Motor Installation:
Before you start
•The GTR064 Sliding Gate Automatic kit is suitable for powering the opening and
closing motion of gates up to 1000kg in weight, and up to a length of 8m.
•Gate motion is achieved by the rotating cog of the gate motor driving the gear rack fitted to
the moving gate (sold separately).
•The gate motor 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 motor itself must be fitted within private property, never externally to a
property’s boundary.
•This premium motor has a range of optional accessories which can be added, such as solar
power, battery backup, infrared photocells, exit wands, and warning light.
Power Supply: The GTR064 requires 1 x 10Amp AC240V 50Hz power supply (RCD Protected
Weatherproof PowerPoint). The GTR064 comes complete with a power lead and plug that is 1m long. If
you do not have a suitable RCD protected weatherproof power point within 1m of the gate motor you will
need to consult a licenced electrician .
Any works done to the motor must be completed whilst the power is off and the motor is
unplugged.
Any modifications/alterations/works to the 240V AC power components must only be
completed by a licensed electrician for your state/country.
Please Note:
Your weatherproof power outlet should be no more than 1m from the electric gate motor.
If your weatherproof power outlet is more than 1m from the gate motor, you will require a
licensed electrician to fit a new power cable.
Any excess cable length should be cable tied and secured out of the way of moving objects.

Step 7 - Magnetic limit switch
stops Installation:
Included in your gate motor kit are two
magnetic limit travel stops which must be
fitted to the gear rack on your gate to ensure
safe operation.
The magnetic limit travel stops are designed
to set the desired opening and closing
position of your gate.
These limit travel stops activate when the
magnets travel past a magnetic limit switch
sensor under the motor cover (refer to Fig 19
& 20). See page 32 for an image of the
magnetic limit switch sensor.
Please note: gates can open and close in different positions due to different weights of gates, terrains,
slopes (uphill or downhill). The distance the gate will travel after triggering the magnetic limit switch
may vary.
Setting the limit travel 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 gate end catch.
•Position Magnetic Limit Travel Stop B
(LARGER) central to the magnetic limit
switch sensor on the motor (as per fig 19).
•Tighten locking screws provided.
Open Position
•Position gate 150-200mm back from the
gate stopper open position.
•This will help in making sure you do not
slam the gate into the gate stopper.
•Position Magnetic Limit Travel Stop A
(SMALLER) central to the magnetic limit
switch sensor on the motor (as per fig 20).
•Tighten locking screws provided.
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 travel stop memory, allowing for new limit travel
stop positions to be recognised by the motor.
Refer to Step 9 for testing and adjusting the limit travel stops.

Step 9 –Testing and Adjusting the Magnetic Limit Travel Stops:
Testing the closed position
•Ensure motor is plugged in as per step 8 and the gate is in the open position.
•Press remote (remotes included in kit are factory paired to the motor). The gate
will begin to close.
•The gate will stop when the magnetic limit travel stop reaches the magnetic limit
switch sensor during closing (refer to figs 19 and 20).
•When the gate stops, measure the distance remaining between the gate and the
desired closed position.
•You have now determined the closed position of the gate when the travel limit
stop passes the magnetic limit switch sensor.
•Adjust the magnetic limit travel stop from the measurement you have taken to
get your desired closed position. The ideal closed final position for the gate
frame is 10-15mm from the closed gate end catch (GTR019).
Testing the open position
•Press remote.The gate will begin to open.
•The gate will stop when the magnetic limit travel stop reaches the magnetic limit
switch sensor during opening (refer to figs 19 and 20).
•When the gate stops, measure the distance remaining between the gate and the
desired open position.
•You have now determined the open position of the gate when the travel limit stop
passes the magnetic limit switch sensor.
•Adjust the magnetic limit travel stop from the measurement you have taken to
get your desired open position. The ideal open final position for the gate frame is
10-15mm from the gate stopper (GTR017).
To Reset:
When setting new limit stop positions please ensure that you turn the power off for at least 15
seconds and then on again. Turning the power off will reset the limit stop memory, allowing for
new limit travel stop positions to be recognised by the motor.
