8NeoSliderTM - Sliding Gate Opener NES-24V2 Owner Installation Instructions
The Automatic Technology NeoSlider™ sliding gate opener is
designed to operate most residential sliding gates. The gates must
be in good working condition and should operate freely by hand.
4.1 Initial Checking
Before commencing installation of the NeoSlider™, check the
following:
a. The gate moves freely and easily by hand for the full opening
and closing travel.
b. The mounting point must be solidy constructed, e.g concrete,
brick or steel, and must be capable of withstanding the full force
applied to the gate.
c. Select a suitable location for mounting the drive unit. This
position is usually established by fully opening the gate and
mounting the drive unit within a suitable distance of the gate
edge.
d. A weather-proof 240v 10 amp power outlet must be located
within one (1) metre of the NeoSlider™ mounting point.
e. If Safety Beams are to be installed, provision for underground
cabling should be made from one side of the gateway to the
other.
4.2 Mounting the Drive Unit
The NeoSlider™ mounting holes are slotted for fine adjustment of
pinion gear and gate rack alignment. Follow the procedure below
to ensure final adjustments can be made later.
We recommend that four 8mm (5
/
16”) or 10mm (3
/
8”) loxins and
bolts are used to secure the Drive Unit into position. These loxins
usually require a 16mm (5
/
8”) masonry drill bit (if drilling concrete).
a. Prior to mounting the NeoSlider™, determine the distance from
the gate to the outer edge of the rack (i.e. the rack width) and to
the datum line (see Fig. 4.2 and Fig. 5.1). If using an Automatic
Technology plastic rack, the width is 40mm. If using a different
brand of rack, please ensure it is Module 4 and then confirm the
width, as this will vary.
b. Mark a line parallel to the face of the gate for the mounting holes.
The distance from the gate is determined by the formula (38mm
+ Rack Width). Therefore, if using an Automatic Technology
rack, the distance is 78mm. Otherwise, if using a non-Automatic
Technology rack, add your rack width (and spacers if required)
to the 38mm (see Fig. 4.2).
c. Another 100mm back, mark another line parallel to that
described in point 2 for fixing. (see Fig. 4.2).
d. Open the gate to the desired open position. Mark a line at a
right angle to the gate 120-150mm from the open edge of the
gate for the mounting holes.
e. Then mark another line 268mm parallel to this line (see Fig. 4.2).
f. Place the Drive Unit in position where the lines intersect to check
the mounting position. If satisfied with the position, remove the
Drive Unit.
g. Drill the four mounting holes where the lines intersect.
h. Hammer the loxins into position, place the NeoSlider™ and fix
with the four bolts. Remember when tightening the bolts to
allow fine adjustement of the NeoSlider™ later on.

cable.
