2. DESCRIPTION AND INTENDED USE
The LEADER operator range is designed to automate swing gates for residential use.
The use of this product for purposes other than those described above and installation executed in a manner other than
as instructed in this technical manual are prohibited.
All LEADER systems are irreversible, therefore no electric-lock is needed.
In case of power cut the gate operator can be easily released by manual operation.
The 24V LEADER systems can be connected to a back-up battery to grant a full operation cycle in case of power cut.

3. INSTALLATION
3.1 Preliminary checks
Before installing make sure:
• The gate conditions are suitable to automate.
•Weight, dimensions and gate construction are proper for the operator you intend to buy.
•You have suitable mechanical ground stops.
•The automated parts are in good mechanical conditions.
•The opening of the automated gate is not an entrapment hazard as regards any surrounding fixed parts and there
is sufficient space for manual release.
•Any lawn watering devices will not wet the gearmotor from the bottom up.
•The earth cable is properly connected.
•Do not install onto gates on either an upward or downward slope (i.e. that are not on flat, level ground).
3.2 Wiring
3.2.1 Standard installation
3.2.2 CABLE TYPES AND MINIMUM THICKNESSES
The quantities of tubes and cables needed (not
included in the kit) depend on the type and
number of accessories connected to the gate
area.

3.3 ESTABLISHING RH AND LH OPERATOR
A RH motor and a LH motor are supplied with the kit.
Ensure you are mounting the correct handed motor to the
leaf (see picture 3, inner view).
Make sure there are mechanical ground stops in opening
and closing (see picture B).
LEADER TI
Gate in closing position - inox pipe maximum extension:
Leader 3 = 345 mm
Leader 4 = 445 mm
Leader 5 = 545 mm
Gate in opening position - inox pipe minimum extension 50 mm
(see picture 4).
LEADER TA
Gate in closing position: minimum distance 50 mm.
Gate in opening position: maximum distance 450 mm.
(see picture 5).
3.4 FASTENING THE GEARMOTOR
3.4.1 Vertical positioning quota
a) If the gate is sturdy you can fit the gearmotor wherever
it goes, at any height from ground.
b) If the gate is particularly light fit the gearmotor as close
as possible to gate centerline.
3.4.2 Horizontal positioning quota
Gate leaf hinged in the center of the pillar (see picture 6).
Gate leaf hinged on the corner of the pillar(see picture 7).
Best of performance is obtained respecting Aand B
dimensions, see picture 8 (opening angle 90°).
•Cut off the power before starting wiring.
• Make sure you have set up a suitable dual-pole cut off
device ( 3 mm wires) along the power supply.
• Make sure you have suitable tubing and conduits for the
electrical cables: connect the motors, control panel and
accessories using separated currugated tubes, in order to
prevent interferences that may result in bad operation.
• Fit the power cable keeping a curve as shown in picture 2,
in order to avoid water blackflow inside the operator.
• All opening commands and safety devices must be free of
tension (dry contact).

3.4.3 OUTWARD OPENING
Your gate can be automated for opening outwards too.
In this case the value of Adimension shall be calculated
towards the gate center.
See picture 9 and 10 and fit the bracket accordingly.

3.5 FASTENING REAR BRACKET T1
Weld or bolt the rear bracket T1 on the post, applying the A
and B quota calculated according to the gate hinge
position and the motor rotation point.
Chemical bolts can be used and must comply with the post
features (brick, wood, steel, etc. etc.). When fixing keep a
minimum distance of 30/35 mm from the post edge in order
to avoid damages (see picture 11).
- Rear brackets T1 are provided LH and RH, to match to the
according LH and RH motor (see picture 12).
- When fixing the operator to the rear bracket T1, plug PR1
rotation pin downward oriented (see picture 13).
3.6 FASTENING FRONT BRACKET S3
3.6.1 LEADER TI
To determine the position of bracket S3:
- Put the gate in closing position.
- Release the gearmotor.
- Extend the inox pipe arm fully.
- Turn back the arm 2 cms. This avoids the motor to “leap
forward” (see picture 14)
- Affix the bracket S3 to the motor slot. Plug the rotation pin
PR1 into the locating hole.
- Fit the bracket S3 on the gate.
- Keep the motor horizontal, fix or weld.
Check the manual opening of the leaf before definitively
fixing the bracket to make sure the gate can open
fully to your required angle.

3.6.2 LEADER TA
To determine the position of bracket S4:
- Put the gate in closing position
- Release the gearmotor
- Slide the front drive pin to the closing limit-switch point
(keep a distance of 45 mm between the pin and the
pipe end terminal (see picture 15).
- Fix the bracket S4 to the drive pin. See picture 16.
- Fit the bracket S4 onto the gate and keep the motor
horizontal. Fix or weld.
Check the manual opening of the leaf before definitively
fixing the bracket to make sure the gate can open
fully to your required anglee.
4. RELEASING THE GEARMOTOR
LH OPERATOR
- Insert the key and turn 90° clockwise (picture 17).
- Pull the release handle outwards to unlock the motor.
- Turn the key 90° clockwise to keep the handle locked.
- Now you can proceed to manual operation.
- To return to automatic operation invert the procedure.
RH OPERATOR
- Insert the key and turn 90° counterclockwise (picture 17).
- Pull the release handle outwards to unlock the motor.
- Turn the key 90° counterclockwise to keep the handle
locked.
- Now you can proceed to manual operation.
- To return to automatic operation invert the procedure.
The gate can be locked in any position after the first
start command the system will return to its default
settings.
5. MAINTENANCE
Functional checks must be performed once every 6
months, including: checking the state of lubrication and
tightness of the anchoring screws on the operator as well
as the good operation of all safety devices.
6. DISMANTLING AND DISPOSAL
DO NOT DISPOSE OF IN NATURE!
Some components may contain hazardous waste.
They must, thus, be removed and turned into licensed firms
for their disposal.
Before acting always check the local laws on the matter.
