2.3 Description of devices
2 Product description
2.1 Applications
GDS is a set of components designed for the automation of sectional or
overhead doors in residential applications.
Any applications other than those described above or under different conditions from those specified in this manual are forbidden.
GDS operates with electric power. In the event of a power failure, the
gearmotor can be released using a suitable cord in order to move the
door manually.
GDS consists of the devices shown in figure 2;
make immediately sure that they correspond
to the contents of the package and verify the
integrity of the devices.
Note: to adapt GDS to local regulations, the
contents of the package may vary; an exact list
of the contents is shown on the outside of the
package under the “Mhousekit GDS contains”
heading.
Component and accessories list:
A) 1 GDS electromechanical gearmotor with
incorporated control unit.
B) 1 3-metre guide with pre-assembled chain.
C) 4 coupling profiles
D) 2 ceiling-mounted brackets
E) Miscellaneous small parts: screws, wash-
ers, etc.
F) 1 TX4 radio transmitter.

2.3.1 TX 4 Radio Transmitter
The radio transmitters are used for the remote control of the door opening and closing manoeuvres. They feature four buttons that can all be
used for the 4 types of command to a single automation unit, or to control up to 4 different automation units.
The transmission of the command is confirmed by the LED [A]; an eyelet
[B] allows them to be hung on a keyring.

Instructions GDS 5
GDS must not be used to power a door that is not efficient and
safe. It cannot solve defects resulting from incorrect installation
or poor maintenance of the door.
Before proceeding with the installation you must:
• Make sure that the weight and dimensions of the door fall within the specified operating limits (see paragraph 3.1.1). If they do
not, GDS cannot be used.
• Make sure that the structure of the door is suitable for automation and in compliance with regulations in force.
• Make sure that there are no points of greater friction in the
opening or closing travel of the door.
• Make sure that the mechanical structure of the door is sturdy
enough and that there is no risk of derailing out of the guide.
• Make sure that the door is well balanced: it must not move by
itself when it is placed in any position.
• Make sure that the location where the gearmotor is installed is
compatible with the overall dimensions of the gearmotor and that
it allows the release manoeuvre to be carried out easily and safely.
• Pay attention in particular to the methods for securing the head
of the guide and the brackets to the ceiling. The head of the guide
will have to bear all the strain of opening and closing the door; the
ceiling-mounted brackets will have to bear all the weight of GDS.
In both cases, the wear and deformations that may occur in time
must be taken into consideration.
• Make sure that the minimum and maximum clearances specified in fig. 4 are observed.
• The gearmotor should be mounted so that it coincides with the
centre of the door, or is slightly off-centre, e.g. in order to mount
the OSCILLATING ARM next to the handle (Figure 7).
• Make sure that, in the position corresponding to the door, or
slightly to the side, (see positions “A” and “B”) the conditions are
suitable for mounting the head of the guide; in particular, the
material should be sufficiently sturdy and compact.
Make sure that GDS can be mounted on the ceiling along position
“C” using the mounting brackets.
If the door to be automated is an overhead type with springs or
counterweights, it will be necessary to install an OSCILLATING
ARM, which must be mounted next to the handle (Figure 8).
• If the door to be automated is an overhead type, make sure that
distance [E] in Figure 4, i.e. the minimum distance between the
upper side of the guide and the maximum point reached by the
upper edge of the door, is no shorter than 30 mm , otherwise GDS
cannot be installed.
If the door closes a room that has no other means of access, we
recommend installation of the EXTERNAL RELEASE KIT (figure 6),
otherwise a simple power failure will prevent access to the room
Note: the oscillating arm and external release kit are supplied
with the related assembly instructions.
The installation must be carried out by qualified and skilled personnel in compliance with the directions provided in this chapter
1 “WARNINGS”.

