Page 3: Introduction; Recommendations & Legal Requirements P3
D.A.C.E has taken all reasonable steps to ensure that the gate operator is safe to install and use. However it must be remembered that a gate is a heavy piece of moving equipment and may cause serious damage or injury if the gate strikes an object or person. -
Page 4: Recommended Tools P4
• Do not open, tamper or modify any of the electrical components of this equipment in any way. • Do not attempt to repair the equipment, this should only be done by a qualified D.A.C.E. tech- nician. • D.A.C.E will not be held liable for any accident / incident resulting in damage, injury or death ensuing from the installation of the automatic gate operator. -
Page 5: General Information P5
The gate will close on the next trigger that it receives or after the auto-close time has expired. It should be noted that D.A.C.E. recommends the use of DuraOptics safety beams on all installa- tions to minimise the chance of the gate closing while there is an object in its path. -

Page 8: Site Information P8
SITE INFORMATION The site should be evaluated before the installation begins. The following items should be checked. • The operator should be installed above flood level to avoid any water damage to the operator. • To avoid the operator from malfunctioning the rail should be level and above ground level. This will help to keep debris out of the path of the wheels. - Page 9 At no stage while moving the gate must the reading exceed the force shown in the table below. The D.A.C.E warranty will be void if the gate mass, start up force or running force exceeds the specifications as per the table below MAX.

@Mr. Anderson I have tested the voltage output at 5.98 volts. I put in a brand new battery yesterday, it has gone flat, the gate will not shut. What do I need to do to solve the problem? It is flashing red light "low battery" If there is a part I need to order it ASAP to get the gate operational. I looked for 12 volt fuses, but I could not find any fuses.

It is flashing red light "low battery" If there is a part I need to order it ASAP to get the gate operational. I looked for 12 volt fuses, but I could not find any fuses.
To resolve the low battery issue with the D.A.C.E SOLO gate that is flashing a red light and not shutting, take the following steps:
1. Check battery voltage – Ensure the battery has sufficient charge.
2. Check charger voltage – Verify that the charger is supplying the correct voltage.
3. Check mains power – Confirm that the main power supply is present and functioning.
4. Check transformer – Make sure the transformer is supplying the correct voltage (16 VAC).
5. Check charger – Inspect the charger for faults or damage.
If the issue persists after checking these components, further inspection of the PC board and connections may be needed.
