2.1 – PRODUCT DESCRIPTION AND INTENDED USE
In general, the series of devices that make up this product serve to auto-
mate a garage door for residential applications (fig.1). This type may be
“sectional” or “up-and-over”; up-and-over doors may be projecting (dur-
ing opening the door protrudes outwards) or non-projecting with springs
or counterweights.
In particular, this kit is designed for the automation exclusively of sectional
garage doors. Therefore, to automate an up-and-over door, the special
oscillating arm must be fitted (mod. GA1, not supplied in pack).
Any other use than as specified herein or in environmental condi-
tions other than as stated in STEP 3 is to be considered improper
and is strictly prohibited!
This product (GDX - GDXP - GDXR - GDXPR) comprises an electro-
mechanical gearmotor with a 24 V dc motor, a guide, chain and a drive
carriage. The gearmotor is also equipped with a control unit.
The control unit comprises an electronic board, a courtesy/indicator light
and a built-in radio receiver, plus an aerial, which receives the commands
sent by a transmitter.
The control unit can control different types of manoeuvres, each program-
mable and usable according to specific requirements.
Special functions are also available to enable personalisation of automa-
tion operation.
The automation is designed for use with various accessories which
enhance functionality and guarantee optimal safety. More specifically, the
control unit can memorise up to 150 keys of transmitters mod. TX4 and
up to 4 pairs of photocells, mod. PH0.
The product is mains-powered, and, in the event of a power failure
enables manual movement of the door, by release of the drive carriage
using a special cord or by means of a release mechanism located exter-
nally (mod. GU1, not supplied in pack).

STEP 3
PRELIMINARY INSTALLATION WORK
Before proceeding with installation, check the condition of the product
components, suitability of the selected model and conditions of the
intended installation environment.
IMPORTANT – The gearmotor cannot be used to power a door
that is not fully efficient and safe. Neither can it solve defects
caused by poor installation or insufficient maintenance of the
door itself.
3.1 – CHECKING SUITABILITY OF THE ENVIRONMENT
AND THE DOOR TO BE AUTOMATED
• In the case of automating a projecting up-and-over door, ensure that
movement does not obstruct public roads or pavements.
• Ensure that the mechanical structure of the door is suitable for automa-
tion and complies with local standards.
• Check stability of the mechanical structure of the door, ensuring that
there is no risk of guides coming out of their seats.
• Move the door manually to open and close, checking that movement
has the same degree of friction throughout all points of travel (no increase
in friction must occur).
• Ensure that the door is correctly balanced: in other words, if left station-
ary (manually) it must not move from any position.
• Ensure that the space around the automation enables safe and easy
manual release.
• Ensure that the selected surfaces for installation of the various devices
are solid and guarantee a stable fixture.
• Ensure that all devices to be installed are in a sheltered location and pro-
tected against the risk of accidental impact.
• Ensure that the selected surfaces for fixing the photocells are flat and
enable correct alignment between photocells.
3.2 – CHECKING PRODUCT APPLICATION LIMITS
To ascertain suitability of the product with respect to the specific features
of the door and area to be automated, the following checks should be
performed as well as a check for compliance of the technical data in this
paragraph and the chapter “Product technical specifications”.
• Ensure that the dimensions and weight of the door are within the follow-
ing limits of use:

Note – The shape of the door and weather conditions, such as the pres-
ence of strong winds, can reduce the above maximum values. In these
cases it is important to measure the force required to move the door in the
worst conditions and compare these with the technical specifications of
the gearmotor.
• Ensure that the area for mounting the gearmotor and guide is compati-
ble with the overall dimensions of the automation to be installed. Then
ensure that the minimum and maximum clearances can be observed as
shown in fig. 3, 4 and 5.
Caution! – If the results of these checks do not conform to spec-
ifications, this model cannot be used to automate your door.

