Dominator®GDO-7v2
Overhead Garage Door Opener

4GDO-7v2 Owner Installation Instructions
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 Dominator® 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 GDO-7v2 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 GDO-7v2. 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 18 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 Dominator®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 GDO-7v2 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
Dominator® 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. We recommend that the wall
control be fixed at a hight of at least 1.5 metres
and within sight of the door but away from
moving parts.
Important Safety Instructions

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 Multi-Frequency 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 slightly
different frequencies. Even if two of the three signals are jammed, the system will still work.
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. During installation the handheld transmitter can be programmed to set the
limits positions.
Anti-travel electronic brakes
The GDO-7v2 features an anti-travel electronic brake mechanism to ensure the opener stops the door at
exact location
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 at least once a month.
See installation manual for instructions.
Overload indicator
When the maximum opening and closing capacity of the GDO-7v2 is exceeded the red and green Limits
LEDs flash alternately to indicate that an overload has occurred.
Features

Owner Installation Instructions Dominator®7
Auto courtesy light
The GDO-7v2 courtesy light comes on automatically whenever the door is activated. The light can also be
switched on and off without operating the door by coding a dedicated button on a TrioCode™ transmitter.
The light will stay on for approximately three minutes then switch off. This time is adjustable.
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 hand held transmitter can be programmed to open the door partially 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.
The door opening position is also programmable.
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 for a P.E. Beam to be connected for extra safety protection and use of the auto-close
mode. We highly recommend that a Photo Electric Beam (P.E. Beam) be installed.
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.
