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 (P.E.)
Beam. In most countries P.E. Beams are mandatory on all garage doors fitted with automatic openers.
For a small additional outlay Automatic Technology recommends that Photo Electric 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/persons are near the door. Children must be
supervised at all times when the SecuraLift® 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 SecuraLift®. 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 and set as per page 19 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.
Doors requiring over 400N of force to move must have P.E. Beams
installed.
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.
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.
Important Safety Instructions

Owner Installation Instructions GDO-9v2 SecuraLift®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 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 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 SecuraLift® 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.
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.

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 reverse the door’s 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 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 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 initial installation of the
automatic door opener. The door will also stop if restricted whilst opening. The Safety Obstruction
Force should be checked monthly.
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.

Step 13 - Mounting Door Bracket
The door bracket comes in two parts. The bottom plate
with two mounting holes is used on its own for one piece
doors. For sectional doors, the top plate is placed over
the bottom plate and is fixed with four (4) screws (Fig.
19).
Mount the door bracket, or bracket assembly,
on the door’s centre line one-third down the top
panel (Fig. 19) using M6 or equivalent screws (not
supplied),
STEEL DOORS ONLY: Bracket can be welded in
place.
NOTE: If in doubt about the door’s strength,
reinforcement may be added to the door’s frame
where necessary. Door damage may occur if the
bracket is installed on a panel with insufficient
strength. The opener’s warranty does not cover
damage caused to the door and/or door panels.
Step 14 - Attaching the Arms
FOR SECTIONAL AND ONE PIECE DOORS WITH
TRACK:
Assemble the bent and straight arms with bolts
and nuts supplied in the accessory pack (Fig. 20).
Always use both bent and straight arms.
Connect the assembled arm to the bracket and the
disengaged trolley with clevis and snap pins. The
angle “A” must be more than 10° (Fig. 21).
WARNING: Connecting the bent arm other way
around may damage the door. The straight arm
should not protrude beyond heal of bent arm
FOR ONE PIECE DOORS WITHOUT TRACK
Assemble the bent and straight arms as shown
in (Fig. 22) with bolts and nuts supplied in the
accessory pack. Always use both the bent and
straight arms.
Connect the assembled arm to the bracket and the
disengaged trolley with clevis and snap pins.
If installing on a door with a bad wave action,
lengthening the arm will assist in reducing this
effect.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Adjust the length of the
cord so that its toggle is no more than 1.8m from
the ground.

Adjusting Safety Obstruction Force
The Safety Obstruction Force is calculated automatically
during setup. Adjusting this is normally only necessitated
by environmental conditions such as windy or dusty areas,
and areas with extreme temperature changes.
WARNING: Doors requiring over 400N of force to
move must have P.E. Beams fitted for safety.
Step 18.1 - To Increase Force Pressure
Hold down FORCE MARGIN SET button (Fig. 30)
While holding the FORCE MARGIN SET button,
press the PLUS (+) button. Each press increases the
force margin (Fig. 30).
The OPEN LIMIT LED will flash each time the PLUS
(+) button is pressed to indicate a force increase
If the OPEN LIMIT LED flashes continuously
when pressing the PLUS (+) button this
indicates that the maximum setting has
been reached.
Test the force again as per Steps 8.1 and 8.2
Step 18.2 - To Decrease Force Pressure
Hold down FORCE MARGIN SET button (Fig. 30)
While holding the FORCE MARGIN SET button,
press the MINUS (-) button. Each press decreases
the force margin (Fig. 30).
The CLOSE LIMIT LED will flash each time the MINUS
(-) button is pressed to indicate a force decrease

Step 18.4 - To Recalculate Force Margins
Press and hold the SET Button for two (2) seconds,
the beeper will sound once (Fig. 32).
The door will start to move and re-calculate force
margins. The door can move between the open and
close limit positions up to four (4) times (depending
on the position of the door and the power up
condition).
A single beep will be heard once the process is
complete.
Test the force again as per Steps 8.1 and 8.2.
