FEATURES
Thank you for purchasing the ATA
GDO-9 Automatic Garage Door
Opener. This opener is designed to
suit sectional overhead and one
piece tilt up doors. The components
and materials used in this opener
are of the latest technology and
highest quality. Listed below are
some of the many features.
OPERATION
To open or close the door simply
press the hand held transmitter, the
wall mounted transmitter, or optional
wall switch for two seconds. During
an open or close cycle the door can
be stopped by pressing the button
while the door is in motion. The next
actuation will move the door in the
opposite direction.
HOPPING CODE
Every time a transmission is made
from the remote transmitter a new
security code is generated. The
number of possible code
combinations is over 4.29 billion.
This greatly enhances the security
of the system. Code “grabbing” is
made a thing of the past.
ALPS ( AUTOMATIC
LIMITS POSITIONING SYSTEM)
The ALPS system does away with
manual adjustment of the doors’
limits position using mechanical
parts, such as cams and micro
switches.
During installation the hand held
transmitter can be programmed to
set the door limits positions.
ISS (INTELLIGENT SAFETY
OBSTRUCTION SYSTEM)
Whilst performing a close cycle the
door will automatically reverse if it
should hit an obstacle or is restrict-
ed in some manner. The amount of
force the door should encounter
before reversing is automatically
adjusted by the control system dur-
ing the initialisation of the opener.
The door will also stop if restricted
whilst opening. The safety obstruc-
tion force should be checked at
least once a month. See installation
manual for instructions.
SECURITY CODE STORE
The gdo-9 securalift® Garage Door
Opener uses state of the art tech-
nology in storing your selected
transmitter security codes Up to 24
different transmitters can be stored
in the openers memory.
OVER LOAD INDICATOR
When the maximum opening and
closing capacity of the opener is
exceeded an audible beeper will
sound to indicate that an overload
has occurred.
AUTO COURTESY LIGHT
The opener’s courtesy light illumi-
nates automatically whenever the
door is activated. The light can
also be switched on and off without
operating the door. This is done by
pressing the button on any transmit-
ter which has been coded to operate
the light. The light will stay on for
approximately three minutes then
switch off. This time is also
adjustable.
BATTERY BACK UP (OPTIONAL)
The opener has provision to include
a battery back up module. This is an
ideal addition if the garage door is
the only entrance to the garage or if
the area is prone to power cuts.
Note: If the panel lift door is the only
entrance to the garage and a battery
back up kit is not fitted to the open-
er - a keyed cable release should be
fitted to the exterior of the garage.
VACATION MODE
A transmitter can be programmed to
block out all other transmitters that
have been programmed into the
opener’s memory. Vacation mode is
ideal for homes with non-permanent
tenancy or when the door is to be
left idle for long periods of time.
PET (PEDESTRIAN) MODE
A transmitter can be programmed to
open the door partially so that the
family pet can enter and exit the
garage at any time. If required, you
may also wish to open the door to a
height suitable only for pedestrian
access. The opening height is
adjustable.
AUTO CLOSE MODE
The opener can be programmed to
automatically close after an open
cycle. It is compulsory to install a
photo electric beam if this mode is
selected, otherwise the door may
cause personal injury or damage to
property. Auto close time is
adjustable.
PHOTO ELECTRIC BEAM
(OPTIONAL)
The opener has an input for a photo
electric beam to be connected for
extra safety protection 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 for any reason the door
can be put into manual mode by
pulling down on the string handle on
an angle towards the door. This will
allow you to manually open or close
the door. To re-engage the opener
pull the string handle away from the
door.
EASY ACCESS TRANSMITTER
Inside the manual release handle is
a transmitter designed to be in easy
reach so that the garage door can
be operated without having to
stretch to reach the oprate button on
the control panel.
