Important safety instructions

Owner Installation Instructions GDO-8V2 EasyRoller® II 5
The EasyRoller® II is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without adequate supervision.
Children should be supervised to ensure they do not play with the remote transmitters or the EasyRoller® II.
Keep hands and loose clothing clear of the door and EasyRoller® II at all times.
The unit is rated to IP24, however, it should be installed so that it is protected from the elements. Where
possible 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 EasyRoller® II.
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 EasyRoller® II.
Connect the EasyRoller® II to a properly earthed general purpose 240V mains
power outlet installed by a qualified electrical contractor. The outlet (and
EasyRoller® II) must be positioned so that it is easily accessible.
Disconnect the power cord from mains power before making any repairs
or removing covers. Only experienced service personnel should remove
covers from the EasyRoller® II.
In order for the EasyRoller® II 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 controls are
kept out of reach of children.

Operation
To open or close the door simply press a button on a SecuraCode® 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 reverse the door’s direction.
SecuraCode® Code Hopping Technology
Every time a SecuraCode® transmitter is used a new security code is generated
from over 4.29 billion possible code combinations. This greatly enhances the
security of the system and makes “code grabbing” a thing of the past!
Security code store
The GDO-8v2 EasyRoller® II Garage Door Opener uses evolutionary technology to
securely store eight (8) different transmitters in its memory.
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. PLEASE NOTE - the unit should not be
sprayed by a hose or any other water carrying device.
ALPS (Automatic Limits Positioning System)
The ALPS system automatically calculates the door’s 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 initialisation 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 pahe 15 of this manual for instructions.

NOTE:
1. The maximum continuos curtain residential roll up door opening that the EasyRoller® can be installed on is
5500mm wide by 2700mm high. The door must be well balanced. A person of average strength should be able
to lift up the door manually with very little effort in case of an emergency.
2. Intermittent operations may occur in areas which experience very strong winds. The strong wind puts extra
pressure on the door and tracks which may in turn trigger the safety obstruction detection system intermittently.

PLEASE NOTE:
Some areas may be prone to excessive radio interference brought on by devices such as cordless telephones,
wireless stereo headphones and baby monitors. It is possible that these devices could cause a degree of
interference such as to greatly reduce the range of the transmitter. In such an instance please contact your
Automatic Technology dealer for an alternative frequency replacement kit. As this is not a warrantable situation
but an environmental issue charges may apply for the changeover.
