1. Safety Rules
Please read these important safety rules
This automatic garage door opener is designed and tested to offer safe service provided it is
installed and operated in strict accordance with the following safety rules. Failure to comply with
the following instructions may result in death, serious personal injury or property damage.
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.
• If the door is closing and does not re-open when obstructed,
discontinue use. Do not use a door with faulty obstruction sensing.
ELECTROCUTION! • Place opener in protected area so that it does not get wet.
• Do not spray with water .
• Do not open the protective covers.
• Do not operate opener if cable is damaged.
CAUTION:
Emergency access • If your garage has no pedestrian entrance door, an emergency
access device should be installed. This accessory allows manual
operation of the garage door from outside in case of power failure.
Entrapment under
operating door
• Watch the moving door and keep people away until the door is
completely opened or closed. Do not operate door when persons
are near the door.
• Do not allow children to play with door controls or transmitters.
• Regularly conduct Open and Close cycle testing.
• Ensure the garage door is in good working order by undertaking
regular servicing.
• Wall transmitters should be installed in a location where the garage
door is visible, but out of the reach of children at a height of at
least 1.5m.
• Install Safety Beams (recommended).
Fall from Ladder • Ensure ladder is the correct type for the job.
• Ensure ladder is on flat ground.
• Ensure user has 3 points of contact while on ladder.
Entanglement in or
laceration from
moving door
• Keep hands and loose clothing clear of door and guides at all times.
• Keep hands clear of moving door as sharp edges can cause cuts or
lacerations.
DO NOT DO IT
YOURSELF
• Keep the garage door balanced. Sticking or binding doors must be

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 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.
Safety Reversing System
The automatic safety reverse system significantly
reduces the risk of death or serious injury if
trapped by a closing door. The safety reverse force
can be adjusted for environmental conditions such
as windy areas.
Memory Retention
In case of a power failure the opener does not lose
the transmitter codes or limit settings.
Manual Release
The manual release handle allows the door to be
operated by hand in the event of a power failure.
Easy Access Transmitter
Inside the manual release handle is a transmitter
designed to be in easy reach so that the garage
door can be operated without having to stretch to
reach the operate button on the control panel.
Self Locking
There is no need to manually lock your garage
door, as the opener ‘positively’ locks the door when
closed.
Service Indicator
The opener has a built in service counter. From
factory this is loaded with 3000 cycles. When this
counter expires, the service yellow LED will light
up and at the start of each door movement the
beeper will sound three times. After opening
or closing the door the courtesy light will flash
and beeper sound five times. Contact your
dealer/installer for service. (Refer to 10.5 for
information).
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.
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 8.3 for information.
LED Courtesy Light
Using the latest Light Emitting Diode (LED)
technology, the opener features two LEDS
These LEDS produce a brilliant white light that
illuminates the garage upon activation.
The LED courtesy light automatically switches
on for approximately four (4) minutes (time
programmable) when operating the door. This
can also be programmed to turn on and off
from a transmitter. (Refer to 8.4 for information)
