General Considerations For The Installation - Centurion D2 Turbo Installation Manual

General considerations for the installation

 Always recommend the fitment of additional safety equipment such as Safety Edges
and Safety Beams, for additional protection against entrapment or other mechanical
risks
 Check that no pipes or electrical cables are in the way of the intended installation
 Check that enough space is available for the gate operator with the gate in the
required open position
 Check for loose, sandy soil if installing foundations, as the soil condition may require a
larger foundation
 Never fit the operator on the outside of the gate, where the public has access to it
Install the gate operator only if
 It will not pose a hazard to the public
 There is sufficient clearance to a roadway and/or public thoroughfares
 The installation will meet all municipal and/or local authority requirements once
completed
 The gate mass, length and application is within the operator specifications
 The gate is in good working order, meaning:
 that it moves freely
 does not move on its own if left in any position
 it can be installed to have sufficient clearance between moving parts when opening
and closing to reduce the risk of personal injury and entrapment
 Pushbuttons or keyswitches, when required, can be positioned so that the gate is in
line of sight of the operator
