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,

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 power cord 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

expressly excludes all or any liability for any injury, damage, cost, expense or claim whatsoever suffered by any person as a result whether directly or indirectly from failure to install the

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.
Weatherproof Design
The opener’s control board is housed in a
weather-proof enclosure rated to IP24. This
offers protection from rain and the elements.
NOTE: the unit should not be sprayed by a hose or
any other water carrying device.
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.
During installation the handheld transmitter can be
programmed to set the limits positions.
Overload 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.
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 initialisation of the automatic
door opener.
Lockable Control Panel
The control panel can be locked and disabled
to prevent tampering. This is useful if the
opener is to be mounted on an exposed carport
or a perimeter door. Locking the control panel
will prevent operating the door via the Operate
button, re-profiling the door, clearing limits,
clearing transmitters, changing force margins,
and coding transmitters.
Safety Beam (optional)
The opener has an input for a Safety beam to
be connected for extra safety protection.
Manual Operation
The opener is equipped with a unique patented
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, then releasing. This will
allow you to manually open or close the door.
Security Lock For Manual Release
Handle (optional)
For added security the manual release handle
can be locked out or disabled. This is ideal if the
opener is to be mounted on a perimeter door in
an exposed carport.
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)

10. Door 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 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:
•Guide Tracks: Clean the internal sections of
the guide tracks with a cloth dampened with
mineral turps or methylated spirits.
10.3 Door Service and Repair
If correct maintenance and servicing are not carried
out, warranty may be void. To keep your door
running well, it is recommended that your door
be serviced by an experienced technician, every
12 months or earlier if required:
•Fasterners: Check all screws, nuts and bolts to
ensure they are secure.
•Spring Tension: It is natural for springs to lose
tension. Should the door become hard to
operate or completely inoperative, contact your
dealer.
DO NOT DO IT YOURSELF:
Door adjustments should only be
carried out by experienced persons,
as this function can be dangerous
if not performed under strict safety
procedures.
WARNING! Failure to maintain your
garage door may void the warranty
on your garage door opener.
DIY
ELECTROCUTION! Disconnect the
opener power cord from the mains
power before making any door
