PLEASE STA RT B Y READING THESE IMPORTANT SAFETY RULES SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Installation and wiring must be in compliance with
your local building and electrical installation codes.
Power cables must only be connected to a properly
earthed supply.
Any entrapment possibility by the moving wing
between wing & walls must be secured with safety
edges or IR-sensors.
Disconnect electric power to the system before
making repairs or removing covers.
A disconnecting device must be provided in the
permanently-wired installation to guarantee all-pole
disconnection by means of a switch (at least 3mm
contact gap) or by a separate fuse.
When using tools and small parts to install or carry
out repair work on a gate exercise caution and do
not wear rings, watches or loose clothing.
Make sure that people who install, maintain or
operate the gate drive follow these instructions. Keep
these instructions in a safe place so that you can
refer to them quickly when you need to.
Please remove any locks fitted to the gate in order to
prevent damage to the gate.
It is important to make sure that the gate always
runs smoothly. Gates which stick or jam must be
repaired immediately. Employ a qualified technician
to repair the gate, never attempt to repair it yourself.
This safety alert symbol means "Caution" - failure to comply with such an instruction involves risk of personal injury or
damage to property. Please read these warnings carefully.
This gate drive mechanism is designed and tested to offer appropriately safe service provided it is installed and operated
in strict accordance with the following safety rules.
Incorrect installation and/or failure to comply with the following instructions may result in serious personal injury or
property damage.
Keep additional accessories away from children. Do
not allow children to play with pushbuttons or remote
controls. A gate can cause serious injuries as it
closes.
After the installation a final test of the full function of
the system and the full function of the safety
devices must be done.
The full protection against potential squeeze or
entrapment must work direct when the drive arms are
installed.
This drive cannot be used with a gate incorporating
a wicket door unless the drive cannot be operated
with the wicket door open.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN
The drive mechanism needs room to the side permitting correct installation of drive arms. Please make sure that this is available. Gates affected
by high wind loads must also be protected by an (electric) lock.
There are many factors to consider when choosing the right drive mechanism. Assuming that a gate functions properly, "startup" is the most difficult
phase, once the gate is in motion, significantly less force is usually required to move it.
• Gate size: Gate size is a very important factor. Wind can brake or distort the gate, thereby increasing the amount of force needed to move it
considerably.
• Gate weight: The weight of the gate in not as relevant as the size.
• Effect of temperature: Low outdoor temperatures can make initial startup more difficult (changes in the ground, etc.) or even prevent it. High
outdoor temperatures along with frequent use can trigger thermal protection prematurely (approx. 135 ºC).
• Operating frequency/operating time: Drive mechanisms are designed for a maximum operating time (running time) of approximately 30% (e.g.
30% during any one hour).
IMPORTANT: The drive mechanism is not designed to operate continuously at its maximum operating time (non-stop operation). Otherwise the
drive mechanism becomes too hot and switches off until it cools down to the switch-on temperature. The outdoor temperature and the gate are
important parameters that affect the actual operating time.
INSTALLATION CHECKLIST - PREPARATIONS
Check the carton contents and read the instructions carefully. Make sure your gate equipment operates perfectly. The gate must run evenly and
smoothly and must not stick at any point. Remember that the ground level may be several centimeters higher in winter. The gate must be stable
and as free of backlash in order to prevent any unwanted movement. The more smoothly the gate wing runs, the more sensitive the force
adjustment must be.
Write down any materials you still need and obtain them before starting to install. Heavy-duty plugs, bolts, gate stops, cables, distribution boxes,
tools, etc.
GATE TYPES
The gate type determines the location where the drive mechanism is installed. If the gate stop is on the ground, the drive mechanism must also
be installed at a height that is as low as possible so that it cannot twist the gate. Use only parts of the gate frame for fixing purposes.
For steel gates, the gate fitting must be attached to the main frame. If you are uncertain whether the available support is sufficiently stable,
reinforce it.
In the case of wooden gates, the gate fitting must be bolted through. It is advisable to fit a plate from the outside so that the fixing brackets cannot
become loose over time. Thin wooden gates must also be reinforced in order to withstand the stresses encountered.

GATE CONFIGURATION
How far must the gate wing open?
90 degrees or up to 115 degrees. An opening angle in excess of 115 degrees is possible but is not recommended. Reason: the drive mechanism
always runs at the same speed. The further the gate has to be opened, the faster the wing must travel. Movement becomes more erratic and this
subjects the fittings and gate to extreme stresses. Different opening angles cause one motor to reach its destination first, but continues to run,
thereby forcing the gate up against the gate stop until the other motor eventually reaches its end position.
GATE STOPS
A SWING GATE NEEDS A FIXED GATE STOP IN BOTH THE OPEN AND CLOSE POSITIONS. Gate stops save wear and tear on the motor,
gate and fittings. Operating a gate without fixed limit stops results in poor performance. It is often dangerous, leads to premature wear and voids
Your warranty!