als required for the work concerned (see example in fig. 9); also ensure
that all items are in good condition and comply with local safety stan-
dards.
4.1.5 – Preliminary set-up work
Dig the routes for the ducting used for electrical cables, or alternatively
external ducting can be laid, after which the pipelines can be embedded
in concrete and other preparation work for the installation can be com-
pleted to finalise the site ready for subsequent installation operations.
CAUTION! – Position the ends of the ducting used for electrical
cables in the vicinity of the points envisaged for fixture of the various
components.
Notes:
• The ducting serves to protect electrical cables and prevent accidental
damage in the event of impact.
• The “fixed” control devices must be visible from the door but positioned
far from moving parts and at a minimum height of 150 mm.
4.2 – LAYING THE ELECTRIC CABLES
With the exception of the system connection to the mains by means of
the plug and socket, the rest of the system runs on very low voltage
(approx. 24 V) and therefore laying of electric cables may be performed by
personnel with standard skills, provided that all instructions in this manual
are strictly observed.
For laying electric cables, refer to fig. 10 specifying the type of cable to be
used for each connection.
WARNINGS:
– While laying the electrical cables, do NOT make any electrical con-
nections.
– Arrange for a qualified electrician to install a Shuko 16 A socket,
suitably protected, for insertion of the gearmotor power plug. The
socket must be positioned so that after connection of the power
cable plug, the cable does not hang in the vicinity of mobile parts or
hazardous areas.

12.CAUTION! – If the door is up-and-over, use the drive rod sup-
plied with the oscillating arm for this operation.
Before fitting the drive rod, cut this to a length that ensures obser-
vance of recommended distance E shown in fig. 3. Then use screws
and nuts to secure one end of the drive rod to the bracket (the one to
be fixed to the door or oscillating arm) and the other end to the car-
riage (fig. 22).
FOR UP-AND-OVER DOORS ONLY
If the door to be automated is “up-and-over” (projecting or non-
projecting - fig. 1), the oscillating arm mod. GA1 must be fitted
(fig. 21). Then proceed with assembly of the various arm compo-
nents. IMPORTANT – Take care to move the arm as close as
possible to the handle of the door.
For assembly of the drive rod, refer to point 12.
Note – for assembly of the accessory, follow the instructions sup-
plied in the pack.
10.Tension the chain by tightening the nut on the screw of the drive

knob is positioned at a maximum height of 180 cm from the ground.
14.• If the door is SECTIONAL: establish the length of distance Bcon-
sidering the constraints of values Aand E (fig. 24-a).
• If the door is UP-AND-OVER: establish the length of distance B
considering the constraints of value F(fig. 24-b).
Note – If values A, E or F allow, the automation can also be fixed
directly onto the ceiling (minimum 4 mm).
15.Fold the two ceiling mounting brackets to an “L” and mount in the
vicinity of the gearmotor, by means of screws and nuts (fig. 25).
Note – choose the most suitable hole on the brackets to observe
distance Bselected in point 14.
IMPORTANT! – Perform the operations below the door CLOSED.
5.2 – INSTALLING THE BUFFER
BATTERIES mod. ME
The buffer batteries are self-charging with a voltage of 12V and power of
0,8 Ah. These are particularly useful in the event of a sudden power failure.
The gearmotor enables installation of 2 batteries.
In general, when charged, the batteries guarantee an autonomy of
approx. 6 - 7 consecutive movement cycles (1 cycle = opening -closing)
This value can vary according to the type and weight of door.
To install the buffer batteries, proceed as follows:
01.Remove the screw of the control unit protection cover and remove
the cover (fig. 26).
02.Use a screwdriver to open the two cable routing slots (fig. 27).
03.Insert the battery cables in the cable routing slots (fig. 28) and posi-
tion each battery in the relative seat (fig. 29).
IMPORTANT – The batteries must be installed before mounting
the automation on the ceiling and wall.

