KNOWLEDGE OF THE PRODUCT AND PREPARATION FOR INSTALLATION

STEP 2
2.1 – PRODUCT DESCRIPTION AND INTENDED USE
In general, the series of devices that make up this product serve to auto-
mate a garage door for residential applications (fig. 1). This type may be
"sectional" or "up-and-over"; up-and-over doors may be projecting (dur-
ing opening the door protrudes outwards) or non-projecting with springs
or counterweights.
In particular, this kit is designed for the automation exclusively of sectional
garage doors. Therefore, to automate an up-and-over door, the special
oscillating arm must be fitted (mod. GA1, not supplied in pack).
Any other use than as specified herein or in environmental condi-
tions other than as stated in STEP 3 is to be considered improper
and is strictly prohibited!
This product (GDX - GDXP - GDXR - GDXPR) comprises an electro-
mechanical gearmotor with a 24 V dc motor, a guide, chain and a drive
carriage. The gearmotor is also equipped with a control unit.
The control unit comprises an electronic board, a courtesy/indicator light
and a built-in radio receiver, plus an aerial, which receives the commands
sent by a transmitter.
The control unit can control different types of manoeuvres, each program-
mable and usable according to specific requirements.
Special functions are also available to enable personalisation of automa-
tion operation.
The automation is designed for use with various accessories which
enhance functionality and guarantee optimal safety. More specifically, the
control unit can memorise up to 150 keys of transmitters mod. TX4 and
up to 4 pairs of photocells, mod. PH0.
The product is mains-powered, and, in the event of a power failure
enables manual movement of the door, by release of the drive carriage
using a special cord or by means of a release mechanism located exter-
nally (mod. GU1, not supplied in pack).
In any event the door can also be opened by means of a buffer battery
(mod. ME, not supplied in pack) if fitted on the system.
