For ADDITIONAL SAFETY protection we
STRONGLY recommend the fitting of a Photo Electric
Beam. In most countries Photo Electric Beams are
mandatory on all gates fitted with automatic openers.
For a small additional outlay ATA recommends that
Photo Electric Beams be installed with the
automatic opener ensuring additional safety and peace
of mind.
DO NOT operate the gate opener unless the gate is in
full view and free from objects such as cars and
children/people. Make sure that the gate has finished
moving before entering or leaving the driveway.
DO NOT operate the gate opener when
children/persons are near the gate. Children must be
supervised near the gate at all times when the gate
opener is in use. SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY
and/or property damage can result from failure to follow
this warning.
DO NOT allow children to operate the gate opener.
Keep the remote control away from children. SERIOUS
PERSONAL INJURY OR DAMAGE can result from
failure to follow the instructions.
Make sure that the SAFETY OBSTRUCTION
DETECTION system is working correctly, and is
TESTED every month. Test as per the Installation
Instruction Manual. Adjust if necessary and recheck.
Failure to follow this rule could result in SERIOUS
PERSONAL INJURY and/or property damage.
DO NOT disengage the gate opener to manual operation
with children/persons or any other objects including
motor vehicle within the gateway.
If using a key switch or keypad or any device that can
operate the gate opener, make sure it is out of reach of
children and that the gateway is in full view at all times.
If the power supply cord is damaged, it MUST be
replaced by an ATA service agent or suitably qualified
person.
Make sure that remote controls are kept out of reach of
children.
Warning - It is vital for the safety of persons to follow all instructions. Failure to comply
with the following Safety Rules may result in serious personal injury and/or property damage.
The opener is showerproof - it should not be immersed

FEATURES
Thank you for purchasing the ATA Elite
Swing Gate Opener. This opener is
designed to suit residential hinged swing
gates. The components and materials used
in this opener are of the latest technology
and highest quality. Listed below are some
of the many features.
DUAL LEAF GATE
A dual leaf gate can be controlled with the
addition of a second drive unit. Mains
power is only required for the control box
and a 5-core low voltage cable for the
drive units.
OPERATION
To activate the gate simply press a button
on the remote control transmitter, keypad
or activate any other input device such as
key switch, loop detector, etc. During an
open or close cycle the gate can be stopped
by pressing the button while it is in
motion. The next actuation will move the
gate in the opposite direction.
HOPPING CODE TRANSMITTERS
Every time a button pressed on the
SecuraCode®transmitter a new access
code is generated at random from over
4.29 billion combinations. This greatly
enhances the security of the system and
makes code “grabbing” a thing of the past.
SECURITY CODE STORE
The Elite Swing Gate Opener uses state of
the art technology in storing your selected
transmitter codes. Up to thirty (30)
transmitters can be stored in the opener’s
memory.
ISS (INTELLIGENT SAFETY
OBSTRUCTION SYSTEM)
The opener will automatically reverse if
the gate hits an obstacle or be restricted in
some manner while it is performing a close
cycle. The amount of force the gate should
encounter before reversing is
automatically adjusted by the control
system during the initialisation of the
automatic opener. The gate will also stop if
restricted whilst opening. The Safety
Obstruction Force should be checked at
least once a month.
CONTROLLING INPUTS
The control board has provision for
ancillary controlling inputs including:
open, close, stop, O/S/C, swipe, pedestrian
access and photo-electric (P.E.) safety
beams.
The opener can be triggered by devices
such as swipe card, inductive loop
detector, key switch, hard wired switch,
keypad, etc.
PEDESTRIAN MODE
The gate can be programmed to open
partially to allow pedestrian access. In a
dual leaf gate only one leaf opens to allow
pedestrians through without permitting
vehicle access.
CONTROL OF LOCK AND LIGHTS
The incorporated controller has dedicated
outputs for operating an electric lock and
warning or courtesy lights (with the
addition of a light relay module). The
timing of these outputs can be adjusted to
suit your needs.
PROGRAMMABLE PHOTO
ELECTRIC BEAM INPUT
The PE Beam input can be programmed to
either stop or reverse the gate during a
close cycle. The gate opener can also be
programmed to prevent the gate moving
without the PE first being triggered.
AUTO-CLOSE MODE
The gate can be closed automatically after
preset time. Auto-close mode can be active
for full or pedestrian access or via the
triggered PE input. A PE Beam must be
fitted to use this function.
BATTERY BACKUP AND SOLAR
OPERATION
The opener can be fitted with optional
battery backup or solar chargers to provide
operation during power outages or at
unpowered sites.
GATE SYNC/DELAY
If the gate leafs overlap, a delay can be
used to start one leaf moving without
interfering with the other.
SOFT STOP
The opener slows as the close limit is
approached to reduce the chance of heavy
contact and causing damage to both gate
and opener.
MANUAL OPERATION
The opener can be disengaged and the gate
operated manually by opening the drive
unit cover and disengaging the gearbox. If
power to the opener is disrupted for any
reason it can be disengaged. This will
allow you to manually open or close the
gate.

