• If this is the first time that you install a GD0 sectional or overhead door
automation system we recommend that you dedicate some of your time
to reading this manual. You should read it before you start installing the
system, so you don’t have to rush to finish the work.
Keep all the components of the GD0 system handy so that you can read,
check and verify all the information contained in this manual. However,
do not carry out the adjustment and memorization stages otherwise,
during the actual installation of the products, you will have to deal with
settings that differ from the original factory ones.
• When reading this manual, pay special attention to the sections marked
by the following symbol:
these sections are particularly important for safety.
• Store this manual safely for future use.
• This manual, as well as the design and manufacture of the devices that

• Considering the hazards that may exist during the installation and oper-
ation of GD0, it is necessary that also the installation be carried out in
strict compliance with current legislation, standards and regulations, par-
ticularly:
• This manual contains important information regarding personal

• Before you start with the installation, make sure that each sin-
gle GD0 device is suitable for the intended automation purposes;
pay special attention to the data provided in chapter 6 “Technical
Characteristics”. If even a single device is not suitable for the
intended application, do not proceed with the installation.
• Before you start with the installation, check whether additional
devices or materials are needed to complete the automation with
GD0 based on the specific application requirements.
• The GD0 automation system must not be installed outdoors
• The GD0 automation system must not be used until the automa-
