INSTALLATION Initial Testing and Setup 1. When you first receive your motor (A), use one of the manual release keys (B) to open the motor’s release bar 90°. This releases the main gear’s normal locking mechanism for manual testing. Confirm that the gear rotates freely and smoothly by hand.

Press the button again to stop the gear. Press the button a third time to start the motor again in reverse. This should cause the gear to begin turning clockwise, which closes gates from the right. Press the button a fourth time to stop it again.
6. Provide a stable, compatible, and well-grounded power connection for the gate opener. The motor’s outlet should be within sight of the gate, protected from the elements, and equipped with a GFCI, RCD, or circuit breaker. It should be at least 1 m (3 ft.) high to minimise damage from weather. If possible, place the outlet higher than 5 feet or 1.5 m to limit access by children and animals.

The outer edge of the gear will need to be positioned almost exactly 19 mm (¾″) from the nearest part of the gate. The mounting plate (D) can be used to more easily check and mark initial placement, but its outer edge will need to be positioned 5.5 cm (2⅛″) from the nearest part of the gate to adjust for the width of the gear itself.
Motor Installation Using two people may make some parts of the following process much easier. 1. Remove the bolts on each side of the protective casing of the motor (A). Remove the rubber grommet near the limit switch sensor as shown and remove the casing from the motor. Use your release key (B) to unlock the gear again.

7. Remove the protective cover from the motor circuit board. Keep its fasteners nearby. NEVER make electrical connections while the motor’s power supply is active. Disconnect the GFCI, RCD, or circuit breaker before any wiring attempt. 8. If you will need to directly wire your power source into the motor’s circuit board, connect your wires to the main power terminal, the only one with three pin positions.
Rack Installation 1. Before placing your racks, lay them out in position along the entire length of the gate where they will need to be installed. Check that both ends have at least 30 cm (1 ft.) beyond the expected position of the main gear for their limit switch and ensure that you will not end up with a small piece of a rack at the end that is only supported by a single brace.
3. Unlock your main gear with your release key and move the gate back and forth. The gear should turn freely without binding along the entire length of the rack. The rack should remain in the same perfectly straight line over the gear from one end to the other, and there should be a space of about 1–2 mm (40–80 mil) between the gear and the rack along its entire length.
NEVER adjust any wiring or board setting while the gate is connected to power unless specifically directed otherwise. Disconnect the circuit from power, make your adjustment, and then restore power to test the effect. Reversing Direction The default placement for this system is on the right side of sliding gates DIP2 Effect when looking out from the property.
Adjusting the Gate’s Forcefulness Various settings control the forcefulness of the gate. The gate normally minimises wear by speeding up gradually as it begins moving. DIP Switch 1 can be flipped up to deactivate this soft start. (This can damage the system and is not usually recommended.) Similarly, the rightmost adjustment knob VR4 controls the gate’s initial force.
INITIAL TESTING 1. If the motor is located on the right side of your gate, confirm that DIP Switch 2 is toggled up. If the motor is located on the left side, make sure that DIP Switch 2 is toggled down. Power Remote Pairing 2.
MAINTENANCE • Always supervise children and pets near the gate, the motor, and their controls to prevent accidents. • Always fully disconnect your motor from its power supply before removing its cover or making any adjustments to its wiring. Use trained and licensed electricians for rewiring or electrical repair work. •...
