Preparation Of Site; General Considerations For The Installation - Centsys VECTOR2 Installation Manual

7. Preparation of site

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. (See Figure 4)
Check the strength of the mounting pillar and fit a wall adaptor kit where needed
If the swing gate leaf is longer than 2.5m, ensure that a lock can be fitted
Never fit the operator on the outside of the gate, where the public has access to it
(Follow the instructions for an outward opening swing gate, if required.)
For greater security consider fitting an optional high security kit
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, leaf width, allowable wind loading and application is within the
operator specifications (refer to the specification tables)
The gate is in good working order, meaning:
that it swings freely;
does not move on its own if left in any position;
each gate leaf is strong and rigid
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 key switches, when required, can be positioned so that the gate is in
line of sight of the operator
Gate opening 90° or less

Tables are based on gates shorter than 2.5m
• For gates 2.5m to 3.0m long, reduce the maximum pillar thickness by 20mm
• For gates 3.0m to 3.5m long, reduce the maximum pillar thickness by 40mm
• For gates 3.5m to 4.0m long, reduce the maximum pillar thickness by 60mm
