3 Only install the RDO on a properly balanced and aligned, well functioning Garage Door. An

improperly balanced or malfunctioning Garage Door could cause serious injury. Have a
qualified person check and if required, make repairs to your Garage Door installing the
RDO. As a general rule,your Garage Door is deemed to be well balanced and aligned ifit

a. requires an equivalentamount of applied force to manually openor close and,
b. requiresno more than150N of applied force to either manuallyopen or closeand,
c. does not rise orfall more than100mm when stopped at any position betweenfully open or

fully closed positionsand,

d. doesnot rub onor make contact with any supporting orsurrounding structures.

4. Repairs to Garage Doors must only be carried out by technically qualified persons. Attempting
to repair the Garage Door without suitable technical qualification may result in severe personal
injury, death and/or propertydamage.

5. Remove or renderinoperative all existing locks and ropes priorto installation ofthe RDO.

6 The counter balance springs on sectional type doors be properly lubricated between all of

the coils with heavy automotive bearing grease. Failure to adequately lubricate the springs may
result in oneor more of the following symptoms;
a The springs willbecome rusty over time resulting in extraoperating friction between

the coils whichmay cause the RDO to malfunction.

b. Seasonal temperature changes may causethe Garage Door springs to expand and/or

contract. The resultant increase and/or decrease in operating friction may cause the RDO
to malfunction. Properly lubricating the springs will help to minimize the effect of seasonal
temperature changes inoperating friction of your Garage Door.

7. If possible, install the RDO at least 2 meters or more above the ground. Adjust the Manual
Release Cord sothat it hangs approximately 1.8 meters fromthe ground.

8 Do not connectthe RDO to the power source untilthis manual instructs you to do so.
9 The RDO must be connected to a general purpose 220V outlet which has

been installed bya qualified electrical contractor.

10. Locate the wallcontrol panel/push button;
a. within site of the Garage Door and,
b. at a minimum height of 1.5 meters above the ground so that it remains out of the reach of

small children and,

c. away from all moving parts of the door.

11. Install the EntrapmentWarning Label in a prominent position next to the wallcontrol button.

12 The Manual ReleaseInstruction Tag must remain attachedto the Manual Release Cord.
13 After installing and correctly adjusting the RDO, the Garage Door stop and reverse

direction when it comes into contact with a 35mm high solid object placed on the floor under the
Garage Door.

14 The correct function of the Safety Obstruction Reversing System should be checked on a

monthly basis. Make sure that the Garage Door reverses when it makes contact with an
obstruction.

19. Never attempt toopen or close the Garage Door bypulling on theManual Release Cord.

20. Never attempt to make any repairs or remove covers from the RDO without first disconnecting
the power supplycord from main power supply.

21. For additional safety we strongly recommend the fitment of Safety Beams. Although the RDO
incorporates a pressure sensitive safety obstruction system, the addition of Safety Beams will
greatly enhance the operating safety of the Automatic Garage Door and provide additional
peace of mind. In some countries it is mandatory by law to fit Safety Beams. It is the sole
responsibility of theowner/installer to fit Safety Beams in thosecountries which so require.

22 Removal of the RDO's protective covers must only be performed by a technically qualified

person. Attempting to remove the protective covers or repair the RDO without suitable technical
qualification may resultin severe personal injury,death and/or property damage.

23. Always ensure thatthe Garage Door is fully open beforedriving into orout of the Garage.

24. Always ensure theGarage Door is fully closed before leavingthe driveway.

25. Adjustments to the Safety Obstruction Force settings must only be carried out by a technically
qualified person. Attempting to adjust the Safety Reverse Force setting without suitable
technical qualification mayresult in severe personal injury, death and/or propertydamage.

26. Keep hands and loose clothing clear of the Garage Door andProduct at all times.

27. In order for the Safety Obstruction Force System to function it must first encounter an
object/person on to which some force be exerted. Asa result the object/person/door may
suffer

28

MUST

DAMAGE OR INJURY.
The Safety Obstruction Force System is designed to work on STATIONARY objects only. If

Side Room Requirement

Your RDO is comprised of 2 major individual components being, Drive Unit (top figure alongside) and
Control Box (bottom figure alongside). This section of the manual deals with the basic fitting
requirements which should be met you attempt to install your opener. Study them carefully to
ensure that your door andsurroundings are suitable for such an installation.

