Prior to installing the opener, you should have or build a concrete pad to support the base plate of opener in order to maintain proper stability. The installation proceeds are as follows: 1. Dig a hole for a concrete pad which should be approximately 40 x 24 x 30cm (16”x 9.5”x 12”).
Installing the magnets Before installing the magnets, make sure the gate opener is put in manual operation, (the clutch connected with gear shaft is disengaged) and the mains power supply is disconnected for safety. When viewing the gate from inside the property, no matter whether the gate opens to left or right, the N pole magnet needs to be installed on the left side of the gate, and the S pole magnet needs to be installed on the right side of the gate.
* Cut away any rack excess (Note: rack length must be longer than actual travel of the gate) * For Model KND800, thoroughly fasten four M8x60 hexagon self-tapping screws, ensuring the opener is firmly secured on the concrete pad during the whole gate travel.

batteries, solar panels, and solar controller by referring to the following illustration. 2. Using batteries without AC electricity The gate opener also can be powered by 2 PCS 12VDC batteries (NOT INCLUDED) as the main power supply with a 24VDC solar panel to charge it. The capacity of the batteries should be at least 12Ah and the power of the solar panel should be at least 30W if no AC electricity will be supplied.
Connecting the control board 1. Motor The YELLOW wire of the motor should be connected to the “1” terminal. The RED wire of the motor should be connected to the “2” terminal. 2.

E.g. Running time of the opener in pedestrian mode is 2+4=6 seconds. DIP Switch #3–#5: Fine adjustment of the soft stop period of the motor DIP Switch #3: ON – 1 Second OFF – 0 DIP Switch #4: ON – 2 Seconds OFF – 0 DIP Switch #5: ON –...
Testing the reversing sensitivity For the sake of safety, it is very important to test the reversing sensitivity as soon as the control board set is finished. The reversing sensitivity adjustment is inversely correlated with the stall force adjustment in potentiometer A and B.
Clearing Remote Controls Controlling the opener with the remote • Press button A repeatedly to cycle the opener through the following sequence: (open-stop-close- stop-open). • When the Pedestrian Mode function is enabled, button B is used to operate the opener on Pedestrian Mode (open the gate for the pre-set time).

from terminal 1 and 2. Connect the wires to 24V battery directly, the motor should run. Swap the wires, and the motor should run in the opposite direction. If the motor runs in both directions, please check the other parts listed below. 3.
4. Check the control board. Replace the control board if necessary. 1. If using a photocell, there may be an obstruction or dirt. Clear the photocell and try again. The gate can open, 2. The limit switch may have failed. Use a jumper wire to short terminal 4 with but fails to close.