3.1.2 Tools and Materials
Fig. 12
Make sure you have all the tools and materials needed to install
the system; make sure that they are in good condition and serviceable according to current safety standards. See examples in
figure 12.
Instructions GDS 7
3.2.1 Connection to the Electrical Mains
Although the connection of GDS to the electrical mains is beyond the
scope of this manual, we wish to remind you that:
• The power supply line must be laid and connected by a qualified
professional electrician.
• Have a suitably protected 16A “schuko” outlet installed, where
you can plug in GDS.
• The power supply line must be protected from short circuits and
ground leakage; a device must be provided to enable the disconnection of the power supply during the installation and maintenance of GDS (the plug with outlet are suitable for this purpose).
Place the chain support in the guide (Fig. 13):
1
Place the screws in the slit as shown (Fig. 14).
2 Join the profiles by means of the perforated joining rods. Do not screw
nuts A too tightly, as this may cause the profile to warp, and initially prevent the chain from sliding smoothly.
3 Move chain support B sideways and connect it to the chain with screw
C. Move support B back about half way along the sections (Fig. 16).
4 Slot the section in the GDS and move the chain beyond the motor‘s pinion; then tighten screws D of collar E. Tighten the chain slightly then
secure the joint screws permanently. Lubricate the chain well to ensure
smooth GDS operation (Fig. 17).
5 Fix GDS to the door frame or to the wall with rivets and anchors (Fig.
18) maintaining a distance of 30 mm from the door‘s maximum travel
Check the drilling measurements. Insert and secure the support brackets (F) and fasten the GDS to the ceiling (Fig. 20). Cut away any excess
on the brackets.

3.4 Electrical connections
To protect the fitter and avoid damaging the components while
electrical connections are being made or the radio receiver is
being connected, under no circumstances may the unit be electrically powered.
• If the inputs of the NC (Normally Closed) contacts are not used they
should be jumped with the “24 V Common” terminal (except for the
photocell inputs; for information please see the “Photo-test” function).
• If there is more than one NC contact for the same input, they must be
connected in “series”.
• If the inputs of the NO (Normally Open) contacts are not used they
should be left free.
• If there is more than one NO contact for the same input, they must be
connected in “Parallel”.
• The contacts must be mechanical and potential-free; no stage connections are allowed, such as those defined as “PNP”, “NPN”, “Open

3.4.4 Phototest
3.4.5 Power Supply Connection
The control unit GDS features the “Photo-test” function. This is an excellent solution as regards the reliability of safety devices and puts the control unit + safety device assembly into “category 2” as per UNI EN 954-1
standard (ed. 12/1998).
Whenever a manoeuvre is begun, the relative safety devices are checked
and only if everything is in order will the manoeuvre start.
All this is only possible if a special configuration of the safety device connections is used; in practice, the “TX” photocell transmitters are powered
separately from the “RX” receivers (for connections see figure 23).
Note: when “Photo-test” is active, the photocell transmitter is only powered during the manoeuvre.
The connection of the GDS to the mains must be made by a qualified electrician.
To carry out tests, insert the plug of GDS in a power outlet; if necessary,
use an extension cord.
3.4.6 Checking the connections
The next operations involve work being done on live circuits,
some parts have mains voltage running through them and are
therefore EXTREMELY DANGEROUS!
Pay the greatest of attention to what you are doing and NEVER
WORK ALONE!
After making connections, the whole system must be checked.
• Power the control unit and check that the OK Led flashes rapidly for a
few seconds.
• Check that there is a voltage of 24Vac on terminals 3-4, 3-6, 3-7 and
that there is a voltage of 0Vac on terminals 3-8; if this is not the case,
unplug the unit immediately and carefully check the connections and
the voltage input.
• After the initial rapid flashing, the OK Led shows the control unit is
working correctly by flashing regularly at 1 second intervals. When
there is a variation in the inputs, the OK Led flashes rapidly twice to
show that the input has been recognised. When the photocells detect
an obstacle, the OK Led flashes rapidly twice, as it also does when the
“Stop” input is deactivated.
• Carry out a test with the door disconnected from the motor; perform a
brief opening and closing cycle and press the “Step-by-step” button to
check the mechanical parts are in working order. (The first manoeuvre
made after the unit is powered is always “Open”). At the end of the
cycle, reconnect the door to the drive trolley.
• Then position the limit stop slides as shown in Fig. 25.
Press the “Step-by-step” button and check that the door moves in the
opening direction. Press the “Step-by-step” button when the door is 1
cm from the opening point, thereby stopping the manoeuvre; then insert
the “Open” travel stop slide on the edge of the cover. Press the “Stepby-step” button again and check that the door moves in the closing
direction. Press the “Step-by-step” button when the door is 1 cm from
the closing point, thereby stopping the manoeuvre; then insert the
“Close” travel stop slide on the edge of the cover.

