Installation Overview

Preparation for Installation
There are two installation types for the gate opener, Pull-to-Open and Push- to-Open.
In the Push-to-Open installation, gate opens out from the property. A Push-To- Open Bracket (PSO part) is required to be used for each gate.

NOTE: Ensure the gate does not open into public areas. One more person will help when installing.

The gate opener is mounted to the gate and to the gate post. Both round and square posts can be used because the Post Brackets are curved. When mounting the Post Brackets, use bolts long enough to pass through the entire post. M10 x 200 bolts are included. Concrete anchors are not provided.
When mounting the Post Brackets to wooden posts, a larger-size washer or metal plate should be used between the bolts and the wooden post to ensure the stability of the fastening hardware. If the post is smaller than 6″ diameter or square, it should be made of metal and set in cement to ensure its stability. Install the Opener on the Gate – for Pull to Open
The position of Post Bracket is very important. The following illustrations and tables are required to determine the proper mounting position for the Post Bracket. The tables show the maximum opening angle of the gate for a given A and B. For example, if A is 16cm and B is 14cm, the maximum opening angle of the gate is 110°Pull-to-Open Installation — Gate in Closed position (Moving- Rod is extended)

1. Insert the bolts through the holes of post bracket and post pivot bracket as shown. Place washers and nuts on the bottom of the bolts and hand tighten.
2. Attach the gate bracket and post bracket assy. to the opener by inserting a clevis pin. Secure the clevis pins using the hairpin clips.
3. Open the release hole plug on the top of the gate opener, insert the release key, and turn the key 90° clockwise. This releases the motor and allows the push-pull rod to be manually extended and retracted. To restore normal operation, turn the key 90° counterclockwise.
4. With the opener fully retracted and with the gate in the fully open position (for Pull-to-Open installation), place the opener with the Post Bracket Assy. and Gate Bracket on the gate post and the gate. While holding the gate opener in the level position, temporarily secure it with two C-clamps.
5. Make sure that there is a minimum clearance of 2.5cm between the gate and the opener and that the opener and the Post Pivot Bracket are not binding in both the gate-open and gate-closed positions. If there is not at least 2.5cm of clearance or if the opener and the Post Pivot Bracket are binding, rotate the Post Pivot Bracket and/or move the Post Bracket Assy. to obtain the minimum clearance and eliminate the binding.
6. Sign the bolt-hole point on the gate post and gate. Do this by placing a punch or a sign in the middle of each bolt slot on the post bracket and the gate bracket. It allows slight adjustments to the post bracket. Then remove the opener and brackets assy. by taking off the C-clamps.
7. Drill 10.5 mm diameter holes through the post and the gate at the marked locations.
8. Attach the post bracket assemblies to the gate post by inserting M10 x 200 bolts through each post bracket assy. and the drilled holes in the gate post. Fasten each bolt with one ￠10 washer, one ￠10 lock washer, and one ￠10 nut.
9. Attach the gate brackets to each gate by inserting two M10 x 75 bolts through the gate brackets and the drilled holes in the gates. Fasten each bolt with one ￠10 lock washer, and one ￠10 nut.
10. Cut off any part of the bolts that extend beyond the tightened nuts.
11. With the opener fully retracted and with the gate in the fully open position (for Pull-to-Open installation), insert a clevis pin through the gate opener and the Post Pivot Bracket and insert another clevis pin through the gate opener and the Gate Bracket. Secure each clevis pin with a hairpin clip.
12. Open the release hole plug on the top of the gate opener, insert the release key, and turn the key 90°counterclockwise. This restores normal operation.
    NOTE: The setting of the PULL/PUSH TO OPEN of the control board should be in accordance with the installation.

Mounting of the Control Box

Use 4 deck screws (not provided) to install the control box. Even though the control box is waterproof designed, for safety reason and a longer service life, it is recommended to install the control box inside a secure surface and at least 100 cm (40 inches) above the ground to avoid being flooded or buried under snow.

CAUTION: Make sure the cable outlet hole in the Control Box is always down during installation so as to drain off the water.

