Installation of the Opener
Caution:
*Be sure that the opener is installed in a level
and paralleled position. Improper installation
could result in property damage, severe injury,
and/or death.
* Before starting installation, ensure that there is
no point of friction during the entire movement
of the gate and there is no danger of derailment.
* Ensure that the safety side rollers are present.
Necessary Tools: The following tools may be
necessary to install the Gate opener. You will need
screwdrivers, an electric drill, wire cutters and a wire
stripper, a socket set, and possibly access to a
welder.
When install the opener, you should build a
concrete pad to support the base plate of opener in
order to maintain proper stability.
The installation proceeds are as follows:
1.Assemble the Base Plate and fix the Opener to
the Base Plate.
2.Dig a hole for a concrete pad which should be
approximately 60 x 32 x 35cm (24〞x 13〞x 14〞).
It may protrude 10 cm (4”) above ground and 25 cm
(10”) in depth underground. Increase the pad height if necessary to protect the system from flooding, heavy
snow etc.
3. Prepare one or more conduits for the electrical cables before pour concrete. Remember that cable
conduits have to pass through the hole on the base.
4. Pour concrete and before it starts to harden, check that it is parallel to the gate leaf and perfectly level.
5. Mark the position of four expansion anchors according to the position of mounting hole on the base plate.
Double check your marking, move the base plate and drill the 4 holes using a 14mm (9/16”) masonry bit. Put
the 4 expansion anchors (provided) into the holes and firmly tighten.
6. Mount the base plate to the concrete Pad and firmly tighten, enabling the opener is firmly secured
on the concrete pad during the whole gate travel.
Manual Operation
You can open the gate by manual when power failure. And the opener should be put in the manual
(emergency release) position before fitting the belt, installing the opener and limit switch. The process is as
follows:
Insert the Release Key and turn it in
clockwise 90°, then pull the release handle in
clockwise 90° to disengage the clutch
between the gear shaft and motor. Now the
opener is in the manual operation.

Setting of the Control Board
WARNING: Ensure the gate opener is Power Off when you make any adjustment of the gate
opener. Keep away from the gate during you set the gate opener system in case of the unexpected
gate moving. Carefully adjust the DIP switches to avoid the risk of machine damage and injury or
death. Always ask the help of professional technician /electrician if you have any question.
1. DIP Switches
The DIP switches are used to set the running
time of the motor in pedestrian mode,
enable/disable auto close function of the gate
operator and fast change the open/close
direction which is determined by the position
of the gate operator installed.
DIP Switch #1–#2: Running time of the
motor in Midway Mode
DIP Switch #1: ON –2 Seconds OFF –0
DIP Switch #2: ON –4 Seconds OFF –0
NOTE: The midway mode function would be disabled if both DIP switches are turned off. Factory
default setting is disabled. The midway mode could be activated by pressing button B of the remote
control when the gate is in the full closed position.
DIP Switch #3: Auto close function enabled/disabled
DIP Switch #3: ON –auto close function enabled
OFF –auto close function disabled
E.g. Running time of the operator in midway mode is 2 seconds.
E.g. Auto close function of the opener has been enabled. Factory default setting is disabled.

14
Important Note: When the auto close function is enabled, the photocell sensor is highly
recommended to be installed with the gate opener for safety.
DIP Switch #4: Left/Right open
2. Potentiometers
Potentiometer A and B are used to adjust the stall force and auto close time of the gate operator separately.
Turn potentiometer A clockwise to increase the stall force, and turn it counter-clockwise to decrease the
stall force.
WARNING: Photocell is highly recommended to be installed with the gate opener as entrapment
protection for safety when you set stall force to maximum.
Turn potentiometer B clockwise to increase the auto close time, and turn it counter-clockwise to decrease
the auto close time, the auto close time could be adjusted gradually from 1 to 99 seconds.
Test the Reversing Sensitivity
For the sake of safety, it is very important to test the reversing sensitivity as soon as the control board set is
finished.
The reversing sensitivity adjustment is inverse correlation with stall force adjustment in potentiometer A. In
other word, the stall force level is higher; the reversing sensitivity level is lower.
Put an immobile object along the gate path, and then operate the gate to strike it during the close cycles.
The gate must reverse as soon as object is struck with it. If the gate doesn’t reverse, please increase the
reversing sensitivity by turning the potentiometer A in counter-clockwise direction. (Turning the stall force
potentiometer toward to MIN position to increase the reversing sensitivity)
Note 1: If the sensitivity setting is too higher, the gate will stop or reverses very easy by itself while
there is little obstruction or resistance such as strong wind or heavy snow sometimes.
Note 2: Always check the gate reversing function every each time of control board set or restart after
power off.
