WARNING

Important Safety Information

Gate equipment has hazards associated with its use and therefore by installing this product the

installer and user accept full responsibility for following and noting the installation and safety

instructions. Failure to follow installation and safety instructions can result in hazards developing

due to improper assembly.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY AND COMPLETELY before attempting to install and

use this automatic gate operator. This gate operator produces a high level of force. Stay clear of

the unit while it is operating and exercise caution at all times.

All safety instructions should be read and completely understood by the installer and the owner

prior to the installation of the TMT gate system. This product is designed and manufactured for

the use indicated in the manual.

Remember that all automatic gates are intended for vehicular gates only. A separate gate or

entrance must be installed for pedestrian use. Any other use, not expressly indicated may

damage the product or be a source of danger.

Swing Gate Motor - TMT 400LLS

TMT 400LLS gate motor is suitable for light - heavy gates. Do not use it on large sized gates

which exceed the maximum recommended gate weight and length nor on gates with rising hinges

or self closing hinges. Wrong selection of motor will result in an unreliable operation and will void

your warranty.

Please Read This First!

Thank you for purchasing the TMT “do-it-yourself” automatic gate opener! When correctly installed

and properly used, your TMT gate opener will give you many years of reliable service.

The TMT Opener is designed for installation on a pull-to-open or push-to-open gate and can be

used on aluminum, chain link, farm tube, wrought iron gates and timber gates.

TMT can be installed onto solid gates with a maximum size of 3.5mtrs long x 1.8mtrs high.

The Electric Gate Lock must be installed when gate are over 3.5mtrs or 40% of the gates surface

area is enclosed.

The TMT gate opener accommodates extra transmitters, digital keypads, solar panels, push

buttons, electric gate locks, and other access control products.

The TMT gate opener features an obstruction sensor. This feature makes the gate stop and

reverse when it comes in contact with an obstruction. This sensitivity can be adjusted on the main

control board.

The TMT gate opener has an adjustable auto-close feature. After the gate reaches the fully open

position, it can be set to remain open up to 300 seconds before automatically closing. Pressing the

transmitter button at any time after the gate opens fully will cause it to close immediately.

OFF is the factory setting; meaning the gate will stay open until you press the transmitter

(or keypad, etc.) again. You can adjust this in the menu settings.

Important Safety Information

Because automatic gate operators 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 the end user with

convenience, security, and safety.

This manual contains various safety precautions and warnings for the installer and end user.

Because there are many possible applications of the gate operator, the safety precautions and

warnings contained in this manual cannot be completely exhaustive in nature. It does, however,

provide an overview of the safe design, installation, and use of this product.

CAREFULLY READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS, WARNINGS AND

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS TO ENSURE THE SAFE SYSTEM DESIGN, INSTALLATION

AND USE OF THIS PRODUCT.

Because the TMT automatic gate opener is only part of the total gate operating system, it is the

responsibility of the installer and end user to ensure that the total system is safe for its intended

use.

For the Installer and End User

1. Attach the warning sign (included) to the gate to alert the public of automatic gate operation.

2. The gate is automatic and could move at any time, posing serious risk of entrapment. No one

should be in contact with the gate when it is moving or stationary.

3. Do not attempt to drive into the gate area while the gate is moving; wait until the gate comes to

a complete stop.

4. Do not attempt to “race the gate” while the gate is closing. This is extremely dangerous.

5. Do not allow children or pets near your gate. Never let children operate or play with gate con-

trols. Keep the remote control away from children and unauthorized users; store controls where

children and unauthorized users do not have access to them.

6. KEEP GATE SYSTEM MAINTAINED. Always disconnect any power source from the operator

before performing any maintenance.

7. To operate this equipment safely, YOU must know how to disconnect the operator for manual

gate operation.

8. Disconnect the operator ONLY when all power sources are DISCONNECTED and the gate is

NOT moving.

9. Make arrangements with local re and law enforcement for emergency access.

10. Distribute and discuss copies of the IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION section of this man-

ual with all persons authorized to use your gate.

11. IMPORTANT: Save these safety instructions. Make sure everyone who is using or will be

around the gate and gate operator are aware of the dangers associated with automated gate

systems. In the event you sell the property with the gate operator or sell the gate operator, pro-

vide a copy of these safety instructions to the new owner.