DRIVE UNIT INSTALLATION
The ATA Elite swing gate opener is designed to operate most
residential swing gates. The gates must be in good working
condition and should operate by hand relatively freely. Wind
loading may affect the operation of the opener in high wind areas.
Correct obstruction and reversing settings should be chosen for
trouble free operation.
PRE-INSTALLATION INSPECTION
Before commencing installation check the following:
1. The gate moves freely by hand for it’s full opening and
closing travel.
2. The pier or post for mounting must be of solid construction
(Brick, solid timber or steel). It must bare most of the force
applied by the drive unit.
3. A weatherproof 240V 10A general purpose power point
should be available within one metre of the pier/post.
4. If dual gate openers are required, provision for underground
cabling should be made from one post to the other.
5. Side room clearance is adequate. Refer to Table 1 and Fig. 2.
If there is not enough side room available, the Minimum Side
Room Kit (Page 9) is required.
6. The mount distance of the Drive Unit should be recorded. This
value will be used later.

SETTING OBSTRUCTION FORCE
CHECKING LIMITS POSITIONS
WARNING: If gates require sync delay - Switch 1 must be set to
ON before fine tuning limits.
1. Re-engage drive units.
2. Press OSC to move gate until the limit switch engages.
3. Fine tune limts cam positions so that the gate reaches the
desired open and closed positions.
NOTE: In the pre-initialised state the OSC button moves the gate
only while depressed.
IMPORTANT NOTICE:
Intialising must be performed for the gates obstruction sensors to
be correctly calculated and to set the soft stop feature.
SYNCHRONISED OVERLAPPING GATE LEAFS
When dual swing gates are used it is common for a back stop to
be mounted on one of the gate leafs so that the leafs are aligned
when closed. To prevent the gate leafs from interfering with each
other, the gate leaf with the back stop must reach the close
position first when closing and open last.
Set “SYNCHRONISING DELAY” dip-switch to “ON” position.
This will result in the M1 starting to open 2 seconds before M2
and M2 starting to close 2 seconds before M1.
Note:If a lock is to be fitted to the gate, it should be mounted on
the leaf driven by M1. If the delay of 2 seconds is not suitable it
can be altered, see sections SYNCHRONISING DELAY TIME.
on page 16.
INITIALISING OBSTRUCTION FORCE
WARNING: Make sure that the obstruction sensitivity is
adjusted correctly so that, when obstructed with minimum
pressure, the gate(s) reverse to the open position and stops on
opening cycle.
In order for the controller to slow the motors down at the correct
position and to automatically detect overloads, it needs to record
the normal cycle time of each motor in each direction and also
sample each motors normal running time. If the gate(s) is stopped
for some reason during step 2 below, then simply restart the
process. While the open and close cycles are underway, the
control board will not slow the motors and the overload detection
is disabled.
INITIALISATION
1. Engage the motor assembly (Fig. 3 & 4), switch power on at
power point. Replace drive unit cover and lock in place.
2. Close the gate(s) if it is not already closed, by holding down
the OSC button. Once the gate(s) is in the fully closed
position release OSC button. The Red LED should be
steady ON.
3. Press the Reset button on the control board for about two
seconds then release. The gate(s) should start opening. When
the gate(s) reaches the fully open position it will pause and
start to close. When the gate(s) returns to the fully closed
position the initialisation is complete. The controller is now
ready for normal use.
NOTE: The OSC button is the only input which will function
prior to the controller being initialised using the above procedure.
SETTING OVERLOAD SENSITIVITY
The overload sensitivity is adjustable using the OVERLOAD dial.
Position 0 making it easy to overload a motor, increasing through
positions 1 to 8, with position 9 being the hardest. To set, turn the
dial to the desired number to manually increase or decrease the
overload sensitivity.
Standard default is - 5. Areas prone to high wind may require a
slight increase.
NOTE: The gate will exert some force before obstruction sensing
activates. Too light a setting will cause nuisance stopping when
gate starts to age or resistance occurs in gate track rollers or
hinges. Too heavy a setting may cause serious personal injury
and/or property damage.
WARNING: Force adjustment must be set correctly and tested
upon completion of installation. The gate should be tested
periodically to ensure correct operation and adjustment made as
required. The opener must not be used if force setting is incorrect
or inoperative.
NOTE: Whenever the limit cams are adjusted the safety
obstruction system must be cleared and re-initialised as travel
distance may have changed.
MOTOR SPEED CONTROL
At the start of the gate’s cycle the selected motor speed is set
using the SPEED dial with 0 being the slowest and 9 being the
fastest. The motor will be driven at this speed until it nears the end
of the travel, at which time it will be slowed down. The motor
slows down to the speed represented by '3' on the speed dial.
NOTE: Setting the dial to 3 or lower will negate the soft stop
function.
In order for the controller to determine when to slow the motors
down towards the end of its cycle, a complete open and close
cycle must be performed and the travel times of each motor in
each direction established (i.e. initialisation).
To adjust the slow motor speed refer to page 16.

