Product Description and Applications
Applications
This model is for residential or light commercial automation of a single or dual leaf gate. Power is
110vac. In case of power failure, the operators can be released by special keys to move the gate
manually. (battery backup not included and must be purchased separately)
Description of the Automation
The following diagram of typical installation describes some terms and accessories of a gate
automation system.
Motors, Components Illustration
The installation procedure may differ due to various accessories and quantities installed. The basic
wiring diagram is shown in below photo. Gate operators, photo eye, control box, keypad, warning
light. Access controls are not included and must be purchased separately.

Power connection
The installation of 110vac power supply cable to the Control Box should be done by a qualified
professional electrician. All high voltage wiring must be in conduit.
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

FIGURE 17
“C” value is 139mm (5-1/2”)
“D” can be measured from the gate easily
“A” = “C” + “D”
The value of “B” can be calculated from the value of “A” and the leaves opening angle. Example:
If “A” =160mm (6-1/4”) with the leaves opening angle of 100 degrees, then the value of “B” is
approximate 190mm (7-1/2”)
NOTE: Please make sure “B” and “A” are similar or the same in value that the leaves can be
operated smoothly to reduce the burden of the motor.
NOTE: A 120-degree opening may be obtained but 110 degrees is the recommended limit.
Installation of the Gear Motors
1. Mount Post Bracket
Choose the desired dimensions of the motors and position to be installed.
Be sure mounting surface the brackets will be installed on is smooth, vertical and rigid.
Arrange the cable conduit for power supply cable of the motors.
Loosen the two screws and remove the back cover of the motor as shown in photo
Place the gate leaves in the closed position.
Figure 18 Figure 19 Figure 20
Refer to the “B” dimension in figure 17, place the post bracket plate in the correct position on the
mounting surface.
Place the post bracket on the surface to be installed and mark the drilling points then drill 3/8
holes x four through the hinge post and fasten the brackets with nuts and washers. The drawing
below shows tech screws but it is highly recommended to drill all the way through the hinge post
and to use bolts long enough to bolt on the back side.
Make sure the bracket is level. There are two pieces to the bracket. You have already fastened the
post bracket to the post, now bolt the top part of the bracket to the one that has been mounted.

Finger tighten the bolts only for now - the bracket will find its own spot as you swing the gate
open from the closed position.
Figure 21 Figure 22
Refer to Figure 23, the distance between gate attach bracket mounting hole of the motor and post
bracket mounting hole is 796mm (31”) the gate attach
Figure 23
Now the post bracket is securely fastened to the hinge post. Next, with the gate in the closed
position clamp and fix the motor front bracket on the gate temporarily.
Figure 24

Fasten the gate attach bracket nut tightly and then loosen it 1/2 turn so actuator can pivot.
Open the gear motor cover and then take out the mounting pin as below Figure 25.
Mount the actuator to the hinge post bracket using supplied pin and insert the mounting bolt into
the gate attach bracket.
This is the position of the gate in the closed position and cannot be changed once finally drilled
and bolted. Be sure the actuator is level and the gate is in the desired permanent closed position.
Gear Motor Release
Turn the round plate on the release part to “OPEN” position, See Figure 29
Push out the release part to the end. See Figure 30
Use the release key to turn the pin ani-clockwise to the end. See Figure 31
Figure 29 Figure 30 Figure 31
With the gear motor unlocked, slowly swing the gate open until the extension tube is fully
extended. The top part of the post bracket will self-adjust to the correct position and can then be
tightened securely. (remember, you had left it finger tight)
Test the bracket positions a few times and when satisfied they are in the proper position, drill and
bolt the gate attach bracket permanently. There are no limits to set so at this point the actuator is
ready to be powered up and used.
Figure 25 Figure 25.1 Figure 25.2

Connect the motor power cable as shown in Figure 27
The actuator is not pre-wired. Use 2 conductor 14-gauge stranded wire and feed it up through the
strain relief nut.
Next, securely fasten to terminal blocks red to positive (white) and black to negative (yellow)
(you may use white and yellow stranded wire if available)
Close the gear motor cover by tightening the two screws as shown in Figure 28
Figure 27 Figure 28
Mount the Control Box
Locate a position in the most convenient spot close to the primary actuator and mount the control
box using such fasteners as you see fit. Also mount a watertight junction box underneath the
control box for 110vac.
Single gate installation -
Run the two pair wire from the actuator to Control Box
Bi-parting gate installation -
Connect a two pair wire as before to the secondary actuator and run the wire to the control box. It
is recommended to use 3/4” conduit under the driveway, fashioned neatly to the control box or to
a watertight junction box (and from there to the control box)
You will have to punch out the existing knockouts at the bottom of the control box for the
secondary wires and any additional access controls wire. It is recommended to seal the holes with
silicone caulk.
