IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
For ADDITIONAL SAFETY protection we
STRONGLY recommend the fitting of a Photo Electric
Beam. In most countries Photo Electric Beams are
mandatory on all garage doors fitted with automatic
openers. For a small additional outlay ATA recommends
that Photo Electric Beams be installed with the
automatic opener ensuring additional safety and peace
of mind.
DO NOT operate the garage door opener unless the
garage door is in full view and free from objects such as
cars and children/people. Make sure that the door has
finished moving before entering or leaving the garage.
DO NOT operate the garage door opener when
children/persons are near the door. Children must be
supervised near the garage door at all times when the
door opener is in use. SERIOUS PERSONAL
INJURY and/or property damage can result from failure
to follow this warning.
DO NOT allow children to operate the garage door
opener. SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY and/or
property damage can result from failure to follow this
warning.
Regularly check to make sure that the SAFETY
OBSTRUCTION FORCE is working correctly, and is
TESTED (by placing a 50mm high object on the floor)
and set as per the Installation Instructions Manual.
Failure to follow the manual could result in SERIOUS
PERSONAL INJURY and/or property damage. This
test must be repeated at regular intervals and the
necessary adjustments made as required.
DO NOT disengage the door opener to manual
operation with children/persons or any other objects
including motor vehicles within the doorway.
Install the wall switch or wall mounted transmitter in a
location where it is out of reach of children and the
garage door is visible.
The door opener is not intended for use by young
children or infirm persons without adequate supervision.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not
play with the remote transmitters or the opener.
Keep hands and loose clothing CLEAR of the door and
door opener at all times.
Warning - It is vital for the safety of persons to follow all instructions. Failure to comply
with the following Safety Rules may result in serious personal injury and/or property damage.
The unit should be installed so that it is protected from
the elements. It should not be exposed to water or rain.
It is not to be immersed in water or sprayed directly by
a hose or other water carrying device.
The garage door must be WELL BALANCED.
Sticking or binding doors must be repaired by a
qualified garage door installer prior to installation of the
opener.
Frequently examine the installation, in particular
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. DO
NOT attempt to repair the door yourself as hardware is
under extreme tension.
REMOVE OR DISENGAGE all garage door locks
and mechanisms prior to installation of the opener.
Connect the garage door opener to a properly
EARTHED general purpose 240V mains power outlet
installed by a qualified electrical contractor.

PRODUCT FEATURES
Thank you for purchasing the ATA
SecuraLift®Automatic Garage Door
Opener. This opener is designed to suit
sectional overhead and one piece tilt up
doors. The components and materials
used in this opener are of the latest
technology and highest quality. Listed
below are some of the many features.
OPERATION
To open or close the door simply press
the hand held transmitter, the wall
mounted transmitter, or optional wall
switch for two seconds. During an open
or close cycle the door can be stopped
by pressing the button while the door is
in motion. 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
possible code combinations is over 4.29
billion. This greatly enhances the
security of the system. Code “grabbing”
is made a thing of the past.
ALPS (AUTOMATIC LIMITS
POSITIONING SYSTEM)
A revolutionary door travel limits
positioning system., the new ALPS
technology does away with manual
adjustment of the doors’ limits position
using mechanical parts, such as cams
and micro switches.
The ALPS technology automatically
calculates the doors’ travel limits and
stores it in memory. If the door is
moved manually within the travel limits
during a power failure, the ALPS will
recognise this once the power is
restored and stop at the correct limit
position if the door is activated.
During installation the hand held
transmitter can be programmed to set
the door limits positions.
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 at
least once a month. See installation
manual for instructions.
SECURITY CODE STORE
The SecuraLift®Garage Door Opener
uses state of the art technology in
storing your selected transmitter
security code. Up to 23 different
transmitters can be stored in the openers
memory.
OVER LOAD INDICATOR
When the maximum opening and
closing capacity of the opener is
exceeded an audible beeper will sound
to indicate that an overload has
occurred.
AUTO COURTESY LIGHT
The courtesy light on the opener comes
on automatically whenever the door is
activated. The light can also be
switched on and off without operating
the door. This is done by pressing the
button on any hand held or wall
mounted transmitter which has been
stored with the light code.The light will
stay on for approximately three minutes
then switch off. This time is also
adjustable.
VACATION MODE
A hand held transmitter can be
programmed to lock and unlock all
other transmitters that have being
programmed into the openers’ memory.
The vacation mode can be used when
the door is left idle for long periods of
time.
PET (PEDESTRIAN) MODE
The hand held transmitter can be
programmed to open the door partially
so that the family pet can enter and exit
the garage at any time. You may also
wish to open the door to a height
suitable only for pedestrian access. The
door opening position is also
programmable.
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 may cause personal injury or
damage to property.
PHOTO ELECTRIC BEAM
(OPTIONAL)
The opener has an input for a photo
electric beam to be connected for extra
safety protection and use of the auto
close mode.
MANUAL OPERATION
The opener is equipped with a unique
manual disengaging device. If the
power to the opener is disrupted for any
reason the door can be put into manual
mode by pulling down on the string
handle on an angle towards the door.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR
INSTALLATION
Warning: Incorrect installation can lead to severe injury.
Follow ALL installation instructions.
CHECK OPERATION OF DOOR
BEFORE BEGINNING THE INSTALLATION OF THE
SECURALIFT®AUTOMATIC OPENER CHECK THE
OPERATION OF THE DOOR.
The door must be well balanced and be in a reasonable
operating condition. You should be able to lift the door
smoothly and with little resistance. It should stay open around
900mm to 1200mm above the floor. The door should not stick
or bind in the guide tracks. The ideal operational effort in
raising or lowering the door should not exceed a force of 10kg
(22 lbs.). Make sure that all door locks are either released, or
disabled and remove unnecessary accessories.
STEP 1
Slide shuttle assembly onto tube (one piece only) and locate it
in approximately half way position.
Please note: Arrow on shuttle must point towards garage door.
To assemble the rest of the tubes, always slide short insert tube
half way into the long tube, then slide other tube onto
remaining portion of insert tubes. Continue this process with
remaining tube until desired length is achieved.
STEP 2
The opener is supplied with a 10 teeth drive sprocket on drive
unit. If the opener is to be fitted to a one piece door without
track, exchange the 10 teeth sprocket on drive unit, with a 7
teeth drive sprocket available as an option from ATA.
IMPORTANT: If using a track type door (often referred to as
a sectional or track tilt door) use only 10 teeth drive sprocket on
the drive unit. If using a one piece door without tracks use the
7 teeth sprocket on drive unit.
STEP 3
Attach one end of chain (supplied) to chain index screw,
nearer to drive unit, using one joint link. (Fig. 3).
Proceed to wrap chain around drive unit sprocket/idler wheel
then follow along the pipe to the idler wheel on support pipe
assembly, finally attach to the other end of the chain index
screw.
NOTE: Make certain that teeth of drive unit sprocket are
engaged in the chain and that the chain is not twisted. Make
sure that the chain is engaged in the plastic chain idle wheel on
the support pipe assembly.
STEP 4
Disengage trolley from chain index by swinging lever
downward (Fig. 4), then slide trolley away from chain index
along pipe track. Loosen locking nuts on chain index screws. To
tighten chain, turn chain index in anti-clockwise direction,
looking from support pipe assembly to drive unit. Do not over-
tighten chain as it has to sag 6-12mm. Check before locking
screw with locking nuts that chain is not twisted. When the
tension is finalised, tighten lock nuts at both ends of chain
index.

