Installation Overview

Installation of the Opener

Installation of 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 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 Warning Signs 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 install the opener, you should build a concrete pad to support the base plate of opener in order to maintain proper stability.

The installation proceeds are as follows:

Dig a hole for a concrete pad which should be approximately 60 x 36 x 35cm (24〞x 14〞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 pour concrete. Remember that cable conduits have to pass through the hole in the base plate.
Pour 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 anchor bolts was placed according to the position of mounting holes on the base plate before concrete become harden.
Mount the base plate to the concrete Pad. It’s only temporary installation. Further adjustment will be required when install the chain.
Mount the chain box to the base plate by using screws and washers, don’t make the four screws too tight.

Manual Operation

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

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

Installation of chain and chain brackets

Chain Brackets
Chain Brackets Installation

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

How to install the chain
chain Installation

Place the chain around the top of the idler wheels and under the drive sprocket in chain box.
Connect a chain bolt to one end of chain from chain box by using master link. Then insert the chain bolt to the L bracket and fix them each other by washers and nuts temporarily. (Nuts will be further adjusted for a proper chain tension later)
Connect second chain bolt with another end of chain from chain box, then attach bolt to the L bracket on opposite end of gate using the washers and nuts.
Make sure that the chain is line up exactly with the position where the chain on the chain idler wheel.
Set appropriated chain tension by adjusting two chain bolts of the both end. Cut the unwanted length of chain if necessary.
Fix the base plate by tightening the washers and nuts.
Insert the opener shaft into the drive sprocket of chain box. Mount the opener by tightening the bolts and washers.
Fix the chain box by tightening the four lax screws.

* Thoroughly fasten the four nuts as well as spring washers onto anchor bolts tightly, enabling the opener is firmly secured on the concrete pad during the whole gate travel.

Check position of opener and chain brackets

The chain brackets must be mounted to the same height as the chain on the idler wheels.
The opener must be parallel to the gate.
Make sure there is 1” distance at least between the chain box and the gate after you position the base plate.

Install the magnets for Limit Switches

Before install 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 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 lower magnet bracket must be installed at left side and higher magnet bracket must be installed at right side from the view inside of 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 crash into end barrier, which is very dangerous !

Setting of the Control Board

Control Board Setting

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.

DIP Switches

The DIP switches are used to set the running time of the motor in midway mode, auto close time of the gate opener and fast change the open/close direction which is determined by the position of the gate opener installed.

DIP Switch #1–#2: Running time of the motor in Midway Mode
This mode enables user to drive the vehicle through the gate quickly when the gate opens to certain width.
DIP Switch #1: ON – 4 Seconds OFF – 0
DIP Switch #2: ON – 2 Seconds OFF – 0

NOTE: The midway mode function would be disabled if both DIP switches are turned off. 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.

E.g. Control Board Setting Running time of the operator in midway mode is 4+2=6 seconds.

DIP Switch #3–#4: Auto close time of the gate opener
DIP Switch #3: ON – 30 Seconds OFF – 0
DIP Switch #4: ON – 60 Seconds OFF – 0

NOTE: The auto close function would be disabled if both dip switches are turned to off (factory default setting).

E.g. Control Board Setting Auto close time of the gate operator is 30+60=90 seconds.

DIP Switch #5: Left/Right open
ON – Right open (factory default setting).
OFF – Left open. Turn switch OFF to change the opening direction easy if necessary.
