Installation Overview: Which Motor Is Left Or Right Hand - Proteco SIMPLY Installation Manual

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. This is the physical grooved spindle you visibly see on the underside of
the motor: As illustrated:
From looking at the gates from the inside of the driveway:
Another quick way to tell the two hands apart is to lift up the cover of each motor and identify the
control board for the gate automation. The control board is always housed in the left hand motor:
If the gate is hinged on the left,
mount the left hand motor:
If the gate is hinged on the
right, mount the right hand
motor
The control board comes pre-wired
for the left hand motor. Later in the
guide we will be covering how to
connect the right hand motor to the
control board.
