as ready for site installation.
Please ensure that you read ALL of these instructions, plus any other instructions supplied, then simply
follow Instructions step by step.
Power - 240V/12V/Solar Panel/Battery must not be connected until appropriate [see item 6 page 9].
IMPORTANT: Do NOT alter any pre-wiring of circuit board [except motor polarity* when necessary].
Altering Pre-wiring [except motor polarity*] will compromise your warranty
* ALL power [240v/12V/Solar/battery] must be disconnected before attempting to change motor
polarity
XP Series Swing Gate Operators are suitable for and guaranteed when the gates [up to 300 kg*] are
correctly hinged and operate smoothly and evenly.
*XP Series Gate operators will drive a variety of Gate Styles, Sizes & Weights. Suitability is dependent on
the quality of hinging and the force required at One Metre from the hinge center-point to open and close
the gate, 15 Kg is the maximum for gates opening IN [PULL] and 7.5 Kg for gates opening OUT [PUSH]
If you do not understand any of the instructions, or have any doubts, then please Fax [phone] or
Email your queries [email protected] or ring us on 02 6280 4655 re your concerns before you apply
power to the unit or you may void your warranty
DO NOT connect the RED Spade Terminal to the Battery until you are ready to set the Limit Switches. The
RED Spade Terminal is supplied, disabled* from the Battery. [* i.e. Not connected to the Battery]
The last item to be connected is the SOLAR PANEL, do this after ALL other settings and adjustments have
been made.
Important: [Battery change - Circuit board posts - Motor polarity change - Photoelectric Safety]
Before moving the circuit board for any reason [or changing motor polarity], including when changing the
Battery, you must ensure that ALL Power from any 240v/12V/ Battery/ Solar Panel is disconnected to
avoid damage to the circuit board. The Circuit board is supplied mounted on top of 4 nylon ‘posts’ in this
position they act as spacers, ensure these ‘posts’ remain in place and circuit board is correctly located on
top of these posts. There is a copper wire [a ‘bridge’] connecting the PE terminals, DO NOT REMOVE this
‘bridge’ unless connecting photoelectric safety cells or unless otherwise instructed.
Ensure that there are NO loose wire strands when disconnecting and connecting any wires.
Do not expose control board or any electronic circuitry to any …… • Lubricants • Moisture • Rain
• Insecticide spray or any ‘foreign’ materials
No cabling must be run in conjunction with any high voltage cables or electric fencing – if in doubt, seek
advice from a qualified Electrician in Your State or Territory.
Installation:
Standard Installation. [PULL]
A “Standard Installation” is one where gate[s] open in. [swinging INWARD toward the Motor Housing].
Generally the gate hinge should be no more than 200mm from the rear of the Pier/Post/Pillar, ask us for
advice if this distance is greater.
Side room of 350mm is normally required to accommodate the swing of the arms.
Refer to Pages 13 & 14 if there is restricted side room [See fig 1] some pictures of restricted side-room
installation are in the “image gallery at “ www.sungateaustralia.net
©

V07-2014 Page 5of 24 ©
Installation procedure:
Refer page 10 if restricted side room
1.
Ensure that the gates swing freely and that all existing latches/padbolts/Chains etc are disabled or
removed from the gate & Gate posts
2.
When using a 240v Unit [XP 100 or XP 100/300] the Master operator [the one containing the
Circuit Board] should be fitted to the Gate Post nearest the Power Supply.
Remove the cover, from the XP Operator [taking care that you DO NOT expose circuit board
to any moisture] to access the slotted fixing holes cut in the rear of the Chassis. Bend the
tabs out and bend them back against the rear of the chassis, in this position they act a
spacers allowing clearance for the cover[s] NOTE: [Do not remove these tabs – just bend
them out and fold them to the back] [Unless you are using the optional XP-MP Mounting
Plate]
3.
Position each unit on the gate post/pier/pillar[s]
The vertical position is found by locating the gate bracket. The Gate bracket is best placed where
there is adequate fixing on the gate and movement of the arms is unrestricted [See Fig. 2]
The XP Auto Gate Operator[s] may now be bolted in place.
Fig 1. Standard Installation:
*Where the distance is greater than 200mm the Secondary arm may
need to be extended, contact Sun-Power if you need assistance.

