Before beginning the installation of the RDO check that the garage door is functioning correctly. The
garage door must be well balanced and operate smoothly and freely. When opened to between
900~1200mm from the floor and released the garage door should remain in one fixed position and not
r i s e
or fall more than 100mm. It should not bind or stick in the side tracks. The ideal operational effort
required to
open or close the garage door should not exceed a force of 15kg. (Refer Item 3, Page 1)
The main purpose of the weight bar is to eliminate the possibility of the garage door curtain “ballooning”
when starting from the fully open position. With the weight bar fitted the garage door should have a
natural tendency to lightly free fall from the mid open position.
The RDO has been factory set to be installed on the right hand end of your garage door (when viewed
from inside the garage looking out). If the left hand side is the preferred side for installation then carry out
the procedure outlined in Section F below - otherwise skip section F and go directly to Section G.
Locate the red and black motor wires. (Fig.6) The standard connection (Black to Black and Red to Red)
must be reversed. Unplug the wires at the connectors and reverse them so that they are connected Red
to Black and Black to Red.
Mount the Control Box on a smooth flat surface. The area must be completely free of exposure to water,
either direct (rain, garden hose, sprinklers etc) or indirect (seepage either through or down the internal
face of the wall). The Control Box contains sensitive electronics which will sustain damage as a result of
water intrusion. Water damaged electronics are not covered under the terms of the opener
warranty.
Important Note: The RDO must not be installed on a poorly adjusted, worn or damaged door.
