INTRODUCTION INSTALLING THE WARNING LABELS WARNING Warning Label is provided with each sales kit (MGLSK, MGLDK, MGLSK-LV & MGLDK-LV). The warning label must be placed on the inside of the post. Moving Gate Can Cause Serious Injury Or Death Persons are to keep clear! The gate is able to be moved without prior warning.
INTRODUCTION Before installing the gate opener, ensure that the gate is opening smoothly. Determine the dimensions based on the opening angle provided in Table 1 (below) to confirm the position where the post bracket will be mounted. Ensure that all the required cables (power cable, accessory cables etc) are prepared and laid correctly. NOTE: All crushing points must be secured by an entrapment protection according to AS/NZS 60335.1 in conjunction with AS/NZS 60335.2.103.
Page 10
INTRODUCTION DETERMINE THE POSITION OF THE POST BRACKET Determine the A and B dimension in base on the opening angle provided in Table 1 to confirm the position where the post bracket will be mounted. The max dimension for C, should be the B dimension minus the 60mm (refer to the tables below). For optimal mechanical advantage A and B dimension shall be equal or close.
INSTALLATION POST BRACKET INSTALLATION Using the fixed post bracket as a reference, mark and drill the holes for the post bracket. Attach the post bracket to the post using appropriate fixings. Masonry fixings are supplied, if required. The correct fastening material must be used based on existing installation (building / material substance).
INSTALLATION HARD STOPS INSTALLATION Release the opener manual release with the release key. See section 11. Using the internal opener hardstops to adjust the gate’s travelling distance, loosen each of the adjustment screws with a 5mm Allen key. Move the gate to the desired close position and reposition the hardstop to suit and secure the hardstop with a 5mm Allen key (not supplied).
INSTALLATION INSTALL THE CONTROL BOX The control box must be installed at a safe location that enables the installer to have access at all times to the logic board without the risk of the gates crushing or trapping. It is advised that you must have full view of the gates when programming the logic board. Install the control box in an appropriate and accessible position.
WIRING ELECTRICAL SAFETY To reduce the risk of SEVERE INJURY or DEATH: • BEFORE installing the power wiring or control stations be sure to follow all specifications and warnings. Failure to do so may result in SEVERE INJURY to persons and/or damage to the opener. •...