V07-2014 Page 6of 24 ©
INSTALLING THE RADIO RECEIVER:
Step 1. Ensure that Positive lead [RED] is disconnected and away from the
Battery Positive terminal
Step 2. Ensure Solar Panel [or Mains power] is NOT Connected to the Gate
operator
Step 3. Line up the ports on the radio receiver [Rx] with the 6 PRONGS on the
Main circuit board - now slide the Radio Receiver [Rx] fully onto the 6
prongs at the bottom end of the main circuit board.

The XP Operators are set in the factory for a “Standard PULL Installation” When the Master
Operator is placed on the LEFT HAND SIDE [from the inside [motor side] – looking out] the wiring
is Brown above Blue [ref. P. 15 - 16]
When the Master Operator is located on the RIGHT HAND SIDE [motor side - from the inside–
looking out] then the motor wires need to be reversed. ie; BLUE above BROWN.
To accomplish this, locate the connection blocks for each motor on the Circuit board.
Swap*the BROWN &BLUE wires for Motor 1 [& Motor 2 if a pair of gates] [See Figure 3
above].
IMPORTANT:
*ALL power including • 240v • 12V • Solar • Battery must be disconnected
before attempting to change motor polarity
5.
Location of Gate Bracket on Gate:
The Gate bracket should be positioned on the gate so that the arms are ALMOST in a
straight line when the gates are closed [Ref. P.9 Fig. 4] To check the location of the gate
brackets, first disengage the Main arm from the drive shaft [Using the spanner provided,
unscrew the bolt until the arm swings freely] Then clamp the gate bracket in position. Open
and close the gate to ensure the gate bracket is appropriately located.

V07-2014 Page 9of 24 ©
©
6. Connect power [12v or 240v or Solar] to the Master Operator and connect the Battery
7. The Limit Switches may now be adjusted [If necessary] [See figure 5.] Each of the Master and
Slave Operators has its own pair of cams, one to set the open position & one to set the closed
position.
Firstly mark the position of each cam as a reference. Loosen the screw holding the Cams.
NOW you can drive the XP Operator with the transmitter & NOTE which cam controls the opening
and which cam operates in the closing motion. [The Cam activates a Limit Switch to turn off the
Motor]
Re-position each Cam and operate the XP again. Repeat until the Gates open & close to the
required positions.

V07-2014 Page 10 of 24 ©
Side Mount Installation:
The XP Operator may be mounted sideways, with the long side against the Pier/Post, for extra
flexibility.
This feature is very useful for situations where … [Ref. P 10. Fig. 6]
The Gate must swing further than 90 degrees
The Gate swings outward.
The Gate swing outward & it is positioned at least 400mm forward of the back of the
Pier/Post
Note: See also section on Out-swing Installation.
©
When side mounting, each XP Operator should be fitted to the Pier/Post with its output shaft close
to the gate hinge. With this in mind the “Standard Installation” instructions may now be followed.
Optional Side Mount cover sets with backing plate[s] are available, and must be used for
SIDE MOUNT installation.
Restricted/Limited Side Room Installation:
This term is applied to the situation where the movement of the Standard Arms cannot be
accommodated within the side room available. [www.sungateaustralia.net ] Images Gallery show a
typical limited side room installation.
In most situations this problem can be overcome by cutting down the secondary arm [The link
joining the Gate to the Primary arm].
This new length can be approximated by the following procedure.
i. Move the Primary Arm to a position suitable for the closed gate.
Remembering that in the closed position the Primary & Secondary arms must stop short
of a straight line alignment [See figure 7]

V07-2014 Page 11 of 24 ©
Restricted/Limited Side Room Installation - Continued:
©
ii. Mark a point on the gate suitable for the gate bracket. Holding the gate bracket in
position, measure the distance between the hole centers on the gate bracket & Primary
arm.
iii. Now move the primary arm to its maximum open position. Open the gate & measure
the distance again [See figure 8].
iv. If the length has changed then the gate bracket must be repositioned & the same
process repeated until the dimension remains the same for both positions.
Be careful that the Secondary arm does not conflict with the drive shaft of the Primary
arm.

a. Once the dimension is consistent a new hole can be drilled in the Secondary arm &
the arm trimmed to suit. The gate bracket & secondary arm should now be fitted.
Out – Swing Installation[PUSH]
In this type of installation the gate swings outward or away from the XP Operator to the
open position. [See figure 6/2, 6/3]
Several factors must be considered to determine the most suitable arm length. These include
The drive through width required - The Placement of the XP Gate Operator - The
location of the gate on the Post/Pier/Pillar . Direct support is available from SUN-POWER in
these situations. [Photos and/or drawings will assist]
For assistance [if required] please provide a drawing [Mud map] of your situation showing all
possible measurements. Width between Piers/Posts/Pillars - Size of Piers/Posts - Single or
Double Gates - Position of hinges on Piers/Posts/Pillars
Note: The polarity of the Motor connections may need to be reversed for Out- swing
operation.
* ALL power inc • 240v • 12V • Solar • Battery must be disconnected before attempting to change
motor polarity. Ensure that there are NO loose wire strands when disconnecting and
reconnecting any wires/cables

