GDO-9 Owner Installation Instructions

CAUTION: If your garage has no pedestrian entrance door, an emergency access device should be installed.

This accessory allows manual operation of the garage door from outside in case of power failure.

For ADDITIONAL SAFETY protection we STRONGLY recommend the fi tting of a Photo Electric (PE)
Beam. In most countries PE Beams are mandatory on all garage doors fi tted with automatic openers.
For a small additional outlay Automatic Technology recommends that Photo Electric Beams be
installed with the automatic opener ensuring additional safety and peace of mind.

DO NOT operate the opener unless the garage door is in full view and free from objects such
as cars and children/people. Make sure that the door has fi nished moving before entering or
leaving the garage.

DO NOT operate the opener when children/people are near the door. Children must
be supervised at all times when the Enduro™ or Dynamo™ is in use. Serious personal

injury and/or property damage can result from failure to follow this warning.

DO NOT allow children to operate the opener. Serious personal injury and/or

property damage can result from failure to follow this warning.

Regularly check to make sure that the Safety Obstruction Force is working
correctly, and is tested and set as per page 20 of this manual. Failure to
follow these instructions could result in serious personal injury and/or
property damage. This test must be repeated at regular intervals and the
necessary adjustments made as required.

Photo Electric beams must be installed if the closing force at the
bottom edge of the door exceeds 400N (40kg).

DO NOT disengage the door opener to manual operation with
children/people or any other objects including motor vehicles
within the doorway.

The door opener is not intended for use by young children
or infi rm persons without adequate supervision. Children
should be supervised to ensure that they do not play
with the remote transmitters or the opener.

Keep hands and loose clothing clear of the door
and door opener at all times.

WARNING: It is vital for the safety of persons to follow all
instructions. Failure to comply with the following Safety
instructions may result in serious personal injury and/or
property damage.

Important Safety Instructions

Owner Installation Instructions GDO-9 5

The unit should be installed so that it is protected from the elements. It should not be exposed to water or rain.

It is not to be immersed in water or sprayed directly by a hose or other device.

The garage door must be well balanced. Sticking or binding doors must be repaired by a qualifi ed garage

door installer prior to installation of the opener.

Frequently examine the installation, in particular cables, springs and mountings for signs of wear, damage

or imbalance. DO NOT use if repair or adjustment is needed since a fault in the installation or an

incorrectly balanced door may cause injury. DO NOT attempt to repair the door yourself as hardware

is under extreme tension.

Remove or disengage all garage door locks and mechanisms prior to installation of the opener.

Connect the opener to a properly earthed general purpose 240V mains power outlet installed

by a qualifi ed electrical contractor.

Disconnect the power cord from mains power before making any repairs or removing

covers. Only experienced service personnel should remove covers from the opener.

When using auto close mode, a photo electric beam must be fi tted correctly and

tested for operation at regular intervals. Extreme caution is recommended when

using auto close mode. All safety rules must be followed.

In order for the opener to sense an object obstructing the door way, some

force must be exerted on the object. As a result the object, door and/or

person may suffer damage or injury.

If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by an

Automatic Technology service agent or suitably qualifi ed person.

Make sure that the door is fully open before driving in or out of the

garage and fully closed before leaving the driveway.

Make sure that remote controls are kept out of reach of

children.

Install the wall switch or wall mounted transmitter in

a location where it is out of reach of children and the

garage door is visible.

GDO-9 Owner Installation Instructions

Operation

To open or close the door simply press a button on a TrioCode™ handheld
transmitter, a wall mounted transmitter, or optional wall switch for two seconds.
During open and close cycles the door can be stopped by pressing the button
again. The next actuation will move the reverse the door’s direction.

TrioCode™ Code Hopping Technology

Every time a TrioCode™ transmitter is used a new security code is randomly
generated from over 4.29 billion possibilities. This greatly enhances the security
of the system and makes “code grabbing” a thing of the past

These transmitters also overcome interference issues by simultaneously sending a
signal over three different frequencies. Even if two of the three signals are jammed,
the system will still work.

ALPS (Automatic Limits Positioning System)

ALPS does away with manual adjustment of the door’s limits position using mechanical
parts, such as cams and microswitches. During installation the hand held transmitter
can be programmed to set the door limits positions.

ISS (intelligent safety obstruction system)

While the door is performing a close cycle, should it hit an obstacle or be restricted in some
manner, it will automatically reverse. The amount of force the door should encounter before
reversing is automatically adjusted by the doors 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 monthly.

Auto courtesy light

The courtesy light comes on automatically for three minutes whenever the door is activated. The light can also
be operated independently of the door by coding a dedicated button on a transmitter.

