4. Working principle and main structure
The device is composed of a single-phase motor, worm and worm gear. The main shaft of the
motor rotates the worm with the clutch engaged, the worm rotates the worm gear and output
gear, which pushes rack attached to the sliding gate, thus moving the gate. The dimension is
shown in Fig.1.
Fig.1
5. Manual operation
In case of power failure use manual release key to open or close gate manually, use the release
key as follow:
Fit the release key in the lock.
Turn the key about 4-6 circles anticlockwise.
Open or close the gate manually.
Note: If the gate bumps the mounting post and cannot be electric opened, move the gate a few
inches by hand, thus you can release the gate with the key, open or close the gate manually.

Conduit
In order to protect the wires, conduit must be preset into the concrete when it is poured. Wires
within the conduit shall be located or protected so that no damage can result from contact with
any rough or sharp part. If you have installed an external button switch, we advise you to use
two conduits: one for main power wire, another one for control wire. Always separate power
wires from control wires.
Concrete pad
The base unit of the gate operator requires a concrete pad in order to maintain proper stability.
The concrete pad should be approximately 400mm x 250mm x 200mm deep in order to provide
for adequate operation.
Anchors
You can use the anchor bolts, anchors, washers, and nuts. These anchors must be set into the
concrete when it is poured, or you can use wedge anchors.

properly.
Installation of Rack (see Fig.6)
Fix the three nuts (in the same package with rack) on the rack element.
Lay the first piece of rack on the gear and weld the first nut on the gate.
Move the gate manually, checking if the rack is resting on the gear, and weld the second
and the third nut.
Bring another rack element near to the previous one. Move the gate manually and weld the
three nuts as the first rack, thus proceeding until the gate is fully covered.
When the rack has been installed, to ensure it meshes correctly with the gear.
The space between rack and gear is about 1-2mm.

Magnets for limit switch
Install the magnet as shown in Fig.7 and Fig.8 below. The magnet and limit switch are used to
control the position of the gate.
When the magnet is installed, release the gear clutch and push the sliding gate manually to
pre-determine the position. Weld the magnet bracket to the rack and then tighten the gear clutch.
The lower bracket is for open position and higher bracket is for close position. Finally adjust the
magnet to the proper position by moving the gate with the motor. The magnet should be
10~15mm away from the magnetic limit switch. If it is too far away, the switch will fail to work.
Adjust the position of the magnetic limit switch until the positions of the opening and closing
meet the requirement.

1.2 meters for people pass through, after passing through the gate, the gate will close
automatically.
Adjustment of opening & closing force: rotate the ‘VR1’ (See Fig.11 terminal 7) knob
with a screwdriver to adjust opening & closing force, the force may be increased (or
decreased) by rotating clockwise (or counterclockwise). If you turn the variable resistor
clockwise it will increase force. If you turn the variable resistor counterclockwise, it will
decrease force.
Adjustment of soft stop width: Rotate the ‘VR2’knob (See Fig.11 terminal 6) to adjust soft
stop width, the width may be increased by rotating clockwise (soft stop width: 0-40cm
adjustable).
Infrared photocell (not included): If infrared beam is interrupted during closing, the gate
will reverse and go open immediately. Connect infrared photocell to terminal ‘IR’and ‘GND’
on the control board. Short ‘IR’and ‘GND’if infrared photocell is not used.
Open priority: The gate will return to open if press ‘OPEN’button of external button switch
during closing.
Loop detector: connect loop detector (N.O.) to terminal block ‘DET’and ‘GND’.
If loop detector detects vehicles during closing, the gate will open immediately and stay
open until the vehicles move out of the loop. After vehicles move out of the loop, the gate
will continue to close.
If loop detector detects vehicles when the gate stops, the gate will open immediately until
vehicles move out of the loop. After vehicles move out of the loop, the gate will close.
Soft start: snip the short wire ‘S3’, the gate will start softly.
