3.1 Functional description
dGate has a motorized system to open and close the access doors, which are activated
once a user is identied and authorized to enter. A sensor system is employed to identify
and prevent unauthorized people from entering or the attempt of “tailgating.” These
sensors also protect the users from harm.
The equipment’s operation mechanism is activated by a brushless permanent magnet
motor.
Since the motor does not employ a set of brushes to perform the electric activation,
there is no mechanical wearing of electric contacts, extending the motor’s lifespan.
To assemble a passage, you will always need two modules. On the right side, monitoring
the passage from the free area to the controlled area, there will be a Receiver-type
module; on the other side, on the left, there will mandatorily be a Transmitter-type
module or a Receiver/Transmitter module, if there is more than one passage.

Transmitter (T)
Receiver/Transmitter (RT)

Receiver (R): It is the side that has the receiving sensors and the electric panel, where
are installed: the interconnection board, the passage control module (MCP), the power
terminal strip (BN1), and the source module.
Transmitter (T): It is the side that has the transmitter sensors and the dGate
interconnection board. By default, all interconnection cables are installed in the
Transmitter side.
ATTENTION! - To assemble a full layout, with more than one passage, there
are hybrid door modules called RT (Receiver+Transmitter).
Receiver e Transmitter (RT): It is a module than has a Receiving side and a
Transmitting side. All sets described above in R and T are installed in this module.

4. Unpacking, Installation, and Electric Connection
ATTENTION! - This equipment should be installed only by qualied technical
persons. The installation should observe all local standards and regulations.
4.1 Package opening
Since the items in the package can vary (depending on what the client requested),
it is extremely important that you carefully visually check it before you begin the
installation and assembling process. All Digicon packages come with a checklist
to guide you in this inspection.
ATTENTION! - Check if the package is not damaged at the receipt of the
equipment. If it is, take pictures of it and send them to the transport company
responsible.
CAREFUL - RISK OF LESION/INJURY!: The package is heavy. It weights
around 140/150 kg. You will need to use the proper transportation equipment to
carry it, like a pallet truck;
CAREFUL - RISK OF LESION/INJURY!: Always use the necessary PPEs
(gloves, shoes, and safety goggles).

4.1.3 Steps to open the package:
1. Unscrew the outer part of the box. There are three screws on each side, one
screw on the front, and another screw on the back, totaling eight hexagonal
screws.
2. Lift the cover of the box vertically. It ideally should be done by two people. Lift
until the cover is above the module.

3. Once the cover is removed, you will need to remove the side doors of the
module to access the screws attaching it to the bottom of the package (pallet).
The keys of the doors are in a package that comes with the user’s information
and orientation guide.
CAREFUL! - The side doors can be made out of glass, so handle them carefully
to avoid breaking them or hurt the technician or user.
