Overall Product Dimensions

Technical Specifications

Cabling Requirements

• For distances under five meters, 0.5mm² cable (ripcord) can be used. However, it is strongly recommended that cable with a thickness of at least 1mm² be used for distances greater than five meters, to compensate for any drops in voltage that may be incurred. For distances greater than 10m it is recommended that a thickness of 1.5mm² be used.
• Use rubber grommets when passing through steel to stop the cable from rubbing and breaking/short circuiting.
• Crimp the supplied female bullet connectors to the supply cables.
• Ensure that no loose cables will come into contact with any part of the locking mechanism at any time.

Swing Gates

Single Leaf
The cables are routed from the controller along the pillar and up to where the lock is mounted, as illustrated below.

Double Leaf
It is advisable to always mount the GLX900 Lock on the gate leaf that is closest to the control box as shown in the illustration below. Route the cables from the control box to where the lock is mounted, via the frame of the gate so as to conceal the wires and prevent criminals from simply cutting them .

Sliding Gates

• Option One
• Option Two

GLX900 Lock Installation

Required Tools and Equipment
To install the GLX900 Lock, the following tools and equipment will be needed;

• Small grinder with steel cutting disc
• Flat steel file
• Power drill with 5mm drill bit
• Blind rivet tool/gun
• Connector crimping tool
• Welding equipment

General Site Considerations

1. Decide on which side of the post you wish to install the gate lock.
2. Note that there are two types of locks available.
3. In order to determine which orientation is required for your installation, stand inside the property and face the gate.

Possible Orientations
The GLX900 Lock comes in two variants. Determination of which variant to use will depend upon preference and the practicality of the site in which the GLX900 Lock is being installed. Below are possible scenarios in which both variants can be used.

• In all the below scenarios, the point of view is from inside the property looking out to the road.
• The barrel lock of the GLX900 must always face the inside of the property and the latch must always be orientated downward at the bottom of the lock.

Type 1
Swing Gates (Inward and Outward swinging)

• Double-leaf swing gate. The lock is mounted on the right leaf, and the Gate Staple mouted on the left leaf.
• Single-leaf swing gate, hinged on the left.
  The lock is mounted into a catch post on the right, and the Gate Staple mouted to the gate.

Sliding Gates

• The Gate Operator on the right-hand side with the gate closing to the left. The Lock is mounted on the closing-side catch post if the catch post is outside the property.
• The Gate Operator is on the right-hand side with the gate closing to the left. The Lock is mounted on the opening-side catch post if the catch post is outside the property.
• The Gate Operator is on the left-hand side with the gate closing to the right. The Lock is mounted on the closing-side catch post if the catch post is inside the property.
• The Gate Operator is on the left-hand side with the gate closing to the right. The Lock is mounted on the opening-side catch post if the catch post is inside the property.

Type 2
Swing Gates (Inward and Outward swinging)

• Double-leaf swing gate. The lock is mounted on the left leaf, and the Gate Staple mouted on the right leaf.
• Single-leaf swing gate, hinged on the right.
  The lock is mounted into a catch post on the left, and the Gate Staple mouted to the gate.

Sliding Gates

• The Gate Operator on the Left-hand side with the gate closing to the right. The Lock is mounted on the closing-side catch post if the catch post is outside the property.
• The Gate Operator is on the left-hand side with the gate closing to the right. The Lock is mounted on the opening-side catch post if the catch post is outside the property.
• The Gate Operator is on the right-hand side with the gate closing to the left. The Lock is mounted on the closing-side catch post if the catch post is inside the property.
• The Gate Operator is on the right-hand side with the gate closing to the left. The Lock is mounted on the opening-side catch post if the catch post is inside the property.

Mounting the GLX900 Lock

• The Gate Staple poses a safety risk, as it could potentially injure a person in the path of the gate
• When the installation is complete, push the gate closed
• When testing, the lock will disengage upon triggering and the gate will proceed to move in the opening direction
• The gate post should have minimum dimensions of 50mm x 50mm and maximum wall thickness of 2mm.
• If your gate posts do not meet these minimum requirements, it is strongly recommended that the mounting box be purchased.

Using the template provided, mark and cut the corner of the gate / post in the position you wish to install the lock, and drill the twelve 5mm blind rivet holes.
Connect the pair of wires to the lock. Depending on the operator being used, the specified DC Voltage should be obtained either from the gate motor’s remote control receiver or from the controller itself.

The pulse duration must be set to a minimum of one second. In situations where the pulse duration is shorter than our minimum specified by using the existing remote receiver or controller, a pulse-stretcher or similar timing device or a relay card MUST be used. However, a current-limiting interface card is integrated into the lock to prevent over-current from damaging the lock’s internal actuator.

• The lock must be installed vertically with the arrows on the back plate pointing upwards. If the lock is not installed vertically with the correct orientation, it will not operate reliably.
• Care must be taken not to leave excessive slack on the cables as this will electrically strain the actuator which in turn could lead to the release system failing.

Fit the lock in the desired location, and use the twelve stainless steel pop rivets that were provided to secure the lock. The use of aluminium pop rivets will result in a weaker lock installation.

Mounting the Gate Staple into position

To determine the position of the Gate Staple, the gate must be in a fully- closed position. Insert the staple into the GLX900 Lock and then mark where the bracket should be before welding it into its final position.
Weld the Gate Staple onto either the gate or the post in the desired position. Allow for clearance for possible movement in the gate over time.

Once the Gate Staple is welded into position, it is highly recommended to paint the welded areas with suitable paint to prevent corrosion.

Wiring

V-Series Controller

Connecting the GLX900 to a CP80 Board

• Connect the 12V supply from the CP80 to the GLX900’s IN+
• Connect a shorting wire between the CP80’s Com and Light_B Terminal

Ensure that all items are secure. Test the GLX900 Lock by activating the remote control. The lock should release for a sufficient duration (minimum of 1 second) to allow the Gate Operator to start opening the gate

Maintenance

The lock is installed outside where it is exposed to the elements, which may degrade the lock over time. Periodic maintenance of the GLX900 Lock is suggested in order to keep the lock functioning optimally and to increase the operating life of the product.
It is recommended to generously spray lubricants such as Q20 / WD40 or an equivalent alternative up through the opening of the lock and into the front of the barrel lock every 6 months