The recommended minimum and maximum door mounting bracket position as measured from the edge
of the garage door curtain is depicted in Fig.5. The ideal distance should be between 85~125mm as
indicated.

before

Important Note: The procedures outlined in this manual require a certain degree of technical and
mechanical skill. It is not recommended that your RDO be installed by a home handyman. The RDO
should always be installed, serviced and adjusted by a technically qualified person.

Important Notes:

The fixing distance may vary from garage door to garage door depending on the distance

thatthe garage door drum wheel has been set inside the garage door curtain.

If the door drum wheel has been set too deep inside the garage door curtain it is recommended

to fit an additional drum wheel closer to the edge of the curtain facilitating easier installation of
the RDO unit.

The installer should verify the correct distance by actually checking the measurement prior to

mounting or moving any garage door brackets.

Check For Correct Function Of The Door

Weight Bar

Left Or Right Hand Installation

Converting For Right Hand Installation

Control Box Location

Before beginning the installation of the RDO check that the garage door is functioning correctly. The
garage door must be well balanced and operate smoothly and freely. When opened to between
900~1200mm from the floor andreleased the garage door should remain inone fixed position and not r i se
or fall more than 100mm.It should not bind or stick inthe side tracks. The ideal operational effort required to
open or close the garagedoor should not exceed a force of15kg. (Refer Item 3, Page 1)

The main purpose of the weight bar is to eliminate the possibility of the garage door curtain “ballooning”
when starting from the fully open position. With the weight bar fitted the garage door should have a
natural tendency to lightly freefall from the mid open position.

The RDO has been factory set to be installed on the right hand end of your garage door (when viewed
from inside the garage looking out). If the left handside is thepreferred side forinstallation then carryout
the procedure outlined in SectionF below - otherwise skip section Fand go directly to Section G.

Locate the red and black motor wires. (Fig.6) The standard connection (Black to Black and Red to Red)
must be reversed. Unplug the wires at the connectors and reverse them so that they are connected Red
to Black and Black toRed.

Mount the Control Box on a smooth flat surface. The area must be completely free of exposure to water,
either direct (rain, garden hose, sprinklers etc) or indirect (seepage either through or down the internal
face of the wall). The Control Box contains sensitive electronics which will sustain damage as a result of

water intrusion. Water damaged electronics are not covered under the terms of the opener

warranty.

Important Note: The RDO must not be installed on a poorly adjusted, worn or damaged door.

The plug-in battery charger is provided to keep the batteries charged to an optimum voltage. A red
coloured LED, located on the charger casing will illuminate to indicate that the charger has been
connected to an active powersupply.

In order to conserve battery power prior to installation, the RDO is supplied with the positive (red)
battery cable disconnected from the battery terminal. Connect this cable prior to commencing the
installation as follows:­Remove the Control Box lid and connect the red cable to the positive (+) battery terminal as depicted
in Figure below Item 19. Once connected the lid can be refitted.

1.1 Establish a location at approximately chest height on the same wall face as that of the Door Mounting

Bracket to which Drive Unit will be secured. Make sure that the cable running from the Control Box is
long enough to reach up to the Drive Unit for the location that has been selected.

1.2 Use the Mounting Template provided on last page of this manual, mark the location of the 3 Control

Box mounting screws.

1.3 Drill a 6mm hole at each of the 3 marked locations to an approx depth of 75mm

1.4 Insert a green wall plug (provided) into each of the 3 holes

1.5 Insert a self tapping screw (provided) into each of the green plugs and leave the heads exposed from

the wall approx 6mm.

1.6 Locate the 3 recessed mounting slots on the center back of the Control Box base plate and hook

the Control Box onto the screws Note: The mounting screws may need to be adjusted for depth if the
Control Box will not hook on to the screws or if the Control Box does hook on but is loose.

1.7 At this stage, DO NOT plug the Charger into a power socket.
