B&D Part Number: 101004
Please Note: A C-Rail is not included and must be selected separately to suit the garage door height and installation.
💪 B&D’s High-Capacity Smart Pro Operator
The SDO-9V3 Smart Pro is the highest-capacity model in B&D’s Smart Pro, Smart and Secure residential sectional opener range.
It is designed for applications where increased capacity is required, including:
- Large sectional garage doors
- Double garage doors
- Heavy sectional doors
- Custom garage doors
- Architectural garage doors
- Insulated sectional doors
- Custom-clad sectional doors
The garage door must be correctly spring balanced and operating freely before automation.
⚡ 1400N Peak Pulling Force
The SDO-9V3 provides up to:
- 1400N short-term peak force
- 450N rated load
This increased capacity makes the Smart Pro particularly suitable for larger and heavier doors where a lower-capacity residential opener may not be appropriate.
The opener is not designed to lift the full dead weight of the garage door.
The garage door springs must correctly counterbalance the door so it can be operated safely by hand.
🚪 Up to 300kg Garage Door Weight
B&D specifies the SDO-9V3 for correctly balanced sectional garage doors with a maximum gross door weight of:
- 300kg
Maximum door area:
- 18m²
The 300kg rating refers to the gross weight of the complete garage door and fittings.
Final operator suitability should take into consideration:
- Door Height × Width
- Total door weight
- Door construction
- Insulation
- Cladding weight
- Spring balance
- Track configuration
- Door friction
- Available headroom
📱 Integrated Smart Connectivity
The Smart Pro is designed around B&D’s connected garage door platform.
Smart connectivity allows compatible smartphone control of the garage door through the B&D system.
Depending on the configured app and system features, smart functionality can provide convenient access to functions such as:
- Remote garage door operation
- Door status monitoring
- Access management
- Notifications
- Smart garage functionality
An internet connection and compatible network are required for online smart functions.
🛡️ Safety Beams Included
This complete bundle includes the compatible B&D Safety Beam Kit.
The Safety Beams create a non-contact detection beam across the garage door opening.
If the beam is interrupted while the door is closing, the opener can respond according to its programmed safety operation.
Safety Beams are particularly important where the garage door may be operated remotely when the user does not have direct line of sight to the door.
🔋 Battery Backup Included
The SDO-9V3 Smart Pro Complete Bundle includes battery backup equipment.
Battery backup allows the opener to continue operating for a limited number of cycles during a mains power failure, subject to:
- Battery condition
- Door size and weight
- Door balance
- Operating temperature
- Frequency of operation
This is particularly useful where the garage is a primary access point to the property.
Battery backup capacity should not be treated as an unlimited alternative power supply.
🎮 Two Handheld Transmitters Included
The complete package includes two compatible B&D handheld transmitters.
These provide conventional wireless control of the garage door in addition to the Smart Pro’s connected functionality.
Additional compatible transmitters can be programmed where required.
🎛️ Wireless Wall Control Included
A compatible wall transmitter is also included.
The wall-mounted wireless controller provides a convenient control point inside the garage without requiring a conventional hard-wired wall switch.
This provides quick everyday access to the garage door controls from within the garage.
📡 Multi-Frequency Receiver
The SDO-9V3 incorporates B&D’s multi-frequency receiver technology.
The receiver can store up to:
- 64 four-button transmitter codes
This provides substantial capacity for residential and compatible shared-access applications requiring multiple remote controls.
🔐 B&D AUTO-LOCK™ Compatible
The SDO-9V3 Smart Pro is compatible with B&D AUTO-LOCK™.
AUTO-LOCK™ provides an additional physical locking point at the garage door when used with the appropriate compatible equipment.
This provides another layer of mechanical security beyond the holding force of the garage door opener.
AUTO-LOCK™ should only be considered included where specifically stated as part of the selected package.
🚀 Controlled Door Movement
The Smart Pro provides electronically controlled garage door movement with adjustable operating speeds.