05.On the side of the control unit, insert the battery connectors in the
two sockets. CAUTION! – Do not invert polarity: the connector
grippers must face outwards (fig. 30).
On completion of installation, after powering up the system, the batteries
will start to self-charge and will be operative only when fully charged (usu-
ally after 12 hours).
WARNINGS
To guarantee optimal lifetime of the buffer battery, the following warnings should be
observed:
• The buffer battery is an emergency device: Therefore it should only be used mod-
erately in the event of real necessity. Excessive and continuous use can lead to
overheating of the elements, which over time may reduce the normal lifetime of the
battery.
• Never leave the automation powered exclusively by the buffer battery for periods
longer than a day: The elements may overheat excessively and impair lifetime of
the battery.
Therefore, if absent from the installation site of the automation for prolonged peri-
ods, it is recommended to detach the buffer battery terminal connected to the
control unit.
•When the buffer battery is completely discharged, around 24 hours are required to
completely recharge.
• In the event of prolonged periods of disuse, the optional battery should be
removed and stored in a dry location to avoid the risk of leaks of harmful sub-
stances.
–––––––––––––––––––
Battery disposal
CAUTION! – Even if discharged, the batteries can contain pollutant sub-
stances and therefore must never be disposed of in common waste col-
lection points. Dispose of according to separate waste collection methods
as envisaged by current local standards.
CAUTION! - The point below (05 – electrical connection of
the buffer battery to the control unit ) must only be per-
formed after completing all installation and programming
phases, as the battery is an emergency power source.
5.3 – FIXING THE AUTOMATION TO THE WALL,
CEILING, AND DOOR
After assembly of the guide and gearmotor, fix the automation to the wall,
ceiling and door as follows.
01.Using a suitable means of support (ladder, poles or similar) lift the
gearmotor from the ground an position at the required height so that
the guide brackets are placed against the ceiling and wall above the
door (fig. 31). IMPORTANT – (fig. 31-a) align the guide and gearmo-
tor with the vertical axis of the door and perpendicular to the latter
(90° angle). Note – In the case of up-and-over doors, the guide must
be aligned with the oscillating arm.
Also ensure observance of the values A, B, Ein fig. 3 and values B,
F in fig. 4.
02.Check the position of the guide, which must be perfectly horizontal,
and mark the 4 bracket fixture points, after which drill the relative
holes and insert the plugs (fig. 32).
03.Fix the automation to the ceiling and wall using screws and plugs
suited to the support material (fig. 33).
Notes:
• Depending on the type of wall, the bracket at the end of the guide
can be fixed by means of the rivets or screws and plugs.
• Take care when choosing the method of bracket fixture to the ceil-
ing, taking into account the following:
– the bracket at the end of the guide must withstand the force
required to open and close the door;
– the ceiling mounted brackets must withstand the weight of the
gearmotor.
In both cases possible wear and deformation over time must be tak-
en into account.

07.Move the travel limit mechanical stop up against the carriage.
Then tighten the travel limit mechanical stop screw fully down (fig. 37).
Note – During normal operation the carriage stops a few centimetres
before the mechanical stop.
08.To re-block the door, close it manually until it clicks firmly into place.
IMPORTANT
It is recommended to install
the external release kit
(model GU1), if the door
closes an area with no other
access points. In fact, in
this situation, a simple
power failure
may prevent access to the area.
Note – for assembly of the
accessory, follow the instructions
in its pack.

therefore ensure that the specified connections are strictly observed.
01. Use a screwdriver to loosen the screw on the control unit cover and
extract the cover (fig. 38), to access the terminals for electrical con-
nections of the control unit.
02. Use the same screwdriver to open the slots required for routing the
electric cables (fig. 39) from the various devices in the system.
03. Then connect the electric wires of the system devices to the control
unit using the terminal board with five terminals (fig. 39-a).
CAUTION – The section of electric cable connecting terminals 3
and 5 must only be removed if photocell installation is envis-
aged.
For correct connections, proceed as follows:
• To connect a pair of photocells with safety function
One or more pairs of photocells with a safety function must be installed on
the system. If several pairs of photocells are installed, these must be con-
nected in series, and the chain must be connected to terminals 3and 5
on the control unit. The connect the power supply to terminals 2and 3
(see example in fig. 40-a and fig. 40-b).
During the Closing manoeuvre, activation of these photocells causes
shutdown of the manoeuvre and immediate inversion of movement.
• To connect a NO type pushbutton used for manoeuvre control
An “NO” type pushbutton can be installed on the system, i.e. “normally
open” to control manoeuvres in “step-step” mode (for details on this
mode, see STEP 9). Connect this pushbutton to terminals 3and 4on the
control unit.
Note – If several pushbuttons are installed to control manoeuvres, con-
nect these in parallel as shown in the example in fig. 40-c and fig. 40-d.

