1.0 Application
AVANTI double leaf swing gate sets are suitable for light to
medium gates. Ram openers are best suited to wooden or steel
posts where a good fixing can be ensured. Geometry is critical
with ram openers due to the stroke length. Check 'A' and 'B'
dimensions available. For gates not mounted on the back edge
of the post, it is possible to provide cutouts.
A soft start function reduces gate jerking common with ram
openers that can damage both gates and fixings. AVANTI's
physical limits mean there is no need for gate closed stops. Read
and observe the safety warnings before starting.
1.1 Gate geometry
The post bracket position with respect to the hinge line sets the
opening angle and speed. Dimensions A & B should be roughly
equal and maximised to use the full stroke length. Short strokes
are faster, but only for use on small gates. The chart shows large
B increases opening angle, but again, only for very light gates.
Motors can be fixed at any height, but must be horizontal. The
gate bracket should be fixed to the strongest horizontal rail. The
post bracket is then fixed 38mm higher than the gate bracket,
important for the opener to remain horizontal.

1.2 Post bracket fixing
Post brackets need very strong fixing bolts, or welding to a stable
post. Fixings to brick are a weakness, particularly for boarded
gates which are heavier and catch the wind. Gate bracket fixings
are in shear, so are less critical.
Start by choosing a gate fixing rail that also provides a solid post
mounting point (38mm higher). Measure the desired opening
angle, then using the chart below, find the 'A' and 'C' dimensions.
Fix the post bracket first. Only one of the 5 bracket's holes will be
used, so there is some possibility for adjustment after fixing. Any
changes to the post fixing holes later will only weaken fixings, so
measure twice, fix once!
1.3 Gate bracket fixing
Bolt the gate bracket to the opener. Manual release the opener.
Move the physical limit blocks to the end of travel. Pull the
carriage to the fully open position (nose end). Position the gate
in the closed position. Fix the opener to the pier. Hold it against
the gate. Mark the bracket mounting holes on the gate.
Re-mark the holes 20mm closer to the gate post and drill two of
the holes to 8mm. Fix the bracket. The other holes and fixings
will be made after the setup procedure when you are confident
the bracket is in the optimum position.
