gates.
The automatic gate operator must be grounded.
Install the gate operator on the inside of the property DO NOT install
it on the outside of the property where the public has access to it.
Be careful when in close proximity to moving parts where hands or
fingers could be pinched.

4. Mechanical Installation
The D-FORCE600VA will handle gate weighting up to 600kg and up to
8m/12m if the proper installation procedures have been followed.
The D-FORCE600VA gate operator operates by forcing a drive rack by a
drive gear. The entire configuration is shown in the diagram below. The
gate operator must be installed on the inside of the gate.

Gate preparation
Be sure the gate is properly installed and slides smoothly before installing
the D-FORCE600VA sliding gate operator. The gate must be plumb, level,
and move freely.
Conduit
In order to protect the cable, use PVC conduit for low voltage power cable
and control wires. Conduit must be preset into the concrete when it is
poured. Wires within the conduit shall be located or protected so that no
damage can result from contact with any rough or sharp part.
Concrete pad
The base unit of the gate operator requires a concrete pad in order to
maintain proper stability. The concrete pad should be approximately
450mm x 300mm x 200mm deep in order to providing for adequate weight
and structure to insure proper stable installation.
Anchors (see Fig.2)
You can use anchor bolts, anchors, washers and nuts. These anchors must
be set into the concrete when it is poured or you can use wedge anchors to

After the concrete has hardened, mount the gate operator base to the
concrete pad. Verify that the base is properly leveled.
Using bolts and washers mount the gate operator to the base and insert the
cover. Check the operator and make sure it is lined up with the gate.

Installation of ack
Fix the three nuts (in the same package with rack) on the rack element.
Lay the first piece of rack on the gear and weld the first nut on the
gate.
Move the gate manually, checking if the rack is resting on the gear,
and weld the second and third nut.
Bring another rack element near to the previous one. Move the gate
manually and weld the three nuts as the first rack, thus proceeding
until the gate is fully covered.
When the rack has been installed, to ensure it meshes correctly with
the gear.
The space between rack and gear is about 0.5mm.

5. Adjustment
Spring limit switch
To ensure safety, it is recommended to install limit switches at both
ends of the gate to prevent the gate from sliding out of the rails. The
rails must be installed horizontally.
Install the limit block as shown in Fig.5 and Fig.6. The spring limit
switch and blocks are used to control the position of the gate.
Release the gear with the key and push the sliding gate manually to
pre-determine the position, fix the block to the rack and lock the gear
by push up the release bar. Moving the gate electrically, adjust the
block to the proper position until the position of the opening and
closing meet the requirement.
Magnetic limit switch
To ensure safety, it is recommended to install limit switches at both
ends of the gate to prevent the gate from sliding out of the rails. The
rails must be installed horizontally.
Install the limit block as shown in Fig.5 and Fig.6. The magnetic of
limit switch and blocks are used to control the position of the gate.

Manual operation
In case of power failure use key unlock the lock and pull down the release
bar about 90 degree to open or close gate manually, use the release key as
follow:
Fit the supplied key in the lock.
Turn the key and pull down the release bar about 90°to release the
gear. (Note: Do not exceed 90°, be careful not to use too much force,
otherwise the release bar will be damaged.)
Open and close the gate manually.
Note: If the gate bumps the mounting post and cannot be electric opened,
move the gate a few inches by hand, thus you can release the gate with the
key, open and close the gate manually.
