PA1000 Instruction Manual (Instructions d’installation)6

Thank you for choosing a PA1000 automatic garage door
operator.
The technically advanced construction of this operator
ensures you enjoy the following benets:
Warranty
xxx (x) years / xxxx cycles full parts and labour warranty
on motor, electronics and mechanical components of the
operator when installed by a garage door professional
(conditions such as annual garage door servicing apply).
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.
Warranty Expired Indicator
The operator will indicate that the number of cycles
covered by the warranty has been reached by ashing the
courtesy light 10 times after each operation. This ashing
will continue for 20 cycles unless it is reset by pressing the
SET button while the courtesy light is ashing.
S-ALPS (Semi Automatic Limits Positioning
System)
The S-ALPS system does away with manual adjustment of
the door’s limits position using mechanical parts, such as
cams and microswitches.
Safety Reversing System
The automatic safety reverse system signicantly 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.
Safety Infra-Red Beam Protection
The Safety Beam is the infrared (IR) invisible light beam
system which shall protect the doorway. The door stops
and reverse to the full position if anything passes through
the beam.
Soft Start/Soft Stop
The operator eases into and out of an operating cycle.
This makes operation smoother and quieter and
most importantly reduces wear and tear on the door
and operator.
Courtesy Light
The courtesy light automatically switches on for
approximately three (3) minutes when operating the
door. This can also be programmed to turn on and off
from a transmitter.
Memory Retention
In case of a power failure, the operator 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 operator.
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 operator ‘positively’ locks the door when closed.
Periodic Maintenance Indicator
The SERVICE LED will illuminate to indicate that
periodic maintenance is required. Contact your garage
door professional for service.
Service Fault Indicator
Flashing LEDs on the control panel easily identify
operational problems or service requirements.
Dynamic Door Proling
Changing door characteristics are automatically
compensated for and “learnt” with each operation of
the door.
External Aerial
An external aerial can be connected for sites where
radio reception is a problem.
Vacation Mode
A transmitter can be programmed to disable the
garage door operator radio receiver. This is ideal if the
door is to be left idle for prolonged periods.
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.
Auxiliary Output
You can program a spare button on your transmitter to
operate this output, which can control items that use a
momentary close switching mechanism.

Mounting Operator for a Track Type
Door
Step 4 - Determine Bracket Position
Open the door and nd the highest point of travel of the
top door panel. Using a level, transfer this height to the wall
above the door (Fig 10) and mark a line 0.197” (60mm)
above it.
Determine the centre point on the wall above and on top of
the door. Then draw two lines 0.0705” (21.5mm) on each
side of the centre point (Fig.11).
Step 5 - Mounting the Wall Bracket
The wall bracket should be mounted 0.197” (60mm) above
highest point of the doors travel, 0.0705” (21.5mm) from
the centre point (Fig.11).
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 1.97” (50mm) long).
WARNING: Make sure concrete, brick wall or timber lintels
are solid and sound so as to form a secure mounting
platform.
Step 6 - Attach the C-Rail to the Wall Bracket
When the wall bracket is rmly secured in its proper
position, attach the C-Rail support assembly to wall bracket
with 0.295” (90mm) long clevis pin and secure with
supplied snap pin (Fig.12).
Leave the drive unit in its packing box for protection during
installation.
Step 7 - Securing the Powerhead to the
Ceiling
Raise the drive unit from the packing box and support it
in a horizontal position with a step ladder, then open the
garage door. Rest the operator on the open door and use a
scrap piece of wood to bring it to horizontal level. Line up
the track perpendicular to the wall.
Secure the perforated angle (not supplied) to the ceiling
above where drive unit mounting holes will be once fully
installed (Fig.13).
Connect angle and drive unit with two at perforated strips
of angle (not supplied) with M8 x 20mm screws, and nuts.
Strips should not extend more than 0.059” (18mm) below
centre of drive unit mounting holes (Fig 13).
For an alternative mounting option go to Step 8 Page 15.

in the centre of the C-Rail and driving a bolt through it into
structural timber support. The height of bolt head must not
exceed 0.24” (6mm) (Fig.14).
Mounting door bracket and arms
Step 9 - Mounting Door Bracket
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 (Fig.15).
Mount the door bracket to the centre line of the door, 1/3
panel down (Fig.15) 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 insufcient strength. The door
operator warranty does not cover damage caused by the
operator to the door and/or door panel.
Step 14 - Attaching the Arms
Assemble bent and straight arms (as shown in Fig.16) with
bolts and nuts supplied in accessory pack. 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.
The angle “A“ must not be less than 10 degrees (See Fig.
16).

Adjusting Safety Obstruction Force
The safety obstruction force is calculated automatically and
set in memory on the operator. 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.
WARNING: Safety Beam must be installed if
the closing force as measured at the bottom
edge of the door exceed 200N (20kg).
