  • Page 4 Because automatic gate openers produce high levels of force, consumers need to know the potential hazards associated with improperly designed, installed, and maintained automated gate opener systems. Keep in mind that the gate opener is just one component of the total gate operating system. Each component must work in unison to provide convenience, security, and safety.
  • Page 5 B5. Pay close attention to the diagram below and be aware of these areas at all times. If you identify areas of immediate high risk, please consider adding extra non contact safety device (Safety Photocells) and/or contact safety devices (Gate Safety Edges) from the selection that is available from the GateMotors website.
  • Page 6 D3. Do not attempt to “beat the gate” while the gate is closing. This is extremely dangerous. D4. Do not allow children or pets near your gate. Never let children operate or play with gate controls. Keep the remote controls away from children and unauthorised users; store controls where children and unauthorised users cannot obtain access to them.

  • Page 11 Gate Preparation The gate must be plumb, level and swing freely on its hinges. The Kit Simply is designed to move the weight of the gate only. If hinges are stiff, loosen with lubricating oil. The gate must be able to move throughout its arc without binding or dragging on the ground.

  • Page 12: Installation Overview: Which Motor Is Left Or Right Hand

    Installation Overview: Which motor is left or right hand? The Kit Simply motors are manufactured according to their mounting orientation, left hand or right hand depending on which side the gate is hinged. This handing is stipulated by the positioning of the main drive shaft of the motor.

    Identifying the fixing point on the gate Identify the Fixing Point on the Gate The above connection points to the gate are suggested fixing points. This is based according to the gates shape and the fixing possibilities: a) If the gate leaf is large in height and width, you can position the motors connecting arm on the gate at any height with no restriction.

    With the Kit Simply being a versatile motor, there are NO set measurements that need to be achieved in order for the motor to operate correctly – instead there are only maximum measurements and as long as the motor operates within these measurements (A, B &...

  • Page 15: Outward Opening Mounting

    Outward Opening Mounting Identify the Fixing Point on the Pillar – Gate Hinged in the Centre This is an arrangement where the hinge of the gate is on the centre of the pillar. This gives the option of opening the gate to a maximum 90 degree angle as the pillar will physically stop the gate from opening further (Fig.

    There is no structural benefit to this arrangement, only aesthetic. The motor will be visibly seen sitting proud on a ‘shelf’. Once the anchor plate is positioned and strongly fixed to your pillar, next we look to anchor the Kit Simply motor to the bracket.

  • Page 17: Fixing The Motor To The Anchor Plate

    Fixing the Motor to the Anchor Plate Place the motor onto the anchor plate, paying particular attention to the positioning of the drive shaft for the motor. This drive shaft must be positioned nearest to the gate leaf to enable the articulated arm to operate at efficiently.

    Once the motor has been anchored to its mounting plate with the shelf in the lower position, when the motor cover is replaced the plate will be hardly visible and the motors drive shaft will visible - illustrated left. Once attached to the gate pillar, the complete anchor plate will not be visible - illustrated right.

  • Page 20: Fixing The Articulated Arm To The Gate Leaf

    Fixing the Articulated Arm to the Gate Leaf At this stage of the installation, we have the motor anchored on its mounting plate which in-turn has been fixed to the pillar and the articulated has been assembled and ready to attach to the gate leaf. To attach to the gate leaf, it will be necessary to unlock the motor so we can physically push and pull the motor drive spindle in order for the articulated arm to reach the gate leaf for attaching.

    It is an electrical gate stop and preserves the long lasting life of the motor’s components. Compared to the linear range of motors, the Kit Simply is designed in a very different way therefore the limit switches are to be used. Physical gate stops are required to present the form of resistance the motors needed in accompany the installation to regulate the duty cycles to ensure continued smooth operation.
  • Page 22 STEP 1 Locate the CAM switches towards the back of the motor. These are loose upon manufactuering for ease of being set. These CAMS rotate around a pole that is directly connected to the motors drive spindle shaft. STEP 2 When the cams rotate on the vertical pole during the gates opening or closing cycles (the drive spindle turns clockwise / anti-...
  • Page 23 The CAM switches can be re-positioned at any time if the need for a shorter / wider opening angle arises. Simply follow the steps 1 to 4 and re-perform the Sequential Programming as described in the Q60AR Control Board for Swing Gates Instruction guide (page 22) to enable the control board to adjust its motor running time parameters to suit.

    Re-lock the motor using the release key supplied to ensure the gate cannot move when manual force is applied. This ensures the spring mounted release mechanism has interlocked with the motor gears. If the motor is not re-locked, when the automation is activated the motor spindle will just spin with no movement produced by the articulated arm.

    Connecting Right Hand Motor Connecting to the right hand motor to the control board will require the use of 1.5mm 4 core armoured cable. 4 core cable flex could be used but it is strongly recommended to use armoured cable for safety as often cables need to be laid under the driveway to connect the right hand motor.

  • Page 26: Inward And Outward Opening

    Inward and Outward Opening The Kit Simply is versatile in which direction it can travel so it can open inwards and outwards. The following few pages show wiring diagrams to explain how the motors are connected to the Q60AR Control Board depending on how they are to operate depending on whether the gates are to open inwards or outwards.

  • Page 27: Installation Complete

    Outward Opening Double Leaf Gate For gates that open outwards, The Kit Simply can operate a specific handed gate leaf before the other. This comes into play where there is a “lip” on a gate leaf which keeps the gates together or there are specific requirements to have one leaf open before the other.

    Kit Simply 230v – FAQ’s Will my gates still open in the winter when it is very cold and icy? Climate conditions do affect how the internal mechanics operate. During periods where the outside temperature can drop as low as -20 in some parts of the UK, the motors can physically have trouble starting, just like a motor vehicle.

    This is plugged into the 10-pin socket located on the gate control board, and then connected using 2-wire configuration. The expansion card transmits 12v charge to the lock which releases its locking pin. In addition, the electro-lock can be used as a stand-alone lock, simply using the two 'Yale' type keys supplied.
