Installation Overview

Installation of the Opener

Caution:

• Be sure that the opener is installed in a level and paralleled position. Improper installation could result in property damage, severe injury, and/or death.
• Before starting the installation, ensure that there is no point of friction during the entire movement of the gate and there is no danger of derailment.
• Ensure that the safety side rollers are present. Necessary Tools: The following tools may be necessary to install the Gate opener. You will need screwdrivers, an electric drill, wire cutters, a wire stripper, a socket set, and possibly access to a welder.

When installing the opener, you should build a concrete pad to support the base plate of the opener in order to maintain proper stability.

The installation proceeds are as follows:

1. Assemble the Base Plate and fix the Opener to the Base Plate.
2. Dig a hole for a concrete pad which should be approximately 60 x 32 x 35cm (24〞x 13〞x 14〞). It may protrude 10 cm (4”) above ground and 25 cm (10”) in depth underground. Increase the pad height if necessary to protect the system from flooding, heavy snow, etc.
3. Prepare one or more conduits for the electrical cables before pouring concrete. Remember that cable conduits have to pass through the hole on the base.
4. Pour the concrete and before it starts to harden, check that it is parallel to the gate leaf and perfectly level.
5. Mark the position of four expansion anchors according to the position of the mounting hole on the base plate. Double-check your marking, move the base plate, and drill the 4 holes using a 14mm (9/16”) masonry bit. Put the 4 expansion anchors (provided) into the holes and firmly tighten.
6. Mount the base plate to the concrete Pad and firmly tighten it, enabling the opener to be firmly secured on the concrete pad during the whole gate travel.

Manual Operation

You can open the gate by manual when power fails. And the opener should be put in the manual (emergency release) position before fitting the rack and installing the opener and limit switch. The process is as follows:
Insert the Release Key and turn it clockwise 90°, then pull the release handle clockwise 90° to disengage the clutch between the gear shaft and motor. Now the opener is in manual operation.

Installation of chain and chain brackets

Chain Brackets

1. Please refer to the below chain brackets figure, which shows the “U” bolt, “L” bracket, and chain bolt. Use the “U” bolts (square or round) to attach the chain brackets to the gate ramp.
2. If Both the square bolts and round bolts are not fit the gate frame, use the appropriate bolts to attach the chain brackets to the gate frame.

How to install the chain

1.  Place the chain around the top of the idler wheels and under the drive sprocket in the chain box.
2. Connect a chain bolt to one end of the chain from the chain box by using the master link. Then insert the chain bolt to the L bracket and fix them each other with washers and nuts temporarily. (Nuts will be further adjusted for a proper chain tension later)
3. Connect the second chain bolt with another end of the chain from the chain box, then attach the bolt to the L bracket on the opposite end of the gate using the washers and nuts.
4. Make sure that the chain is lined up exactly with the position where the chain is on the chain idler wheel.
5. Remove the unwanted length of the chain. Set appropriated chain tension by adjusting two chain bolts of both ends.
6. The chain brackets must be mounted to the same height as the chain on the idler wheels.
7. Make sure there is a 1” distance at least between the wheel cover and the gate after you position the base plate.

Installation of the Magnets

Before installing the limit switch, make sure the gate opener is put in manual operation. (the clutch connected with the gear shaft is disengaged) and the mains power supply is disconnected. Position the two Magnet Components approximately on the gate and move the gate by hand to fix them in place.
Fit magnets bracket
Push the gate fully closed by hand. Locate and install the magnet bracket so that the opener will stop at the desired close position when the close limit switch approaches it.
Push the gate fully open by hand. Locate and install the magnet bracket so that the opener will stop at the desired open position when the open limit switch approaches it.
The magnet component with the N pole must be installed on the left side and the magnet component with the S pole must be installed on the right side from the view inside of the property.
Ensure the magnet center aligns with the marked line above!
The magnets should be 25~30mm away from the Limit Switch Box. If it is too near or too far, the switches will fail to work. Adjust the position of the magnets until the positions of the opening and closing meet the requirement.
Warning: Improper magnets installation may cause the gate to crash into the end barrier, which is very dangerous!

connecting Power Supply

WARNING: NEVER connect the gate opener to the power outlet before all the installations have been done.
The power supply cord should be at least 3×0.75mm2(3C×18AWG). Connect the live wire and neutral wire to the “L” (2) and “N” (1) terminal of the control board respectively, and connect the earth wire to “PE”.
NOTE: The power supply cord is not included in the package.

The setting of the Control Board

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

1. DIP Switches
   The DIP switches are used to set the running time of the motor in pedestrian mode, enable/disable the auto-close function of the gate operator, and fast change the open/close direction which is determined by the position of the gate operator installed.
   DIP Switch #1–#2: Running time of the motor in Midway Mode
   DIP Switch #1: ON – 2 Seconds OFF – 0
   DIP Switch #2: ON – 4 Seconds OFF – 0 NOTE: The midway mode function would be disabled if both DIP switches are turned off. The factory default setting is disabled. The midway mode could be activated by pressing button B of the remote control when the gate is in the full closed position.DIP Switch #3: Auto close function enabled/disabled
   DIP Switch #3: ON – auto close function enabled OFF –auto close function disabled 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 #4: Left/Right Open

2. Potentiometers
   Potentiometers A and B are used to adjust the stall force and auto-close time of the gate operator separately. Turn potentiometer A clockwise to increase the stall force, and turn it counter-clockwise to decrease the stall force.

WARNING: Photocell is highly recommended to be installed with the gate opener as entrapment protection for safety when you set stall force to the maximum. Turn potentiometer B clockwise to increase the auto close time, and turn it counter-clockwise to decrease the auto close time, the auto close time could be adjusted gradually from 1 to 99 seconds.

Test the Reversing Sensitivity

For the sake of safety, it is very important to test the reversing sensitivity as soon as the control board set is finished.
The reversing sensitivity adjustment is an inverse correlation with stall force adjustment in potentiometer A. In another word, the stall force level is higher; the reversing sensitivity level is lower.
Put an immobile object along the gate path, and then operate the gate to strike it during the close cycles. The gate must reverse as soon as the object is struck with it. If the gate doesn’t reverse, please increase the reversing sensitivity by turning the potentiometer A in a counter-clockwise direction. (Turning the stall force potentiometer toward to MIN position to increase the reversing sensitivity)
Note 1: If the sensitivity setting is too higher, the gate will stop or reverses very easily by itself while there is little obstruction or resistance such as strong wind or heavy snow sometimes.
Note 2: Always check the gate reversing function every time of control board is set or restarted after powering off.

How to Program or Erase the Remote

• The remote MUST be programmed to the opener BEFORE OPERATING. Please follow the steps to program the remote.
• Activate the opener only when the gate is in full view, free of obstruction, and properly adjusted. No one should enter or leave the gate area while the gate is in motion. DO NOT ALLOW CHILDREN to operate the push button or remote. DO NOT ALLOW CHILDREN TO PLAY NEAR THE GATE.