AUTO-CLOSE MODE
Auto-close mode automatically closes the gate after a preset time
once the gate has reached its desired open position. The controller
starts to close the gate when the count down has expired. The
timer can be suspended by activating a suspending input (which
inputs 'suspend' depends on which auto-close mode is selected).
When the input is deactivated the auto-close timer is reset and the
count down recommenced. Auto-close functions are temporarily
disabled by certain actions. When this happens the controller will
not auto-close the gate until the user performs some action to
re-enable the function. Details about the three auto-close modes
follow.
STANDARD AUTO-CLOSE
This mode is selected by placing the mode selection switch
labeled “STANDARD AUTO-CLS” into the “ON” position.
When selected the gate will auto-close 30 seconds after being
fully opened. The following gives details about this auto-close
mode.
Auto-closes after being:
zFully opened. (except when the gate is reversed to the open
position after a motor overload is detected while closing)
Countdown suspended by:
zThe P.E. input being active.
zThe OPN input being active.
Function temporarily disabled by:
zActivating the STP input while the gate is open.
zA motor overload causing the gate to reverse open.
Function re-enabled by:
zActivating the OPN input while the gate is open.
zActivating the OSC input, in SWIPE mode, while the gate is
open.
zBy activating any input which cases the gate leaf to start to
close. The auto-close function will then be enabled once the
gate is re-opened.
The standard delay time of 30 seconds can be altered, see
STANDARD AUTO-CLOSE DELAY TIME, on page 16.
PEDESTRIAN ACCESS AUTO-CLOSE.
This mode is selected by placing the mode selection dip-switch
labeled “PEDESTRIAN AUTO-CLS” into the “ON” position.
When selected, the gate leaf will auto-close 15 seconds after
being opened for pedestrian access.
Auto-closes after being:
zDriven to the programmed pedestrian access position. (Except
when the gate leaf is reversed after a motor overload is
detected.) Reversing during pedestrian access is only
implemented when special PED modes are selected.
zStopped by the P.E. input when closing after pedestrian access
(standard PED mode only).
Countdown suspended by:
zThe P.E. input being active.
zThe PED input being active.
Function temporarily disabled by:
zActivating the STP input while the gate leaf is in the
programmed pedestrian access position.
zActivating the STP input in condition 2 of 'Auto-closes
after being above.
zA motor overload causing the gate to reverse back to the
programmed pedestrian access position. (Reversing during
pedestrian access is only implemented when special PED
modes are selected.)
Function re-enabled by:
zActivating the PED input, in SWIPE mode, while the gate is in
the programmed pedestrian access position. Activating the
PED input and causing the gate leaf to start to close.
The standard delay time of 15 seconds can be altered, see section
PEDESTRIAN ACCESS AUTO-CLOSE DELAY TIME on page
16.
P.E TRIGGERED AUTO-CLOSE
This mode is selected by placing the mode selection dip-switch
labeled “P.E. TRIGGERED AUTO CLS” into the “ON” position.
When this auto-close mode is selected, the gate will auto-close
after the P.E. input has been activated and released since:
1. The gate was last closed
2. The P.E. triggered auto-close function
was re-enabled after being disabled.
3. The SWIPE input was activated.
Auto-closes after the P.E. input has been activated and then
released and the gate:
zIs fully opened. (except when the gate is reversed to the open
position after a motor overload is detected while closing).
zThe gate has been stopped by the P.E. input.
Countdown suspended by:
zThe P.E. input being active.
zThe OPN input being active.
Function temporarily disabled by:
zActivating the STP input.
zA motor overload causing the gate to stop or reverse open.
Function re-enabled by:
zActivating the OPN input while the gate is open.
zActivating the SWIPE input.
zBy activating any input which cases the gate to start to open or
close. The auto-close function will then be enabled once the
gate is re-opened or the P.E. input causes the gate to stop.
MODE SELECTION

