• 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.
• 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/people are near the door.
Children must be supervised at all times
when the is in use. Serious personal injury
and/or property damage can result from
failure to head this warning.
• DO NOT allow children to operate the
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 and set as per 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. In order for
the 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.
• DO NOT disengage the door opener to
manual operation with children/people or
any other objects including motor vehicles
within the doorway.

FEATURES
Thank you for purchasing the d-forceTM Overhead Garage Door Opener. Designed to
suit sectional overhead and one piece tilt up doors, the components and materials used
ensure this opener will provide years of simple and secure operation. Listed below are
some of the many features:
OPERATION
To open or close the door simply press a button on the hand-held remote transmitter or wall mounted
transmitter. During open and close cycles the door can be stopped by pressing the button again. The
next push of the button will reverse the door’s direction.
CODE HOPPING TECHNOLOGY
Every time a transmitter is used a new security code is randomly generated from millions of possibilities.
This greatly enhances the security of the system and makes “code grabbing” a thing of the past.
ELECTRONIC LIMIT DEVICE
Electronic Limits does away with manual adjustment of the door’s limits position.
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 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 2 minutes whenever the door is activated.
BATTERY BACKUP
The opener is fitted with a 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 backup kit is not fitted, an Emergency Key Release System (E.K.R.) should be fitted externally
to the garage.
MANUAL OPERATION
The opener is equipped with a manual disengaging device. If the power to the opener is disrupted,
the door can be put into manual mode by pulling down on the Manual Release Mechanism string
handle at an angle towards the door. This allows for the manual operation of the door. To re-engage
the opener, pull the string handle away from the door.

Adjust Obstruction Sensing and Force - not recommended
IMPORTANT
Force and Obstruction Sensing
The higher the force is set the less sensitive the motor will be at sensing an obstruction
while the opener is opening or closing the door.
Obstruction sensing should be set at the most sensitive setting to ensure the operating safety of the
door. The force should therefore be set as low as possible, enough for the door to operate smoothly
without stopping during operation.
There are 4 settings for the opening function and 4 settings for the closing function.
NOTE : One Flash indicates the minimum force setting.
•The minimum force setting should always be used, most importantly in the door closing setting.
The “↑”LED indicates the force set for the door in the opening direction.
The “↓”LED indicates the force set for the door in the closing direction.
