GDO-7v2 

Owner Installation Instructions

Operation

To open or close the door simply press a button on a TrioCode™ handheld transmitter, a wall mounted 

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 reverse the door’s  direction.

TrioCode™ Code Hopping Multi-Frequency 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 slightly 
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. 

Anti-travel electronic brakes

The GDO-7v2 features an anti-travel electronic brake mechanism to ensure the opener stops the door at 

exact location

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 at least once a month. 

See installation manual for instructions.

Overload indicator

When the maximum opening and closing capacity of the GDO-7v2  is exceeded the red and green Limits 

LEDs fl ash alternately to indicate that an overload has occurred.
