Motor Installation:
Before you start
• The GTR207 Sliding Gate Automatic kit is suitable for powering the opening and closing motion of
gates up to 800kg in weight, and up to a length of 8m on level, at ground.
• Gate motion is achieved by the rotating cog of the gate motor driving the gear rack tted 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 tted 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, keypads, push buttons, and warning light.
The low voltage power supply connects to your power point and reduces the voltage to 24V AC. This lower
and safer voltage can then be ran to your gate motor to power the motor. Power Supply: The GTR207
requires 1 x 10Amp 240V AC 50Hz power supply.
If your power supply and power point are mounted outdoors a RCD Protected Weatherproof PowerPoint
will be required. This will require a licensed electrician to install.
Any works done to the motor must be completed whilst the power is o󰀨 and the motor is unplugged.
The gate motor will open the gate to the right-hand side as its default setting (refer to g 1).
Low Voltage
Power Supply:
How it Works
Please Note:
• Your power outlet should be no more than 1m from the low voltage power supply.
• If your power outlet is more than 1m from the low voltage power supply, you will require a licensed
electrician to t a new power cable.
• Any excess cable length should be cable tied and secured out of the way of moving objects.
• If the 30m cable supplied with this product is not enough length to reach your gate. A licenced
electrician can extend the length of the cable up to 60m. At this distance, the low voltage power supply
will be su󰀩cient to power a sliding gate up to 400kg.
• If your gate is over 60m from a convenient location for a power point consult with your local electrician
to t a larger 24VAC power supply and size the cable so suit your requirements.

Step 1 - Gate Preparation Before Adding
Your Sliding Gate Motor:
• Ensure that the sliding gate is correctly installed.
• The gate is horizontal and level and the gate can glide back and forth smoothly when moved by hand
before installing the Automatic Gate Opener.
• Wheels and guide rollers should rotate easily and be free from dirt/grime.
• Track should be at, level and rmly a󰀩xed.
• Any misalignment in the gate will a󰀨ect performance of the automatic gate opener.
The gate should slide smoothly by hand before attempting to install the gate opener.
Please ensure that the motor power cable is not plugged in at any stage before Step 9
Please Note:
The warning signage
provided (Part 6)
must be displayed on
the street facing side
of your automatic
gate at all times.

GTR207 Installation Manual: Rev 1b 11
Step 2 - Mounting the Low Voltage Power Supply
For your convenience the GTR207 gate motor is supplied with 30m of cable, prewired to a low voltage power supply. This
will allow you to mount your low voltage power supply beside a standard domestic 10AMP 240Volt power point (in your
garage or next to an outdoor power point). The low voltage power line can then be ran to your gate entrance to power your
gate opener. The 2 core cable supplied is suitable for direct burial without needing to be run through electrical conduit.
Measure the distance from the power supply to your gate
• Place the motor approximately where you want it to sit near the gate
• Run the 30m cable from the gate motor to your desired mounting postion.
Please ensure that enough cable is left for the motor to be positioned and installed.
Any excess cable length should be cable tied and secured out of the way of moving objects.
There are 2 main methods that can be used for running the cable when installing the power supply:
Option 1: Run the cable across the yard/property and bury it.
Option 2: Run the cable along the fence line of the property and secure out of the way.
For added protection the cable can be run through electrical conduit.
To mount the low voltage power supply
box to a masonry wall (brick/concrete):
• Drill 8mm diameter holes with a masonry drill bit.
• Tap in 8mm diameter wall plugs and secure the
box to the wall using 10 guage screws.
To mount the low voltage power supply
box to a timber surface:
• Pilot drill the marked holes.
• Secure the box with 10 guage timber screws.
Mount The Low Voltage Power Supply
• Place the low voltage power supply in the
desired mounting position
• Using a marker, mark the (4) positions for
your anchor bolts ready for drilling
(refer to g 08)

GTR207 Installation Manual: Rev 1b 16
Step 8 - Limit Travel Stops:
Included in your gate motor kit are two limit travel
stops (Part 7a) which must be tted to the gear
racks on your gate to ensure safe operation.
The limit travel stops are designed to set the
desired opening and closing position of your
gate. These limit travel stops are designed to
come into contact with the spring limit switch.
Please note: gates can open and close in
di󰀨erent positions due to di󰀨erent weights of
gates, terrains, slopes (uphill or downhill). The
distance the gate will travel after contacting
the spring limit switch may vary.
Test the spring limit travel stops by moving the gate manually until you hear a click, making sure contact is
made with the spring limit switch on the motor.
To Reset: When setting new limit travel stop positions please ensure that you turn the power o󰀨 and then on
again. Turning the power o󰀨 will reset the limit travel stop memory, allowing for new limit travel stop positions
to be recognised by the motor.
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 end stop/
catch when setting the closed position
under power.
• Fit limit travel stop onto the top of gear
rack at the point where it meets the
spring limit switch on the motor.
• Tighten locking screws.
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 end stop/catch
when setting the open position under
power.
• Fit limit travel stop onto the top of gear
rack at the point where it meets the
spring limit switch on the motor.
• Tighten locking screws.

Step 10 - Testing the Limit Travel Stops:
Testing the closed position
• Ensure motor is plugged in as per step 9 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 limit travel stop will hit the spring limit switch and the gate will stop.
• 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 hits the spring limit
switch.
• Adjust the limit travel stop from the measurement you have taken to get your nal gate closed position.
The ideal closed nal position for the gate frame is 10-15mm from closed gate end catch (GTR019).
Testing the open position
• Press remote. The gate will begin to open.
• The limit travel stop will hit the spring limit switch and the gate will stop.
• 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 hits the spring limit
switch.
• Adjust the limit travel stops from the measurement you have taken to get your nal gate open position.
The ideal open nal position for the gate frame is 10-15mm from the gate stopper (GTR017).
To Reset: When setting new limit travel stop positions please ensure that you turn the power o󰀨 and then on
again. Turning the power o󰀨 will reset the limit travel stop memory, allowing for new limit travel stop positions
to be recognised by the motor.
