FEATURES

Your EasyRoller®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.

SECURITY CODE STORE

The EasyRoller Garage Door Opener
uses state of the art technology in
storing your selected transmitter
security code. Up to 27 different
transmitters can be stored in the openers
memory.

To store any code simply press and hold
the Door Code button on the opener and
press the transmitter button twice. Each
or all codes can be deleted and changed
at any time. The codes can also be
stored via the transmitter from a remote
location.

OVER LOAD INDICATOR

When the maximum opening and
closing capacity of the opener is
exceeded the courtesy light will flash
ten times to indicate that an overload
has occurred.

SERVICE INDICATOR

The opener features a service indicator.
When the Overload LED flashes and
the beeper sounds at the start of a door
cycle, this means that the opener and/or
garage door requires service.

AUTO COURTESY LIGHT

The courtesy light on the opener comes
on automatically whenever the door is
activated. The light can also be
switched on and off without operating
the door. This is done by pressing the
button on any hand held or wall
mounted transmitter which has been
stored with the light code. The light will
stay on for approximately three minutes
then switch off. This time is also
adjustable.

CAS (COLOUR ASSISTED
SETTINGS)

To make the installation of the opener
more user friendly Automatic
Technology Australia has developed the
CAS (Colour Assisted Settings) system.
This unique colour coded system (red
for close, green for open) allows for all
the adjustments and settings to be
easier and simpler for the user or
installer to complete the installation

OPEN AND CLOSE DRIVE
BUTTONS

Developed by ATA to aid the
installation of the opener is the Open
and Close Drive Buttons. These buttons
are used to help set the open and close
limit positions. A quicker setting time
and a more precise limit position can be
achieved by using this system.

INITIALISATION

The Reset button on the opener is used
to initialise or re-initialise the
obstruction force settings and door
travel counters. See installation manual
for instructions.

AUTO CLOSE MODE

The opener can be programmed to
automatically close after an open cycle.
The auto close time is adjustable. It is
compulsory to install a Photo Electric
Beam if this mode is selected, otherwise
the door may cause personal injury or
damage to property.

SAFETY AUTO RUN TIME

If the opener does not complete its cycle
within thirty seconds it will
automatically stop if opening, or
reverse to the fully open position if
closing.

PHOTO ELECTRIC BEAM
(OPTIONAL)

The opener has an input for a photo
electric beam to be connected for extra
safety protection and use of the auto
close mode.

MANUAL OPERATION

The opener is equipped with a unique
patented manual disengaging device. If
the power to the opener is disrupted for
any reason the door can be put into
manual mode by pulling down on the
string handle, then releasing. This will
allow you to manually open or close the
door. When power is restored, by
pulling down on the string handle and
releasing, the opener is put back into
automatic mode.

14. 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.

15. 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. 28).

2. While holding the Auto Close Time button, press the Open

button (Fig. 28). 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. 28) 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.

5. Break the path of the P.E. Beam momentarily, this will
initialise the auto close mode. The door will close once the set
auto close time has elapsed.

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.

TROUBLE SHOOTING