10 Instructions GDS
4.1 Pre-set functions
The control unit GDS features some programmable functions (see chapter 5) that are initially pre-set in a typical configuration which satisfies
most automatic systems:
• Function : “Semiautomatic”
• Phototest : deactivated
• Current sensitivity : n° 3 average
These functions can be changed at any time by carrying out a suitable
programming procedure.
5.1 Programming pauses
This parameter allows the “automatic” or “semiautomatic” mode to be
selected; the “pause”, in fact, is the length of time the control unit waits
after an opening manoeuvre before activating the automatic closing
cycle.
To set the “automatic” mode, memorise the required “pause” ranging
between 5 and 250 seconds.
To set the “semiautomatic” mode, memorise a “pause” lasting less than
5 seconds.
The unit features two buttons used to programme various operating
modes so as to make the system more suitable to use needs and safer
in various conditions of use.
The control unit has two operating modes: semiautomatic and automatic.
“Semiautomatic” Mode:
In this mode, a command impulse on the “Step-by-step” input makes
alternative opening and closing manoeuvres according to the “OpenStop-Close-Stop” sequence.
“Automatic” Mode:
In this mode, after an open manoeuvre, a programmed pause takes
place (by setting the pause time) after which the closing manoeuvre is
carried out.
Current Sensitivity:
The control unit features a system measuring the current absorbed by
the motor and uses this to detect obstacles. Given that the absorbed
current depends on variable conditions (weight of door, various kinds of
friction, gusts of wind, voltage variations, etc.) the cut-in threshold can be
changed. There are five levels: no. 1 is the lowest (minimum power), no.
5 is the highest (maximum power). Initially it is set at level 3, which
should be the optimum one for most installations.
The “current sensitivity” function, suitably adjusted (together with
other vital features) allows the system to comply with recent
European standards, EN 12453 and EN 12445, which require techniques or devices to be used to limit force and danger when automatic gates and doors are moved.
4 Programmable functions
All the functions described in the “Programmable functions” chapter can
be selected by means of a programming phase which terminates by
memorising the choices made. The control unit therefore has a memory
which stores the functions and parameters relative to the automation
process.
Press “Step-by-step” and PROG on the board to enter the programming
mode.
The motor must not be running in this mode.

You can program one of the five levels available: 1=minimum, 2=low,
3=medium, 4=high, 5=maximum.
5.3 Programming the photo-test mode
To activate the “Photo-test” mode, make the connections described in
paragraph 2.3.3 “Notes on Connections” (see Fig. 23), and not the connections shown in Fig. 22.
The selected level corresponds to the number of flashes made by the courtesy light.
One flash corresponds to level no. 1 (minimum) while five flashes correspond to level no. 5
(maximum)
1. Press and hold down the PROG button and wait for the courtesy light to start flashing.
2. When the desired flashing occurs, press the PP button as well
3. Release the PP and PROG buttons
To check which level has been programmed: disconnect the power supply to the control unit; press and hold down the PROG button; reconnect the
power supply and then release the PROG button. The selected level corresponds to the number of flashes made by the courtesy light.

