SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Warning - It is vital for the safety of persons to follow all instructions. Failure to comply
with the following Safety Rules may result in serious personal injury and/or property damage.
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 Beam. In most countries Photo Electric
Beams are mandatory on all garage doors fitted
with automatic openers. For a small additional
outlay ATA recommends that Photo Electric Beams
be installed with the automatic opener ensuring
additional safety and peace of mind.
DO NOT operate the garage door 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 garage door opener when
children/persons are near the door. Children must
be supervised near the garage door at all times
when the door opener 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 garage door
opener. SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY and/or
property damage can result from failure to follow
this warning.
Regularly check to make sure that the SAFETY
OBSTRUCTION FORCE is working correctly, and
is TESTED (by placing a 50mm high object on the
floor) and set as per the Installation Instructions
Manual. Failure to follow the manual 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/persons 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.
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 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 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 garage door opener to a properly
EARTHED general purpose 240V 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 garage door 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 garage door opener 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 ATA 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.
Install the wall switch or wall mounted transmitter in
a location where it is out of reach of children and
the garage door is visible.

FEATURES
Thank you for purchasing the ATA
GDO-9 Automatic Garage Door
Opener. This opener is designed to
suit sectional overhead and one
piece tilt up doors. The components
and materials used in this opener
are of the latest technology and
highest quality. Listed below are
some of the many features.
OPERATION
To open or close the door simply
press the hand held transmitter, the
wall mounted transmitter, or optional
wall switch for two seconds. During
an open or close cycle the door can
be stopped by pressing the button
while the door is in motion. The next
actuation will move the door in the
opposite direction.
HOPPING CODE
Every time a transmission is made
from the remote transmitter a new
security code is generated. The
number of possible code
combinations is over 4.29 billion.
This greatly enhances the security
of the system. Code “grabbing” is
made a thing of the past.
ALPS ( AUTOMATIC
LIMITS POSITIONING SYSTEM)
The ALPS system does away with
manual adjustment of the doors’
limits position using mechanical
parts, such as cams and micro
switches.
During installation the hand held
transmitter can be programmed to
set the door limits positions.
ISS (INTELLIGENT SAFETY
OBSTRUCTION SYSTEM)
Whilst performing a close cycle the
door will automatically reverse if it
should hit an obstacle or is restrict-
ed in some manner. The amount of
force the door should encounter
before reversing is automatically
adjusted by the control system dur-
ing the initialisation of the opener.
The door will also stop if restricted
whilst opening. The safety obstruc-
tion force should be checked at
least once a month. See installation
manual for instructions.
SECURITY CODE STORE
The gdo-9 securalift® Garage Door
Opener uses state of the art tech-
nology in storing your selected
transmitter security codes Up to 24
different transmitters can be stored
in the openers memory.
OVER LOAD 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.
AUTO COURTESY LIGHT
The opener’s courtesy light illumi-
nates automatically whenever the
door is activated. The light can
also be switched on and off without
operating the door. This is done by
pressing the button on any transmit-
ter which has been coded to operate
the light. The light will stay on for
approximately three minutes then
switch off. This time is also
adjustable.
BATTERY BACK UP (OPTIONAL)
The opener has provision to include
a battery back up module. This is an
ideal addition if the garage door is
the only entrance to the garage or if
the area is prone to power cuts.
Note: If the panel lift door is the only
entrance to the garage and a battery
back up kit is not fitted to the open-
er - a keyed cable release should be
fitted to the exterior of the garage.
VACATION MODE
A transmitter can be programmed to
block out all other transmitters that
have been programmed into the
opener’s memory. Vacation mode is
ideal for homes with non-permanent
tenancy or when the door is to be
left idle for long periods of time.
PET (PEDESTRIAN) MODE
A transmitter can be programmed to
open the door partially so that the
family pet can enter and exit the
garage at any time. If required, you
may also wish to open the door to a
height suitable only for pedestrian
access. The opening height is
adjustable.
AUTO CLOSE MODE
The opener can be programmed to
automatically close after an open
cycle. It is compulsory to install a
photo electric beam if this mode is
selected, otherwise the door may
cause personal injury or damage to
property. Auto close time is
adjustable.
PHOTO ELECTRIC BEAM
(OPTIONAL)
The opener has an input for a photo
electric beam to be connected for
extra safety protection 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 for any reason the door
can be put into manual mode by
pulling down on the string handle on
an angle towards the door. This will
allow you to manually open or close
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 oprate button on
the control panel.

