CAUTION: If your garage has no pedestrian entrance door, an emergency access device should be installed.

This accessory allows manual operation of the garage door from outside in case of power failure.

For ADDITIONAL ENTRAPMENT protection we STRONGLY recommend the ﬁtting of a Photo Electric

(PE) Beam. In most countries PE Beams are mandatory on all garage doors ﬁtted with automatic

openers. For a small additional outlay Automatic Technology recommends that Photo Electric Beams

be installed with the automatic opener ensuring additional safety and peace of mind.

DO NOT operate the opener unless the garage door is in full view and free from objects such

as cars and children/people. Make sure that the door has ﬁnished moving before entering or

leaving the garage.

DO NOT operate the opener when children/people are near the door. Children must be

supervised at all times when the Ero™ is in use. Serious personal injury and/or property

damage can result from failure to follow this warning.

DO NOT allow children to operate the Ero™. Serious personal injury and/or

property damage can result from failure to follow this warning.

Regularly check to make sure that the Safety Obstruction Force is working

correctly, and is tested and set as per page 20 of this manual. Failure to

follow these instructions could result in serious personal injury and/or

property damage. This test must be repeated at regular intervals and the

necessary adjustments made as required.

Doors requiring over 400N of force to move must have PE Beams

installed.

DO NOT disengage the door opener to manual operation with

children/people or any other objects including motor vehicles

within the doorway.

The door opener is not intended for use by young children

or inﬁrm persons without adequate supervision. Children

should be supervised to ensure that they do not play

with the remote transmitters or the opener.

Keep hands and loose clothing clear of the door

and door opener at all times.

WARNING: It is vital for the safety of persons to follow all

instructions. Failure to comply with the following Safety

instructions may result in serious personal injury and/or

property damage.

Important Safety Instructions

Owner Installation Instructions GDO-11v1 Ero®5

The unit should be installed so that it is protected from the elements. It should not be exposed to water or rain.

It is not to be immersed in water or sprayed directly by a hose or other device.

The garage door must be well balanced. Sticking or binding doors must be repaired by a qualiﬁed garage

door installer prior to installation of the opener.

Frequently examine the installation, in particular cables, springs and mountings for signs of wear, damage

or imbalance. DO NOT use if repair or adjustment is needed since a fault in the installation or an

incorrectly balanced door may cause injury. DO NOT attempt to repair the door yourself as hardware

is under extreme tension.

Remove or disengage all garage door locks and mechanisms prior to installation of the opener.

Connect the opener to a properly earthed general purpose 240V mains power outlet installed

by a qualiﬁed electrical contractor.

Disconnect the power cord from mains power before making any repairs or removing

covers. Only experienced service personnel should remove covers from the opener.

In order for the Ero™ to sense an object obstructing the door way, some force must

be exerted on the object. As a result the object, door and/or person may suffer

damage or injury.

If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by an Automatic

Technology service agent or suitably qualiﬁed person.

Make sure that the door is fully open before driving in or out of the garage

and fully closed before leaving the driveway.

Make sure that remote controls are kept out of reach of children.

Install the (optional) wall switch or (optional) wall mounted

transmitter in a location where the garage door is visible, but

out of the reach of children at a height of at least 1.8 metres

from the ﬂoor.

Important Safety Instructions

6GDO-11v1 Ero® Owner Installation Instructions

Operation

To open or close the door simply press a button on a TrioCode™ handheld

transmitter, or optional wall switch for two seconds. During open and close cycles

the door can be stopped by pressing the button again. The next actuation will

move the door in the opposite direction.

TrioCode™ Code Hopping Technology

Every time a TrioCode™ transmitter is used a new security code is randomly

generated from over 4.29 billion possibilities. This greatly enhances the security

of the system and makes “code grabbing” a thing of the past

These transmitters also overcome interference issues by simultaneously sending a

signal over three different frequencies. Even if two of the three signals are jammed,

the system will still work.

S-ALPS (Semi Automatic Limits Positioning System)

The S-ALPS system does away with manual adjustment of the door’s limits position

using mechanical parts, such as cams and microswitches. During installation the

handheld transmitter can be programmed to set the limits positions.

ISS (intelligent safety obstruction system)

While the door is performing a close cycle, should it hit an obstacle or be restricted in some

manner, it will automatically reverse. The amount of force the door should encounter before

reversing is automatically adjusted by the doors control system during the initial installation of the

automatic door opener. The door will also stop if restricted whilst opening. The Safety Obstruction

Force should be checked monthly.

Auto courtesy light

The courtesy light comes on automatically for three minutes whenever the door is activated. The light can also

be operated independently of the door by coding a dedicated button on a transmitter.

Features

Thank you for purchasing the Automatic Technology

GDO-11v1 Ero™ Overhead Garage Door Opener.

Designed to suit sectional overhead and one piece

tilt up doors, the components and materials used

ensure this opener will provide years of smart,

simple and secure operation. Listed below

are some of the many features:

Owner Installation Instructions GDO-11v1 Ero®7

SmartSolar™ and Battery Backup Compatibility (optional)

The opener can be ﬁtted with a SmartSolar™ or Battery Backup kit for operation in the

event of a power outage, or where mains power access is not available.

NOTE: If the door is the only entrance to the garage, and a battery backup kit is

not ﬁtted, a keyed cable release should be ﬁtted externally to the garage.

Vacation mode

A hand held transmitter can be programmed to lock and unlock all other

transmitters that have been programmed into the openers’ memory. The vacation

mode can be used when the door is left idle for long periods of time.

Pet/Pedestrian mode

The transmitter can be programmed to open the door to an adjustable partial

height so that the family pet can enter and exit the garage at any time. You may also

wish to open the door to a height suitable only for pedestrian access.

Photo Electric (PE) Beam (optional)

The opener has an input to connect a PE Beam for extra safety.

Manual operation

The opener is equipped with a unique manual disengaging device. If the power to the opener

is disrupted, the door can be put into manual mode by pulling down on the string handle on an

angle towards the door. This allows for manual operation of the door. To re-engage the opener, pull

the string handle away from the door.
