Safety Instructions

Please read these important safety instructions prior to installation.
A garage door is the largest automated moving object in most homes.
Please ensure that all safety recommendations and regulations are considered and adhered to.

This device allows for the operation of the garage door when the door or opener is not in direct line of site.

As the door may operate unexpectedly you must ensure that there is no object near the path of the door. When the door is operating people must be kept away until the door has come to a complete stop. Contact with a moving door may result in serious injury, death or damage to property.
Safety beams must be installed in accordance with AS/NZ 60335-2-95:2012. Correctly installed safety beams will prevent the door from closing if a person or object is located within the door area.

It is highly recommended that safety beams are fitted with all installations.

In addition, monthly safety reverse tests and regular professional maintenance must be carried out as detailed in your opener’s Installation and Operating Manual.
This product, or any internet device that has the Zimi app installed, is not intended for use by children or persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities.
The door sensor has an IP66 (waterproof) rating however the controller should not be installed in a wet or damp space exposed to the weather.
Do not attempt to disassemble, repair or modify the product in any way.
This will void the product warranty.
