PRODUCT FEATURES
Your SecuraLift®Automatic Garage
Door Opener has many features which
you will appreciate. The components
and materials used in this Automatic
Opener are of the latest technology and
highest quality. Listed below are some
of the many features.
OPERATION
To open or close the door simply press
the hand held transmitter, the wall
mounted transmitter, or optional wall
switch for two seconds. During an open
cycle the door can be stopped by
pressing the button while the door is in
motion. If it is interrupted during a close
cycle the door will pause briefly then
return to the fully open position. The
next actuation will move the door in the
opposite direction.
HOPPING CODE
Every time a transmission is made from
the remote transmitter a new security
code is generated at random. The
number of possible code combinations
is over 4.29 billion. This greatly
enhances the security of the system
making code “grabbing” a thing of the
past.
ISS (INTELLIGENT SAFETY
OBSTRUCTION SYSTEM)
The door will automatically reverse
should it encounter an obstacle or be
restricted in some manner while
performing a close cycle. The amount
of force the door should sense before
reversing is automatically adjusted by
the door’s 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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR
INSTALLATION
Warning: Incorrect installation can lead to severe injury.
Follow ALL installation instructions.
CHECK OPERATION OF DOOR
BEFORE BEGINNING THE INSTALLATION OF THE
SECURALIFT®AUTOMATIC OPENER CHECK THE
OPERATION OF THE DOOR.
The door must be well balanced and be in a reasonable
operating condition. You should be able to lift the door
smoothly and with little resistance. It should stay open around
900mm to 1200mm above the floor. The door should not stick
or bind in the guide tracks. The ideal operational effort in
raising or lowering the door should not exceed a force of 10kg
(22 lbs.). Make sure that all door locks are either removed or
disabled and remove unnecessary accessories.
STEP 1
Slide shuttle assembly onto index tube (one piece only) and
insert screwdriver or clevis pin to hold it in place and slide into
support tube assembly. (Fig. 1 & 2). The arrow on shuttle must
point towards the garage Door. To assemble the rest of the
tubes, always slide short insert tube half way into the long tube,
then slide other tube into remaining insert tubes. Continue this
process with remaining tube until desired length is reached.
Insert pipe into pipe support assembly and drive unit and leave
the drive unit in the packaging for protection.
STEP 2
The opener is supplied with a 10 tooth Drive Sprocket on the
drive unit. If the opener is to be fitted to a one piece door without track, exchange the 10 tooth sprocket with a 7 tooth drive
sprocket available as an option from ATA.
IMPORTANT: If using track type door (often referred to as
panel lift or track tilt door) only use a 10 tooth drive sprocket.
If using a one piece door without track use a 7 tooth sprocket.
STEP 3
Attach one end of chain to chain index screw, nearer to drive
unit, using one joint link. (Fig. 3). Proceed to wrap chain
around drive unit sprocket/idler wheel then follow along the
pipe to the idler wheel on the support pipe assembly. Finally,
attach to the other end of the chain index screw.
NOTE: Make certain that the teeth of the drive unit sprocket
are engaged in the chain and that the chain is not twisted. Make
sure that the chain is engaged in the plastic chain idle wheel on
the support pipe assembly.
STEP 4
Remove locating screwdriver from trolley. Disengage trolley
from chain index by swinging lever downward (Fig. 4), then
slide trolley away from chain index along pipe track. Loosen
locking nuts on chain index screws. To tighten chain, turn chain
index in anti-clockwise direction, looking from support pipe
assembly to drive unit. Do not over-tighten chain as it has to sag
6-12mm. Check before locking screw with lock nuts that chain
is not twisted. When the tension is finalised, tighten lock nuts
at both ends of chain index.

STEP 5
Open the door and find the highest point of travel of the top
door panel. Using a level, transfer this height to the wall above
the door (Fig. 8) and mark a line 60mm above it.
Determine the centre point on the wall above and on top of the
door. Then draw two (2) lines 21.5mm on each side of the
centre point. (Fig. 9).
STEP 6
The wall bracket should be mounted 60mm above highest point
of the doors travel, 21.5mm from the centre point. (Fig. 9).
If the wall bracket is mounted onto concrete or brick wall, use
8mm or 5/6 loxins or dynabolts. If mounting onto wooden
lintel or beam, use wood screw #20 or equivalent minimum
50mm long.
WARNING: MAKE SURE CONCRETE, BRICK WALL
OR TIMBER LINTELS ARE SOLID AND SOUND SO AS
TO FORM A SECURE MOUNTING PLATFORM.
STEP 7
When the wall bracket is firmly secured in its proper position,
attach the support pipe assembly to wall bracket with 90mm
long clevis pin and secure with supplied snap pin, (Fig. 10)
leaving drive unit in its packing box for protection during
installation.
STEP 8
Raise the drive unit from the packing box and support it in a
horizontal position with a step ladder, then open the garage
door. Rest the opener on the open door and use a scrap piece of
wood to bring it to horizontal level. Line up the track
perpendicular to the wall.
Secure to the ceiling above drive unit mounting holes, with
perforated angle (not supplied). A representative mounting is
shown. (Fig. 11 & 11a)
Connect angle and drive unit with two flat perforated strips of

