Page 3: Foreword
FOREWORD Thank you for choosing Dura Access Control Equipment (DACE). We welcome you to the ever growing community of happy DACE product owners. The advanced engineering and high-quality construction of each DACE product we build is something of which we are proud. -
Page 4: Introduction & Recommendations
Do not attempt to repair the equipment, this should only be done by a qualified DACE technician. DACE will not be held liable for any accident / incident resulting in damage, injury or death ensuing from the incorrect installation of the automatic gate operator. -
Page 5: Specifications
……..continued DACE cannot be held responsible for a gate bumping either of the ends stops if it runs on a slope. Do not operate the gate unless within direct sight of the gate. A gate is a heavy piece of equipment and injury, even death, may occur due to incorrect installation or opera- tion of the equipment. -

Page 10: Cable Recommendations
CABLE RECOMMENDATIONS Two options for power supply: 1. Option 1 (Recommended): Low voltage supply 14-24V AC via transformer placed in the house, max 50m from operator with 3 core 1.5mm (Live, Neutral & Earth). 2. Option 2: High voltage mains supply connected to a 220V/240V AC Double Pole Isolator switch, mounted within 1.5m of the operator connected to the transformer inside the operator. -
Page 11: Anchoring The Foundation Plate
❷. III. Ensure a 23mm clearance between the inner edge of the foundation plate and the edge of the gate. This measurement is based on DACE rack. See below to calculate clearance if using other rack. -
