Initial Check
Before commencing installation, check the following:
a. The gate moves freely by hand for the full length of open and close
travel.
b. The pier or post for mounting must be of solid construction (Brick, solid
timber or steel). It must bear most of the force applied by the drive unit.
c. A weatherproof 240V 10A general purpose power point should be
available within one metre of the pier/post. If two Elite®gate openers
are required, provision for underground cabling should be made from
one post to the other.
d. Ensure sideroom clearance is adequate. If there is not enough sideroom
available, the Minimum Sideroom Kit is required.

a. The mount distance of the Drive Unit should be recorded. This value will
be used later.
b. The mount distance for the drive unit and the hinge distance for the
gate can be selected to optimise the sideroom clearance.
NOTE: If the gateway slopes away from pier/post, make sure an allowance
is made for clearance of the drive arm extension and slave arm to not touch
the ground.
c. Mount drive unit using four (4) 10mm loxins or dynabolts and the
mounting template within this document.
d. Make sure that the Drive Unit is mounted at an appropriate height from
the ground - allow minimum 35mm clearance for drive arm extension.
NOTE: If the gate is already installed, measure the hinge distance and use
this table to optimise the mount distance.
Mounting the Drive Unit

Affixing Arms And Brackets To Gate
a. Position gate in close position.
b. Attach drive arm extension 2 to drive arm (fixed to the drive unit 1 ),
using two (2) Hex Head screws 7 , spring 8 and flat washers 9 .
c. Attach slave arm 3 to drive arm extension 2 using two (2) plastic
washers 5 and a shoulder screw 6 .
d. Assemble Gate Mounting Bracket 4 and Slave Arm 3 using
the remaining shoulder screw 6 and two (2) plastic washers 5 .
Do not tighten yet.
e. Extend arms out straight and mark position where the Gate Mounting
Bracket touches the gate. From this mark, measure 10mm toward Drive
Unit and mark again. This is where the Gate Mounting Bracket will be
mounted.
f. Remove the Gate Mounting Bracket 4 from the Slave Arm 3 and
secure the Gate Mounting Bracket to the gate at second mark using
appropriate screws (not supplied).
g. Reassemble Slave Arm to Gate Mounting Bracket using the shoulder
screw 6 and plastic washers 5 . Secure firmly.

If you have limited sideroom, an optional minimum
sideroom kit reduces the gate opener’s required
sideroom to the width of the drive unit (135mm).
(ATA Order code 90182).
a. Drill Ø12.5 hole in the Elite®Drive Arm Extension
(use hole in the minimum sideroom kit extension arm
1 as a guide).
b. Secure the extension arm 1 onto the Elite®drive
arm extension with two (2) Hex M12 x 30 screws 2
and two (2) spring washers 3 . Fit a Hex M12 Nut
2 to the end of the screw in the new hole that has
been drilled.
c. Check that the screws are tight.
d. Check that the Drive Unit is disengaged and the gate
is closed. Slide the Guide Track 8 over the idler 6
if you have previously removed. Locate Track on the
gate and check travel of the Arm. The idler should
always be inside the Guide Track in the closed and
open positions.
e. Secure the track to the gate (weld if possible).
NOTE: If a shorter arm is required, drill the drive arm
extension and extension arm where appropriate. You
should not have to cut the arms and you should still
be able to use the pre-threaded hole in the drive arm
extension.

objects including motor vehicles within the gateway.
• Remove or disengage all gate locks and mechanisms prior to installation of the opener.
• Make sure the gate is fully open before driving into or out of the driveway.
• When using auto close mode, a Photo Electric beam must be fitted correctly and tested
for operation at regular intervals. Extreme caution is recommended when using auto
close mode. All safety rules must be followed.
ELECTROCUTION! •Do not immerse in or spray the Elite®or the Control box with water .
•Disconnect the power cord from mains power before making any repairs or removing
covers. Only experienced service personnel should remove covers from the gate opener.
•If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by an Automatic Technology
service agent or suitably qualified person.
•Connect the gate opener to a properly earthed general purpose 240V mains power outlet
installed by a qualified electrical contractor.
CAUTION:
Entrapment from
operating gate
•DO NOT operate the gate opener unless the gate is in full view and free from objects such
as cars and children/people. Make sure that the gate has finished moving before entering
or leaving the driveway.
• Do not allow children to play with gate controls or transmitters.
•In order for the Elite®to sense an object obstructing the gateway, some force must be
exerted on the object. As a result the object, gate and/or person may suffer damage or
injury.
• Regularly check to make sure that the Safety Obstruction Force is working correctly, and
is tested and set as per Section 12 of this manual. Failure to follow these instructions
could result in serious personal injury and/or property damage. This test must be
repeated at regular intervals and the necessary adjustments made as required.
•If using a key switch, keypad or any device that can operate the gate opener, make sure it is
in a location where the gateway is visible, but out of the reach of children at a height of at
least 1.5m.
• For ADDITIONAL SAFETY protection we STRONGLY recommend the fitting of a Photo
Electric (Safety) Beam. In most countries Safety Beams are mandatory on all gates fitted
with automatic openers.
Installation •Ensure the gate(s) is in good working order . Faulty gates must be repaired by a qualified
technician prior to Elite®installation.
•Frequently examine the installation and mountings for signs of wear, damage or imbalance.
DO NOT use if repair or adjustment is needed since a fault in the installation or an incorrectly
balanced gate may cause injury.
Security •Make sure that the gate is fully closed before leaving the driveway.
Entanglement in or laceration
from moving gate
•Keep hands and loose clothing clear of gate at all times
•Keep clear of gate during operation as severe lacerations can occur on sharp edges of gate.
The safety alert symbols below indicate a personal safety or property damage instruction exists.
READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY.
This Elite®Swing Gate Opener is designed and tested to offer safe service provided it is installed and operated in strict
accordance with the following safety rules. Failure to comply with the following instructions may result in death, serious
personal injury or property damage.