FIG. 9
STEP 5
Open the door and find the highest point of travel of the top
door panel. Using a level, transfer this height to the wall above
the floor (Fig. 6) and mark a line 60mm above it.
Determine the centre of the location on the wall above and on
top of the door. Then draw two (2) lines 21.5mm on each side
of the door centre. (Fig. 7).
STEP 6
The intersection of line at 21.5mm from door centre and line
60mm above highest point of travel are centre points, where
holes for mounting of wall bracket should be drilled. (Fig. 7)
If the wall bracket is mounted onto concrete or brick wall, use
8mm or 5/6 loxins or dynabolts. If mounting onto wooden
lintel or beam, use wood screw #20 or equivalent minimum
50mm long.
WARNING: MAKE SURE CONCRETE, BRICK WALL
OR TIMBER LINTELS ARE SOLID AND SOUND SO AS
TO FORM A SECURE MOUNTING PLATFORM.
STEP 7
When the wall bracket is firmly secured in its proper position,

the top edge of the door as it moves. Stop the door when it is at
its highest point of travel. (Fig. 12)
Allow 25mm additional height for clearance between the door
and the track. Support pipe / tube in this position and the close
the door. (Fig. 12) This will be the height to mount the wall
bracket. Top of door must not touch tube.
WARNING: THE OPENER MUST BE SECURELY
FASTENED TO A STRUCTURAL SUPPORT OF THE
GARAGE. FAILURE TO FASTEN THE OPERATOR
CORRECTLY WILL LEAD TO POSSIBLE OPENER
FAILURE CAUSING SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY
AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
STEP 12
With the centre point of the door located, mark a line through
the centre of the wall bracket onto the header wall (above the
door). Using the bracket as a template mark a minimum of two
holes and drill with appropriate size bit. If necessary the wall
bracket can be anchored using more than two holes for a more
secure fitting.

STEP 13
The door bracket comes in two parts. The bottom plate with two
mounting holes is used on its own for any one piece doors. The
top plate is placed over the bottom plate and uses 4 mounting
holes for extra strength. This is used on sectional doors. (See
Fig. 14).
Mount the door bracket to the centre line of the door (Fig. 14),
using M6 or equivalent screws (not supplied) Alternatively it
can be welded on steel doors.
Note: As various types of doors exist, if in doubt about the
strength of the door, reinforcement may need to be added to the
frame of the frame or panel where necessary. Damage to the
door panel may occur if the bracket is installed incorrectly on a
panel with insufficient strength. The door opener warranty does
not cover damage caused by the opener to the door and/or door
panel.
STEP 14
Assemble bent and straight arm with screws, plain and spring
washer and nuts supplied in accessory pack. (Fig. 15) Then
connect assembled arm to the door bracket and the trolley by
clevis pin and spring clip. Trolley must be in disengage
position. Always use the bend & straight arm.
If installing on a door with bad wave action, lengthening the
arm even further will assist the door operation by reducing the
wave action.
