Figure 1. System Overview
The tilt sensor sends door
open or closed status to the
garage door controller.
The garage door controller
sends the door status to the
adt pulse system.
The ADT pulse system
displays the door status.
The ADT pulse system
commands the garage door
controller to open or close
the door.
Overview
◊ This is a Security enabled Z-Wave product and must be used with a Security enabled
Z-Wave controller in order to fully utilize this product. As such, this device will not respond
to Basic CC commands.
◊ The GD00Z-8-ADT is a garage door opener remote command transceiver with built-in
Z-Wave® technology.
◊ Allows remote operation of a garage door opener using the ADT Pulse touch screen, web
portal, or mobile app.
◊ Z-Wave is an Interoperable two-way RF mesh networking technology designed for use
with a Z-Wave gateway/controller and other Z-Wave enabled devices from different
manufacturers.
◊ Acts as a Z-Wave repeater to improve communications within the Z-Wave mesh network.
◊ ASSOCIATION: The GD00Z-8-ADT supports 1 Group with 1 Node. Group 1 must be
assigned the Node ID of the controller to which unsolicited notications from the Controller
will be sent. The ADT Pulse should set this association automatically after inclusion.
◊ NOTIFICATION: The GD00Z-8-ADT supports the following notication types and events:
Access Control (Type 0x06) with events 0x44 (HW failure), 0x45 (UL Lockout), 0x46
(Obstruction), 0x49 (Loss of Tilt Sensor) and 0x4A (Sensor Low Battery). And additional
type, Home Security (0x07) is also supported with event 0x03 (Tilt Sensor Tampered).
◊ Security 2 DSK label can be found on the bottom side of the product.
Summary of Operation
◊ Controller connects to the garage door opener’s pushbutton wall console terminals.
◊ A wireless tilt sensor mounts on the garage door and reports the door’s position to the
Controller.
◊ GD00Z-8-ADT responds to Z-Wave commands from ADT Pulse to open or close the garage
door.
◊ A warning indicator light ashes and a beeper sounds for 5 seconds before the door
begins to move.
◊ If the door does not completely open or close, a second open or close command can be
sent after 30 seconds.
◊ If the door does not completely open or close after the second attempt, the Controller
operation is suspended until a local garage door pushbutton is activated.

The Garage Controller System
The GD00Z-8-ADT System consists of three major components:
• The Controller — The Controller wires to the garage door opener’s pushbutton terminals,
receives door status from the tilt sensor, and communicates with the ADT Pulse system.
• The Tilt Sensor — The battery powered Tilt Sensor monitors the position of the garage door and
sends the status to the Controller.
• The Power Supply — The Power Supply provides low voltage power to the Controller.

garage door opener before continuing.
The Garage Door Controller can be screw mounted directly, or by using the supplied adjustable
mounting bracket.
1. Use the four anchors and screws to directly mount the Controller (use a 3/16” drill for the screw
anchors, if the anchors are used).
- OR -
1. Snap the adjustable mounting bracket onto the Controller and secure it with the short screw.
2. Use the bolts and nuts supplied to attach the mounting bracket to available hardware.

Operation Notes
Indications and Operation Notes
◊ The warning light will ash and the warning beeper will sound for ve seconds before
the door opener is activated. STAY CLEAR OF THE DOOR, AND DOOR OPENER. THEY ARE
ABOUT TO MOVE!
◊ If the door does not completely open or close after remote activation, the Controller
will allow user to try to operate the door one more time. If the second attempt fails, the
Controller will go into lock-out mode. See next paragraph.
◊ If the GD00Z-8-ADT is in lock-out mode and will not accept remote commands, activate
the door from the pushbutton wall console.
◊ Once the Controller has initiated the movement of the garage door, another command
cannot be sent for 30 seconds. This eliminates the chance of “bouncing” the garage door
and possibly damaging the garage door opener.