STEP 5
Open the door and find the highest point of travel of the
top door panel. Using a level, transfer this height to the
wall above the door (Fig. 12) and mark a line 60mm
above it.
Determine the centre point on the wall above and on top
of the door. Then draw two (2) lines 21.5mm on each
side of the centre point. (Fig. 13).
STEP 6
The wall bracket should be mounted 60mm above
highest point of the doors travel, 21.5mm from the
centre point. (Fig. 13).
If the wall bracket is mounted onto concrete or brick wall,
use 8mm or 5/6 loxins or dynabolts. If mounting onto
wooden lintel or beam, use wood screw #20 or
equivalent minimum 50mm long.
WARNING: MAKE SURE CONCRETE, BRICK WALL
OR TIMBER LINTEL ARE SOLID AND SOUND SO AS
TO FORM A SECURE MOUNTING PLATFORM.
STEP 7
When the wall bracket is firmly secured in its proper
position, attach the support c-rail assembly to wall
bracket with 90mm long clevis pin and secure with
supplied snap pin, (Fig. 14) leaving drive unit in its
packing box for protection during installation.
STEP 8
Raise the drive unit from the packing box and support it
in a horizontal position with a step ladder, then open the

STEP 12
With the centre point of the door located, mark a line
through the centre of the wall bracket onto the header
wall (above the door). Using the bracket as a template
mark a minimum of two holes and drill with appropriate
size bit. If necessary the wall bracket can be anchored
using more than two holes for a more secure fitting.
If the wall bracket is mounted onto concrete or brick wall,
use M8 or 5/6 loxins or dynabolts. If mounted onto
wooden lintel or beam, use wood screws #20 or
equivalent, minimum 50mm long. Attach the wall bracket
to the c- assembly with 90mm long clevis pin (Fig. 19) and
secure by snap pin.
MOUNTING DOOR BRACKET AND ARMS
STEP 13
The door bracket comes in two parts. The bottom plate
with two mounting holes is used on its own for any one
piece doors. The top plate is placed over the bottom plate
and uses 4 mounting holes for extra strength. This is used
on sectional doors. (See Fig. 20).
Mount the door bracket to the centre line of the door
(Fig. 20), using M6 or equivalent screws (not supplied)
Alternatively it can be welded on steel doors.
Note: As various types of doors exist, if in doubt about the
strength of the door, reinforcement may need to be added
to the frame of the door panel where necessary. Damage
to the door panel may occur if the bracket is installed
incorrectly on a panel with insufficient strength. The door
opener warranty does not cover damage caused by the
opener to the door and/or door panel.
STEP 14
Assemble bent and straight arm with screws, plain and
spring washer and nuts supplied in accessory pack. (Fig.
21) Then connect assembled arm to the door bracket and
the trolley by clevis pin and snap pin. Trolley must be in
disengage position. Always use both the bent and straight
arm.
If installing on a door with bad wave action, lengthening
the arm even further will assist the door operation by
reducing the wave action.

STEP 17
SAFETY OBSTRUCTION TEST
Please take care when testing the Safety Obstruction
Force. Excessive force may cause SERIOUS PERSON-
AL INJURY and/or PROPERTY DAMAGE can result
from failure to follow this warning.
17.1 TESTING CLOSE CYCLE
1. Open the door by pressing the Yellow Operate button
(Fig. 32).
2. Place a length of timber approximately 50mm high on
the floor directly under the door (Fig. 33).

reaches half the opening distance, grab the bottom
rail of the door firmly, the door should stop.
If the door does not reverse readily when closing, or
stop when opening, the force may be excessive and
need adjusting, refer to STEP 17.4.
IMPORTANT WARNING: If the door is closing and is
unable to re-open when obstructed, discontinue use. Do
not use a door with faulty obstruction sensing. Repair
fault and re-test before using.
ADJUSTING SAFETY OBSTRUCTION FORCE
The Safety Obstruction Force is calculated automatically
and set in memory on the gdo-9 opener. It is
usually not necessary to adjust the Safety Obstruction
Force. The only time the force may need to be
increased is due to environmental conditions, for
example, windy or dusty areas, and areas with
extreme temperature changes.

1. Press and hold the Force Margin Set button (Fig. 32)
2. While holding down the Force Margin button, press
the Plus (+) button. Each press increases the force
margin. The Open Limit LED will flash each time the
Plus button is pressed to indicate an increase in
force. Test the force again as per step 17.1 and 17.2
above. If the Open Limit LED flashes continuously
when the Plus button is being pressed, this indicates
that the maximum force pressure setting has been
reached.