After Installation

Page 5

To reduce the risk of injury or death:

1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.

2. Never let children operate or play with gate controls. Keep the remote control away from

children.

3. Always keep people and objects away from the gate. NO ONE SHOULD CROSS THE PATH

OF THE MOVING GATE.

4. Test the gate operator monthly.

5. Use the manual/emergency release only when the gate is not moving.

6. KEEP GATES PROPERLY MAINTAINED.

7. The entrance is for vehicles only. Pedestrians must use separate entrance.

8. The gate must be installed in a location that provides adequate clearance between it and ad-

jacent structures when opening and closing to reduce the risk of entrapment. Swinging gates

must not open into public access areas.

Owner should observe the following:

1. Do not cross the gate while it is operating.

2. Keep children away from the gate and the remote controls.

3. Test the system frequently and monitor the high and low speed of the system.

4. Practice the use of the emergency release key. This is crucial in the event that the system

does not work.

5. Place the WARNING signs prominently on the gate to warn pedestrians of the automatic gate

operation on your premises. It is your responsibility to post the warning signs on both sides of

the gate.

Installer should observe the following:

1. Make sure the gate weight and length does not exceed the maximum specications.

2. The gate design must be suitable for the installation of the auto gate system.

3. Ensure that the gate is installed level and plumb and can swing freely in both directions along

the entire swing of the gate. A properly balanced swinging type gate should NOT swing open

or swing close when no pushing or pulling force is exerted onto it.

4. Control panel box must be installed in the area where it is not easily damaged.

5. Do not change with parts or components not supplied by manufacturer.

6. Make sure all wiring is correct and in accordance with electrical bylaws and in good condition

before supplying the mains power to the control panel.

7. Remove all power when doing any maintenance including solar.

8. Ensure the control panel box is free from water leakage and insects to avoid short circuiting of

the control panel. Silicon off any holes (moth balls may also help in the prevention of insects)

9. Never supply mains power directly to the DC motor

10. Transformer MUST be connected to mains power via RCD (residual current device).

11. Do not install the operating system if in doubt.

Before You Begin

POWER OPTIONS

1. Transformer or solar

NEVER USE TRANSFORMER AND SOLAR PANEL(S) AT THE SAME TIME.

It will damage the control board.

IMPORTANT

Transformer is suitable for outdoor use. Use 2.5mm twin core cable (max cable run 30mtrs)

Can run solar panel cable up to 30mtrs if required for suitable lighting

Additional solar panels can be added to increase charge rate.

SOLAR PANEL

The solar panel should face full NORTH with a minimum of 6 hours of DIRECT sun exposure to be

effective (ltered sunlight not acceptable). The solar regulator supplied is not weatherproof and

must be located in the main battery box to protect it.

The performance of your gate opener is dependent on your geographical location, weather

conditions and seasonal lighting availability. On cloudy days and during winter, your solar panel

will not receive as much direct sunlight, resulting in reduced output and may reduce operating

time. Accessories connected to your system will draw additional power from the battery. It is

recommended to not use more than 1 hard wired device, such as keypad, gsm, safety beams etc.

For maximum charge see below for your area and recommended tilt:

Brisbane 38°

Sydney 45°

Melbourne 50°

Tasmania 56°

Adelaide 48°

Darwin 14°

Perth 43°

0° being at and 90° vertical

Important: just one

INCORRECT CORRECT

Page 11

IMPORTANT: Check For Proper Gate Installation

• The gate must be plumb, level, and swing freely on its hinges.

• The gate must move throughout its arc without binding or dragging on the ground.

• A properly leveled/plumbed gate will not have the tendency to self-open or self-close and re-

main stationery. A self-opening or closing gate suggests that the gate is not level/plumb. This

will cause accelerated wear to your automatic gate system.

• Wheels must NOT be attached to the gate.

• Post must be secured in the ground with concrete (minimizes twist/ex when the operator is

activated).

• Make sure there is a stable area for mounting the gate bracket.

• We recommend you position the operator near the centre-line of the gate to keep the gate from

twisting and exing, and to avoid back-splash from rain.

• We highly recommend using either nylon bush or bearing hinges to achieve maximum specs.

• Poor hinges will reduce gate openers specs.

