GD1 and GD10 can be made-up of the devices
shown in Fig. 2 make immediately sure that they
correspond to the contents of the package and
verify the integrity of the devices.
Note: to adapt GD1 and GD10 to local regula-
tions, the contents of the package may vary; an
exact list of the contents is shown on the outside
of the package under the “Mhousekit GD1 con-
tains” and “Mhousekit GD10 contains” heading.
2.3 Description of devices
GD1K and GD10K are electromechanical gearmotors made up of a
24Vdc motor. It features a mechanical release mechanism with cord that
allows you to move the door manually in the event of a power failure. The
gearmotor is fixed to the ceiling with the relative mounting brackets. The
PR1 buffer battery can be used on the GD10 version, which allows some
manoeuvres in the absence of the mains power supply.
The control unit actuates the gearmotors and provides for the control of
the supply of the different components; it features an electronic board
with incorporated radio receiver.
The control unit can actuate the gearmotor with two speeds: “slow” and
“fast”.
The three P1, P2 and P3 buttons [B] and the corresponding LED's are
used to program the control unit.
The yellow button [C] allows the door to be controlled during testing. The
same key will also be operated during daily use, through the incorporat-
ed orange button [D].
To facilitate the electrical connections there are separate terminals for
each device [A], which are removable and colour-coded based on the
function performed. Next to each input terminal there is a LED that sig-
nals its status
The connection to the power supply is very easy: just insert the plug in a
power outlet.

Instructions GD1-GD10 7
The GD1 and GD10 must not be used to power a door that is not
efficient and safe and cannot solve defects resulting from incor-
rect installation or poor maintenance of the door itself.
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, GD
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.
• 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 GD.
In both cases, the wear and deformations that may occur in time
must be taken into consideration.
• Make sure that the minimum and maximum clearances speci-
fied in fig. 8 are observed.
• 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 GD can be mounted on the ceiling along position
“C” using the mounting brackets.
If the door to be automated is an up-and-over type door with
springs or counterweights, it will be necessary to install an GA1
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 100 mm, otherwise GD cannot be
installed.
If the door closes a room that has no other means of access, we
recommend installation of the GU1 EXTERNAL RELEASE KIT,
otherwise a simple power failure will prevent access to the room
(figure 10). Otherwise a fault or, for the GD1 version with buffer
batteries, a simple power failure could prevent access to the
room.
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”.

Figure 11
Chapter 6 “Technical Characteristics” provides the fundamental data
needed to determine whether all the GD1 and GD10 components are
suitable for the intended application.
In general the GD1 and GD10 are suitable for the automation of section-
al and up-and-over doors for residential applications having the values
shown in the table.
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 GD 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.

3.2.1 Connection to the Electrical Mains
Although the connection of GD 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 GD.
• 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 3 mm, which allows the power sup-
ply to be disconnected during the installation and maintenance of
the GD.
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 12) 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 ECSbus, 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 4x0,5mm2cable.
Table 8: List of cables
Connection Cable type Maximum length allowed
[A] STOP input 2x0,5mm2 cable 20m (note 1)
[B] OPEN input 2x0,5mm2 cable 20m (note 1)

2Thread the cables through the slit [C].
3Refer to figure 65 for the electrical extra low voltage connection of the
various devices to the control unit terminals.
• The terminals have the same colour coding as the corresponding
devices; for example, the grey terminal (OPEN) of the control unit must
be connected to the grey terminal (OPEN) of the KS1 selector (optional
accessory).
• For most connections you do not need to observe any polarity; only for
the shielded cable of the aerial incorporated in the FL1 flashing light
(optional accessory). it is necessary to connect the central core and the
shield as shown in figure 65.
• If you are using the flasher's aerial, remove the piece of wire (connect-
ed to the green terminal at the factory) and connect the RG58-type
shielded braiding.

3.4 Power Supply Connection
The connection of the GD control unit to the mains must be made
by a qualified electrician.
To carry out tests, insert the plug for GD in a power outlet; if necessary,
use an extension cord.
Figure 67
3.5 Initial checks
As soon as the control unit is energized, you should check the following:
1 Make sure that the LED [A] flashes regularly, with about one flash per
second.
2If the system is equipped with the PH1 photocells, make sure that the
SAFE LED [B] shown in figure 69 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”.

3.5.1 Recognition of Connected Devices
When you have completed the initial checks, the control unit must rec-
ognize the devices connected to it on the “ECSBus” and “STOP” termi-
nals.
1On the control unit, press the P2 button [C] and hold it down for at
least three seconds, then release the button (Figure 71).
2Wait a few seconds for the control unit to finish recognizing the devices.
3When the recognition procedure is completed, the STOP LED [A] must
remain on, while the P2 LED [B] must go off. If the P2 LED flashes it
means that an error has occurred: see paragraph 5.5 “Troubleshooting”.
The connected devices recognition stage can be repeated again at any
time, even after the installation (for example, if an additional photocell is
installed); just repeat the procedure starting from step 1.
Figure 71

Instructions GD1-GD10 19
After recognizing the devices, the control unit must recognize the door's
open and closed positions. During this stage, the travel of the door from
the closing stop to the opening stop is detected.
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 72).
• Wait until the control unit has completed the learning stage: closing,
opening and re-closing of the door.
• If any device is triggered during the learning stage, or the P3 key is
pressed, the learning stage will be immediately interrupted. In this case it
must be repeated from the beginning.
• During the learning stage the courtesy light will flash just like the flash-
ing light.
3If the P3 LED [B] flashes at the end of the learning stage, it means that
there is an error; see paragraph 5.5 “Troubleshooting”.
4Press the yellow button [C] in figure 73 to execute a complete open-
ing and closing manoeuvre. During these two manoeuvres the control
unit memorizes the force needed at each point along the travel. It is
important that these two first manoeuvres are not interrupted by any
commands.
If the manoeuvres are not completed, repeat the learning procedure
starting from step 1.
The position learning stage can be repeated at any time in the future (for
instance, if one of the mechanical stops is moved); just repeat starting
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 [F]. Then repeat the learning 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”.

3.6.2 Selecting the type of operating cycle
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 up-and-over door automation systems.
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.
5The control of the correct obstacle detection is performed with the
700x300x200mm test parallelepiped with 3 black sides and 3 polished
white or mirrored sides, according to the EN 12445 standard.
6Eseguire la misura della forza d’impatto secondo quanto previsto dal-
la norma EN 12445 ed eventualmente se il controllo della “forza motore”
viene usato come ausilio al sistema per la riduzione della forza di impat-
to, provare e trovare la regolazione che dia i migliori risultati.
7Ensure 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.
8Ensure 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.
