Description
B&D / ATA PG3 Programmer – BND69787
The B&D / ATA PG3 Programmer is a professional service, programming and diagnostic tool designed for compatible B&D and Automatic Technology Australia (ATA) garage door and gate automation systems.
Designed primarily for professional installers, service technicians and authorised repairers, the PG3 provides access to advanced opener settings and diagnostic information that cannot be accessed through the standard controls on compatible operators.
It is an essential workshop and field-service tool for technicians regularly installing, servicing and diagnosing compatible B&D and ATA automation equipment.
🧰 Professional Service & Diagnostic Tool
The PG3 is designed to provide technicians with greater access to compatible operator electronics than is available through the standard onboard controls.
This makes it particularly useful when carrying out:
- Professional servicing
- Fault diagnosis
- Advanced programming
- Operator setup
- System configuration
- Maintenance
- Warranty assessment
- Technical troubleshooting
Rather than replacing components based purely on symptoms, diagnostic information can assist technicians in identifying the cause of an automation problem.
💻 Advanced Operator Programming
Some settings within compatible B&D and ATA operators cannot be adjusted through the normal user controls.
ATA technical documentation specifically identifies certain parameters that require a PG3 Programmer for adjustment.
The PG3 therefore allows trained technicians to access additional configuration options when commissioning or servicing compatible equipment.
⚙️ Access Technician-Level Settings
Depending on the connected operator and control system, the PG3 can provide access to settings beyond those normally available to the end user.
The exact parameters available depend on the particular operator and controller.
This makes the PG3 particularly valuable for technicians working across multiple compatible B&D and ATA automation products.
💡 Adjust Supported Operator Parameters
ATA operator documentation confirms that certain parameters can only be modified using a PG3 Programmer.
For example, on compatible ATA operators the courtesy-light operating time is one setting specifically identified as requiring the PG3 for adjustment.
Other available settings and functions depend on the operator model and firmware.
🔍 Diagnostic Support
The PG3 can assist with diagnosing faults within compatible garage door and gate automation systems.
Access to system information can help a technician determine whether a problem relates to the:
- Operator
- Control electronics
- Setup or configuration
- Safety system
- Connected accessories
- Operating conditions
- Other components within the automation system
This can help reduce unnecessary component replacement during troubleshooting.
📊 System Information
The PG3 can be used as part of the diagnostic process to access and download information from compatible operator systems.
This information can be useful when investigating intermittent faults or assessing the operating history of an automation system.
For professional service technicians, this provides substantially more information than simply observing the current behaviour of the opener.
🛠️ Ideal for Professional Garage Door Technicians
The PG3 is particularly suited to technicians who regularly work with B&D and ATA automation equipment.
Typical users include:
- Garage door installers
- Garage door service technicians
- Gate automation technicians
- Professional repairers
- Automation workshops
- B&D and ATA service specialists
- Maintenance departments
For businesses servicing a large installed base of B&D and ATA operators, the PG3 is a valuable diagnostic and programming tool.
🚪 B&D & ATA Automation Applications
The PG3 is designed for use with compatible automation equipment manufactured within the B&D / Automatic Technology platform.
This may include compatible:
- Roller door operators
- Sectional door operators
- Overhead garage door operators
- Gate operators
- Control systems
- Automation accessories
Compatibility depends on the individual operator model, control board and generation.
🧠 More Than a Basic Programmer
The PG3 should not be considered simply a remote-control coding device.
Its purpose is professional access to compatible automation electronics for programming, setup and diagnostic work.
Standard transmitter coding and normal customer adjustments can generally be performed using the controls provided on the operator itself.
The PG3 is intended for situations where deeper system access is required.
🩺 Useful for Fault Finding
Garage door automation faults are not always caused by the motor itself.
Problems can originate from control electronics, configuration, safety systems, accessories or other operating conditions.
Using the PG3 as part of a structured diagnostic process allows a trained technician to gather additional information before determining which components require attention.
This can assist with more accurate fault diagnosis and reduce unnecessary replacement of serviceable components.
📋 Warranty & Service Diagnostics
The PG3 may also be used during professional service and warranty assessment procedures.
System information downloaded from compatible operators can assist technicians when investigating faults and documenting the condition of an automation system.
Any warranty assessment remains subject to the applicable B&D or ATA warranty conditions and procedures.
🔧 Workshop or Mobile Service Use
The PG3 is suitable for both workshop and field-service environments.
For mobile garage door technicians, it can form part of the standard diagnostic equipment carried when servicing compatible B&D and ATA automation systems.
For workshops, it provides a useful tool when testing or diagnosing compatible operators and control equipment removed from site.
⚠️ Professional Use Recommended
The PG3 is a specialised programming and diagnostic tool.
It is primarily intended for installers, technicians and other users who understand the operation and safety requirements of automatic garage door and gate systems.
Changing advanced operator parameters without understanding their function can affect the behaviour or safety of the automation system.
For this reason, advanced settings should only be altered by appropriately trained personnel.

Compatibility
The PG3 Programmer is designed for compatible B&D and Automatic Technology Australia automation products.
Compatibility varies according to the operator model, control board generation and firmware.
It may be suitable for selected compatible:
- B&D garage door operators
- ATA garage door operators
- Roller door operators
- Sectional door operators
- Overhead door operators
- Gate automation equipment
- Compatible B&D / ATA control systems
Because B&D and ATA have produced multiple generations of automation electronics, PG3 functionality is not necessarily identical across every operator.
If purchasing the PG3 for a particular operator, compatibility should be confirmed before ordering.
⚠️ Please Note
The PG3 is a professional programming and diagnostic device and is not a standard garage door remote control or everyday homeowner accessory.
Available programming and diagnostic functions vary depending on the connected operator, control board and firmware.
Not every B&D or ATA operator necessarily supports every PG3 function.
Some standard operator functions can be configured directly from the opener without a PG3. The PG3 is primarily required for supported advanced settings and diagnostic functions that are not accessible through the normal operator controls.
Changing advanced settings can alter the operation and safety characteristics of an automatic garage door or gate system. Programming should only be carried out by personnel who understand the applicable operator and its safety requirements.
If you are purchasing the PG3 for a specific B&D or ATA operator and are unsure of compatibility, contact our Technical Support team on 1300 733 066 before ordering.
