Gate Arm (Actuator) Installation - Gatekeeper YG-5602/1U/E Owner's Manual

6. Gate Arm (Actuator) Installation
Before proceeding to the installation, make sure you read through the following.
Gate Size and Weight Limitations
The YG‐5602/1 Swing Gate Opener will handle gates weighing up to 300Kg
(661lb) and up to 3.6m (12 ft) per leaf if the proper installation procedures
have been followed. The YG‐5602 gate operator operates by forcing a worm
gear to extend inside each actuator pushing or pulling the gate open.
Gate preparation
Be sure the gate is properly installed and swings smoothly before installing
the YG‐5602 swinging gate opener. The gate must be plumb, level, and move
freely. More detailed instructions on page 6 (Sec.5. Site Preparation)
Conduit
In order to protect the wires, use PVC conduit for wires. It may be necessary
to preset the conduit into the concrete when it is poured. Wires within the
conduit shall be located or protected so that no damage can result from
contact with any rough or sharp part. More detailed instructions on page 6
(Sec.5a Standard Power & 5b Solar Power)
Once the gate is mounted adequately, and electrical power is available, you
are ready to proceed with the YG‐5602 installation.
PVC Conduits are
usually pipes, but are
also available as
flexible tubes
