Quick Installation Guide
This section contains an overview of the installation process. For more detailed instructions and
diagrams, please refer to the relevant section.
1. Check that swing gate is level and swings smoothly; all bearings should be greased and in
good condition. Check that the posts are set into the ground securely.
2. For Gate Arm 1, assemble the Post Bracket Assembly and Gate Bracket Assembly, and
temporarily connect them to the gate actuator with the clevis pins. Note: Leave the Post Pivot
Bracket to rotate freely for the moment.
3. Put the gate arm into manual mode by removing the release plug inserting the key and
turning 90o.
4. Move the gate to the fully open position, retract the gate arm fully, then temporarily secure the
brackets to the gate and the post with two C clamps. Note that the mounting position should
be as per Figure 5. Verify that the gate arm is level.
5. Check that there is at least 2.5cm between the gate and the gate arm as per Figure 10. If
clearance is too low, rotate the Post Pivot Bracket and/or move the Post Bracket Assembly.
6. Manually close the gate and verify that it can get to the closed position without reaching the
end of the actuator stroke. If the gate can close past the closed position this is okay, it can be
adjusted back with the limit switches.
7. While the clamps are still securely in place, carefully close and reopen the gate to check that
the gate arm will not bind.
8. Once the position is correct, lock the Post Pivot Bracket with the M8x30mm bolt and nut.
9. Mark the bolt-hole positions on the gate post and the gate itself. Note: Mark the hole in the
centre of each slot, this will allow some slight adjustments.
10. Remove the C clamps, then drill 10.5mm diameter holes in the marked locations.
11. Bolt the Post Bracket Assembly and the Gate Bracket Assembly in place using the bolts,
washers and nuts provided.
12. Reattach the gate arm with the clevis pins, and check that the gate can open and close
smoothly by hand.
13. Once the gate is operating correctly, put the gate arm back into automatic mode by turning
the key and replacing the release plug.
14. For GTR058 Dual Gate Opener, repeat steps 2-12 for Gate Arm 2.
15. Disconnect the power cord for the next section to protect the circuit during installation.
16. Mount the control box to a secure surface at least 100cm above the ground. The gate arm
lead is 3m long, so ensure that it can reach the control box. (Note: For GTR058 the second
gate arm lead is 6m long.)
17. Connect the Gate Arm connector(s) to the outside of the control box.
18. Plug in the power cord to an appropriate weatherproof outlet.
19. Program the Gate Opener using the digital display (refer to page 17 for details).
20. Pair the remote control by pressing the ‘LEARN’ button until the LED turns on, then press the
first button on the remote control twice within 4 seconds. The LED will flash 3 times when
pairing is successful.
21. Operate the gate arm to verify that the motor is correctly installed and stops at the right place.
22. Close the control box, ensuring that all wires are in place.
23. Check operation regularly and ensure maintenance is done as required.

Gate Arm Installation
Before you start
The GTR058/GTR100 Swing Gate Automation Kits are suitable for gates up to 400kg per leaf or 5m
long. Refer to Tables 1 and 2 to verify that your gate will be suitable. The motor arm uses a worm
gear actuator. This kit must be installed on the inside of the property.
The control box comes with a 1.5m long high voltage power cord already wired into the PCB. This
should be plugged into an appropriate weatherproof outlet, which must be installed by a qualified
electrician. Do not extend the power cable. Make sure the power cord is protected from flooding,
tripping and any other damage. If in any doubt, we recommend shielding with a flexible conduit.
Tools Needed:
·Power Drill
·Tape Measure
·Open End Wrenches —14# &17# or Adjustable Wrenches
·C-Clamps —small, medium, and large
·Level
·Hacksaw or Heavy Duty Bolt Cutters
·Phillips Screwdriver
·An extra person will be helpful

Preparation
Check that the swing gate is correctly installed and level, and that the bearings are greased and in
good condition. Any misalignment in the setup of the gate may cause problems with the motor or
difficulties opening the gate.
This gate arm is to suit Pull-to-Open installation, in which gate opens out from the property. The
gate arm can also be used for Push-to-Open installation, see Page 21 of this manual for more
details.

