Gate prepara on and mechanical requirements. BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO INSTALL A SLIDE GATE OPERATOR, PLEASE BE CERTAIN YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTOOD THE FOLLOWING TO ENSURE CONTINUED SATISFACTORY SAFE SERVICE FROM THIS PRODUCT: The following are points to note before installing your new slide gate operator: Gate mechanics.
Duty Cycle. The Formula used to determine duty cycle is: Run me x 100 = Duty cycle Run me + rest me Working example 1: (Low duty cycle) Run me: 12 seconds. Rest me: 36 seconds. 12 ÷ 48 x 100 = 25 Thus the duty cycle in example 1 is said to be 25% Working example 2: (High duty cycle) Run me: 12 seconds.
Cabling requirements. • Before moun ng the operator ensure your cables and condui ng are in place to prevent any inconvenience at a later stage. • All household mains cabling and circuits need to be installed by a qualifi ed electrician and signed off by a registered electrician. •...
There are a number of diff erent fastening techniques that can be used to fasten the baseplate in posi on. The standard kit is supplied with J-bolts so that the baseplate can be cast in concrete. While this method off ers a nice solid base it takes more than 48hrs to install as the concrete must cure properly before con nuing with the installa on.

Cabling conduits height: How to use the manual release. Move gate open and closed by hand Unlock the manual release lever lock using the key supplied. Swing the manual release lever upright to disengage the gearbox. To re-engage the gearbox lower the manual release lever and lock it once again. Gently pull or push the gate by hand un l the gears fall into place before triggering the unit to run.

Moun ng the operator onto the baseplate. Removing the cover: The cover is secured in place by means of four screws. One of which is secured beneath the manual override lever. Unlock and li the manual override. Using a Philips ® screwdriver remove the Li the main cover to remove it.
Installing the rack. Rack to pinion spacing. Correct. Incorrect! Incorrect! The driving surfaces of each tooth are 1 to 2mm This will cause skipping of teeth at the slightest This will cause unwanted rolling resistance apart. Allowing for slight variance in the height resistance to the gate travel, resul ng in the especially in colder condi ons.

Electrical and electronic installa on and setup. As a gate motor vibrates when in use, it is strongly recommended that only mul ple strand fl exible cables be used. Before closing the unit, always remember to double check that all connec ons are securely made, that there are no stray strands fl aring out that can short circuit against other adjacent connec ons or bared wires and that no cables will be pulled loose when the cover is replaced on the unit.