A - Level

B - Plumb

C - Free Swinging

D - Secured Posts in Concrete

E - Good Working Hinges

Page 12

Installation Pointers

The proper position of the Primary (post bracket) and Secondary Brackets and gate bracket is

crucial to the efciency and leverage of the gate opener. Attention needs to be paid to both its

correct height and its position on the post in respect to the relationship between your gate hinge

pivot point and the motor pivot point on the bracket. Once you have determined the general

desired height of the actuator arm, position the bracket and take note of the dimensions.

For a single gate, it’s best to locate the actuator arms approximately in the middle between the

top and bottom of the gate. This will prevent the gate from twisting or exing and provide a more

even pull and push over the entire gate. Double gates are best off with the actuator arms mounted

between the middle of the gate and the bottom frame.

Pull-to-Open and Push-to-Open (Terminology)

• For pull-to-open gate - Arm is fully retracted when the gate is fully opened (gate pulls inwards)

• For push-to-open gate - Arm is fully extended when the gate is fully opened (gate pushes out-

wards)

Mounting of the Control Box

Select a at and sturdy surface for the mounting of the control box.

Care must be taken to ensure that the mounting screws and holes on the control panel are

properly sealed to prevent water seepage and insects into the control box (silicon around screws).

All cabling must go through the entry holes located at the bottom of the control box.

Water damage or insect damage to the control board will void your warranty.

The mounting point guides located in your control box serves only as reference and a guide for

your installation. We recommend that the mounting points be lower then the control board, so that

in the unlikely event that water seeps in, it will not ow onto the control board.

Actuator Arm Dimension Chart

Pull to open setup only

Comply with the measurements shown on the chart for proper installation.

Adjust the gate structure if necessary to t the automation.

Before preceding the installation, be sure that gate moves freely and that:

1. Hinges are properly positioned and greased.

2. No obstacles in the moving area.

3. No frictions between two gate leafs or with the ground while moving

4. “C” value is 140mm - 165mm (maximum)

5. “D” can be measured from the gate easily and should not exceed 100mm

6. “A” = “C” + “D”

7. The value of “B” can be calculated from the value of “A” and the leaves opening angle.

Ex. If “A” = 160mm with the leaves opening angle of 100 degrees, then the value of “B” is

approximate 190mm.

** Please make sure “B” and “A” are similar or the same in value that the leaves can

be operated smoothly, also to reduce the burden of the motor.

Only use this Chart if your

gate setup is pull to open

Page 15

Installing the Gate Stop

Double Gates

Installing the rubber gate stop is required to ensure proper alignment of the two gates and for them

to have a solid push onto the stopper in the fully-closed position.

Single Gates

The gate should either stop onto a post in the closed position, or you can use the rubber gate stop

and place it onto the post allowing the gate to have a solid push in the closed position. If using the

rubber stop, make sure you place it on the same level as the actuator arm to avoid bending and

twisting of the gate.

Full-Close Position

Each gate must stop on a rm and well secured Gate Stop in the closed position. Failure to do so

may result in misalignment and accelerated wear to the system and the gate hinges.

Full-Open Position

In the full-open position, the gates can either be hard stopped by a peg / stopper, or be stopped by

the internal built-in mechanism at the end of the retracted arm (Pull-to-Open gate) or fully

extended arm (Push-to-Open gate).

It is highly recommended that you do install a gate stop for the gate/s to close onto.

If there is no physical way for you to achieve this setup then you will need to set the actuator arms

via their limit switch settings which you will nd instructions for on page 34

Control Box Installation

1. Decide the installation position of control box rst, it is suggested to be installed near the gate

and should be protected from possible damage. Be aware of the motor cable length before

deciding the installation position.

2. Remove the cover by unscrewing the four screws on the cover. See Figure A

3. Use a screwdriver to puncture the holes beneath the bottom of the control box. See Figure B

4. Secure it on the wall. See Figure C

Page 16

Wiring in your power option

Solar setup

Once your main control box is secured to a post

or fence, locate your battery box with all parts.

Inside your battery box is a long black cable

with internal red and blue cables stripped back.

This cable will be used to wire from the main

control board to your solar regulator. Wire your

red and blue cable to your main control board

as show in image A. Making sure that red wires

to positive (+) and blue wires to negative (-). If

polarity is reversed you will damage the control

board and void your warranty.