• To connect safety devices other than photocells
As well as photocells, the system can also be equipped with other safety
devices with different types of contact. These are:
– devices with “normally open” contact (“NO”);
– devices with “normally closed” contact (“NC”);
– devices with constant resistance 8,2 KΩ.
These devices can be connected to terminals 1and 2on the control unit;
also more than one device can be connected to the same terminals as
described below:
A) – to connect a series of “NO” type devices, use a “parallel” connection
layout as shown the example in fig. 40-e.
B) – to connect a series of “NC” devices, use a connection layout “in
series” as shown in the example in fig. 40-f.
C) – to connect a series of devices with constant resistance 8,2 KΩ, use
a “parallel” connection layout, positioning the resistance (8,2KΩ) on the
last device, as shown in the example in fig. 40-g.
D) – to connect a series of devices with different contact types (“NO”,
“NC” and constant resistance 8,2 KΩ), use a connection layout in series
and in parallel as shown in the example in fig. 40-h.
Note – Only the safety devices with an output with constant resist-
ance 8,2 K
Ω
guarantee safety category 3 against faults according to
the standard EN 954-1.
Activation of these safety devices stops the manoeuvre in progress and a
brief inversion of movement.
• Powering devices other than those specified in this chapter
As well as those mentioned, the system can also be equipped with other
safety devices such as a universal relay receiver. These devices must be
connected to terminals 2and 3on the control unit.
CAUTION! – There is a 24 Vdc power voltage on terminals 2 and 3
with delivery of a current of 100 mA. The total absorbed current of
the various devices connected to these terminals must not exceed
this value.
WARNING – On completion of connections, secure all cables using spe-
cial clamps and refit the cover on the control unit.

POWER SUPPLY CONNECTION
INITIAL START-UP AND ELECTRICAL CONNECTION CHECK
STEP 8
CAUTION! The following operations described in this manual will be
performed on live electrical circuits and therefore manoeuvres may
be hazardous! Therefore proceed with care.
After powering up the control unit (fig. 41) perform the following opera-
tions, checking conformity of results:
• Immediately after start-up, the red led (fig. 42) flashes quickly for a few
seconds, after which the red and green leds light up alternately; then the
green led turns off and the red led continues flashing at regular intervals
every second (= control unit operating status OK).
CAUTION! - If the red led does not flash as described above, dis-
connect the Control unit from the power supply and carefully check
all connections (refer also to the paragraph “What to do if....”).
• If the system is equipped with photocells, check the RX element to
ensure that the led is OFF (= operation OK) or ON (= obstacle present). If
the Led is flashing, this means that the signal is poor and subject to incor-
rect photocell alignment.
• If the system is equipped with a radio control keypad, check operation
with reference to the relative instruction manual.
STEP 7
WARNINGS!
– The PVC power cable supplied is suitable for indoor installa-
tions.
The final connection of the automation to the electrical mains,
must be performed by a qualified electrician, in compliance
with local standards and the instructions in the section “Tasks
reserved for qualified technicians”.
To perform the automation operation and programming tests, insert the
power plug of the control unit (supplied) in a mains socket (fig. 41). If
the socket is far from the automation, use a suitable extension lead.

STEP 9
WARNINGS for programming:
• Always read the procedure first and then perform the operations in the
correct sequence. without leaving more than 10 seconds between releas-
ing one key and pressing the next.
• In this manual the transmitter keys are identified by means of numbers.
To check the correspondence of numbers and the transmitter keys see
fig. 43.
9.1 – MEMORISATION OF TRANSMITTER MOD. TX4
To enable control of the automation with the transmitter, the keys must be
memorised in the control unit memory.
Memorisation enables the association of each key with the required com-
mand, selecting from the following:
1= Step-Step: Corresponds to the sequence ... Open - Stop – Close -
Stop ... The first command activates Opening; the next, with the leaf mov-
ing, activates Stop; the third activates Closure; the fourth with the door
moving activates Stop and so on…
2= Step-Open: Corresponds to the sequence ... Open - Stop – Close
- Open ... The first command activates Opening; the next, with the leaf
moving, activates Stop; the third activates Closure; the fourth with the
door moving activates Open and so on...
3= Partial open: corresponds to a brief opening of the door. This com-
mand is only enabled if the door is completely closed.
4= Courtesy light: ... On - Off - On ...
A single procedure memorises a single key of the transmitter; this can be
memorised both on the present control unit and on control units of other
automations. The control unit memory can memorise up to 150 keys.
For each key to be memorised, repeat the following procedure.
01. Select which transmitter key is to be memorised (for example: Key T3).
02. Decide on the command (from those listed below) to be associated
with the selected key (for example: Command “2”).
03. Press “P1” (on the Control unit) the same number of times as the
selected command number (in the example “2”, i.e. twice) and check
that the green led emits the same number of quick flashes (repeated
at regular intervals).
04. (within 10 seconds) Press and hold the transmitter key to be memo-
rised for at least 2 seconds (in the example, key T3).
If the memorisation procedure is successful, the green led emits 3 long
flashes (= memorisation OK). Note – Before the 10 second interval elaps-
es, the key of a NEW transmitter with the same command can be memo-
rised (useful, for example, when several transmitters need to be memo-
rised on the same control unit).
Otherwise wait until the green led turns off (= procedure completed) and
for the red led to resume flashing at regular intervals.
9.2 – MEMORISING THE DOOR “OPENING” AND
“CLOSING” TRAVEL LIMIT POSITIONS
The “Closing” limit position corresponds to the maximum door closing
position and the “Opening” limit to maximum opening (fig. 44).
In this installation phase, the control unit must memorise the maximum
door “Closing” and “Opening” positions and the configuration of the
STOP input, using the following procedure:
CAUTION! – The following operations must be performed using
exclusively key P1 on the gearmotor control unit.
01. Ensure that the drive carriage is engaged.
02. Press and hold “P1” on the Control unit (for approx. 5 seconds) until
the red light illuminates, then release.
03. At this point the control unit independently starts 3 consecutive
manoeuvres (Closing – Opening – Closing) to automatically memo-
rise the two travel limit positions. Note – During the 3 manoeuvres,
the courtesy light flashes.
Caution!– During the 3 manoeuvres, if a safety devices is acti-
vated or P1 is pressed, the control unit interrupts and automati-
cally cancels the entire procedure. In this case the entire proce-
dure needs to be repeated.
04. Lastly, use the transmitter key T1 activate 3 or 4 complete Opening
and Closing manoeuvres (these manoeuvres are required for the
control unit to memorise the force values required to move the door
at all points of travel).
Caution! – These manoeuvres must not be interrupted; should
this occur, the entire procedure must be repeated.
CAUTION! – During the position search process, if the chain on the
pinion pulley of the motor emits a rhythmic noise, indicating that ten-
sioning is insufficient. In this case, interrupt the procedure by press-
ing “P1” on the control unit: then tension the chain by tightening nut
D(fig. 4) and repeat the procedure from the beginning.
This procedure can be repeated at any time: for example after a mechan-
ical travel stop has been moved on the guide.

