To clarify a few terms and aspects of a sectional or overhead door automation system.
In Figure 1 we provide an example of a typical GDS application:
2.2 Description of the automation
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”.

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
Collector”, etc.
