IRING
 Single phase 240v 10A earth leakage protected power supply to where operator is mounted. If
nuisance tripping of the RCD occurs, this is due to the fact that VSD drive units inherently allow
minimal earth leakage current to flow originating from its internal power filtering which can
sometimes be enough to trip a standard RCD device.
 We recommend that a selective type RCD is used, such as the Clipsal S type selective RCD.
 Alternatively, the internal filtering in the VSD can be disabled. Refer to the DELTA manual for details.
 Extra Low Voltage cables from operator for access control. (Shielded cable if over 8m runs).

NSTALLATION DETAILS
After reading the previous sections in this manual, and having checked for suitable installation, proceed as follows:

Electrical Cabling

A suitably rated Isolator and 240vac power supply should be available near to where the gate operator is to be
mounted. The following diagrams will provide measurements for the positioning of conduits and the appropriate
position for mounting the operator whether a GDS 450,500,630 LI or P type.
When bringing power and control cables into the control enclosure inside the operator, please leave
enough slack in the cables, in this way, the enclosure can still be lifted up in order to see and work on
the controls easier. To lift up control enclosure, undo wing nut on right hand side, once lifted up, re-
tighten the nut to keep enclosure in upwards position, once finished, undo wing nut, drop enclosure
back down, then re tighten wing nut.

Mechanical Installation

 Ensure gate rolls easily and has been installed in a manner where there is no excessive friction or binding
occurring.
 A concrete base approximately 600mm long x 300 wide x 300mm deep should be laid where the gate operator is
to be located.
 IMPORTANT ensure there are gate stops firmly installed in the fully open and closed positions. These stops need
to be engineered and installed such that they will be strong enough to stop the gate should the limits fail at any
time
 Remove the gate operator cover and position mounting plate and operator in approximate mounting location.
 Use the rack to locate the operator the correct distance away from the gate rail (finer adjustment can be made
after).
 Dynabolt or chemical anchor the bottom mounting plate to the concrete mounting pad using 12 x 100mm fixings.
 Unscrew anticlockwise the manual disconnect knurled knob so the drive gear free wheels.
Fix the rack to the gate rail ensuring there is approximately 1mm - 2mm gap between the meshing of the teeth of
the rack and the drive gear (no more). Move the gate by hand from one end to the other while checking that the
rack is meshing correctly with the drive gear on the operator. Check also that the rack is centred around the
middle of the teeth on the drive cog – tighten the mounting plate nuts.

Electrical Connections

 Connect an earth leakage protected 10A 240v supply to Din Rail terminals labelled A & N, Connect earth to the
earth Din Rail terminal.
 Conduits for power & control need to preferably come up through the base plate 'knockout'.
