Mounting the Gate Motor / Gear Rack:
The gate motor should be mounted to the side of the driveway to provide clear passage of travel for
vehicles. The gate motor should be securely bolted down to a solid concrete pad or steel base frame. The
gate motor should be parallel to the gate and there should be no contact between the gate motor and the
gate frame. Ensure there is adequate space for removal of the motor cover and clear access to the
internal components of the gate motor and clear access to the external manual release mechanism.
Mount the gear rack onto the gate at the required height to ensure correct engagement to the drive gear.
We suggest a gap of 2-3mm between rack and drive gear. Temporarily placing a 2-3 mm spacer under
the motor feet can help set the required height. Remove the spacer when finished.
To ensure smooth running of the gate, there should not be any space between the ends of each gear rack
section. Adjust the rack to the required height by running the gate back and forwards with the motor in
‘manual mode’. The gear rack can then be adjusted up or down as required to ensure the correct and
consistent gap. Ensure the rack does not hit, rub or contact any part of the motor cover or motor body.

INSTALLATION AND SET UP
INSTRUCTIONS
Mounting the Gate Motor / Limit Switch Brackets:
The limit switch brackets are mounted at either end of the gear rack to set the open and close positions of
the gate.
Put the gate motor into ‘manual mode’. Manually slide the gate into the fully closed position and then
open the gate 15 —25mm. Attach one limit switch bracket onto the rack so the end of the bracket just
touches the limit switch spring. Manually slide the gate at the fully open position and then close the gate
15 —25mm. Attach one limit switch bracket onto the rack so the end of the bracket just touches the limit
switch spring. In these positions, when the gate motor is operating, the limit switch brackets should push
against the limit switch spring to click the limit switch off (an audible sound can be heard when the
switching occurs).
Put the gate motor into ‘automatic mode’ and activate the gate motor to open and close the gate several
times to ensure the limit switch brackets are correctly positioned. Adjust the bracket position as required.
The gate should stop in the open and closed positions before making contact any end stops Ensure the
brackets and bracket screws do not hit, rub or contact any part of the motor cover or motor body.

SL DC2 Circuit Board Adjustments
SL DC2 CONTROL BOARD
Motor Torque / Obstruction Sensing / Auto Reverse Adjustment
Refer to the “SL DC2 Circuit Board” data sheet included with this manual and locate the
‘FORCE’ trim pot on the circuit board.
This adjustment controls the motor torque and obstruction sensing of the gate motor. The motor
needs to have enough torque (force) to fully open and close the gate. However, the more torque
the motor has, the less obstruction sensitivity there is and therefore the gate may hit an obstruc-
tion more forcefully.
Usually the motor FORCE trim pot is set to the half way position however turn the FORCE trim
pot anti-clockwise (-) to increase sensitivity to an obstruction or turn the FORCE trim pot clock-
wise (+) to increase the motor torque (force) of the motor.

Maintenance
1. A regular cleaning to remove dust & dirt. A small soft brush will suffice.
2. .Approximately every 6 months remove the motor cover, clean with a soft brush and spray
inside the motor cover. Spray with a surface spray suitable for crawling insects, slugs and
snails. DO NOT SPRAY ANY ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS.
3. Check Battery terminals for corrosion. If present, bushing with a wire brush or dipping the
actual terminals – ‘hot water’ will remove it. A light spray with WD40 will help keep them
clean.
4. Using a small screwdriver, tighten all terminal block screws and ensure any cables are not
frayed at the ends.
5. Ensure Receiver is firmly mounted.
6. Tighten all mounting and attachment bolts.
7. Check screws on Push Button covers are intact and tight.
8. If Photocells (Sensors) are fitted, remove covers and gently brush any cobwebs, etc. away.
Check operation and replace.
Finally, there is usually no substitute for good housekeeping. Ensuring the Motors and the
area around the Motors and Gates are free of rubbish, leaves, infestation of insects and
trimming of plants will help to give a long and trouble free life.
Should you be unsure of any points above, PLEASE contact us.