V07-2014 Page 13 of 24 ©
Settings:
Important: ALL adjustments to TRIM POTS/Dials must be done slowly and carefully with a
correctly sized flat-blade screwdriver or Trim pot adjusting Tool
Auto Close
The Operator Control Board is supplied with a “JUMPER” installed on a 3 PIN Block. This allows the
gate to automatically close after a specific period. This period is adjustable. [Refer to Figure 9]
i. Turn ‘Auto Close delay’ Trim pot Anti-clockwise to increase the hold-open time delay
before gate closes automatically
ii. Trim pot Clockwise to shorten the hold-open time delay before gate closes automatically
This “JUMPER” fits onto any two of three “PINS”
• If fitted on “PINS” 1 & 2 the gate is set to close Automatically.
• If fitted on “PINS” 2 & 3 the gate will require a *signal to close [Standard factory setting]
• If there is NO “JUMPER” or it is lost unit will revert to standard factory setting
*Signal can be from Remote control [Transmitter] - Push Button – Keypad – Intercom etc
Multi-user Function: [Apartments – Flats – other Multi-user applications ]
Where the XP Gate Operator is installed for Multi-users [eg: Flats – Apartments etc]
There is a Jumper installed on a 3 Pin Block approx in the middle of the Main Control Board.. If
jumper is on pins 1 & 2 the Operator will not allow gate to close on a signal, it will continue to
open position, time out then auto close.
If jumper is on pins 2 & 3 [Normal] a signal eg: from remote Control will reverse the direction of
the Operator
Overloads:
The overloads [See Figure 9] are preset to maximum sensitivity, i.e slight pressure will cause the
Operator to STOP if it is Opening or STOP & OPEN if it is closing.
Note: If these functions are reversed, i.e.: the gate STOPS when Closing & STOPS & Automatically
REVERSES when Opening, then the polarity of the Motor connections MUST be Reversed, and the
Limit Switch Cams adjusted.
There is ONE overload for each gate, as indicated on the Main Circuit Board. To reduce the
sensitivity on the Main Circuit Board turn the overload dials in the Anti-Clockwise direction.
BE CAREFUL ! Large reductions in sensitivity may allow the gate[s] to exert excessive pressure on
people or vehicles trapped in the path of the gate[s]
Travel time:
There is a “TRAVEL TIMER” and a Yellow L.E.D & Dial/Trimpot located to the left of the Auto close
jumper. This should be set to approximately 5 to 10 seconds after full operation, ie; after gate[s]
reach full travel on Limit Switches in both OPEN & CLOSED position. [Refer. Fig. 9 P.15 Fig.10 P. 16]
Travel time can be adjusted by turning* Dial/Trimpot Anti-clockwise to extend travel time and
vice-versa.
*Always use correct sized flat blade screwdriver to avoid damage to Dials/trimpots

Anti – Clash Leaf Delay for Pairs of Gates.
To avoid jamming there is a time delay between the movement of each gate. This delay may be
independently adjusted for the Opening sequence & the Closing sequence.
LEFT HAND Installations [Master Operator on the Left] - Dial “R 24” changes the Closing delay &
“R 27” changes the Opening delay. Turning the dials/trimpots R24 and R27 Anti-Clockwise gives
the Minimum delay.
*Always use correct sized flat blade screwdriver to avoid damage to dials/trimpots
RIGHT HAND Installations [Master Operator on the Right] - Dial “R 24” sets the Opening delay & “R
27” sets the Closing delay. Turning dial /trimpots R24 and R27 Anti-Clockwise gives the Minimum
delay.
Push Buttons, Keypads etc.
A variety of Hard-wired input devices can be used to operate the XP Operator such as Push
buttons, Key switches, Keypads etc. Input should be in the form of a MOMENTARY CLOSED
CIRCUIT.
WARNING !! Voltage MUST NOT be applied to the Push Button terminals. DAMAGE to the
Circuitry and loss of warranty will result if voltage is applied. Devices that send a Voltage pulse [As
some Intercoms do] must be connected to the Circuit Board through a Relay.
Important Notes:
