Restricted side room installation
Where there is restricted side room (between 515mm &
350mm) the secondary arm must be cut to suit.
Move the primary arm into a position suitable for the gate in
the closed position. Measure as in Fig C while temporarily
clamping the bracket to the gate.

Primary arm
Move the gate to the open position as in Fig D, and re-
measure. The correct bracket position and secondary arm
length will be when the distance is equal for the open and
closed.
Caution
Ensure that the secondary arm dose not interfere with
the primary arm.
Minimum angle between the primary & secondary arms,
in the open position should be no less than 40degrees.

Connect the wires to the control board
Note
Step 3
Connect the wires to the motors
Motor 1 is the left hand motor when facing out of the driveway.
If motor 1 is on the right hand side, reverse the polarity of the
motor wires.
If a single motor is fitted use the Motor 1 terminals. If a single
opener is fitted on the right hand side, reverse the polarity of
the motor wires.
If a motor pushes a gate outwards, reverse the polarity of the
motor wires.

Step 4
Set the travel limits
Do not fully fit the primary arm to the drive before setting the
limits. Leave the bolt loose so that the drive dose not engage
with the arm. This will prevent possible injury or damage
before the limits are correctly set.

Close the gates. Operate the motors until there out put shafts
are in the correct position to engage with their primary arms of
the closed gates. Loosen the limit cam cap-screw.
Step 5
Control board set up.
Note
When powering any accessories from the board, (for
example: gate latches, additional receivers, keypads, and PE
beams) ensure the power supply has adequate capacity.
Measure the voltage at the DC IN under full motor load. If it
falls below 9V then the board, receiver, and some
accessories, may not function correctly. In this instance,
remove accessories, upgrade the power supply, or provide
additional power supplies directly to each accessory

Step 6
Speed selection option
There is a speed selection option on the top of motor.
It is best for long or heavy gates to use the slow speed.
The fast speed option on large gates may cause damage to
the unit due to the forces incurred during operating.

Service
Manual release.
To operate the gates manually, turn the key a quarter turn anti-
clockwise to the horizontal position. Push in the metal tongue
and manually operate the gates.
Tongue
Maintenance.
In an area where ant or insect infestation is likely, regularly
spray around the opener and any electrical installation with
insecticide.
In normal conditions it is not expected that any additional
lubrication or service is required.
Keep the path of the gate free from debris and foliage.
