• The gate opener requires you to press the remote control once to open, and once again to close. This is a safety feature to ensure safe operation.
• The gate opener itself must be fitted within private property, never externally to a property’s boundary.
• Any work done to the gate opener must be completed whilst the power is off and the opener is unplugged.
• Any modifications/alterations/works to AC power components must only be completed by a licensed electrician.

Tools Required

• Tape measure
• Level
• 12mm concrete drill and hammer (when using expansion screws)
• Phillips head screwdriver
• Straight screwdriver

Example Sliding Gate

Please ensure that the gate opener power cable is not plugged in at any stage before Step 8.

Step 1 – Gate Preparation

• Ensure that the sliding gate is correctly installed.
• The gate is horizontal and level and the gate can glide back and forth smoothly when moved by hand before installing the gate opener.
• Wheels and guide rollers should rotate easily and be free from dirt or grime.
• The track should be flat, level, and firmly affixed.
• Any misalignment in the gate will affect the performance of the automatic gate opener.

Step 2 – Checking Manual Release

• Insert the key and open the manual release bar to enable the motor to get into manual mode and check that the motor output gear rotates freely by hand (Figure 6).

Step 3 – Removing / Installing Motor Cover

• Unscrew the two cover screws located at each side of the motor cover.
• Remove the rubber grommet below the limit switch (Figure 7).
• Please Note: the rubber grommet must be fitted back onto the motor cover once the cover has been re-fitted/replaced onto the base of the motor.

Step 4 – Motor Pad Footing

• The motor pad concrete footing requires an area of no less than 450mm long x 300mm wide and a minimum depth of 200mm (Standard requirement).
• Ensure the surface is level and parallel to the driveway.

Step 5 – Fitting Mounting Plate and Motor Without Mounting Plate

• Fit anchor bolts according to holes in the motor base (as per Figure 9).
• Bolt motor to its base using the M10 bolts with spring and flat washers provided and tighten as required. (The height can be slightly adjusted by bottom bolts as per Figure 10).

Figure 10

• The bolts and flat washer between the mounting plate and motor base are used for adjusting the height of the motor.

Fitting Motor

• Fit motor and mounting plate(if with) on the concrete footing.
• Ensure the motor output gear and gear rack are correctly aligned. The gear and gear rack should be centered as much as possible.
• Take the motor away from the mounting plate.

Step 6 – Gear Rack & Motor Alignment

• See Figure 15 for the recommended gear rack mounting height.
• Ensure that the output gear has a minimum clearance of 1-2mm along the entire length of the gear rack fitted to the gate (as per Figure 12)
• Ensure the output gear and gear rack are correctly aligned. Under no circumstances should the gate opener output gear carry any weight of the gate.
• It is the task of the gate castors or wheels to carry the weight of the gate (as per Figure 12).
• If the gate doesn’t slide freely by hand, adjust the height of the gear rack accordingly until the full length of the gate slides freely by hand.

Step 7 – Limit Switch Stops

• Included in your gate opener kit are two limit switch stops which must be fitted to the gear racks on your gate to ensure safe operation.
• The limit switch stops are designed to set the desired opening and closing position of your gate.
• These limit switch stops are designed to come into contact with the spring/magnetic limit switch.
• It is extremely dangerous that incorrect installation of the limit switch stops can cause the crash of the gate, and damage to the internal structure of the motor, moreover, the gate may slide off the guide rail.

Setting the Limit Switch Stops Closed Position

• Position gate 150-200mm back from the gate end catch closed position.
• This will help in making sure you do not slam the gate into the end stop/catch when setting the closed position under power.
• Fit limit switch stops onto the top of the gear rack at the point where it meets the Spring/Magnetic limit switch on the motor.
• Tighten the locking screws of the limit switch stop.

Open Position

• Position gate 150-200mm back from the gate stop open position. This will help in making sure you do not slam the gate into the end stop/catch when setting the open position under power.
• The fit limit switch stops on the top of the gear rack at the point where it meets the Spring/Magnetic limit switch on the motor.
• Tighten the locking screws of the limit switch stop.
• Test the spring/magnetic limit switch stops by moving the gate manually until you hear a click, making sure contact is made with the spring/magnetic limit switch on the motor.
• To Reset: Turning the power off will reset the limit switch stop memory.
• Power on the gate opener again, pressing the remote control or external push button switch to open and then close the gate once, then the new limit switch stop setting is completed.

Step 8 – Powering on

• Ensure that the outer cover has been fitted and fastened back onto the motor base.
• Before powering up the gate opener make sure the gate can travel by hand in manual mode (key unlocked).
• Slide the gate to between the middle of the posts, approximately (see below diagrams).
• Lock the manual release spanner (key locked) in readiness for automatic mode.
• Plug the power cord into an approved RCD-protected weatherproof outlet.
• Remote controls included in this kit are factory-paired paired and ready for use.

Step 9 – Travel Learning

• Attention: The control board must learn the travel limit before it can be used normally.
• Before the travel learning operation, you must ensure that the limit is not triggered. Then press and hold the button WORK. The motor will run closing first and lead to CLOSING flashes.
• After the gate triggers the closing limit, the motor will run opening and led OPENING flashes. When the gate triggers the opening limit, the motor will run closing again. Finally, as the gate triggers the closing limit, travel learning is completed.
• Now the basic open and closed positions are set, for further setting functions and adjusting parameters, please refer to pages 17-22 in this manual.