The automation system must be tested by qualified and expert
staff who must establish what tests to perform according to the
relative risk.
Testing is the most important part of the whole installation phase. Each
single component, e.g. motors, photocells and other safety devices, the
radio receiver and the emergency stop can require a specific test phase;
please follow the procedures shown in the respective instructions manuals.
To test the control unit carry out the following procedure (the sequence
refers to the GDS control unit with pre-set functions).
• After powering the control unit, check that the OK Led flashes at 1
second intervals. If this does not occur, turn power off immediately and
check the fuse.
• Check the proper operation of all the safety devices (emergency stop,
photocells, pneumatic edges, etc.). Whenever a device cuts in, the OK
Led flashes rapidly twice to signal that the event has been acquired.
•Now it is possible to carry out a complete cycle of the actuator. Press
the “Step-by-step” button again and check that the leaf stops automatically at the travel stop. Press the “Step-by-step” button again and
check that the leaf stops automatically at the opposite travel stop.
Carry out several manoeuvres to make sure that there are no points of
excessive friction and defects in the assembly or adjustments of the
gear motor limit stops. While the closing manoeuvre is being performed, the board automatically memorises the time taken. After a
complete cycle of manoeuvres (open and close touching both travel
stops) the control unit decelerates movement during the last 3 seconds of the closing phase.
•n Now check the safety devices cut in correctly. The ones connected
to the “Photo” input have no effect during opening manoeuvre but they
will invert movement during the closing manoeuvre. The devices connected to the “Stop” input work during both the opening and closing
manoeuvres and stop movement in each case.
In the closing manoeuvre, the control unit reduces speed and noise during the final phase. The point at which the reduction in speed takes place
is automatically calculated according to the duration of the previous
manoeuvres; for this reason it is necessary to carry out a few complete
manoeuvres until the speed reduction point is established (at least ten
manoeuvres should be carried out to establish the exact point in which
the speed reduces).
6 Testing
12 Instructions GDS
As the control unit is electronic, it needs no particular maintenance. Periodically check, however, at least twice a year, that the whole system is in
perfect working order as indicated in the Testing chapter.
7 Maintenance
This section will help fitters to solve some of the most common problems
that may arise during installation.
The OK Led doesn’t light up.
•Make sure that the power cord is properly plugged into the mains outlet.
•Check that there is 24Vac between terminals 3 and 4 of the terminal
board.
• Check that the fuse is in working order. If it has blown, replace it with
2A rapid fuse.
The manoeuvre does not start.
•Check that the “Stop” input is active, that is, voltage between terminals 3 and 6 on the terminal board is equal to approx. 24Vac. If voltage does not correspond, check that the connection to the “Stop”
input is made with a device featuring a Normally Closed contact.
•Check that the photocells are connected to the “Photo” input as
shown in Fig. 22, if the “Photo-test” is deactivated, or as shown in Fig.
23, if “Photo-test” is activated.
• Check that the voltage between terminals 3 and 7 on the terminal
board is equal to approx. 24Vac when the photocells cut in. If the voltage does not correspond, check the photocells work correctly by following the relative instructions.
The manoeuvre does not stop when the “Stop” input cuts in.
•Check if the connection to the “Stop” input is made with a normally
closed contact, as indicated in the “Electrical diagram” in paragraph
3.4.1. If it is connected correctly, check that the OK Led flashes rapidly twice when the contact is open.
The manoeuvre starts but it is immediately followed by a reverse run
• The level of current sensitivity selected is too low to raise the door.
Select a higher level of force as described in paragraph 5.2 “Programming current sensitivity”.
When the manoeuvre begins, the courtesy light switches on but
then it switches off immediately and the manoeuvre does not
continue.
• The “Photo-test” mode is activated and the “Photo-test” was unsuccessful. Check that the photocells are connected as shown in Fig. 23.
If the connection is correct, check the photocells work correctly by following the relative instructions.
The flashing light doesn’t work.
• Check that voltage between terminals 1 and 2 on the terminal board is
equal to approx. 24Vac during the manoeuvre. If the voltage corresponds, the problem is caused by the flashing light that must be
checked by following the relative instructions.
8 Troubleshooting
7.1 Disposal
This product is made of various types of materials, some of which can be

