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.
TrioCode Frequency Hopping Technology
Every time a transmitter is used, it simultaneously
sends a signal over three different frequencies,
reducing the chance of interference from other
radio frequency sources.
Code Hopping Technology
Every time a 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!
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.
Soft Start/Soft Stop
The opener eases into and out of each cycle
making for smoother and quieter operation, as
well as reducing wear and tear on the door and
opener.
Manual Release
The manual release handle allows the door to be
operated by hand in the event of a power failure.
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. 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.
Safety Beam (Optional)
The opener has an input to connect a Safety
Beam for extra safety and use of the Auto-Close
mode. Safety Beam PE 3 kit or Wireless Safety
Beam kit can be used with this opener.
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.
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 in a dedicated button on
a transmitter. (Refer to 8.2 for information)
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 8.3 for information)
Pet (Pedestrian) Mode
A transmitter can be programmed to open
the door partially to allow pets access to the
garage. The door opening height is adjustable
via a handheld programmer (contact your
dealer for further 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
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.
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.
•Steel Hinges (if fitted): Sparingly lubricate with
an all-purpose machine oil. Also lubricate wheel
to axle bearings.
•Plastic Hinges: No lubrication is generally
required; however silicon spray may be used if
necessary.
•Springs: If accessible wipe over with an oily rag.
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:
•Lifting Cables (if fitted): Check for wear
through rubbing. If there is fraying or signs of
corrosion contact your dealer immeditately
and discontinue use, leaving door in the closed
position.
•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

10.4 Opener Maintenance
To ensure a long and trouble free life for your opener
the following is recommended:
•Monthy: Run the Safety Testing procedures in
Section 7 to ensure garage door is fit for use.
NOTE: If the door does not operate smoothly, call
your nearest Approved Dealer.
10.5 Service Indicator
While the door opener does not require regular
servicing, to function correctly the door must be
in good operating condition. As a reminder the
DynamoTM has a built in maintenance counter. This
counter has a factory default of 3000 cycles, which is
the recommended service interval.
When this counter expires the yellow SERVICE LED
will light up and opener beep three times at the start
of each cycle (Fig. 10.1). In addition the courtesy
light will flash and opener beep five times at the end
of open cycle (when the door is fully open).
These warning signals will self extinguish after 30
cycles. When this service counter is triggered it is
strongly recommended you contact your garage
door dealer to arrange a door service. See Section
13 for Recommended Service Schedule.
However, if you choose not to have your door
serviced the counter can be reset simply by pressing
the LIMIT SET button.
10.6 Removing the Battery From the
Transmitter
(Battery Type: 3V Lithium Battery CR2032).
