FOREWORD Thank you for choosing Dura Access Control Equipment (DACE). We welcome you to the ever growing community of happy DACE product owners. The advanced engineering and high-quality construc on of each DACE product we build is something of which we are proud. The Ul ma gate operator is packed with features to bring you more convenience and to enhance your security.
INTRODUCTION & RECOMMENDATIONS DACE is a proven leader in the manufacturing of automa c gate & garage operators and strives to manufacture high quality products using the latest technology. We are constantly working on upgrading our products to bring you, our clients, products of the finest quality. We strongly recommended using the services of an experienced gate installer to install your gate opera- tor but if you intend installing the operator yourself, the manual must be read carefully before any installa on begins.

GATES ON A GRADIENT We do not recommend automa ng a gate which is not level. Failure to level the gate will put undue stress on the operator. Furthermore, if the operator is in manual override mode, the gate may run freely down the slope and present a safety risk.
CABLE RECOMMENDATIONS Two op ons for power supply: 1. Op on 1 (Recommended): Low voltage supply 14-24V AC via transformer placed in the house, max 50m from operator with 3 core 1.5mm (Live, Neutral & Earth). 2. Op on 2: High voltage mains supply connected to a 220V/240V AC Double Pole Isolator switch, mounted within 1.5m of the operator connected to the transformer inside the operator.
ANCHORING THE FOUNDATION PLATE Lay a concrete slab 400mm x 400mm x 200mm: Dig a hole and place the conduit ❶ in the correct • posi on. Fill the hole with concrete & allow to set. • II. Place the founda on plate on the concrete slab & feed the conduit through the cable inlets ❷.
SECURE OPERATOR TO THE FOUNDATION PLATE 1. Raise the adjus ng nuts ~ 5mm before moun ng the SIDE VIEW operator to allow for fine height adjustment at a later 2. Mount the operator on the founda on plate. 3. Place a Spirit Level on top of the operator base while Securing Nuts fastening the three securing nuts and washers ensuring that the operator is level.

……..con nued 1. Rest the rack on the pinion with the end of the rack and the end of the gate aligned. Having the gate slightly open will allow access to the first slot on the rack. 2. Clamp the opposite end of the rack to the gate. 3.
PLACING OIL IN THE GEARBOX It is important that the gearbox be filled with oil before commissioning the operator. Only use SAE75W-90 oil to refill. Fill the gearbox with the oil provided as shown. The The gearbox oil will need to be topped up periodically. en re bo le (70ml) must be emp ed into the gearbox.

AUTO CLOSE SETUP To prevent accidents, Safety Beams must be used when enabling the Auto Close func on. Enable Auto Close Enabling this func on allows the gate operator to Auto Close. If the gate is obstructed and Safety Beams are connected, the Auto Close Time delay will reset when the obstruc on is removed.

Open Ramp Down Adjusts the Ramp Down distance before running at crawl speed when the gate is opening. It should be noted that a very short ramp down may damage plastic rack or place unnecessary strain on the gate motor, especially if the gate is heavy.
……..con nued Posi ve Close If enabled, the open and close gaps are ignored and the gate will stop touching the end stops. This is usually used in conjunc on with electric fencing where it is required that the gate stops against contacts for the electric fence.
