Description
The F550 & F560 sets are based around the PICO 24Vdc sliding
gate motors. The F550 is for domestic gates. The F560 is for
light industrial gate applications such as an office development.
A toothed rack fixed to the gate engages with a pinion on the
motor. Drive is delivered through a worm drive gearbox. The gate
cannot be moved while the gearbox is engaged. A key override
disengages the motor from the drive pinion. Used in exceptional
circumstances, like power failure.
Two double button rolling code remotes are included. Buttons can
be programmed to open fully for vehicles or partial opening for
pedestrians. The 2 nd button can open another gate. Up to 16
remotes can be registered. A safety photo beam is included to
detect vehicles. Further safety devices may be added.
Operation
On an input from a remote or an external control, the gate will
open fully or partially. The closed and fully open positions are
determined by limit switches acting on 'skis' fitted to the rack. If
the remote is activated while the gate is running, it will stop. The
next remote activation will re-start in the other direction.
For safety, the gate slows at ends of travel. If the automatic
close function is enabled, the gate will re-close after a delay.
If the photo beam is interrupted during closing, the gate stops
then re-opens. The gate will stay open while the beam is
interrupted. The motor has a stall sensor to detect physical
blocks in the gates path. If an obstacle is detected in either
direction, the gate will stop and reverse direction.
Safety warnings
Automatic gates can be hazardous. It is the responsibility
of the home owner to be aware of the risks and provide,
adequate warning of hazards. Users should be given instruction on
the safe use of the automatic gate.
This manual is written for engineers aware of construction criteria for
automatic gates and accident prevention criteria in force in the
automation industry. Only qualified persons may do installation or
maintain work on this barrier that may change its risk assessment.
Turn off the power before working on the gate. We recommended
signage to warn users and members of the public of risk of injury to
pedestrians. Do not permit public access to the gate area. Do not use
remotes when out of sight of the gate. Do not let children or untrained
people use remotes. Do not let unsupervised children near the gate.

Physical Protection
Gates must be of a robust construction to be automated without
attendance. Wheels on which the gate roll must be free running &
well maintained on clean level ground tracks. Support rollers must
be adjusted and maintained for smooth running. Gates must have
physical stops at both extremes to prevent derailment hazards.
Cables must be sufficiently protected against abrasion that could
lead to a hazard due to exposure of electrical conductors.
Electrical supplies must be protected by an earth leakage device.
There must a disconnect switch outside the gate area.
'Automatic gate' signs are required on both sides of the gate
warning against risk of contact injury. A pedestrian side gate is
preferred for regular pedestrian access.
User Instructions
It is the site owner or manager's responsibility to ensure that only
trained people operate the gate, and ensure all operators are
aware of gate hazards. Operators must take responsibility for the
safety of any person within the hazard area. Never let children
play near gates in motion.
Keep the gate area clear of objects. Examine the gate for
imbalance or signs of wear. Have gate properly maintained and
repaired by qualified personnel when necessary.
Manufacturers are not responsible for injury resulting from failure
to meet the requirements in this manual. An adequate clearance
must be provided around the gate to prevent entrapment.