11 Rev 16a
Ensure that the gate does not open into public areas.
The gate opener connects to the gate and to the gate post. The Post Brackets provided are curved,
so both round and square posts can be used. When mounting the Post Brackets, use bolts long
enough to pass through the entire post. M10 x 200m bolts are included. Concrete anchors are not
provided.
When mounting the Post Brackets to wooden posts, a larger-size washer or metal plate should be
used between the bolts and the wooden post to ensure the stability of the fastening hardware. If the
post is smaller than 6" diameter or square, it should be made of metal and set in cement.
Figure 3
For Dual gates using GTR058, you may need to use conduit or other methods to run the 6m long
motor cable underneath the driveway. Ensure that the conduit is big enough that the connector can
fit through. For longer gates, extension cables areavailable from Richmond Wheel & Castor Co, part
codes GTR158 and GTR159 refer to 3m and 6m cables respectively.
Gate Arm Mounting
The position of Post Bracket is very important. The following illustrations and tables are required to
determine the proper mounting position for the Post Bracket, with the gate in the closed position. The
table in Figure 5 shows the maximum opening angle of the gate for a given A and B. For example, if
A is 15cm and B is 20cm, the maximum opening angle of the gate is 110°.
NOTE: Pay attention to distance A when installing the opener. It MUST be longer than or at least
equal to 8cm (3-1/4”), otherwise, the actuator may not be able to open the gate.
Note: If you are installing GTR058 on a Dual gate, steps 1-13 will apply to Motor Arm 1 (with 3m
cable), which should be mounted on the control box side of the property. You will need to repeat
these steps for Motor Arm 2 (with 6m cable).

1. Insert the M10 x 30 bolt through the center hole of the post bracket and post pivot bracket as
shown in Figure 6. Placea ￠10 washer, ￠10 spring washer and M10 nut on the bottom of
the bolt and hand tighten so that the pivot plate can swivel.
Figure 6
2. Attach the Gate Bracket Assembly and Post Bracket Assembly to the opener by inserting a
clevis pin. Temporarily secure the clevis pins using the hairpin clips as shown in Figure 7.
Figure 7
3. Remove the release plug on the top of the gate arm, insert the release key, and turn the key
90° clockwise. This puts the gate arm into manual mode, allowing the gate arm to be
manually extended and retracted. Torestore normal operation, turn the key 90°
anti-clockwise.

14 Rev 16a
4. With the gate arm fully retracted and the gate in the fully open position, place the gate arm
with the Post Bracket Assembly on the gate post and Gate Bracket on the gate. Position the
Post Bracket Assembly and Gate Bracket so that the gate arm is level. While holding the gate
arm level, temporarily secure it with two C-clamps.
Figure 9
5. Make sure that there is a minimum clearance of 2.5cm between the gate and the opener and
that the opener and the Post Pivot Bracket are not binding in both the gate-open and
gate-closed positions. If there is not at least 2.5cm of clearance or if the opener and the Post
Pivot Bracket are binding, rotate the Post Pivot Bracket and/or move the Post Bracket
Assembly to obtain the minimum clearance and eliminate the binding. When the minimum
clearance has been obtained and any binding has been eliminated, place the M8 x 30 bolt
through the aligned holes in the Post Bracket and the Post Pivot Bracket and hand tighten.

6. Manually close the gate and verify that it can reach or travel past the required closed position.
If it does not reach the closed position, you will need to rotate the post pivotbracket, or adjust
the position of the post pivot bracket assembly on the post. If the gate is past the fully closed
position at full extension, this can be adjusted with the limit switches, refer to Page 22 or 23.
7. Mark the bolt-hole points on the gate post and the gate. We recommend marking the middle
of each bolt slot on the Post Brackets and the Gate Bracket, this will allow slight adjustments
in positioning. Once the holes are marked, remove the post bracket and gate bracket by
taking off theC-clamps.
Figure 11
8. Drill 10.5 mm diameter holes through the post and the gate at the marked locations.
9. Attach the post bracket assemblies to the gate posts by inserting M10 x 200 bolts through

