MOUNTINGTHERACK
Therackisalengthofsteelthathasnylonteethattachedtoit.Therackisattachedtothegateby
meansofTEKscrews.Therackmesheswiththepiniongearonthemotorwhichthendrivesthe
gate.
Itisveryimportantthattherackismountedsecurelyandthattherackmesheswiththepiniongear
forthefulllengthofthegate.Anysectionofrackthatistootightortooloosewillcauseproblems
withtheoperationofthegate.
Step1:ensurethatthemotorisatleast7mmabovethegroundlevelandthatthegateisinthe
closedposition.FigA
Step2:placeapieceoftherackonthepinionofthemotor,ensuringthattheteethoftherackand
thepinionmeshcorrectly.
Step3:nowfastentheracktothegateusingtheTEKscrews.TheTEKscrewshouldbeplacedin

Step4:pushthegatetowardstheopenpositioncontinuingtosecuretheracktothefulllengthof
thegate.Ensurethattherackissecurelymeshedwiththepinionatalltimesduringthisoperation.
Repeatstep4untilthefulllengthofrackisattachedtothegate.
Step5:usingthejackupboltsunderthemotor,dropthemotor2mm,thisallowsaslightgapbe
tweentheteethoftherackandthepinionsoastopreventanybindingortightspotsontherack.

MOUNTINGTHEMAGNET
Thegapbetweenthemotorandthemagnet,whenthemagnetpassesthemotor,mustnotexceed3mm.

PROGRAMMINGTHEMOTOR
Themotormustbeprogrammedinorderthatthegateoperatecorrectly.Onceprogrammingiscom
plete,theprogramisheldinthememoryonthemicrochipandthereisnoneedtoreprogramthemotor
aftertheinitialprogram.
Itisimportanttonotethatthefollowingpointsshouldbecheckedbeforethegateisprogrammed.
·Gearboxisfilledwiththegearboxoil.
·Motorislevel.
·Rackissecuretothegateandengagedwiththepiniongear.
·Thegatehasadequateendstops.(DONOTautomateagatewithoutendstops)
·ThegatemustrunfreelyandnotjamatANYpointinitstravel.
·Themagnetismountedcorrectly.
TOPROGRAMTHEMOTOR:
Ensurethatallpowerisremovedfromtheboard.
TheLCDscreenisdesignedtoassistwiththeprogrammingofthemotor.
Step1:manuallyopenthegate1m1.5m.
Step2:engagethemotorusingthethumbwheel.
Step3:have dip switch 1 & 2 in the 'ON' position
Step4:applythebatterypower.ThethreeLED’swillflashrapidly.TheLCDwillsay
“PROGRAMMODEPRESSBUTTON”
Step5:presstheTESTbuttononthePCboard.Thegatewillautomaticallydothefollowing:
a) Closeslowlyuntiltheendstopisstruck
b) Openslowlyuntiltheendstopisstruck.
Step7:afterclosingitwillautomaticallyreopen.Now the LCD screen will say 'PUT SW 1 OFF' The
motorisnowfullyprogrammedandreadyfornormaluse.
InStep6thegatemustcloseaftertriggeringthemotor.Ifthegateopensinsteaditindicatesthatthe
motorwiresneedtobereversed.Thiswillchangethemotordirection.{SeeSettingthemotordirection}
Donotconnectanyauxiliarywirestotheboarduntilthemotorisfullyprogrammed.

SETTINGTHEOVERCURRENT
Itisrecommendedthatthecurrentsensingisleftassetinthefactory.Increasingthecurrentsensing
maycauseseriousinjuryordamageinthecaseofthegatestrikingapersonorobject.
Overcurrentistheamountofforcethatthemotordeliversbeforestoppingwhenanobjectisstruck.
Theamountofforceiscontrolledbythetwopotentiometers(pots)foundonthemainPCboard.
Toincreasetheamountofforceturnthepotsclockwise.Todecreasetheamountofforce turnthe
potscounterclockwise.NOTE!thecurrentsensingissetinthefactoryandshouldonlybe
changedifabsolutelynecessary.
Usingasmallflatscrewdriver
turnthepotstoincreaseor
decreasethecurrentsensing
ofthemotor
To program remotes to the on-board receiver complete the following steps. (Note: once remotes are
programmed, the jumper must not be left on both pins, can be connected to 1 pin for safe storage) It is
recommended that the remotes are numbered in order of programming. This will assist with erasing
any lost or stolen remote at a later stage.
Step 1: place the jumper over the two pins on the PC Board called TX- L and leave on
Step 2: press and hold the button that is to trigger the gate opener on the remote for 2 seconds,
repeat process this step for each remote
Step 3: remove the jumper from the two pins.
That particular button on the remotes is now programmed to the receiver.

ERASING ALL REMOTES PROGRAMMED TO THE RECEIVER
1: insert learn jumper over pins marked TX-L and do NOT remove the jumper
2: for pedestrian opening press a remote button until the LED flashes twice.
3: release button
4: continue the above steps to add additional remotes for pedestrian opening to a maximum of 18
remotes.
5: remove jumper
Please note if auto close is on the pedestrian mode will work on the auto close time
Step1: place the jumper over the two pins called TX-E
Step2: LED will flash 10 times or once it flashes erratic, then remove jumper

SETTINGPARTYMODE(AUTOCLOSEOVERIDE)
Partymodeistheautocloseoverridemode.Thismeansthatthegatewillremainopenandignorethe
autoclosetime.
Tosetpartymode:
Pressandholdtheremotebuttondown.Thegatewillopenimmediately.Continueholdingdownfor15
secondsuntiltheLCDdisplaysPARTYMODE.
Toresetthegatetonormaloperation:
Presstheremotebuttontwicewithintwoseconds.
Thegatewillstarttoclose.ThegateisnowinnormalmodeagainandwillusetheAutoclosefunction.
AUTO-CLOSE
Auto-close is an option that allows the gate to close automatically after a chosen time delay, this delay
can be from 10 to 70 seconds. Auto-close is selected by using the dipswitches on the main PC Board.
Dipswitch numbers 6,7 and 8 are the auto-close time select switches. The times are as follows.
6 off ; 7 off; 8 off = no auto-close
6 on; 7 off; 8 off = 10 seconds
6 off; 7 on; 8 off = 20 seconds
6 off; 7 off; 8 on = 40 seconds
6 on; 7 on; 8 on = 70 seconds
Any combination can be used to select the desired auto-close time.
It is strongly recommended that BMG safety beams are used when Auto-Close is
selected as this reduces the chance of the gate closing on an object and causing
injury or damage.
