FEATURES

Thank you for purchasing the B&D
EconoLift Automatic Rolling Garage
Door Opener. This opener is designed to
suit vertical operating continuous 
curtain roll 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.

SECURITY CODE STORE

The EconoLift Garage Door Opener
uses state of the art technology in
storing your selected transmitter 
security code. Up to six smart code
transmitters can be stored in the openers
memory, plus one dipswitch unit and an
entry keypad.

WEATHERPROOF DESIGN

The opener’s control board is housed in
a weather-proof enclosure rated to IP24.
This offers protection from rain 
however the unit should not be sprayed
by a hose or any other water carrying
device.

AUTOMATIC LIMITS
POSITIONING

The limits system automatically 
calculates the doors’ travel limits and
stores it in memory. If the door is
moved manually within the travel limits
during a power failure, it will recognise
this once the power is restored and stop
at the correct limit position if the door is
activated.

INTELLIGENT FORCE MARGIN
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
initialisation of the automatic door
opener. The door will also stop if
restricted whilst opening. The Safety
Obstruction Force should be checked at
least once a month. See installation
manual for instructions.

LOCKABLE CONTROL PANEL

The control panel can be locked and
disabled to prevent tampering. This is
useful if the opener is to be mounted on
an exposed carport or a perimeter door.

Locking the control panel will prevent
operating the door via the Operate 
button, re profiling, clearing limits,
clearing transmitters, changing force
margins, and coding transmitters.

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.

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
patented 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, then releasing. This will
allow you to manually open or close the
door. When power is restored, by
pulling down on the string handle and
releasing, the opener is put back into
automatic mode.