Instructions GDS 13
The receiver requires an aerial tuned to 433.92MHz to work properly;
without an aerial the range is limited to just a few meters. The aerial must
be installed ad high as possible; if there are metal or reinforced concrete
structures nearby you can install the aerial on the top. If the cable supplied with the aerial is too short, use a coaxial cable with 50-Ohm impedance (e.g. low dispersion RG58); the cable must be no longer than 10 m.
Connect the central core of the cable to terminal 10 and the earth braid
to terminal 9.
If the aerial is installed in a place that is not connected to earth (masonry structures), the braid’s terminal can be earthed to provide a larger
range of action. The earth point must, of course, be local and of good
quality. If an aerial tuned to 433.92MHz cannot be installed, you can get
quite good results using the length of wire supplied with the receiver as
aerial, laying it flat and connecting it to terminal 10.
The GDS control unit already features a radio receiver for “rolling code”
transmitters belonging to the TX4 series produced by Nice. The special
thing about this series is that the recognition code is different for each
transmitter (it also changes every time it is used).
Therefore, in order to recognise a determined transmitter, the recognition
code must be memorised.
This operation must be repeated for each transmitter required to communicate with the GDS control unit.
Up to a maximum of 256 transmitters can be memorised in the receiver.
It is not possible to delete only one radio transmitter. With this operation all the
memorised transmitters are deleted.
During the transmitter code memorisation phase, one of these options
may be checked:
Type I. Each transmitter button activates the corresponding output in the
receiver, that is, button 1 activates output 1, button 2 activates output 2,
and so on. In this case there is a single memorisation phase for each
transmitter; during this phase, it doesn’t matter which button is pressed
and just one memory sector is occupied.
Type II. Each transmitter button can be associated with a particular output in the receiver, e.g. button 1 activates output 3, button 2 activates
output 1, and so on. In this case, the transmitter must be memorised,
pressing the required button, for each output to activate.
Naturally, each button can activate just one output while the same output can be activated by more than one button.
One memory section is occupied for each button.
The GDS control unit only uses the first of the 4 receiver channels, in particular,
output No. 1 is connected to the “Step-by-step” output; outputs 2-3-4 are not
used.

Note: If the memorisation procedure is successful, the LED on the receiver will flash 3 times.
If there are other transmitters to memorise, repeat step 3 within another 10 seconds.
The memorisation phase finishes if no new codes are received for 10 seconds. x3
When the memorisation phase is activated, any transmitter correctly recognised within the reception range of the radio is memorised. Consider this aspect with care and remove the aerial if
necessary to reduce the capacity of the receiver.
The procedures for memorising remote controls must be performed within a certain time limit; please make sure you read and understand the
whole procedure before starting.
To carry out the following procedure, use the button on the radio receiver box, and the respective Led to the left of the button.

It is possible to memorise a new transmitter in the receiver memory without using the keypad. You need to have an “OLD” pre-memorised operational remote control. The new transmitter will “inherit” the characteristics of the previously memorised one. If the old radio transmitter was
memorised in Mode 1, the new one will also be memorised in Mode 1.
In this case, during the memorisation stage you can press any key on the
two transmitters. If, on the other hand, the old transmitter was memorised in Mode II, the new one will also be memorised in Mode II: you must
press the button on the old transmitter which corresponds to the desired
command, and the button on the new transmitter to which you wish to
associate that command.
Read all the instructions and then carry out the operations one after the
other without interruptions. Now, with the two remote controls, NEW, the
one whose code number we want to enter, and OLD, the previously
memorised one, position yourself in the range of action of the radio controls (within their maximum range) and carry out the steps shown in the
table.

15.3.4 Replacing the Remote Control Battery
Gearmotor release
The gearmotor is equipped with a mechanical system which allows the
door to be opened and closed manually (i.e. as if GDS were not present).
The manual operation must be resorted to in case of power failures or
system malfunctions.
1 Pull the release cord until you hear the carriage being released.
2 At this point you can move the door manually
3 To restore the functionality of the automation system, move the door
back in position until you hear the carriage being engaged.
The only recommended maintenance operations that the user can perform periodically concern the cleaning of the photocell glasses and the
removal of leaves and debris that may impede the automation.
• Use a slightly damp cloth (not wet) to clean the surface of the
devices. Do not use any substances containing alcohol, benzene,
diluents or other flammable substances. The use of these substances could damage the devices, start fires or generate electric shocks.
• Disconnect the power supply to the automation before you proceed to remove leaves and debris, to prevent anyone from activating the door.
If the range of the remote control is significantly diminished and the light
emitted by the LED is feeble, the remote control battery is probably
exhausted. The remote control houses two CR2016 type lithium batteries. To replace them proceed as follows:
1 Open the bottom by pulling it.
2 Insert a small pointed tool in the slit and prise the batteries out..
3 Insert the new battery, observing the polarity (the “+” symbol towards
the bottom).
4 Close the bottom until it clicks.
The batteries contain polluting substances: do not dispose of
them together with other waste but use the methods established
by local regulations.
