Roll Up Garage Door Opener

4GDO-6v3 EasyRoller®Owner Installation Instructions
CAUTION: 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.
For ADDITIONAL SAFETY protection we STRONGLY recommend the fitting of a Photo Electric (PE)
Beam. In most countries, PE Beams are mandatory on all garage doors fitted with automatic openers.
For a small additional outlay, Automatic Technology recommends that Photo Electric Beams be
installed with the automatic opener ensuring additional safety and peace of mind.
DO NOT operate the 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 opener when children/people are near the door. Children must be
supervised at all times when the EasyRoller® 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 EasyRoller®. Serious personal injury and/or
property damage can result from failure to follow this warning.
Photo Electric Beams must be installed where the closing force as measured
on the bottom of the door is more than 400N (40kgf).
Regularly check to make sure that the Safety Obstruction Force is working
correctly, and is tested and set as per page 17 of this manual. Failure to
follow these instructions 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/people or any other objects including motor vehicles
within the doorway.
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
Instructions may result in serious personal injury and/or
property damage.
Important Safety Instructions

Owner Installation Instructions GDO-6v3 EasyRoller®5
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 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 opener to a properly earthed general purpose 220V mains power outlet installed
by a qualified electrical contractor.
Disconnect the power cord from mains power before making any repairs or removing
covers. Only experienced service personnel should remove covers from the opener.
When using Auto-Close mode, a photo electric beam must be fitted correctly and
tested for operation at regular intervals. Extreme caution is recommended when
using Auto-Close mode. All safety rules must be followed.
In order for the EasyRoller® to sense an object obstructing the door way,
some force must be exerted on the object. As a result the object, door and/
or person may suffer damage or injury.
If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by an
Automatic Technology service agent or suitably qualified person.
Make sure that the door is fully open before driving in or out of the
garage and fully closed before leaving the driveway.
Make sure that remote transmitters are kept out of reach of
children.
Install the (optional) wall switch or (optional) wall
mounted transmitter in a location where the garage
door is visible, but out of the reach of children at a
height of at least 1.5 metres from the floor.

Operation
To open or close the door simply press a button on a TrioCode™ handheld
transmitter, a wall mounted transmitter, or optional wall switch for two seconds.
During open and close cycles the door can be stopped by pressing the button
again. The next actuation will move the door in the opposite direction.
TrioCode™ Code Hopping Technology
Every time a TrioCode™ transmitter is used, a new security code is randomly
generated from over 4.29 billion possibilities. This greatly enhances the security of
the system and makes “code grabbing” a thing of the past.
These transmitters also overcome interference issues by simultaneously sending a
signal over three slightly different frequencies. Even if two of the three signals are
jammed, the system will still work.
ALPS (Automatic Limits Positioning System)
ALPS does away with manual adjustment of the door’s limits position using mechanical
parts, such as cams and microswitches. During installation the handheld 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 monthly.
Auto courtesy light
The courtesy light comes on automatically for three minutes whenever the door is activated. The light can also
be operated independently of the door by coding a dedicated button on a transmitter.

SmartSolar™ and Battery Backup Compatibility (optional)
The opener can be fitted with a SmartSolar™ or Battery Backup kit for operation in
the event of a power outage, or where mains power access is not available. NOTE: If
the door is the only entrance to the garage, and a battery backup kit is not fitted,
a keyed cable release should be fitted externally to the garage.
Vacation mode
A handheld transmitter can be programmed to lock and unlock all other
transmitters that have been 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 transmitter can be programmed to open the door to an adjustable partial height
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 for pedestrian access.
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 PE Beam if this mode is selected, otherwise the
door may cause personal injury or damage to property.
Photo Electric (PE) Beam (optional)
The opener has an input to connect a PE Beam for extra safety 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,
the door can be put into manual mode by pulling down on the string handle on an angle towards the door.
This allows for manual operation of the door. To re-engage the opener, pull the string handle away from the
door.
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.

Installation
Step 1 - Preparation
Check the door’s operation:
The door must travel smoothly and be
easy to operate by hand.
Operating force on the bottom rail should
be approximately 70N (7kgs) force.
Adjust any tight or twisted guides/tracks
Clean the guides if there is any oil or wax
present using a suitable white spirit. The
only lubricant suitable for use on door
guides is silicon spray. DO NOT use WD-
40, RP-7, petroleum grease, or similar.
Install the locking bar covers if there are locking bar
holes in the guides. (Fig.03)
IMPORTANT NOTE - Do not lock your door
with the locking bars after installing the opener.
Remove or disable the lock using wire or cable
ties. Security is not affected as the opener has an
inbuilt locking facility.
Affix the warning labels supplied with this opener in
a prominent place where they are clearly visible.
Choose the side where the opener will be installed,
ensuring there is sufficient sideroom.
Step 2 - Fit the Weight Bar
The weight bar must be fitted to the bottom-centre for
proper operation of the opener.
If the door has a handle:
Remove the door handle
Fit the weight bar and refit the handle using the
new fasteners provided (Fig.04).
If the door does not have a handle:
Locate the centre of the door at the bottom rail
(Fig.05).

Step 3 - Pin the Door Curtain
Pinning the door curtain to the door drum maintains
security when the opener closes and locks.
Fully close the door.
Mark drill holes at both ends of the drum (Fig. 07).
Drill holes using 3.2mm (1/8”) drill bit. Open the
door slightly for easier access, if necessary.
Fit a 10 x 32mm screw and washer to each end. This
screw should be positioned as low as possible, but
make sure that it does not alter the curtain’s normal
approach to the guide (lead-in angle).
NOTE: Make sure that the screws do not project into the
area where the internal gear will fit.
Step 4 - Fitting the opener
At the end opposite to where the opener will be
fitted, check that the U-bolt is tightened securely.
Open the door completely and tie safety ropes
around the door roll approximately 300mm from
each end. Do not tie the ropes too tight as damage
to the curtain may ensue.
At the end where the opener is to be fitted, support
the door with a ladder or suitable prop:
WARNING! Make sure the support is snug under
the door, stable and will not move.
At the end where the opener will be fitted, use
masking tape or pen to mark the position of the
U-bolt in the door bracket and the position of the
door bracket on the wall to assist in reassembling.
Remove the U-bolt (or bolts) and saddle from the
door bracket.