Features

Thank you for purchasing the Automatic Technology
GDO-9 Overhead Garage Door Opener. Designed
to suit sectional overhead and one piece tilt up
doors, the components and materials used ensure
this opener will provide years of smart, simple
and secure operation. Listed below are some
of the many features:

Owner Installation Instructions GDO-9 7

SmartSolar™ and Battery Backup Compatibility (optional)

The opener can be fi tted with a SmartSolar™ or Battery Backup kit for operation in the

event of a power outage, or where mains power access is not available. NOTE: If the

door is the only entrance to the garage, and a battery backup kit is not fi tted, a

keyed cable release should be fi tted externally to the garage.

Vacation mode

A hand held transmitter can be programmed to lock and unlock all other

transmitters that have been programmed into the openers’ memory. The vacation
mode can be used when the door is left idle for long periods of time.

Pet/Pedestrian mode

The transmitter can be programmed to open the door to an adjustable partial

height so that the family pet can enter and exit the garage at any time. You may

also wish to open the door to a height suitable only for pedestrian access.

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 PE Beam if this mode is selected,

otherwise the door may cause personal injury or damage to property.

Photo Electric (PE) Beam (optional)

The opener has an input to connect a PE Beam for extra safety and use of the Auto-Close

mode.

Manual operation

The opener is equipped with a unique manual disengaging device. If the power to the opener is disrupted, the
door can be put into manual mode by pulling down on the string handle on an angle towards the door. This
allows for manual operation of the door. To re-engage the opener, pull the string handle away from the door.

and/or property damage.

Step 3 - Determine Bracket Position

Open the door and fi nd the highest point of travel of
the top door panel.
Using a level, transfer this height to the wall above
the door (Fig. 10) and mark a line 60mm above it.
Determine the centre point on the wall above and on
top of the door. Draw two lines extending 21.5mm
from each side of the centre point. (Fig. 11)

Step 4 - Mounting the Wall Bracket

Centre the bracket over the intersection of these two
lines. Mark centres for at least two holes (Fig. 11)
and ensure it is into a solid mounting point.
Drill holes into the wall with an appropriate bit.
Secure to the wall using:
IF CONCRETE OR BRICK - 8mm (5/6”) loxins/dynabolts.
IF TIMBER - wood screw #20 or similar (min. 50mm).

WARNING: Make sure concrete, brick wall or
timber lintels are solid and sound so as to form a
secure mounting platform.

Stop the door when it is at its highest point of travel.
Allow 25mm additional height for clearance between
the door and the track (Fig. 16).
Support the Rail in this position and close the door
The height determined in Step 10(b) will be the
height at which to mount the wall bracket.
Centre the bracket along the line determined in Step

8.
Using the bracket as a template, mark a minimum of
two holes and drill with appropriate size bit. For a
more secure fi tting, the wall bracket can be anchored
using more than two holes.
Secure the bracket to the wall using:
IF CONCRETE OR BRICK - 8mm (5/6”) loxins/dynabolts.
IF TIMBER - wood screw #20 or similar (min. 50mm)
Attach the bracket and C-Rail with supplied pins (Fig. 12).

WARNING: Make sure concrete, brick wall or
timber lintels are solid and sound so as to form a
secure mounting platform.

Step 10 - Secure the drive unit to the Ceiling

Secure the perforated angle (not supplied) to the
ceiling above where drive unit’s mounting holes will
be. See (Fig.19) for a representative mounting.
Connect the drive unit to the ceiling mounted
perforated angle with M8x20mm screws and nuts.

Step 11 - Mounting Door Bracket

The door bracket comes in two parts. The bottom plate
with two mounting holes is used on its own for one piece
doors. For sectional doors, the top plate is placed over
the bottom plate and is fi xed with four (4) screws (Fig.

18).

Mount the door bracket, or bracket assembly,
on the door’s centre line one-third down the top
panel (Fig. 18) using M6 or equivalent screws (not
supplied),
STEEL DOORS ONLY: Bracket can be welded in
place.

NOTE: If in doubt about the door’s strength,
reinforcement may be added to the door’s frame
where necessary. Door damage may occur if the
bracket is installed on a panel with insuffi cient
strength. The opener’s warranty does not cover
damage caused to the door and/or door panels.

Step 12 - Attaching the Arms

FOR SECTIONAL AND ONE PIECE DOORS WITH
TRACK:

Assemble the bent arm(connecting to the door)
to the right side of the straight arm (connecting to
the shuttle) with bolts and nuts supplied in the ac­cessory pack (Fig. 19). Always use both bent and
straight arms.
Connect the assembled arm to the bracket and the
disengaged trolley with clevis and snap pins. The
angle “A” must be more than 10° (Fig. 20).

WARNING: Connecting the bent arm the other
way around may damage the door. The straight
arm should not protrude beyond the heel of the
bent arm.

