Connecting To Gate Control Unit Directly - DigiTech digiGate User Manual

6.2.2 Connecting to gate control unit directly
Note: This section assumes you do not have an acccessible override switch for your electric gates and wish to connect your
digiGate directly onto the gate control module itself. If you are installing outside, directly at the electric gates, please ensure you
have followed and completed the steps in section 5.1.2.
1. IMPORTANT - Ensure you have switched off the mains power for the gate control unit.
2. Access the main circuitboard by either removing the front cover or opening the casing. Be careful when
removing the front cover in case there are any cables attached to it.
3. Locate the NO (Normally Open) and earth/ground (Negative) terminals on the unit, this is where the
digiGate cables will connect to. If you have an override switch or other accessories, the cables from this will
most likely already be plugged into these terminals.
Note: If you do not know which terminals the NO and earth/ground are for your unit, please contact us at
installation@digiGate.co.uk with a photo and make/model number of your gate switch and we will get back to you with
instructions on which terminals to connect to. You must NOT connect digiGate to live power teminals on the gate unit.
4. Connect the other end of cable 1 to the NO (Normally Open) terminal and the other end of cable 2 to the
earth/ground (Negative) terminal as shown in the diagram below.
Terminal number 5 on the digiGate is a NC (Normally Closed) contact if required.
5. If you are installing your digiGate inside a building, 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.