Connection of the Power Supply

A 24VDC AC-DC power supply is included in the kit. You can plug it to the AC socket to use it power up the gate opener directly if the AC electricity is accessible. You can also connect a 24VDC back-up battery (2*12VDC, connected in series to become 24VDC) to the power supply if the AC electricity is not stable. In this situation, 5AH battery is enough.
You can also use the batteries as the main power source without the AC electricity. In this situation, you must purchase spare solar panel (at least 20W) to charge the batteries. The solar panel and the batteries can be connected to the UPS-01 power supply easily. And then you can connect the output of the power supply to the gate opener to power up the gate opener system. Marine or Automotive Type Battery with capacity greater than 12 AH is required (NOT INCLUDED). 2 PCS 12VDC batteries can be connected in series to become 24VDC to power up the gate opener. The following diagram will show you how to connect 2 PCS batteries in series. Please note the wire connection of them is very important. Incorrect wire connection will damage the control board. The batteries should be waterproof type or you should place them in water proof housing.
WARNING: NEVER connect the gate opener to the power outlet before all the installations have been done.

Power Mode 1. Only use the AC electricity as the power source
There are 2 male terminals with the LOAD output wires of the UPS-01 power supply and 2 female e terminals with the power input wires of the control box which have been connected to the +BA
T- terminals of the control board. Just plug them together to complete the wire connection. Finally you can plug the power cord to the socket to power on the system. You can leave the SOLAR and BAT wires of the UPS-01 Not Connected in this situation.

Power Mode 2. By AC electricity and back-up batteries, only use the AC electricity to charge the batteries
If the AC electricity failure happens rarely (less than 8 hours per day), then you can use minimum 5AH 2*12VDC batteries as back-up power source in case of AC power failure. In this situation, you can connect the UPS-01 to the control box refer to step 1 in this chapter. And then you can connect 2 PCS 12VDC batteries in series and then connect it to the UPS-01 power supply. Power Mode 3. Use the batteries as the power source, only use the solar panel to charge the batteries
If the AC electricity is not available, then you can choose the batteries as the power source and use the solar panel to charge the batteries. The capacity of the batteries should be at least 12AH and the power of the solar panel should be at least 20W in this situation. The gate opener can run for 10 cycles per day without connecting any other accessories except pushbutton & alarm lamp if the local average sunshine time is more than 6 hours per day. The power of the solar panel and the capacity of the batteries should be enlarged if the local average sunshine time is less than 6 hours per day or using one of the accessories (photocell, external receiver, exit wand and keypad). Please provide us with more details of the local sunshine condition and accessories needs which we can calculate the configuration of the solar panel and the batteries. Please connect the UPS-01 power supply & batteries & the solar panels refer to the following wiring diagram. You can leave the power cord Not Plugged in this situation.

Power Mode 4. By AC electricity and back-up batteries, use the AC electricity and the solar panel to charge the batteries at the same time
If you want to use the solar panel and the AC electricity to charge the batteries at the same time, firstly you can connect the UPS-01 power supply & batteries & the solar panels refer to the above wiring diagram in “Power Mode 3”. Only need one more step, plug the power cord to the AC socket to complete the wire connection. The system will give priority to the use of AC electricity. The power supply will switch to batteries when the AC electricity is outage.

WARNING: Ensure the gate opener is Power Off when you make any adjustment of the gate opener. Keep away from the gate during you set the gate opener system in case of the unexpected gate moving. Carefully adjust the DIP switches to avoid the risk of machine damage and injury or death. Always ask the help of professional technician /electrician if you have any question.

1. DIP Switches
   The DIP switches are used to select pull/push to open, enable/disable auto close function, enable/disable photocell function. DIP Switch #1: Select push/pull to open
   If the gate opens into the property (pull to open), the DIP Switch is set to OFF (factory default setting). If your gate opens out from the property (push to open) the DIP Switch must be set to the ON position.
   Factory default setting is OFF.
   DIP Switch #2: Auto close function enabled/disabled
   ON – Auto close function enabled
   OFF – Auto close function disabled
   Set the switch #2 to ON to enable the auto close function. Factory default setting is OFF.
   Important Note: When the auto close function is enabled, the photocell sensor is highly recommended to be installed with the gate opener for safety.
   DIP Switch #3: Photocell function enabled/disabled
   ON – Photocell function enabled
   OFF – Photocell function disabled
   You must set the switch #3 to ON to enable the photocell function if you want to use the photocell with the gate opener. Factory default setting is OFF

