6 GATE SYSTEM INSTALLATION

Note: It is recommended that digiGate is installed by a qualified electrician to avoid any incorrect wiring, potentially resulting in

product malfunction and/or injury.

To install a digiGate gate control system, you will need your digiGate and 2 switch cables (provided).

6.2 Connecting to your gates

Note: These are generic instructions and your gate system may differ. If you have trouble installing, please contact us at

installation@digiGate.co.uk with a photo and make/model number of your gate system and we will get back to you with

instructions on how to install your digiGate to your specific device.

1. IMPORTANT - Turn off the mains power to your gate system.

2. Ensure you have connected your two switch cables to your digiGate, as described in section 5.2. These

should be connected to terminals 1 and 2 of your digiGate.

Note: Terminal number 5 on the digiGate is a NC (Normally Closed) contact if required.

6.2.1 Connecting to override switch

Note: This section is for connecting to your gate override switch. If you do not have an override switch like the image above or

cannot access it, please skip to section 6.2.2 for instructions on connecting to the main gate control module itself.

1. Safely remove the front of the override switch. There should be some accessible screws on the outside

which need to be removed. Once removed, carefully lift off the front panel but be careful not to force the

panel off in case there are some cables attached, in which case remove these gently.

2. Locate the two terminals connected to the reverse of the open gates button. Connect cables 1 and

2 from the digiGate to these terminals, as shown in the diagram below. It does not matter which cable

connects to which terminal as long as they are not both connected to the same.

3. Re-assemble the override switch again with the front fixed back in place. Ensure no metal from the

cables is exposed.

4. With the cables connected, you now need to position your digiGate onto the mount you have fixed to

the wall. Please skip to section 11 to see how this is done.

Note: The type of gates

must be automatic closing

where the gates will close

after a certain amount of

time or after there is nothing

blocking the sensors.

Note: Gates with open and

close buttons will not work

as the digiGate system

simulates a pulse to open

only and not close.
