GDO-9 EnduroTM GEN2 Home Owners Manual4

Warranty

Two (2) year/5,000 cycles full parts and labour

warranty on motor, electronics and mechanical

components of the opener when installed by an

Automatic Technology Dealer.

TrioCodeTM128 Technology

Only transmitters with the TrioCodeTM128

Technology can operate with the latest GEN2

Openers, reducing the chance of interference from

other radio frequency sources. TrioCodeTM128

transmitters have the ability to code into earlier

model openers.

Code Hopping Technology

Every time a transmitter is used a new security

code is generated from over 4.29 billion possible

code combinations. This greatly enhances the

security of the system and makes “code grabbing”

a thing of the past!

Multi-Channel Transmitter

Multi-channel transmitters allow you to operate

other devices such as an adjoining garage door

or automated gate from the same handy unit.

Safety Reversing System

The automatic safety reverse system significantly

reduces the risk of death or serious injury if

trapped by a closing door. The safety reverse force

can be adjusted for environmental conditions

such as windy areas.

Memory Retention

In case of a power failure the opener does not

lose the transmitter codes or limit settings.

Soft Start/Soft Stop

The opener eases into and out of each cycle

making for smoother and quieter operation, as

well as reducing wear and tear on the door and

opener.

Manual Release

The manual release handle allows the door to be

operated by hand in the event of a power failure.

Self Locking

There is no need to manually lock your garage

door, as the opener ‘positively’ locks the door

when closed.

Service Indicator

The opener has a built in service counter. From

factory this is loaded with 3000 cycles. When

this counter expires, the service yellow LED will

light up and at the start of each door movement

the beeper will sound three times. Contact your

dealer/installer for service. (Refer to 10.5 for

information).

Service Fault Indicator

Flashing LEDs on the control panel easily identify

operational problems or service requirements.

Dynamic Door Profiling

Changing door characteristics are automatically

compensated for and “learnt” with each

operation of the door.

Vacation Mode

A transmitter can be programmed to disable

the garage door opener radio receiver. This is

ideal if the door is to be left idle for prolonged

periods. (Refer to 8.2 for information)

Pet (Pedestrian) Mode

A transmitter can be programmed to open

the door partially to allow pets access to the

garage. The default PET Mode height can be

adjusted to a desired position. (Refer to 7.4 for

information). To code a transmitter button to

operate PET mode refer to 8.3 for information.

LED Courtesy Light

Using the latest Light Emitting Diode (LED)

technology, the opener features two LED’s.

These LED’s produce a brilliant white light that

illuminates the garage upon activation.

The LED courtesy light automatically switches

on for approximately four (4) minutes (time

programmable) when operating the door. This

can also be programmed to turn on and off

from a transmitter. (Refer to 8.4 for information)

detection system.