2. Potentiometers
   There are 3 potentiometers located in the control board. They are used to adjust the stall force, auto-close time and soft stop period. Potentiometer A is used to adjust the stall force the gate opener. Turn the potentiometer clockwise to increase the stall force, and turn it counter- clockwise to decrease the stall force.
   Potentiometer B is used to adjust the auto close time of the gate opener. Turn the potentiometer clockwise to increase the auto close time, and turn it counter-clockwise to decrease the auto close time. The auto close time can be adjusted gradually from 3 to 120 seconds.
   Potentiometer C is used to adjust the soft stop period of the gate opener. Turn the potentiometer clockwise to increase the soft stop period, and turn it counter-clockwise to decrease the soft stop period. The soft stop period can be adjusted gradually from 1 to 5 seconds.

Maintenance

Warning: Disconnect power before servicing.

1. Using a clean, dry cloth to wipe the gate opener shaft, and then apply a silicone spray to reduce its friction. In cold climates where temperatures reach 1°C (30°F) or less, spray silicone on the actuator every 4~6 weeks to prevent freeze up.
2. Regularly check gate hinges to make sure gate is swinging smoothly and freely. Grease hinges if needed.
3. Check your installation periodically, as hardware and posts will shift. Brackets may need to be adjusted or hardware may need to be tightened.
4. Maintain the area around your gate. Keep the areas free of objects that can prevent the gate swinging freely.

NOTES:

1. Inspection and service should always be performed anytime a malfunction is observed or suspected.
2. It is suggested that while at the site voltage readings be taken at the operator. Using a Digital Voltmeter, verify that the incoming voltage to the opener it is within ten percent of the opener’s rating.
3. Refer to the instructions on how to check gate force and sensitivity adjustments.

Trouble Shooting

Have a multi-meter to check voltage and continuity. Use caution when checking high voltage terminals.

The opener does not run. Power LED does not ON. The UPS01 has been connected to the gate opener control box.

| 1.   Make sure the connection between the UPS01 and control box is correct and fastening.

2.   Make sure the UPS01 power supply has been plugged into the AC main socket or the batteries (2*12V batteries connected in series) have been connected to the UPS01 well.

3.   Battery is over-discharge if you only use batteries with the UPS01 to power up the gate opener. The voltage of the battery should above 22V to make the gate opener work normally. Please wait the battery to be charged above 22VDC.

4.   Check the output of UPS01. If the output of UPS01 is measured below 21VDC and the voltage of the batteries is above 22VDC or the power cord has been plugged into the socket well, then the UPS01 is defective.

5.   Check the fuse in the control board. Replace the fuse if it was burnt out.

6.   Check the control board. Replace the control board if necessary.

Gate moves a little and then reverse or stop

| 1.   The selected force is too small to move the gate. Turn the Potentiometer clock-wise to increase the force.

2.   Disconnect the gate from the gate operator and check that the gate slides freely without any binding.

Gate opener does not run when you press the remote control

| 1.   Make sure the remote has been programmed to the control board before using.

2.    The battery of the remote may be exhausted. Replace the battery and try it again.

3.   Check if the limit switch is broken. Remove the BLUE&GREEN&YELLOW wires of the arm from the control board and use a jumper wire to short the ULT&COM&DLT terminals of the control board which for connecting the three wires and then try it again. The limit switch of the arm is faulty if the arm could run normally.

4.   The control board could be faulty. Replace the control board as necessary.

Gate can open but does not close

| 1.   Make sure the connection of the photocell beam is not blocked if the photocell is used.

2.           Check if the closed limit switch is broken. Remove the BLUE&GREEN&YELLOW wires of the arm from the control board and use a jumper wire to short the ULT&COM&DLT terminals of the control board which for connecting the three wires and then try it again. The limit switch of the arm is faulty if the arm could run normally.

3.   The control board could be faulty. Replace the control board as necessary.

Gate automatically opens, but does not automatically close| ****

1. Setting of DIP switch #1 would be wrong. Please set the dip switch correctly according to the push/pull to opener installation of the gate opener.
