GDO-6v4 EasyRoller®
Roll Up Garage Door Opener

4GDO-6v4 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 Safety Beam. In
most countries, Safety Beams are mandatory on all garage doors fitted with automatic openers. For a
small additional outlay, Automatic Technology recommends that Safety 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-6v4 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 safety 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.
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.
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.
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 Safety Beam if this
mode is selected, otherwise the door may cause personal injury or damage to
property.
Safety Beam (optional)
The opener has an input to connect a Safety Beam for extra safety and use of the
Auto-Close mode. Easy Beam PE 3 kit or Wireless Safety Beam kit can be used with
this opener.
Safety Beam Failure Emergency Close
When a safety beam prevents movement due to any reason other than a ‘real’
obstruction, the user can secure their property by pressing and holding a button on the
remote control or OSC on the console.
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.
Service Indicator
The opener has a built in counter with a default setting of 3000 cycles. When the counter expires the opener
will beep and flash to indicate a service is required.
