The Parkside PSGTA60 is a garage door opener designed for residential use, providing automated control over garage doors. It is suitable for one-piece doors with horizontal tracks only and sectional doors with curved tracks. The unit is not compatible with one-piece doors that have both horizontal and vertical tracks, double-wing doors, or canopy doors.
The primary function of the PSGTA60 is to open and close garage doors automatically. It operates using a chain/cable assembly that moves a trolley along a rail, which in turn pulls or pushes the door arm to control the door's movement. The opener is activated by various devices, including a remote control transmitter, a lighted door control button, or an optional outside keylock or keyless entry system.
A key safety feature is the automatic safety reverse system. If the closing door encounters an obstruction, it will automatically reverse to the open position. This system is crucial for preventing serious personal injury and property damage. The opener also includes a manual release rope and handle, allowing the door to be opened or closed manually in case of a power failure or other malfunction. This manual release should ideally be used only when the door is closed. For garages without a service entrance door, an optional outside quick release accessory (Model 1702EML) is available to enable manual operation from outside.
The unit is equipped with limit switches that define the full open and full closed positions of the garage door. These limits are adjustable to ensure the door travels correctly and fully opens or closes without over-traveling. The force setting is also adjustable, allowing the opener to adapt to different door weights and ensure proper operation of the safety reverse system.
The opener features an integrated light that illuminates when the unit is activated or when power is connected or interrupted. The light remains on for 2.5 minutes before automatically turning off.
To operate the opener, users can press and hold a button on the remote control transmitter or the lighted door control button until the door starts to move. If the door is fully open, it will close; if closed, it will open. If the door is in motion, pressing the button again will stop it. If partially open, the door will move in the opposite direction of its last travel.
The safety reverse system is a critical usage feature that requires regular testing. Users must place a 40mm obstacle on the floor under the garage door and operate the door in the down direction. The door must reverse on contact with the obstruction. If it stops without reversing, or if it travels too far after contact, the close limit needs adjustment. This test should be performed monthly.
The opener can be programmed to accept additional remote control codes. This is useful when purchasing new remotes or if existing codes need to be updated. The programming process involves pressing a program button on the motor unit and then holding the button on the hand-held remote until the motor unit light blinks or two clicks are heard. All existing codes can be erased from the motor unit's memory by pressing and holding the program button until the learn indicator light goes out.
The optional Protector System™ (photo-electric sensors) provides an additional layer of safety, especially for homes with young children. This system creates an invisible beam across the garage door opening. If the beam is broken while the door is closing, the door will automatically reverse to the open position and prevent closing.
The PSGTA60 is designed for high performance with minimal maintenance. It does not require additional lubrication beyond what is specified for the door itself.
Regular maintenance includes:
The unit is a class 2 double insulated product, meaning connection to earth is not required or provided. If the transformer and power supply cord are damaged, they must be replaced by a specialist from a local Chamberlain distributor.
