Owner Installation Instructions
GDO-8 Shed Master®

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 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 page 16 of this 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-profi ling the door, clearing limits, clearing transmitters, changing force margins,
and coding transmitters.
Photo Electric (PE) Beam (optional)
The opener has an input for a PE beam to be connected for extra safety protection.
Secure Light Module (optional)
An external secure light module is available to connect to the GDO-8 Shed Master ® opener. The
light stays on for approximately four minutes after the operation of opener.
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.
Security Lock For Manual Release Handle (optional)
For added security the manual release handle can be locked out or disabled. This is ideal if the opener is to
be mounted on a perimeter door in an exposed carport.
