst opening. The Safety Obstruction
Force should be checked monthly.
Manual Release
The manual release handle allows the door to
be operated by hand in the event of a power
failure.
Self Locking
There is no need to manually lock your garage
door, as the opener ‘positively’ locks the door
when closed.
Service Fault Indicator
Flashing LEDs on the control panel easily identify
operational problems or service requirements.
Dynamic Door Profiling
Changing door characteristics are automatically
compensated for and “learnt” with each
operation of the door.
Safety Beam (optional)
The opener has an input to connect a Safety
Beam for extra safety.
Vacation Mode
A transmitter can be programmed to disable
the garage door opener radio receiver. This is
ideal if the door is to be left idle for prolonged
periods. (Refer to 8.2 for information)
Pet (Pedestrian) Mode
A transmitter can be programmed to open
the door partially to allow pets access to the
garage. The default PET Mode height can be
adjusted to a desired position. (Refer to 7.4 for
information). To code a transmitter button to
operate PET mode refer to 8.4 for information.
Courtesy Light
The courtesy light comes on automatically for
three minutes whenever the door is activated.
The courtesy light automatically switches
on for approximately three (3) minutes
when operating the door. This can also
be programmed to turn on and off from a
transmitter. (Refer to 8.5 for information)

Transmitter
•To operate the opener, press the programmed
transmitter button until your door begins to move
(usually 2 seconds). Make sure you can see the

•Check that the door is fully closed before you
drive away.
•If you press the transmitter whilst the door is
moving the door will stop. The next press of the
transmitter will move the door in the opposite
direction.

WARNING! When operating the
manual release (while the door is
open) the door may fall rapidly due
to weak or broken springs, or due to
being improperly balanced.
Do not disengage the opener to
manual operation with children/
persons or any objects including
motor vehicles within the doorway.
6.2 Emergency Evacuations
In emergencies the garage door can be disengaged
from the opener, via the manual release cord and
the door opened manually. The manual release cord
should be a maximum of 1.8m from the ground. The
cord can be adjusted for special considerations.
6.3 Power Failure
When there is a power failure, the opener will be
unable to automatically open or close your garage
door. To use your door whilst there is no power you
will need to disengage the opener and use the door
manually – see 6.1 Manual Door Operation.
6.4 Re-Engaging the Opener
When the door has been disengaged from the
opener, the shuttle assembly, attached to the manual
release cord, can move up and down the chain.
Re-engage the opener (Fig 6.1) (preferably with
the door open to waist height) and then press the
programmed transmitter button, the motor will run
until the shuttle assembly engages the chain index
(Fig 6.2), you will hear it click into place. Then the
door will operate as normal.
CAUTION: When the opener is manually
disengaged, the door is no longer locked.
To lock the door manually, re-engage the
opener after the door is closed.
6.1 Manual Door Operation
To disengage the opener from the door (preferably
with the door in the closed position), pull down
on the string handle on an angle towards the door
(Fig 6.1). This will allow you to manually open or
close the door.
To re-engage the opener pull the string handle away
from the door - see 6.4 Re-Engaging the Opener.
6.5 Security - Inbuilt Locking Facility
DO NOT lock your door when your opener is
engaged as it has inbuilt locking facility. With the
opener engaged your door will be locked whether
the power is on or off.
CAUTION: Do not use the string handle
as a mechanism to open the door. Failure
to comply may cause serious injury.

10. Maintenance
10.1 Door Maintenance
Whilst your opener does not require any periodic
maintenance, the door that it is fitted to, does. Your
garage door is a large, heavy, moving object and
should be tested regularly to ensure it is in good
condition. A poorly maintained door could cause
fatal / serious injuries or damage to property.
•Frequently examine the door, particularly the
cables, springs and mountings for signs of wear,
damage or imbalance. DO NOT USE if repair
or adjustment is needed since a fault in the
installation or an incorrectly balanced door may
cause injury.
10.2 Lubrication (every 3 - 6 months)
To ensure a long and trouble free life for your door
the following is recommended:

When batteries reach the end of their usual life in accordance with Australian Battery Recycling Initiative
please follow the next simple steps for protecting the environment.
Refer to the Automatic Technology website for information on where to recycle batteries in Australia.
DO NOT throw the batteries in municipal waste. This symbol of the crossed out wheeled
bin indicates that the battery should not be placed in the municipal waste. Check your local
regulations for appropriate disposal of the batteries.
Recycling all batteries will have other environmental and social benefits:
•Some batteries are less toxic but hazardous for other reasons. Lithium batteries can explode or
catch fire in landfill, while button cells are dangerous if swallowed by children. Recycling offers a safe
and environmentally responsible solution for end of life batteries.
•Battery recycling recovers non-renewable materials such as lead, cadmium, stella, zinc, manganese,
cobalt, silver, plastics and rare earth elements.
•Removal of batteries and other hazardous household products from household waste facilitates the
recovery of organic materials through alternative waste technologies such as composting. Batteries
and heavy metals are known contaminants in compost.
•The community supports recycling because it reduces waste to landfill and achieves environmental
benefits.
WARNING! Prior to disposal, recycling, or collection, all battery terminals must be securely
insulated with a non conductive material to prevent any two batteries from short circuiting
and generating heat during storage or transport. Battery terminals may be insulated with
electrical tape; or batteries may be individually packaged in a non conductive material
(e.g., plastic bag or original packaging).
12. Battery Disposal
(Battery Type: 3V Lithium Battery CR2032).
Use a non-metallic object (e.g. pen) to remove the
battery. (Fig. 11.1). To test the battery is working,
press and hold a transmitter button; (Fig. 11.2).