B&D provides Slow, Medium and Fast speed settings, allowing the opener to be configured according to the garage door and installation.
Correct setup helps provide controlled acceleration and deceleration during normal operation.
🪶 Soft Start & Soft Stop
Soft start and soft stop control reduces abrupt movement as the garage door begins and completes its travel.
This provides smoother operation and can reduce unnecessary mechanical shock through the garage door and opener system.
It is particularly beneficial on larger sectional doors where sudden changes in speed can create additional movement through the door structure.
🛑 Electronic Obstruction Detection
The SDO-9V3 incorporates electronic obstruction detection.
The opener monitors the forces associated with garage door movement and can respond when abnormal resistance is detected.
Electronic obstruction detection works together with correct door balance, travel-limit setup and compatible safety equipment.
It is not a substitute for maintaining the garage door in safe mechanical condition.
💡 Dual LED Courtesy Lighting
The Smart Pro incorporates dual LED courtesy lights.
The lights automatically illuminate during garage door operation, providing additional visibility when entering or leaving the garage.
LED technology provides efficient illumination without requiring conventional replaceable incandescent globes.
🐕 PET Mode
PET Mode allows the garage door to be opened to a programmed partial position rather than travelling to the fully open position.
This can be useful where partial garage access is required without completely opening the door.
The function should only be used where appropriate for the particular garage and household environment.
🏖️ Vacation Mode
Vacation Mode provides additional control over transmitter operation when the garage will not be used normally for an extended period.
This can be useful when:
- Travelling
- Leaving the property unattended
- Restricting normal remote operation temporarily
The mode can be activated according to the opener’s operating instructions.
🔄 Auto-Close Capability
The SDO-9V3 supports automatic closing functionality when correctly configured with the required safety equipment.
Auto-Close can automatically close the garage door after a programmed period.
Compatible Safety Beams must be correctly installed and operational where required for automatic closing and remote operation.
📐 Only 57mm Minimum Headroom
B&D specifies a minimum headroom requirement of approximately:
- 57mm
Actual installation requirements depend on the sectional door, C-Rail, ceiling structure and mounting arrangement.
The complete installation should be checked before selecting the opener and rail system.
🛤️ C-Rail Not Included
Part number 101004 is supplied without the C-Rail.
A compatible B&D / ATA C-Rail must be selected separately.
This allows the correct rail to be chosen according to:
- Garage door height
- Available installation space
- Required rail length
- Drive configuration
- Installation requirements
Compatible rail configurations are available in different lengths and drive arrangements.
⛓️ Belt & Chain Rail Compatibility
The SDO-9V3 Smart Pro platform supports compatible B&D / ATA C-Rail configurations using:
- Belt drive
- Chain drive
Compatible steel and aluminium rail configurations are also available.
The appropriate rail should be selected according to the specific garage door and installation.
🔇 Belt Drive Option
A compatible belt-driven rail is an excellent choice where refined and quiet operation is a priority.
This can be particularly useful where the garage is:
- Beneath bedrooms
- Adjacent to living areas
- Integrated into the home
- Used frequently
The belt rail is purchased separately from this 101004 bundle.
⛓️ Chain Drive Option
Compatible chain-driven C-Rails provide a robust conventional drive arrangement for the SDO-9V3.
The appropriate rail type and length should be selected according to the door and installation requirements.
🔧 Ideal for New Installations
The 101004 Complete Bundle is particularly suitable for new garage door installations because it combines the primary Smart Pro automation components into one package.
Simply pair the bundle with the appropriate compatible C-Rail for the garage door height and installation.
♻️ Suitable for Replacement Installations
The SDO-9V3 can also be used when replacing an existing sectional garage door opener.
An existing rail should not automatically be assumed compatible.
When upgrading from another opener, check:
- Existing rail compatibility
- Door balance
- Door weight
- Door area
- Headroom
- Mounting position
- Safety equipment
- Electrical supply
Where required, install a new compatible B&D / ATA C-Rail.