FOR ONE PIECE DOORS WITHOUT TRACK

Assemble the bent and straight arms as shown
in (Fig. 21) with bolts and nuts supplied in the
accessory pack. Always use both the bent and
straight arms.
Connect the assembled arm to the bracket and the
disengaged trolley with clevis and snap pins.
If installing on a door with a bad wave action,
lengthening the arm will assist in reducing this
effect.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Adjust the length of the
cord so that its toggle is no more than 1.8m from
the ground.

PE Beam & Auto-Close

WARNING! Photo electric beams must be installed

if the closing force at the bottom edge of the door
exceeds 400N (40kg) force.

Step 19 - Fitting the PE Beams (optional)

Affi x the PE Beams in a strategic location within the
doorway. We recommend 150mm above the fl oor
level and as close as possible to the door opening,
inside the garage.
Connect the wires from the PE Beam’s wiring
harness to the terminal block (Fig. 39). The wiring
diagram is for Model PE-2 (Order Code 90214).

Make sure to align the beams correctly. Follow the
manual supplied with the PE Beams.

WARNING: When using Auto-Close Mode and PE
Beams, the doorway must be clear of all obstructions
and persons at all times. The location of the beams
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 20 - Setting Up Auto-Close Mode

IMPORTANT NOTICE: It is compulsory to have PE

Beams installed when using Auto-Close mode.

Auto-Close mode is a function that automatically closes
the door a preset time after the PE Beams recognise that
a vehicle has left the garage.

The Auto-Close timer only starts after the PE Beam’s
path is broken the Auto-Close timer has been set. If the
PE Beam’s path is not broken the door will remain open
until the path is broken. If the opener incurs a physical
obstruction (i.e. not from the PE Beams) while closing
the door, it will re-open and not Auto-Close until the PE
Beam’s path is broken again.

Step 20.1 - Setting Auto-Close Time

Hold down the AUTO CLOSE TIME button (Fig. 40).
While holding in the AUTO CLOSE TIME button,
press the PLUS (+) button, - each press will add
one second to the Auto-Close delay.
To decrease the delay time follow Step 20.1(a)
and press the MINUS (-) button - each press will
deduct one second from the Auto-Close delay.
Press the OPERATE button or transmitter to open
the door. When the door is fully opened the
OPEN LIMIT LED will fl ash to indicate that Auto­Close mode is operational.
Break the PE Beam’s path momentarily to
initialise Auto-Close. When the door reaches the
fully opened position, the door will pause for the
set Auto-Close time and then close.

PLEASE NOTE:

Some areas may be prone to excessive radio interference brought on by devices such as cordless telephones,
wireless stereo headphones and baby monitors. It is possible that these devices could cause a degree of
interference such as to greatly reduce the range of the transmitter. In such an instance please contact your
Automatic Technology dealer for an alternative frequency replacement kit. As this is not a warrantable situation
but an environmental issue. Charges may apply for the changeover.

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

GDO-9 Owner Installation Instructions

Maintenance

Whilst your opener does not require any periodic
maintenance, the door that it is fi tted to, does.
Your garage door is a large, heavy, moving object
and should be tested regularly to ensure it is in
good condition. A poorly maintained door could
cause fatal or serious injuries or serious damage to
property.

To ensure a long and trouble free life for your
opener, the following is recommended:

Monthly

Disengage the opener and manually operate
the door: The door must be smooth to operate
by hand. An operating force on the bottom rail
should not exceed 150N (15kg) force.
Each month, check that the opener reverses
when the door contacts a 40mm high object
placed on the fl oor (AS3350).

NOTE: If the door does not operate smoothly, call
your installer.

•

•

Yearly

Automatic Technology suggests you contact your

installer to perform an annual door service.

CAUTION: Frequently examine door,
particularly cables, springs and mountings for
signs of wear, damage or imbalance. Do not
use if repair or adjustment is needed since
a fault in the installation or an incorrectly
balanced door may cause injury. (AS3350)

Adjustments should only be carried out by
experienced persons, as this function can

to the warranty set out above.

20. Any provision of this Warranty that is prohibited or unenforceable

in any jurisdiction is ineffective as to that jurisdiction to the extent

of the prohibition or unenforceability. That does not invalidate

the remaining provisions of this Warranty nor affect the validity or

enforceability of that provision in any other jurisdiction.

21. Products presented for repair may be replaced by refurbished

goods of the same type rather than being repaired. Refurbished

parts may be used to repair the Product.

1. One (1) cycle = one (1) open and one (1) close action of the door.

2. This Warranty is to be read in conjunction with the owner’s copy of

the installation instruction manual.

a way that the user is able to open or close the door manually using