16 Rev 16a
each post bracket assembly and the drilled holes in the gate post. Fasten each bolt with one
￠10 washer, one ￠10 lock washer, and one ￠10 nut.
10. Attach the gate brackets to each gate by inserting two M10 x 75 bolts through the gate
brackets and the drilled holes in the gates. Fasten each bolt with one ￠10 lock washer, and
one ￠10nut.
11. Cut off any part of the bolts that extend beyond the tightenednuts.
12.With the gate opener fully retracted and with the gate in the fully open position, reattach the
gate opener to the Post Bracket Assembly and the Gate Bracket by inserting a clevis pin
through the gate opener and the Post Pivot Bracket and another clevis pin through the gate
opener and the Gate Bracket. Secure each clevis pin with a hairpin clip.
Figure 12
13. Check again that the gate swings smoothly by hand, and that the gate arm is level.
14. Open the release plug on the top of the gate arm, insert the release key, and turn the key 90°
anti-clockwise. This puts the opener back into automatic mode.

Mounting the Control Box
The control box comes with an Australian Standard power cord wired in. Do not extend the power
cord more than 3m. All wiring at high voltage (240VAC/50Hz) must be done by a qualified electrician.
Remove the cover of the control box, and use 4 screws or bolts (not provided) to mount to a secure
surface. Ensure that the control box is in a well ventilated area protected against rain and sunshine.
The plugs must be facing downwards, and at least 100cm above the ground.
Connecting the Gate Arm
If installing GTR058 (Dual Swing Arm Kit), ensure that the control box is installed on the side of Gate
Arm 1. Connect the Motor Plug on the Gate Arm to the socket on the control box labelled Motor 1,
and tighten the sealing nut. (For Dual Arm model GTR058 only) Connect the Motor Plug on the
second Gate opener to the socket labelled Motor 2, and tighten the sealing nut. Note: It is
recommended that Gate Opener 1 is installed in the Master Gate, and Gate Opener 2 is installed in
the Slave Gate.

Programming
The following steps detail how to program the features of the gate opener. While the PCB is powered
on, the digital display will flash the standby code ‘- -‘ To enter programming mode, press and hold the
‘FUNC’ button for 4 seconds, and the digital display will flash ‘P1‘. Press the ‘FUNC’ button again to
cycle through the settings. To change the setting, use the ‘INC’ and ‘DEC’ buttons to
increase/decrease the value. Once programming has been completed, press the ‘FUNC’ button until
the standby code ‘- -‘.
P1: Single/Dual Gate Setting.
For GTR100 Single Gate Opener, recommended setting is ‘01’. For GTR058 Dual Gate Opener, set
to ‘11’.
01 –Single Gate Arm Mode (Motor 1)
10 –Single Gate Arm Mode (Motor 2)
11 –Dual Gate Arm Mode
Default setting is ‘11’.
P2: Master/Slave Setting.
The Master Gate is the primary side that will open and close first. Refer to Figure 2 for illustration.
Where possible, Motor 1 is recommended to be Master.
For GTR100 Single Gate Opener, leave this setting at ‘01’.
01 –Motor 1 is the Master, Motor 2 is the Slave
10 –Motor 2 is the Master, Motor 1 is the Slave
Default setting is ‘01’.
P3: Master/Slave Opening Interval.
Adjusting this value will change the time interval between the Master Gate opening and the Slave
Gate opening. This value can be set between 0-9 seconds. Setting the value to ‘0’ means both gates
will open simultaneously, while setting the value to ‘9’ means that the Slave Gate starts to open 9
seconds after the Master Gate.
For GTR100 Single Gate Opener, leave this setting at ‘3’.
Default setting is ‘3’.
P4: Master/Slave Closing Interval.
Adjusting this value will change the time interval between the Master Gate closing and the Slave
Gate closing. This value can be set between 0-9 seconds. Setting the value to ‘0’ means both gates
will close simultaneously, while setting the value to ‘9’ means that the Slave Gate starts to close 9
seconds after the Master Gate.
For GTR100 Single Gate Opener, leave this setting at ‘3’.
Default setting is ‘3’.
P5: Stall Force of Gate Arm 1.
The Stall Force is the amount of force required to stop the gate motor during operation. If an impact
is detected during the opening cycle, the gate will stop. If an impact is detected during the closing
