  • Page 4: Gate Mounting

    Gate mounting [A] is frequently requested, but requires extra safety edges because of the crush risk between the gate and the pier. [B] recommended for safety and has a good opening angle. [C] casement must be turned through 90° and mounted on the back face of pier.
  • Page 5: Driveway Layout

    AXEL Driveway layout Layout, like gate mounting, can minimise extra Fig 5 safety devices without compromising safety. Sets contain one photobeam, normally wired to the re-open [F] input. The beam is fixed to the gate pier or post. A second pause photobeam on [E] input is placed outside the swing of the gate.

  • Page 9 Running cables We recommend star wiring. A five core 0,6mm cable (DC519) is run from the control panel to most devices. Exceptions are the motor cables which are 3 core 1mm, and AK sets mains supply cable (3 core 5A). Lock and lamp cables may also differ, so check their cable specifications.