POST FIXING BRACKET
Choosing the correct location for the post fixing bracket has a decisive impact on the subsequent functioning of the system. It determines the
distance between the motor's centre of motion and the gate's centre of motion and hence the opening angle. These dimensions are referred to as
dimension A and dimension B. Do not underestimate the effect that these dimensions have on correct functioning and running. Try to achieve the
best possible dimension for your opening angle that is suitable for all circumstances. See Table for dimensions A/B.
If the post is not wide enough, an extension piece must be fitted to it. If the post is too thick, cut out part of it to make it thinner or offset the gate.
To obtain ideal dimensions, it may be necessary to shorten or lengthen the supplied hinge plate. In the case of gates that are to be custom made,
if the gate hinges are fitted on the posts appropriately, it is possible to influence dimensions A and B. Before the final mounting dimensions are
determined, you should always check whether or not there is any possibility that the corner of the drive mechanism will hit the post as the gate
swings.
INSTALLATION: The drive mechanism exerts considerable force against the post. Usually, acceptable mounting dimensions are obtained if the
supplied hinge plate is welded directly onto the post. In the case of thick stone or concrete posts, the hinge must be welded to a base plate and
attached so that the plugs cannot work loose during operation. Heavy-duty plugs where a threaded rod is bonded into the masonry stress-free are
more suitable for this purpose than steel or plastic straddling plugs. In the case of brickwork pillars, bolt a relatively large steel plate that covers
several bricks on to it and then weld the hinge plate to it. An angled plate attached over the corner of the post is also a good means of fixing the
operators.

GATE FITTING
The gate fitting must be installed so that it is horizontal relative to the post bracket. The distance between the gate bracket and post bracket is
referred to as the "arm span". When the gate is closed, the drive mechanism is 95% extended. When the gate is opened, the drive mechanism is
5% extended. Fully retracting or extending the plunger/spindle in operation (with gate) damages the drive mechanism and voids the warranty. It is
absolutely imperative to comply with the required arm span under all circumstances!
For steel gates, fixings should be welded on or through bolted. When through bolting the gate, use large washers or a plate on the other side.
The drive mechanism exerts an extremely high force on this joint.Fixings must be through bolted for wooden gates. It is recommended that metal
plates be fitted on either side of the gate, to prevent the fixings from becoming loose.
RELEASE
The drive mechanism can be released. The gate can then be opened
and operated manually (power failure). With a new drive mechanism,
the release action may sometimes feel stiff/jerky. This is normal and
has no effect on function.
Release and Engage
Place the hexagonal key into the hole provided in the cover. Engage
or disengage the motor.

5
INSTALLING THE DRIVE ARMS
Release the drive. Push the released drive onto the fittings and secure it by using the supplied bolts and rings.
WIRING
The 4-pole connecting cable is approx. 80 cm long and is laid in a curve to the controller or a watertight distribution box located above ground. An
approved cable is permanently installed from the distribution box onwards. The capacitor can be connected inside the distribution box or in the
controller.
Connection: Connect the capacitor across terminals CL and OP. CL and COM produce rotation direction A. OP and COM produce reversed direction
of rotation. Always remember to earth the installation.
MAINTENANCE WORK
The drive mechanism is maintenance free. Check that the gate fittings and the drive mechanism are securely fixed at regular intervals (monthly).
Release the drive and check that the gate functions properly. Unless the gate runs smoothly it will not operate correctly with the drive mechanism. The
drive cannot eliminate the problems caused by a gate that does not work satisfactorily.
CENTRAL UNIT
it's suggested to connect the central unit as last connection
See the user manual of the central unit (ex. PCM20).
ELECTRONIC CONTROL
The control board should be the last item to be connected, i.e. mounting the motors, laying the necessary cable and fitting light barriers or contact
strips. If installation is to be performed in a permanent location, a means of disconnecting the equipment from the mains supply with a contact
clearance of at least 3 mm is needed (master switch).
Please note: in these instructions, relay contacts are designated NC (normal closed) or NO (normal open).
• NC contacts are closed and open
• NO contacts are open and close
Humidity and water will destroy the control board. Always make sure that water, humidity and condensation cannot enter the control box. It is
vitally important that all openings and cable glands are sealed so that they are watertight.
Materials required (details vary depending on particular application)
• Distribution box
• Buried cable, at least 1.5 mm2
• Buried cable, at least 0.5mm2
• Screws
• Wall plugs
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
Installing the electronic control board: the motor control board is a microprocessor-controlled electronic appliance featuring state-of-the-art
technology. It is equipped with all the connecting options and functions needed to guarantee safe operation. An overview of the wiring plan is
shown in fig. 12D. The control box incorporating the motor control board should be installed with the cable intakes pointing downwards fig. 12A. It
should not be continuously exposed to direct sunlight. The electronic equipment enables the pull and push forces to be set with great accuracy. If
installed and set correctly, the gate/door can be stopped manually. When in motion, the gate/door can be stopped at any time by operating the
remote control, the push-button or the key-operated switch.
The gate/door wing must be fitted with a robust end stop for the 'OPEN' and 'CLOSED' positions as the gate/door drive has no limit switches.
Current distribution: the cable leading from the drive arm must be laid in a standard watertight distribution box. A permanently installed cable can
be laid from the distribution box to the control unit. It is often possible to wire the drive, which is fixed beside the control unit directly to the box.
Never install distribution boxes underground.

Generally speaking, the following minimum cable cross-sectional areas must be adhered to:
2
100-230Volt 1.5mm or more
2
0-24Volt 0.5mm or more
Tips: Bell wire is often problematic in practical use because it loses too much voltage if long lengths of wire are used.
Segregate the cables in cable trunking, i.e. motor cable and light barrier cable, especially in the case of key-operated switches and ON switches
(from the house wiring system) to prevent interference where long lengths of cable are used.
OVERVIEW OF CONNECTIONS
Motors: connect the control unit exactly in accordance with the overview of connections. The gate/door wing, which opens first, must be motor 1
(M1) and when it first moves it must OPEN the gate/door. If it closes the gate/door, swap terminal 6 with terminal 8 or, in the case of motor 2
(M2), swap terminal 9 with terminal 11.
The capacitor supplied as standard must be installed between cables 6 and 8 and 9 and 11 (for space reasons, the capacitor can also be installed
in a distribution box). Make sure that its terminals are properly connected and that there is a good electrical connection. The capacitor determines
the force which the motor subsequently