centre of drive unit mounting holes. (Fig. 11 & 11a).
Do not lock screws at this stage.
STEP 11
Close the door slowly. The opener pipe/tube will be elevated by
the top edge of the door as it moves. Stop the door when it is at
its highest point of travel. (Fig. 14).
Allow 25mm additional height for clearance between the door
and the track. Support pipe/tube in this position and then close
the door. (Fig. 14) This will be the height to mount the wall
bracket. The top of the door must not touch the tube.
WARNING: THE OPENER MUST BE SECURELY
FASTENED TO A STRUCTURAL SUPPORT OF THE
GARAGE. FAILURE TO FASTEN THE OPERATOR
CORRECTLY WILL LEAD TO POSSIBLE OPENER
FAILURE CAUSING SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY
AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
MOUNTING DOOR BRACKET AND ARMS
11
STEP 12
With the centre point of the door located, mark a line through
the centre of the wall bracket onto the header wall (above the
door). Using the bracket as a template mark a minimum of two
holes and drill with appropriate size bit. If necessary the wall
bracket can be anchored using more than two holes for a more
secure fitting.
If the wall bracket is mounted onto concrete or brick wall, use
M8 or 5/6 loxins or dynabolts. If mounted onto wooden lintel
or beam, use wood screws #20 or equivalent, minimum 50mm
long. Attach the wall bracket to the support pipe assembly with
90mm long clevis pin (Fig. 15) and secure by snap pin.
MOUNTING DOOR BRACKET AND ARMS
STEP 13
The door bracket comes in two parts. The bottom plate with two
mounting holes is used on its own for any one piece doors. The
top plate is placed over the bottom plate and uses 4 mounting
holes for extra strength. This is used on sectional doors. (See
Fig. 16).
Mount the door bracket to the centre line of the door (Fig. 16),
using M6 or equivalent screws (not supplied) Alternatively it
can be welded on steel doors.
Note: As various types of doors exist, if in doubt about the
strength of the door, reinforcement may need to be added to the
frame of the door panel where necessary. Damage to the door
panel may occur if the bracket is installed incorrectly on a panel
with insufficient strength. The door opener warranty does not
cover damage caused by the opener to the door and/or door
panel.
STEP 14
Assemble bent and straight arm with screws, plain and spring
washer and nuts supplied in accessory pack. (Fig. 17) Then
connect assembled arm to the door bracket and the trolley by
clevis pin and snap pin. Trolley must be in disengage
position. Always use both the bent and straight arm.
If installing on a door with bad wave action, lengthening the
arm even further will assist the door operation by reducing the
wave action.

P.E. BEAM AND AUTO CLOSE
16
STEP 21 - FITTING THE SAFETY PHOTO
ELECTRIC BEAM SENSOR (OPTIONAL)
Locate the Photo Electric Beam (P.E.) normally closed contact
type in a strategic location within doorway. We recommend
150mm above the floor level and as close as possible to the
door opening, inside the garage. Remove shunt from P.E
connector (Fig. 28) and connect the plug from the P.E. wiring
harness to P.E. connector (Fig. 29). The wiring diagram is for
Model PHBE (Order Code 90214).
Make sure to align the beams correctly. Follow the manual
supplied with the Photo Electric Beam.
WARNING; When using Auto Close Mode and P.E. beams,
the doorway must be clear of all obstructions and persons
at all times. The location of the beam and manner in which
it is installed might not give safety protection at all times.
Check to make sure that the height of the beam and type
used give maximum protection possible.
STEP 22 - SETTING AUTO CLOSE TIME
IMPORTANT NOTICE: IT IS COMPULSORY TO
INSTALL A PHOTO ELECTRIC BEAM BEFORE USING
THE AUTO CLOSE MODE.
The Auto Close timer will only start after the Photo Electric
Beams (P.E.) path is broken and the auto close time has been
set. If the P.E. path is not broken the door will remain open until
the path is broken. If the door opener incurs an obstruction (not
from the P.E.) while closing the door will re-open and not auto
close until the path of the P.E. beam is broken again.
1. Press and hold the Auto Close Time button (Fig. 30).
2. While holding the Auto Close Time button, press the Open
button (Fig. 30). Each press of this button will add five seconds
to the auto close delay time.
3. To decrease the delay time follow Step 1 and press the Close
button. Each press will deduct five seconds from the auto close
time.
4. Press the O/S/C button (Fig. 30) or transmitter to open the
door. When the door is fully opened the Open Limit green LED
will flash to indicate that the auto close mode is in operation.
Break the path of the P.E. Beam momentarily, the door will
close after the set auto-close time has elapsed.
23. RE-INITIALISING THE OPENER
To re-initialise the opener press and hold the Reset Button
(Fig. 30) until the open limit LED illuminates. The door will
start to move and re-calculate force margins. The initialisation
is complete and the door is ready for use when the door has
completed a full open and close cycle.

DOOR STATUS INDICATORS
Note:
1. The maximum door opening on which the SecuraLift®can be installed is 5100mm wide by 2400mm high. The door must be well
balanced. A person should be able to lift the door up manually with very little effort in case of an emergency.
2. Intermittent operations may occur in areas which experience very strong winds. The strong wind puts extra pressure on the door
and tracks which may in turn trigger the safety obstruction detection system intermittently.
