SECTION 6 OPERATOR INSTALLATION - INWARD-OPENING 6. Operator Installation - Inward-Opening 6.1. New Site Installations Figure 18 illustrates the values corresponding to the Inward-Opening Gate Installation Tables. Gate in closed Wall position VANTAGE SMART operator The length of the wall bracket should equal B minus E. When looking at the example above, the wall bracket should measure 240mm (B) - 160mm (E) = 80mm (wall bracket length) FIGURE 18.

SECTION 6 OPERATOR INSTALLATION - INWARD-OPENING Manually rotate the piston to the fully extended-position, and then retract it by half to one full turn. With the gate in the closed position, use a G-clamp or spot weld the Gate Bracket in position to temporarily hold the Gate Bracket in place.
Page 29
SECTION 6 OPERATOR INSTALLATION - INWARD-OPENING If the gate opening angle is sufficient and the operator is utilising the majority of its stroke, then secure the Gate Bracket using the most appropriate means. Remove the operator before welding, if welding is required. If this is not the case or the operator does not have enough stroke for the gate to open fully, re-check the A- and B-Values on Page 23 - Page...

SECTION 7 OPERATOR INSTALLATION - OUTWARD-OPENING 7. Operator Installation - Outward-Opening 7.1. New Site Installations Depending on the gate opening angle determined in Section 6.2, refer to Figures 28 to 30 for the correct installation geometry. In most cases, it will be necessary to make up a suitable extension bracket in which to mount the operator’s Wall Bracket.
