Instructions GD0 7
GD0 must not be used to power a door that is not efficient and
safe. It cannot solve defects resulting from incorrect installation
or poor maintenance of the door.
WARNING: incorrect installation could cause serious damage.
Before proceeding with the installation you must:
• Make sure that the door movement does not hinder roads or
public footpaths.
• After the motor has been installed, remove unnecessary cables
or chains and turn off any unneeded equipment
• Make sure that the weight and dimensions of the door fall with-
in the specified operating limits (Chapter 3.1.1). If they do not,
GD0 cannot be used.
• Make sure that the structure of the door is suitable for automa-
tion and in compliance with regulations in force.
• Make sure that there are no points of greater friction in the
opening or closing travel of the door.
• Make sure that the mechanical structure of the door is sturdy
enough and that there is no risk of derailing out of the guide.
• Make sure that the door is well balanced: it must not move by
itself when it is placed in any position.
• Make sure that the installation area is compatible with the size
of the gearmotor and that it is safe and easy to release it.
• Make sure that the mounting positions of the various devices
are protected from impacts and that the mounting surfaces are
sufficiently sturdy.
• Make sure that the mounting surfaces of the photocells are flat
and that they enable the proper alignment between TX and RX.
• Make sure that the minimum and maximum clearances speci-
fied in fig. 8 are observed.
• Pay attention in particular to the methods for securing the head
of the guide and the brackets to the ceiling. The head of the guide
will have to bear all the strain of opening and closing the door; the
ceiling-mounted brackets will have to bear all the weight of GD0.
In both cases, the wear and deformations that may occur in time
must be taken into consideration.
• The gearmotor should be mounted so that it coincides with the
centre of the door, or is slightly off-centre, e.g. in order to mount
the OSCILLATING ARM next to the handle (Figure 11).
• Make sure that, in the position corresponding to the door, or
slightly to the side, (see positions “A” and “B”) the conditions are
suitable for mounting the head of the guide; in particular, the
material should be sufficiently sturdy and compact.
Make sure that GD0 can be mounted on the ceiling along position
“C” using the mounting brackets.
If the door to be automated is an overhead type with springs or
counterweights, it will be necessary to install an OSCILLATING
ARM, which must be mounted next to the handle (Figure 11).
• Make sure that distance [E] in Figure 9, i.e. the minimum dis-
tance between the upper side of the guide and the maximum
point reached by the upper edge of the door, is no shorter than 65
mm and no longer than 300 mm, otherwise GD0 cannot be
installed.
If the door closes a room that has no other means of access, we
recommend installation of the EXTERNAL RELEASE KIT, other-
wise a simple power failure will prevent access to the room (fig-
ure 10).
Note: the oscillating arm and external release kit are supplied
with the related assembly instructions.
The installation must be carried out by qualified and skilled per-
sonnel in compliance with the directions provided in chapter 1
“WARNINGS”.

3.1.1 Operating limits
3.1.2 Tools and Materials
Figure 12
Figure 11
Chapter 6 “Technical Characteristics” provides the fundamental data
needed to determine whether all the GD0 components are suitable for
the intended application.
In general GD0 is suitable for the automation of sectional and overhead
doors for residential applications having the following maximum dimensions:
Sectional doors: 240cm max. height - 300cm (7.2m2) max. width - max-
imum torque 55kg.
Overhead garage doors: 240cm max. height - 270cm (6.48m2) max.
width - maximum torque 55kg.
The shape of the door and the climatic conditions (e.g. presence of
strong wind) may reduce this maximum limit. In this case it is necessary
to measure the torque needed to move the door under the worst condi-
tions, and to compare it to the data provided in the technical character-
istics chart for the GD0 gearmotor.
Make sure you have all the tools and materials needed to install
the system; make sure that they are in good condition and serv-
iceable according to current safety standards. See examples in
figure 12.

3.2 Preparing the Electrical System
E
3.2.1 Connection to the Electrical Mains
Although the connection of GD0 to the electrical mains is beyond the
scope of this manual, we wish to remind you that:
• The power supply line must be laid and connected by a qualified
professional electrician.
• Have a suitably protected 16A “schuko” outlet installed, where
you can plug in GD0.
• Make sure that the power supply cable does not hang over mov-
ing parts or hazardous areas.
• The electric line must be grounded and protected against short
circuits; a bipolar disconnection device must also be present with
contact separation of at least 3mm, which allows the power sup-
ply to be disconnected during the installation and maintenance of
the GD0.
With the exception of the plug and the power cable, the rest of the sys-
tem uses extra-low voltage (approx. 24V); the wiring can therefore be
done by personnel that is not properly qualified, provided that all the
instructions in this manual are carefully observed.
After selecting the position of the various devices (refer to figure 13) you
can start preparing the conduits for the electrical cables connecting the
devices to the control unit.
The shock-resistant conduits are designed to protect the electrical
cables and prevent accidental breakage.
Install any fixed control close to the door but away from moving parts and
at a height of 1.5m.
WARNING: the cables used must be suitable for the type of installation; for example, an H03VV-F type cable is recommended for indoor
applications.
Note 1: For the PHOTO, STOP and OPEN cables, there are no special contraindications to the use of a single cable that groups together multiple
connections; for example, the STOP and OPEN inputs can be connected to the KS1 selector switch using a single 4x0.25mm2cable.
Table 5: List of cables
Connection Cable type Maximum length allowed
[A] STOP input 2x0.25mm2cable 20m (note 1)
[B] OPEN input 2x0.25mm2cable 20m (note 1)
[C] PHOTO input TX 2x0.25mm2cable

3.5 Initial checks
As soon as the control unit is energized, you should check the following:
1Make sure that the LED [A] flashes regularly, with about one flash per
second.
2If the system is equipped with the PH0 photocells, make sure that the
SAFE LED [B] shown in figure 59 flashes (on both TX and RX). The type
of flashing is irrelevant, it depends on other factors; what matters is that
it is not always off or always on.
3If the system is equipped with the KS1 key-operated selector switch,
make sure that the night light [C] is on.
4If the above conditions are not satisfied, you should immediately switch
off the power supply to the control unit and check the cable connections
more carefully. For more useful information see also chapters 5.5 “Trou-
bleshooting” and 5.6 “Diagnostics and Signals”.

Terminals Functions Description
1-2 Aerial radio receiver aerial connection input. The FL1 has a built-in aerial, alternatively an external aerial can be used or the small
piece of wire that is already connected to the terminal can be left, which acts as an aerial.
3-4 OPEN input for manoeuvre control devices; “Normally Open” type contacts can be connected.
5-6 STOP
input for the devices which block or eventually stop the manoeuvre in progress. Contacts like “Normally Closed”, “Normally
Open” or constant resistance devices can be connected using special procedures on the input. Additional information on
STOP can be found in paragraph “5.3.2 STOP input”.
3-7 PHOTO
Input for safety devices such as PH0 photocells. Cut-in during closure, inverting the manoeuvre.
“Normally Closed” contacts can be connected. The PHOTO input is factory set short-circuited by means of a jumper
between inputs 3 and 7 of the terminal. Additional information on PHOTO can be found in paragraph “3.3.4 PH0 Photo-
cells (optional)”.
6-8 Phototest
All safety devices are controlled each time a manoeuvre is performed and the manoeuvre is only performed if the test has a
positive outcome. This is possible by means of a special connection; the “TX” photocell transmitters are powered separate-
ly in respect to the “RX” receivers. Additional information on connections can be found in paragraph “5.3.1 Phototest out-
put”.
9-10 Flashing light An FL1 flashing light with a 12V 21W car bulb can be connected to this output. During the manoeuvre the unit flashes at
intervals of 0.5 s.

Instructions GD0 17
The opening and closing positions of the door must be recognised by the
control unit. In this phase, the door stroke from the mechanical closing
stop to the mechanical opening stop is detected. In addition to the posi-
tions, the STOP input configuration and the presence or non-presence of
the PHOTO input “Phototest” mode connection are also detected and
memorised in this phase.
1Make sure that the carriage is attached.
2Press key P3 [A] on the control unit and hold it down for at least three
seconds, then release the key (Figure 61).
• Wait until the control unit has completed the recognition stage: closing,
opening and re-closing of the door.
• If any device is triggered during the recognition stage, or the P3 key is
pressed, the recognition stage will be immediately interrupted. In this
case it must be repeated from the beginning.
• During the recognition stage the courtesy light will flash just like the
flashing light.
3An error has occurred if the LEDs P2 and P3 [B] are flashing at the end
of the recognition stage. See paragraph 5.5 “Troubleshooting”.
4Press button 1 of the “TX4” transmitter to perform a complete opening
manoeuvre. Then push it again to perform a complete closing manoeu-
vre. The control unit memorises the necessary force throughout the trav-
el during these two manoeuvres.
It is important that these two first manoeuvres are not interrupted by any
commands. If the manoeuvres are not completed, repeat the recognition
procedure starting from step 1.
The position recognition stage can be repeated at any time in the future
(for instance, if one of the mechanical stops is moved); just repeat start-
ing from step 1.
WARNING: if the belt is not tightened properly, during the search
for the positions it may slip on the pinion. If this happens, stop the
leaning procedure by pressing key P3 and stretch the belt by
tightening the nut [D]. Then repeat the recognition procedure
starting from step 1.

3.6.1 Selecting door speed
The door can be opened and closed at two speeds: “slow” or “fast”.
To switch from one speed to the other press the P2 button [B] momen-
tarily; the corresponding P2 LED [A] will light up or go off; if the LED is off
the speed is “slow”, if the LED is on the speed is “fast”.

The opening and closing of the door can take place according to differ-
ent operating cycles:
• single cycle (semiautomatic): the door opens with a command and
stays open until the next command is given, causing it to close.
• complete cycle (automatic closing): the door opens with a command
and then closes automatically after a short time (for the time, see para-
graph 5.1.1 “Adjusting the parameters with the radio transmitter”).
To switch from one operating cycle to the other, press the P3 button [B]
momentarily; the corresponding LED P3 [A] will light up or go off; if the
LED is off the cycle is “single”, if the LED is on the cycle is “complete”.

3.7 Testing and Commissioning
These are the most important operations, designed to guarantee the
maximum safety and reliability of the automation system.
The testing procedure can also be used as a periodic check of the
devices that make up the automation.
The testing and commissioning operations must be performed by
qualified and experienced personnel who must establish what
tests should be conducted based on the risks involved, and veri-
fy the compliance of the system with applicable regulations, leg-
islation and standards, in particular with all the provisions of EN
standard 12445 which establishes the test methods for sectional
and overhead door automation systems.
3.6.2 Selecting the type of operating cycle

1 Make sure that the provisions contained in chapter 1 “WARN-
INGS” have been carefully observed.
2Using the selector switch (if provided) or the radio transmitter, test the
opening and closing of the door and make sure that the door moves in
the intended direction.
The test should be carried out a number of times to make sure that the
door moves smoothly, that there are no points of excessive friction and
that there are no defects in the assembly or adjustments.
3Check the proper operation of all the safety devices, one by one (pho-
tocells, sensitive edges, etc.). In particular, each time a device is activat-
ed the “ECSBus” LED on the control unit flashes for a longer time, con-
firming that the control unit recognizes the event.
4To check the photocells (if provided) pass a 5 cm diameter, 30 cm long
cylinder on the optical axis, first near TX, then near RX and finally at the
mid-point between them and make sure that in all these cases the device
is triggered, switching from the active to the alarm status and vice-versa;
finally, that it causes the intended action in the control unit, for example
that it causes the reversal of the movement during the closing manoeu-
vre.
5Measure the impact force according to EN standard 12445. If “motor
force” control is used to assist the system for the reduction of the impact
force, try to find the adjustment that gives the best results.
6Ensure that the entire mechanism is correctly adjusted and that the
automation system inverts the manoeuvre when the door collides with a
50 mm high object on the floor.
7Ensure that the automation prevents or blocks the opening manoeuvre
when the door is loaded with a mass of 20 Kg, fixed in the middle of the
doors lower edge.

4.1 Dismantling and Disposal
GD0 is constructed of various types of materials, some of which can be
recycled (aluminium, plastic, electric cables), while others must be dis-
posed of (electronic boards).
WARNING: some electronic components may contain polluting
substances; do not pollute the environment. Enquire about the
recycling or disposal systems available for GD0 in compliance
regulations locally in force.
1Disconnect the system from the electrical mains by pulling the plug.
2Disassemble all the devices and accessories, following in reverse order
the procedures described in chapter 3 “Installation”.
3Remove the batteries from the radio transmitters.
4Remove the electronic boards.
5Sort the various electrical and recyclable materials and consign them
to licensed firms for recovery and disposal.
6Consign the remaining materials to authorized scrap collection centres.
The maintenance operations must be performed in strict compli-
ance with the safety directions provided in this manual and
according to the applicable legislation and standards.
The devices used for the GD0 automation system do not require any
special maintenance. However, periodically make sure (at least once
every six months) that all the devices are perfectly efficient.
To this end, carry out all the tests and checks described in paragraph
3.7.1 “Testing” and the operations described in paragraph 7.3.3 “Main-
tenance Operations to Be Performed by the User”.
If other devices are present, follow the directions provided in the corre-
sponding maintenance schedule.
4 Maintenance
3.7.2 Commissioning
The commissioning operations can be performed only after all the
tests have been successfully carried out. Partial commissioning
or implementation of “temporary” conditions are not permitted.
1Prepare the technical documentation for the automation, which must
include at least: assembly drawing (e.g. figure 1), wiring diagram (e.g. fig-
ure 56), analysis of hazards and solutions adopted, manufacturer’s dec-
laration of conformity of all the devices installed. For GD0 use Annexe 1
“EC Declaration of Conformity of the GD0 components”
2Post a label on the door providing at least the following data: type of
automation, name and address of manufacturer (person responsible for the
“commissioning”), serial number, year of manufacture and “CE” marking.
3Fill out the declaration of conformity and deliver it to the owner of the
automation system; for this purpose you can use Annexe 2 “EC Decla-
ration of Conformity”.
4Prepare the operating guide and deliver it to the owner of the automa-
tion system; Annexe 3 “OPERATING GUIDE” can be used as an exam-
ple.
5Prepare the maintenance schedule and deliver it to the owner of the
automation system; it must provide directions regarding the maintenance
of all the automation devices.
6Post a permanent label or sign detailing the operations for the release
and manual manoeuvre (use the figures in Annex 3 “Operating guide”).
7Before commissioning the automation system inform the owner
regarding dangers and hazards that are still existing.
8Post a permanent label or sign with this image on the door (minimum
height 60 mm) with inscription WARNING – RISK OF CRUSHING.

20 Instructions GD0
The parameter adjustment operation can be performed using a radio
transmitter, provided it is memorized in mode 1 like the one supplied. If
no transmitter memorized in Mode 1 is available, you can memorize one
just for this phase and delete it immediately afterwards (see paragraph
5.4.1 “Mode 1 memorization” and paragraph 5.4.4 “Deleting a radio
transmitter”).
WARNING: when using the transmitter to make adjustments you need
to give the control unit time to recognize the radio command; this means
that the buttons must be pressed and released slowly, held down for at
least one second, then released for one second and so on.
1Press buttons T1 and T2 on the radio transmitter simultaneously for at
least 5s.
2Release the two buttons.
3Within 3 seconds, perform the action described in Table 7 based on
the parameter to be modified.
Example: to set the pause time at 60 s.
1st Press buttons T1 and T2 and hold them down for at least 5s
2nd Release T1 and T2
3th Press button T1 three times
All the parameters can be adjusted as required without any contraindi-
cation; only the adjustment of the “motor force” requires special care:
• Do not use high force values to compensate for points of abnormal fric-
tion on the door. Excessive force can compromise the operation of the
safety system or damage the door.
• If the “motor force” control is used to assist the impact force reduction
system, measure the force again after each adjustment in compliance
with EN standard 12445.
• The weather conditions may affect the movement of the door, therefore
periodic re-adjustments may be necessary.

5.1 Advanced Adjustments
5.1.1 Adjusting the Parameters with the Radio Transmitter
The radio transmitter can be used to adjust certain control unit operation
parameters: there are four parameters and each of them can have four
different values:
1) Pause time: time during which the door remains open (in the automatic
closing mode).
2) “OPEN” function: sequence of movements associated to each
“OPEN” command.
3) Motor force: maximum force beyond which the control unit recognizes
an obstacle and reverses the movement.

Pause time
1° 15s Press button T1 once
2° 30s (*) Press button T1 twice
3° 60s Press button T1 three times
(*) Original factory setting
With a radio transmitter memorized in Mode 1 you can check the values
set for each parameter at any time by following the sequence described
below:
1 Press buttons T1 and T2 on the radio transmitter simultaneously for at
least 5s.
2 Release the two buttons.
3 Within 3 seconds, perform the action described in Table 8 based on
the parameter to be checked.
4 Release the button when the flashing light starts flashing.
5 Count the flashes and, based on their number, check the correspon-
ding value in table 7.
Example. If the flashing light flashes three times after you have pressed
T1 and T2 for 5s and then button T1, the pause time is set at 60s.
