The Simple control panel has become the go-to solution for many garage door installers, and for good reason.
As the name suggests, it focuses on what matters most: simple installation, simple setup, and simple operation.
Affordable, reliable, and easy to configure, it’s an ideal choice for residential roller garage doors and straightforward automation projects.
But while the panel itself is simple, building the ideal kit around it ensures every installation is perfectly tailored to the customer’s needs. Here’s how to get the most from your setup.
The Core Features of Simple Panel
The Simple panel delivers everything needed for standard roller door automation:
Wired safety edge compatibility
Selectable impulse or deadman control
Adjustable auto-close (5 seconds – 3 minutes)
Up to 32 handsets
230 VAC supply

IP20 rating
It comes supplied with:
Two TVMIO868P02 transmitters (2 channel)
Pre-wired mains cable (3pin plug with 1.5m of cable)
Additional glands for motor and safety edge spiral cable
This makes installation quick and efficient straight out of the box.
Safety Edge Exclusion
One standout feature is safety edge exclusion, allowing the edge to deactivate within 50 mm of the floor.
This is especially useful on:
Uneven floors
Sloped garages
Applications where full closure is difficult
It ensures the door always fully closes without nuisance triggering.
The Simple panel includes two TVMIO-P02 (2-channel hand transmitters), but many installations benefit from additional or alternative controls.
