 GD00Z-4 MOUNTING

 GD00Z-4 CONNECTIONS

 SYSTEM OPERATION

 OPERATION NOTES

1. 

The warning light will fl ash and the warning beeper will sound for fi ve seconds 
before the door opener is activated. 

STAY CLEAR OF THE DOOR, AND DOOR 

OPENER. THEY ARE ABOUT TO MOVE!

2. 

If the door does not completely open or close after remote activation, the GD00Z-4 
will allow user to try to operate the door one more time. If the second attempt fails, 
the GD00Z-4 will go into lock-out mode. See Note #3.

3. 

If the GD00Z-4 is in lock-out mode and will not accept remote commands, activate 
the door from the pushbutton wall console.

4. 

Once the GD00Z-4 has initiated the movement of the garage door, another 
command cannot be sent for 30 seconds. This eliminates the chance of “bouncing” 
the garage door and possibly damaging the garage door opener.

 TROUBLESHOOTING

PROBLEM

POSSIBLE 

CAUSE

CORRECTIVE ACTION

Unable to 
include in 
Z-Wave 
network.

GD00Z-4 was 
not properly 
excluded from a 
previous Z-Wave 
network.

Reset the GD00Z-4 by pressing the LINK 
button 5 times. A quick beep then a longer 
beep indicates the reset. Use this procedure 
only in the event that the network primary 
controller is missing or otherwise inoperable.

The GD00Z-4 
does not fl ash 
or beep when 
activated.

No power to the 
GD00Z-4.

1. Make sure the power supply is plugged in 

securely to a live outlet.

2. Make sure the power cord is plugged in 

securely to the GD00Z-4.

The GD00Z-4 
fl ashes and 
beeps when 
activated but 
the door does 
not move.

Obstruction 
blocking the 
door or incorrect 
wiring.

1. Make sure that there are no obstacles 

preventing the door from moving.

2. Make sure that the GD00Z-4 connection 

wires are connected to the proper 
terminals on the garage door opener. 
Trace the wires from the garage door 
opener’s pushbutton wall console to the 
door opener. This is where the GD00Z-4 
connection wires should be connected.

Garage door 
opens or 
closes, but the 
status does 
not change on 
the Z-Wave 
Controller.

The tilt sensor 
signal is not 
being received 
by the GD00Z-4.

1. Make sure the tilt sensor is mounted 

correctly on the garage door, with the 
arrow pointing up.

2. Make sure the battery pull tab has been 

removed from the tilt sensor.

3. Replace the battery in the tilt sensor.