The control unit has a number of optional functions to enable the user to
add specific functionalities to the automation, thus personalising the prod-
uct according to special needs.
10 – AUTOMATION OPERATION ADJUSTMENT
To personalise operation of the automation, a number of functions can be
enabled or disabled, also with the option for modifications to settings as
required. The functions are:
• AUTOMATIC CLOSURE. When this function is enabled, at the end of
the Opening manoeuvre command by the user, the control unit automati-
cally closes the door again after a set time interval.
• MOVEMENT SPEED. This function enables entry of the required speed
of the automation implemented to move the door.
• SENSITIVITY TO OBSTACLES. During a manoeuvre, if an obstacle
accidentally stops door movement (a gust of wind, a vehicle, person etc.)
this function promptly detects the increase in motor stress to contract the
obstacle and activates immediate and brief inversion of movement.
• PRESSURE DISCHARGE. At the end of the Closing manoeuvre, after
the door has closed completely, the motor continues to “push” the door
for a brief interval, to ensure perfect closure. Immediately afterwards, this
function activates a very brief inversion of movement, to reduce excessive
pressure exerted by the motor on the door.
The values of these functions can be set according to personal require-
ments using the following procedure with a transmitter that has at least
one key already memorised on the control unit.
Note – During this procedure, each time a key is pressed the courtesy
light illuminates briefly.
01. Press and hold the keys “T1” and “T2” simultaneously on the trans-
mitter for at least 5 seconds, after which release.
The two leds (green and red) on the Control unit flash to indicate entry
to function programming mode (the leds continue to flash throughout
the procedure).
02. Press and hold a transmitter key (already memorised on that of the
control unit) for at least 1 second (the green Led emits one flash).
03. Then select one of the four functions available and on the transmitter
press the key associated with the function for at least 1 second (the
green Led emits one flash):
• Automatic closure = (press key “T1”)
• Movement speed = (press key “T2”)
• Sensitivity to obstacles = (press key “T3”)
• Pressure discharge (= press key “T4”)
04. Lastly, refer to Table 4, select the required value in correspondence
with the selected function and on the transmitter press the key asso-
ciated with the selected value for at least 1 second (the green and
red Leds emit one confirmation flash).
Notes to Table 4:
– The Table states the values available for each of the 4 special functions
and the corresponding key to be pressed on the transmitter for selection
of the specific value.
– The factory settings are highlighted in grey.
11 – MEMORISING A NEW TRANSMITTER WITH
PROCEDURE IN THE VICINITY OF THE CONTROL UNIT
[with a transmitter already memorised]
A NEW transmitter can be memorised in the control unit memory without
acting directly on key P1 of the control unit, but by simply working within
its reception range. To use this procedure, an OLD transmitter, previously
memorised and operative, is required. The procedure enables the NEW
transmitter to receive the settings of the OLD version.
Warning – The procedure must be performed within the reception
range of the receiver (maximum 10-20 m from receiver).
01. On the NEW transmitter, press and hold the key to be memorised for
at least 5 seconds and then release.
02. On the OLD transmitter, slowly press the control key to be memo-
rised on the other transmitter 3 times.
03. On the NEW transmitter, press the same key pressed in point 01 once.
Note – Repeat the same procedure for each key to be memorised.
12 – DELETING DATA FROM THE CONTROL UNIT MEMORY
Data in the control unit memory can be deleted partially or totally as
required. To do this, the following procedures can be used, as required:
• Deletion of a command on a transmitter already memorised
• Deletion of other data memorised on the control unit
Deleting a command
on a transmitter already memorised
The following procedure enables deletion of a single command assigned
to a transmitter key from the control unit memory.

Note – During the procedure, the red and green leds remain permanently lit.
01. Press and hold the key “P1” on the Control unit for at least 10 sec-
onds: the green Led illuminates first, then the red led illuminates after
5 seconds and then both, to indicate that the Control unit has entered
memory deletion mode (WARNING!do not release the key P1!).
02. Without releasing key P1 press the transmitter key to be deleted: if
the control unit recognises this operation, the green led emits a short
flash, after which the P1 key and transmitter key can be released.
Deleting other
data memorised on the control unit
The following procedure enables deletion of various types of memorised
data from the control unit memory, as specified in Table 5.
Note – During the procedure, the red and green leds remain permanently lit.
01. Press and hold the key “P1” on the Control unit for at least 10 sec-
onds: the green Led illuminates first, then the red led illuminates after
5 seconds and then both, to indicate that the Control unit has
entered memory deletion mode. Then release the key.
02. With reference to Table 5, select the data to be deleted and press P1
the same number of times as the number of presses specified in
brackets (the green led emits one flash each time the P1 key is
pressed).
03. 5 seconds after the key “P1” is pressed for the last time, if deletion is
successful, both leds (red and green) flash quickly (= memory deleted!).
Note – Before deletion, there is a margin time of 5 seconds, in which
the user has the option to change decision and exit the procedure
without deleting data by pressing key P1 five times.
IMPORTANT! - After deletion of the “Memory of Closing and Opening lim-
it positions” and “TOTAL Memory”, the procedure 9.2 – “Learning the
Closing and Opening limit positions” must be repeated.
TABLE 5
• Memory of Optional Function values (= 1 press)
• Memory of “Closing ” and “Opening” limit positions (= 2 presses)
• Memory of Transmitters (= 3 presses)
• TOTAL memory (= 4 presses) Note – deletes the first three mem-
ories in one process