MODE SELECTION
If the P.E. input is configured to stop the gate during opening or
closing, then the gate can auto-close from a midway position. This
feature is implemented so that once a vehicle has entered the gate-
way and broken the P.E. beam, the gate will stop. When the P.E.
beam is cleared the gate will auto-close from the stopped position.
This results in the gate not having to fully open and thus reducing
the time unwarranted access through the gate is possible. The
factory set delay time of 1 second is adjustable, see section “P.E.
TRIGGERED AUTO-CLOSE DELAY TIME” below.
MIXING AUTO-CLOSE MODES
The PEDESTRIAN AUTO-CLS mode and the STANDARD
AUTO-CLS mode do not affect each other as one operates during
standard operation and the other during pedestrian access.
However it is possible to have P.E. triggered pedestrian auto-close
by selecting both the PEDESTRIAN AUTO-CLS and P.E.
TRIGGERED AUTO-CLS modes. In this case the gate would
partly open for pedestrian access and then either the P.E.
TRIGGERED AUTO-CLS would cause the gate to auto-close
when a pedestrian walks through and activates the P.E beam or, if
no one walked through the PEDESTRIAN AUTO-CLS would
close the gate. This way the gate is only kept open long enough
for a person to walk through, but with the backup that if no one
walks through the gate will still close. The same concept can be
used with standard operation by selecting both the STANDARD
AUTO-CLS and the P.E. TRIGGERED AUTO-CLS modes. That
is, the gate would only stay open long enough for the vehicle to
pass through but would still auto-close if no vehicle enters.
Note: P.E. TRIGGERED AUTO-CLS will not operate during
pedestrian access unless the PEDESTRIAN AUTO-CLS mode is
also selected.

ACCESSORIES
CONTROL AND SAFETY INPUT TERMINALS
Fig. 19 shows the control and safety input terminals and their
switch contacts. Note that the P.E., OPN and STP inputs require a
normally closed contact, which is provided by the shunts (Fig. 14
and Fig. 19). The appropriate shunt must be removed when the
P.E, OPN or STP inputs are used. The CLS, OSC and PED inputs
require a normally open momentary contact.
ATA Photo Electric Beam - Order Code: 90214
LOCK RELEASE OUTPUT FOR SOLENOID LOCKS
Fig. 20 shows how to connect an electric solenoid lock to the
control board’s lock release output. Note the lock release output
only switches the applied voltage to the lock and must be “wetted”
with the appropriate voltage.
ATA Electric Pulse Lock - Order Code: 90101.
LOCK RELEASE OUTPUT FOR MAGNETIC LOCKS
Fig. 21 shows how to connect an electromagnetic lock to the
control board’s lock release output. Note the lock release output
only switches the applied voltage to the lock and must be wetted
with the appropriate voltage (24V DC in the example shown).
Note: The lock is connected to the normally closed contact of the
lock release output as the lock is energised when the controller is
idle and not driving the motors. The lock output action has to be
programmed for a hold action when this type of lock is used.
LIGHT CONTROL RELAY MODULE
Fig. 22 shows how to connect the optional relay module to the
control board’s connector. It also shows how to wire a light
to the relay module. Any voltage relay can be used provided the
relay module is able to switch the required voltage and current.
Make sure any mains voltage lighting is properly earthed.
ATA Light Relay Module - Order Code: 90111.

BATTERY BACK UP
An optional battery backup system is available so that the gate can
be operated (for a limited time) in the event of mains power failure.
When the backup system is utilised, the control board detects the
presence of mains voltage. If mains power fails the control board
switches to the backup supply provided by a 24V DC battery.
When mains power is restored the control board switches back to
mains supply.
The following items are required to use the battery backup system:
1. A 24VDC battery connected to the control board connector
(Fig. 23). ATA order code 90230
2. Ensure a shunt is placed on the VAC pins.
The control board has a built in charger which maintains the
battery charge when mains power is present. The control board
monitors the battery voltage during use and prevents discharging,
which damages the battery, by shutting down the control board if
the battery voltage gets too low.
The 'IN USE' indicator illuminates when mains is not present and
the battery is being used.
The 'VAC' shunt can be removed to prevent the battery system
being used when mains power fails. The battery charge is still
maintained provided mains is present. This link is provided so that
the controller can be turned off when a backup battery is
connected. It is removed when complete absence of power is
required e.g. when clearing the receivers memory.

TROUBLE SHOOTING
20
Gate does not open or close Check that power is still available at mains power point.
Check that Control Box is plugged into mains power
Check that motor is engaged for automatic operation.
Check all wiring from motor and microswitches to the control board are sound.
Gate reverses while closing or stops
while opening
Check obstruction overload sensitivity adjustment
Check for obstructions.
Disengage the drive unit to manual and check the gate is in good working order.
If a P.E. beam is fitted ensure it is clear of obstructions or dirt on the lens.
Transmitter not functioning New transmitters must be coded to the receiver.
Check/change the battery in the transmitter (LED flashes to indicate low battery).
Having the antenna behind a structure (gate or fence) or not in line of sight may
reduce optimal range/reception.
Interference from external/outside sources such as baby monitors, or radio transmitter
etc. The best solution is to remove the source causing the interference.
Gate and/or opener requires service Contact the installer of the opener or local ATA dealer for service. They will be able
to inspect, service, adjust or repair the gate and opener as necessary.
