GD00Z-8-GC Overview

• A garage door opener remote command
transceiver with built-in Z-Wave technology.

• Allows remote operation of a garage door
opener using Z-Wave controllers.

• Acts as a Z-Wave repeater to improve
communications within the Z-Wave mesh
network.

• GD00Z-8-GC connects to the garage door
opener’s pushbutton wall console terminals.

• A wireless tilt sensor mounts on garage
door and reports door’s position to
GD00Z-8-GC.

• GD00Z-8-GC responds to Z-Wave
commands from Z-Wave controllers to
open or close the garage door.

• A warning indicator light ashes and a
beeper sounds for 5 seconds before the
door begins to move.

• If the door does not completely open or
close, a second open or close command
can be sent after 30seconds.

• If the door does not completely open
or close after the second attempt, the
GD00Z-8-GC operation is suspended
until a local garage door pushbutton is

activated.

OPERATION NOTES

9

1. The warning light will ash and the warning beeper will sound for ve seconds
before the door opener is activated. STAY CLEAR OF THE DOOR AND DOOR
OPENER. THEY ARE ABOUT TO MOVE!

2. If the door does not completely open or close after remote activation, the

GD00Z-8-GC will allow user to try to operate the door one more time. If the
second attempt fails, the GD00Z-8-GC will go into lock-out mode. See Note#3.

3. If the GD00Z-8-GC is in lock-out mode and will not accept remote commands,
activate the door from the pushbutton wall console.

4. Once the GD00Z-8-GC has initiated the movement of the garage door, another
command cannot be sent for 30 seconds. This eliminates the chance of
“bouncing” the garage door and possibly damaging the garage door opener.
