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.

Owner Installation Instructions GDO-9v2 SecuraLift®7
SmartSolar™ and Battery Back Up Compatibility (optional)
The opener can be fitted with a SmartSolar™ or Battery Back Up kit for operation in the
event of a power outage, or where mains power access is not available. NOTE: If the
door is the only entrance to the garage, and a battery back up kit is not fitted, a
keyed cable release should be fitted external to the garage.
Vacation mode
A hand held transmitter can be programmed to lock and unlock all other
transmitters that have been programmed into the openers’ memory. The vacation
mode can be used when the door is left idle for long periods of time.
Pet/Pedestrian mode
The transmitter can be programmed to open the door to an adjustable partial
height so that the family pet can enter and exit the garage at any time. You may
also wish to open the door to a height suitable only for pedestrian access.
Auto-close mode
The opener can be programmed to automatically close after an open cycle. The auto-
close time is adjustable. It is compulsory to install a P.E. Beam if this mode is selected,
otherwise the door may cause personal injury or damage to property.
Photo Electric (P.E.) Beam (optional)
The opener has an input to connect a P.E. Beam for extra safety 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 the
door can be put into manual mode by pulling down on the string handle on an angle towards the door. This
allows for manual operation of the door. To re-engage the opener pull the string handle away from the door.
