  • Page 2: General Information And Warnings

    INTRODUCTION. The Compact is designed to offer the latest technology available in a compact, easy to install and use package. . The Compact is designed for domestic applications where a “no fuss” easy to operate motor is needed. GENERAL INFORMATION AND WARNINGS.

  • Page 3: General Motor Layout

    GENERAL MOTOR LAYOUT The diagram shows the motor with the major parts labeled for easy identification. The motor is shown with the lid removed. Main P.C.Board Marker / magnetic sensor Electric motor Oil filler cap Clear gearbox lid Low battery L.E.D. Charge L.E.D.

  • Page 4: General Site Layout

    The diagram below shows a basic site layout. Some items shown are optional extras. It should be noted that infra-red safety beams are strongly recommended on all sites End stop minimum 70mm by 70mm. Anti-lift device / rollers. Rail. Compact motor. Magnet. Rack. Goose neck with intercom gate station. (Optional.) Catch bracket.

  • Page 5: Site Evaluation

    TERMS AND DEFINITIONS USED IN THIS MANUAL Anti-lift device. Stops the gate being lifted off the rail. Auto-close. The gate will close automatically after a chosen time delay. (optional) Battery. 12 volt 7 amp hour battery that drives the motor. Collision sensing / over current.

  • Page 6: Gate Evaluation

    GATE EVALUATION It is extremely important to evaluate the gate that is to be automated before any automation is done. The following points must be checked. All of the points mentioned below are common causes of gate problems if not checked. Check the start up force of the gate using a fishing scale.
  • Page 7 REMOVING THE LID AND PLACING THE MOTOR IN MANUAL OVERIDE In order to remove the lid of the motor. Remove the two screws at the side of the lid. The lid can now be lifted off the motor. Whenever the gate needs to be disengaged from the motor in order to move the gate by hand , the motor can be placed in manual over-ride mode.

  • Page 8: Electrical Wiring

    ELECTRICAL WIRING This motor is designed as a battery operated motor. The battery receives a continuous trickle charge from the charging system built into the P.C. Board. The charging system receives 16 volts AC from the transformer. The transformer must be plugged into a normal household plug socket.
  • Page 9 ANCHORING THE MOTOR It is very important that the motor is mounted on a firm foundation that can not move or become loose over time. the foundation should be constructed from concrete. The size of the plinth should be about 300 by 300 mm square and about 200mm deep. The foundation plate supplied with the motor must be securely mounted to the concrete using coach screws and plugs.
  • Page 10 SECURING THE MOTOR TO THE FOUNDATION PLATE When anchoring the motor it is important to ensure that the following points are checked. The electrical cable is in place. The concrete is fully set. The motor foundation mountings are secure and can not move or become loose. The motor should be set level and parallel to the gate.

  • Page 11: Mounting The Rack

    MOUNTING THE RACK The rack is attached to the gate using the TEK screws supplied. It is recommended that the rack is not welded to the gate as this prevents any adjustment at a later stage. The rack must mesh with the pinion gear throughout the com- plete length of the gate.

  • Page 13: Black Wire

    SETTING THE MOTOR DIRECTION The following diagrams show the correct wiring of the electric motor to the main P.C.Board. The motor wires are found protruding from the motor, there are two wires, one wire is blue in colour the other wire is black in colour. FOR A GATE CLOSING TO THE LEFT FOR A GATE CLOSING TO THE RIGHT BLACK WIRE...
  • Page 14 TO PROGRAM THE MOTOR. Ensure that all power is removed from the board. Manually open the gate 1m -1.5m This will be the pedestrian opening distance. Lock the gate in place. (Operational mode.) Insert the program jumper over the two pins on the P.C. Board called “prog motor”. Apply the battery power.

  • Page 15: Setting The Over-Current

    SETTING THE OVER-CURRENT It is recommended that the current sensing is left as set in the factory. As increasing the current sensing may cause serious injury or damage in the case of the gate striking an obstruction Over-current is the amount of force that the motor delivers before stopping when an object is struck. The amount of force is controlled by the two potentiometers (pots) found on the main P.C.BOARD.
  • Page 16 When multi-user mode is set, the motor will accept the first trigger and ignore any other trigger thereafter, this reduces the chance of the gate closing on an object. Although the Compact motor is designed to be used in a domestic application only, this function is available.

  • Page 17: Main P.c.board

    WIRING AUXILLARY EQUIPMENT All auxiliary equipment should be connected with caution as an incorrect connection could lead to the P.C.B being damaged. Consult the wiring diagrams below. All power should be removed from the P.C.B. before any connections are made. WIRING DURATRONIC INFRA-RED BEAMS (RECOMMENDED) NB Beams shown with front covers removed.
  • Page 18 CONNECTING AN INTERCOM. (OPTIONAL) There are many different types of intercoms available on the market today. The wiring of these intercoms can vary in some ways, but the general wiring is the same. The three main types of inter- com are as follows:- 220 volt.
  • Page 19 CONNECTING AN EXTERNAL RECEIVER (OPTIONAL) Receiver board Connect to TRIG for full opening or con- nect to PED for pe- destrian opening Bridge com and neg NB the normally open (NO) connector is wired to the TRIG or PED connector on the Main P.C.Board To program remotes to the receiver.
  • Page 20 NOTE: multi—user mode must be selected when a loop detector is used. (Dipswitch 1) Compact motor Slot from edge of driveway to allow for cable entry DuraLoop detector buried in driveway Twisted wires to trigger.
  • Page 21 L.E.D. INDICATIONS There are several light emitting diodes (L.E.Ds) on the main P.C.Board. These L.E.Ds indicate several conditions. These in- dications are as follows:- STAUS LED. ON = gate open or gate is in motion. OFF = mains power off. FLASHING ONCE EVERY TWO SECONDS = gate closed and mains power on.

  • Page 22: Warranty

    CONNECTING AN EXTERNAL L.E.D. (OPTIONAL) An external L.E.D. (light emitting diode) can be wired to the motor in order to indicate the status of the gate at all times. The most common place to set the L.E.D. is in the handset of the intercom. If there is no intercom then the L.E.D. can be placed in any chosen location.
