Auxiliary Output
The auxiliary output can be used to control alarm or another garage
door opener. A valid transmission from the pre-coded transmitter will
cause the auxiliary output to pulse for approximately 1 (one) second.
The maximum DC voltage must not exceed 35 volts DC. Maximum
current must not exceed 80 ma.

Remote Aerial
Some sites cause poor radio reception. Particularly problematic areas are those where there is a large amount of metal, like a
steel garage, or an underground car park with large masses of steel reinforced concrete. These issues, and others, can create
reception issues.
Poor radio reception will be noticed by a reduction in the operating range of the transmitters.
You can evaluate whether fitting an external aerial will benefit as follows;
i. Test the maximum operating range of the transmitter with the garage door closed; then
ii. Test the maximum operating range of the transmitter with the garage door open.
If the range improves when the door is open you can install a remote aerial kit to improve reception.
Mount the aerial to a suitable location on the outside of the garage.
Similar to a television aerial, the better the mounting position the better the reception will be. Where possible, mount the aerial
as high as possible, away from masses of metal and in line of sight position, to where you normally use your transmitter.
Keyswitch Connection
The RDO-1V4 has the input to connect
bell switch or keyswitch to open or close
the door.
Safety Beams
A Safety Beam Kit may be fitted to this opener. When this option is
fitted, the operation of this device is such that if an object (i.e car,
child etc) blocks the Infra-Red beam, then the garage door opener
will not close the door automatically. If the Safety Beam is fitted but
not operating coreectly, then the door once opened automatically,
will not close automatically.
Auto Close Option
Auto-Close mode is a function that automatically closes the door a
preset time after the Safety Beams recognise that a vehicle has left
the garage. The Auto-Close timer only starts after the Safety Beam’s
path is broken. If the safety beam path is not broken, the door will
remain open until the path is broken. If the opener incurs a physical
obstruction (i.e. not from the Safety Beams) while closing the door, it
will re-open and not Auto-Close until the Safety Beam’s path is broken
again.
To enable the Auto-Close function remove the light diffuser from the
opener and remove the AUTO-CLS (ACLS) shunt next to the programmer
input and place over both ACLS inputs. When this option is selected
the garage door opener will attempt to close the door automatically
30 seconds after opening. Refit the light diffuser.

WARNING!
It is compulsory to have
Safety Beams installed when using
Auto-Close mode.
Remove shunt
and place over
both inputs.
