Installation
Before You Start
·GT1000DCL Sliding Gate Automation Kit is suitable for powering the opening and
closing motion of gates up to 800kg in weight, up to a length of 12m. (Standard kit
contains a 6m chain, if the gate length is over 5.5m, please consider to extend the length of the
chain.)
·Gate motion is achieved by the rotating output sprocket of the gate opener driving the chain
fitted to the moving gate.
·The gate opener requires you to press the remote control once to open, and once again to
close. This is a safety feature to ensure safe operation.
·The gate opener itself must be fitted within private property, never externally to a property’s
boundary.
Any works done to the gate opener must be completed whilst the power is off and the opener is
unplugged. Any modifications/alterations/works to AC power components must only be completed by
a licensed electrician.

Step 6 - Sprocket and Chain & Motor Alignment
·Ensure output sprocket and chain are correctly aligned. Under no circumstances should the
gate opener output sprocket carry any weight of the gate. It is the task of the gate castors or
wheels to carry the weight of the gate.
·If the gate doesn’t slide freely by hand, adjust the height of the chain accordingly until the full
length of gate slides freely by hand.
·Ensure the chain is in proper tightness after installation. (refer to Figure 14)

Step 7 - Limit Switch Stops
Included in your gate opener kit are two limit
switch stops which must be fitted on your gate
to ensure safe operation.
The limit switch stops are designed to set the
desired opening and closing position of your
gate. When the limit switch stops come into
contact with the magnetic limit switch, the gate will stop moving.
It is extremely dangerous that without or incorrect installation of the limit switch stops can cause
crash of gate, damage of internal structure of the motor, moreover, the gate may slide off the guide
rail.
Setting the Limit Switch Stops
Closed Position
·Position gate 150-200mm back from the gate end catch closed position. This will help in
making sure you do not slam the gate into the end stop/catch when setting the closed position
under power.
·Fit limit switch stop onto the top of chain at the point where it meets the magnetic limit switch on
the motor.
·Tighten locking screws of limit switch stop.

Testing the Closed Position
·Ensure gate opener is installed as per step 5, 6 and 7 and the sliding gate is in the middle
position.
·Press remote (remotes included in kit are factory paired to the motor). The sliding gate will
begin to close.
·The limit switch stop will hit the limit switch and the sliding gate will stop.
·When the gate stops, measure the distance remaining between the sliding gate and the desired
closed position.
·You have now determined the closed position of the sliding gate when the limit switch stop hits
the limit switch.
·Adjust the limit switch stop from the measurement you have taken to get your final gate closed
position. The ideal closed final position for the gate frame is 10-15mm from closed gate end
catch.
Testing the Open Position
·Press remote, the sliding gate will begin to open.
·The limit switch stop will hit the limit switch and the sliding gate will stop.
·When the gate stops, measure the distance remaining between the sliding gate and the desired
open position.
·You have now determined the open position of the sliding gate when the limit switch stop hits
the limit switch
·Adjust the limit switch stops from the measurement you have taken to get your final gate open
position. The ideal open final position for the gate frame is 10-15mm from the gate stop.
To Reset:
When setting new limit stop positions please ensure that you turn the power off and then on
again. Turning the power off will reset the limit stop memory, allowing for new limit switch
stop positions to be recognized by the motor.
Now the basic open and closed positions are set, for further setting functions and adjusting
