The myAster motor is designed to automate swing gates. The use
of this product for purposes other than those described above
and installation executed in a manner other than instructed in this
technical manual are prohibited.
All myAster systems are irreversible, therefore an electric lock is
not essential – but an electric lock is recommended for additional
security, or for use in areas exposed to high-winds. The electric
lock must be installed on the gate leaf that opens first and must
be connected with the terminals of the control unit.
If fitting an electric lock, remove all manual locks and bolts.
In the event of a power cut the gate motor can be released by
manual operation.
Use of the product must be restricted to its intended use. Any
other use is to be considered dangerous and therefore forbidden.
Do not allow children to play with the fixed command devices, or
in the gate’s area of operation. Keep any remote control devices
(i.e. transmitters) away from children.
Keep the gate and the gate opener regularly maintained. Use only
myGate or GateMotors supplied spare parts.
Users are strictly forbidden to carry out any changes on the gate
motor.
GateMotors is not liable for any damage resulting from improper,
wrongful or unreasonable use.
The use of this equipment must observe the safety standards in
force in the country where it is installed, as well as the standards
governing proper installation.

Installing the motor
Motor positioning
Make sure there are mechanical stops (B) for opening and closing.
The motor has to be fitted keeping a height above ground of between 400 mm and 500 mm. If the gate
is particularly light, fit the motor as close as possible to the gate centerline. The motor should not be fitted
lower than 150 mm from ground level. And no more than 600 mm higher than ground level.

Fix the pivot bracket T1 onto the pillar by welding or bolting (O
/13 mm bolts), making sure the measurements shown
in the previous table are met. Ensure to keep a minimum distance of 30 mm from the pillar edge as shown (pic H).
In cases of masonry pillars, use chemical or resin to secure the bolts into position. Brackets T1 are supplied in two
versions, left hand and right hand and match the according motor (see picture I). Fix the motor to bracket T1 and place
the pivot pin PR1 through the holes. Keep the pivot pin PR1 oriented downward (pic J).
Fixing pillar bracket T1
Gates xed on the edge/corner of a pillar
In this case the gate can be opened up to 120°. To achieve this, measurement Amust
be equal to or greater than measurement B(pic F).
Based on the figures shown on the previous page (Table A) – Ideally measurement B
(Pic F) will be decreased by the same amount as the Ameasurement is increased.
For example: If installing the myAster 3Ti – measurement A increasing 20 mm (now
170 mm) means measurement B ideally decreases 20 mm (now 130 mm).

Outward opening
• In the case of an outward opening gate, the gate
motor must be positioned on the inside face of
the gate pillar (pic G).
• In this case the measurement A(distance between
the axis of the hinges and the rotation axis of the
motor) has to be measured towards the centre of
the gate, and it is necessary to modify the bracket
T1 to adapt it to the new fixing position (pic G).
• In order to not reduce the size of the passage, the
motor can be positioned in the upper part of the
gate, at a height no less than 2000 mm.
• You can find the position of the front bracket with
the method indicated above, but with the leaf of
the gate open.
• The preferred measurements are the same as
those shown on the previous page (Table A).
• All fastenings must be strong and secure.

• Insert the hexagonal release key (included in the fixing pack) and turn clockwise (pic O).
• The right hand motor will require an anti-clockwise turn (pic P)
• You will now be able to manually open and close your gate.
• If you wish to lock back your system, insert and turn the key in the oppostite direction.
• The gates can be at in any position – since after the first start command the system will return to its default settings.
Manual release
NB: Check the manual opening of the gate leaf before definitively fixing the
bracket S3 to make sure the gate can open fully to your required angle.
To determine the position of bracket S3:
• Put the gate in the closed position.
• Manually release the motor (see below).
• Extend the ram to maximum opening.
• Push back the ram 20 mm. This stops the motor from ‘leaping forward’ (pic K).
• Affix the bracket S3 to the motor ram slot as illustrated (pic L). Place the pivot pin PR1 into the locating hole (pic L).
• Secure the bracket S3 to the gate leaf. Ensure the ram is perfectly straight. Use a spirit level for accuracy.

• Cut off the power before starting the wiring.
• See the control panel instruction manual (separate documentation) and
refer to the Control Board section for guidance.
• A circuit breaker should be fitted close to the gate (3 mm wires) to
protect both the gate control panel and the property’s main fuse box.
A 6Aautomatic breaker or a 16 A single phase breaker complete with
fuses shall be suitable.
• Make sure you have suitable tubing and conduits for the electrical
cables: feed the motors, control panel and accessories separately, in
order to prevent interferences that may result in bad operation.
• Fit the power cable keeping a curve as shown (pic Q) in order to avoid
water backflow inside the motor.
• The power supply lines – to the motors, to the control unit and to the
accessories, must be separated to avoid interferences which could
generate problems to the system.
• Any equipment (either of control or safety) connected to the control
unit must be tension free.
