Preparation for Installation

Before proceeding to your opener installation, check if your gate structure is in accordance with the current standards, especially as follows:
The gate sliding track is linear and horizontal. The wheels are suitable for use. The gate should be mounted and moved freely. Check that the structure is sufficiently strong and rigid and that its dimensions and weights conform to those listed in the specifications table of this document. Make sure that the gate is plumb and level. The fence posts must be mounted in concrete. The gate does not bind or drag on the ground.

The gate manual operation can be carried out smoothly throughout its entire run, and there is no excessive side slipping.
The opening and closing gate stops are positioned.

WARNING: Remember that control devices are intended to facilitate gate operation, but can not solve problems due to any defects or deficiencies resulting from failure to carry out correct installation or maintenance.
Take the product out of its packing and inspect it for damage. Should it be damaged, contact your dealer.
Remember to dispose of its components (cardboard, polystyrene, nylon, etc.) according to the current prescriptions.
Refer to the following Figures for gate installation.
Using the post or wall as a stop, either directly or indirectly, is not recommended so as to protect the post or wall against damaging shock from the sliding gate.

Installation Overview

Installation of the Opener

Caution:
*Be sure that the opener is installed in a level and paralleled position and is properly secured.
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 panels are present.
Necessary Tools: The following tools may be necessary to install the Gate opener. You will need screwdrivers, an electric drill, wire cutters, and 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:

Dig a hole for a concrete pad which should be approximately 47 x 40 x 35cm (18.5 〞x 16 〞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.
Prepare one or more conduits for the electrical cables before pouring concrete. Remember that cable conduits have to pass through the hole in the base plate.
Pour the concrete and before it starts to harden, check that it is parallel to the gate leaf and perfectly level.
The four anchor bolts must be set into the concrete when it is poured, make sure the position of the anchor bolts was placed according to the position of mounting holes on the base plate before the concrete becomes hardened.
Mount the base plate to the concrete Pad. It’s only a temporary installation. The further adjustment will be required when installing the chain.

Manual Operation

The opener should be put in the manual (emergency release) position before fitting the chain and installing the opener and limit switch. The process is as follows:

Push the cover in the arrow direction, and now the key slot appears.
Insert the release Key into the key slot and turn it in counter-clockwise at 90° to disengage the clutch between the gear shaft and power output. Now the opener is in manual operation.

Fit the Rack

Fit the galvanized steel rack

Start with a gate in the closed position
Prepare the gear rack (you can order an extra rack from the dealer if necessary).
Put one end of the rack section on the gear of the opener as temporary support.
Make rack level and mark the rack’s mounting holes (three holes) on the gate.
Weld the rack nut on the gate as mark and connect the rack to the gate using the bolt provided. Before welding, please keep a 1.0mm space between the rack and the gear to avoid the weight of the gate leaf effect on the opener.

Important:

Adjust the opener’s height by using a long washer if necessary.
Check that the rack teeth must engage the gear teeth throughout their full thickness. If not, adjust the position of the opener or/and place a few shims between the rack and gate.
Manually slide the gate leaf to ensure the rack is proper on the gear of the opener, and weld the second nut.
Repeat the same steps of the first rack section to install the rest rack sections until the proper length is reached.
Cut away any excess of the rack (Note: rack length must be longer than the actual travel of the gate to accommodate limit switch brackets on each gate side.)
Thoroughly fasten the four nuts as well as spring washers onto the expansion bolt tightly, enabling the opener is firmly secured on the concrete pad during the whole gate travel.

Install the magnets for Limit Switches

Before installing the limit switch, make sure the gate opener is put in manual operation. (the clutch connected with gear shaft is disengaged) and the mains power supply is disconnected.
Position the two limits to stop brackets approximately on the rack 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 higher magnet bracket must be installed on the left side and the lower magnet bracket must be installed at the right side from the view inside of the property. Finally, adjust the magnet to the proper position by moving the gate with the motor. The magnet should be 20-30mm (0.8-1.2”) away from the magnetic limit switch.
If it is too far away, the switch will fail to work. The distance between the magnet and the opener should be 10-15mm with the opener cover on. Adjust the position of the magnet until the positions of the opening and closing meet the requirement.
Important Note: Please note the two magnet brackets (fixed plate) are different: one is higher and the other is lower.
Warning: Improper magnets installation may cause the gate to crash into the end barrier, which is very dangerous!

Connecting of 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 3×2mm2 (3C×14AWG). Connect the live wire and neutral wire to the “L” (1#) and “N” (3#) terminal of the control board respectively, and connect the earth wire to “the” (2#) terminal of the control board.
