 Installation Steps

Preparation before Main Machine Installation
Before installing the door opener, please confirm that the door were installed correctly, please ensure that the door can be manually operated smoothly, and the door limit stopper can effectively prevent the door to continue moving. Please keep a distance of 40-50mm between the door bottom and the ground for installing the electric lock. If electric lock is not required, the distance between the door bottom and the ground should be ≥20mm; The recommended mounting height of the 2 main machines is around 300 ~ 800mm above the ground, and make sure there are reliable fixed points for mounting brackets.

Cable bury
In order to ensure the normal operation of the door opener and protect the cable from damage, please use two PVC pipes to bury the motor and power cables, and the control cables separately. One PVC pipe for motor and power cables, the other one for control cables.

Mounting brackets fixing
In order to install the SW400DC main machines firmly, it is recommended to use the expansion screws to fix the mounting brackets.

Accessory Installation

•  Before installing the main machines, please install the wall bracket on the wall first, then fix the connecting bracket, finally install the front mounting bracket on the door. Note: Please detect by gradienter before fixing to ensure that the front mounting bracket and the connecting bracket are in the same level.

• The connecting bracket and wall bracket can be connected according to different conditions, please refer .

• Users should prepare power cables for the control box and the main machines by themselves due to the different installation environment. The cores for the control box power supply cable should be more than 3, the cores for the motor cable is 2. If users need to install external accessories like electric lock, infrared sensor, alarm lamp, external button switch etc., please increase the embedded cables accordingly, please make sure the sectional diameter of electric lock cable is over 1.5mm², sectional diameter of other cables is over 0.5mm². The cable length should be determined by users according to their installation situations.
  Note: The outlet on the PVC pipe should be downward in order to avoid the rain water flowing into the pipe along the cable.

• Before the installation, please unlock the two main machines. Unlock method: Remove the cover, insert the manual release bar, rotate the bar until it’s released, as shown in Figure 6, then turn the telescopic arm, you’ll find it is stretched easily.

Main Machine Installation

to fix the tail of the main machine and the connecting bracket with the installation screws, and then manually adjust the telescopic arm to the appropriate length, finally fix the telescopic arm connector and the front mounting bracket with the installation screws. Pull the door after installation to ensure the travel is flexible without jamming.

Warning

• To ensure safety, please install the limit stopper at the close limit position when the door opens inward .
• Before installing the main machine, please make sure the main machine and components are in good mechanical performance and the door can be manually operated flexibly.
•  One control unit can optionally drive one main machine or two main machines.
•  Earth leakage circuit breaker must be installed on where the gate movement can be seen, and the minimum mounting height for the control box should be over 1.5m to avoid being touched by kids.
•  After installation, please check whether the mechanical property is good or not, whether gate movement is flexible or not after unlocking, and whether the infrared sensor (optional) is installed correctly and effectively.

Control Board Drawing and Instructions

Digital Screen Setting

When the control board is working, the users can check working state of gate opener by digital screen on the control board.

• : no input;
• : under opening state;
• :under closing state;
• : error;
• :manual mode;
• :travel setting;

Travel Setting (VERY IMPORTANT)
In the first installation of gate openers, the installer need to set open and closed limit switch positions for running the travel. Fully open both sides of the gate and lock the clutch, and then press and hold the “-” button on the control board until the digital screen shows “SU”. After this step, the gate will firstly run towards the closing direction and stop, and then the gate will automatically open. When the two swing gates are fully open, the gates will automatically close for the second time, and the travel setting will be completed when the gates are closed. If the distance of starting slow speed of gate is not appropriate, adjust the “SLOW DOWN ” button to revise the distance. Note:

•  If the gate suddenly stops during travel setting, please increase the resistance force.
•  If the gate didn’t stop when meets the obstacles during travel setting, please appropriately reduce the resistance force.
• Installer must redo travel setting after modifying the “SPEED” trimmer.

Trimmers Setting

Obstacle Sensibility Trimmer
To adjust the sensitivity of obstacle — clockwise to increase, counterclockwise to reduce the sensitivity of obstacle. If there are environmental effects, such as heavy winds, adjust the trimmer according to environment. Slow Speed Distance Trimmer
To adjust slow speed distance — clockwise to increase, counterclockwise to decrease slow speed distance. Please do not set very short slow speed distance, to avoid the gate collision.

Gate Moving Speed Trimmer
To adjust gate moving speed — clockwise to accelerate, counterclockwise to slow down. The trimmer can be adjusted to change the opening and closing travel time. This adjustment must be finished before travel setting. FORCE
