GATE FITTING
The gate fitting must be installed so that it is horizontal
relative to the post bracket. The distance between the gate
bracket and post bracket is referred to as the "arm span".
When the gate is closed, the drive mechanism is 99%
extended. When the gate is opened, the drive mechanism is
1% extended. Fully retracting or extending the
plunger/spindle in operation (with gate) damages the drive
mechanism and voids the warranty. It is absolutely imperative
to comply with the required arm span under all
circumstances!
For steel gates, fixings should be welded on or through
bolted. When through bolting the gate, use large washers or
a plate on the other side. The drive mechanism exerts an
extremely high force on this joint.
Fixings must be through bolted for wooden gates. It is
recommended that metal plates be fitted on either side of the
gate, to prevent the fixings from becoming loose. (i.e. Type
2F)
RELEASE
The drive mechanism can be released. The gate can then be
opened and operated manually (power failure). With a new
drive mechanism, the release action may sometimes feel
stiff/jerky. This is normal and has no effect on function.
Release and Engage
Place the hexagonal key into the hole provided in the cover.
Engage or disengage the motor.
INSTALLING THE DRIVE ARMS
Release the drive. Push the released drive onto the
fittings and secure it by using the supplied bolts and
rings.
WIRING
The 3-pole connecting cable is approx. 80 cm long and is laid
in a curve to the controller or a watertight distribution box
located above ground. An approved cable is permanently
installed from the distribution box onwards. The capacitor can
be connected inside the distribution box or in the controller.
Connection: Connect the capacitor across terminals CL and
OP. CL and COM produce rotation direction A. OP and COM
produce reversed direction of rotation. Always remember to
earth the installation.
MAINTENANCE WORK
The drive mechanism is maintenance free. Check that the gate
fittings and the drive mechanism are securely fixed at regular
intervals (monthly). Release the drive and check that the gate
functions properly. Unless the gate runs smoothly it will not
operate correctly with the drive mechanism. The drive cannot
eliminate the problems caused by a gate that does not work
satisfactorily.
