It is highly recommended to ground the system. Please make sure to shut off the power before
installation or maintenance.
Installation
Check the following items before doing the installation:
Make sure the weight and dimension of the gate conform to the operation range of the gate motor.
Don’t use the gate motor if the gate specifications do not meet the requirements.
Make sure the gate structure conforms to the criteria of automatic operation and force regulations.
Make sure there is no serious friction existing in the opening or closing travel of the gate leaves.
Make sure the gate is at horizontal level that the gate will not move aside at any position.
Make sure the gate can bear the impact of the motor torque when it is installed on any hole of the
bracket which the surface is sufficiently sturdy.
Make sure the photo eye sensors are installed on flat surfaces to ensure the two ends of receiving
and transmitting corresponded to each other.
Check the dimensions of the motors as below: (25 mm = 1 inch)
Make sure to leave enough space when the gate is opening.

If the gate is OPENED OUTWARD, please leave at least 70 mm (3 inches) between the post
brackets and the gate.
Using the leaf-opening angle as criteria to make sure all criteria in Figure 17 can be met
