* 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 Warning Signs 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.Dig a hole for a concrete pad which should
be approximately 600 x 320 x 350mm (24〞
x 13〞x 14〞). It may protrude 100mm (4”)
above ground and 250mm (10”) in depth
underground. Increase the pad height if
necessary to protect the system from
flooding, heavy snow etc.
2. Prepare one or more conduits for the
electrical cables before pouring concrete.
Remember that cable conduits have to pass
through the hole in the base plate.
3. Pour concrete and before it starts to
harden, check that it is parallel to the gate
leaf and perfectly level.
4. The four anchor bolts must be set into the
concrete when it is poured, make sure the
position of anchor bolts was placed
according to the position of mounting holes
on the base plate before concrete become
harden.
5. Mount the base plate to the concrete pad.
6. Place the opener onto base plate. Check that it is perfectly parallel to the gate, and then screw the four
bolts and washers supplied. It's only temporary installation. Further adjustment will be required when install
the rack.
Manual Operation
The opener should be put in the manual (emergency release) position before fitting the rack, installing the
opener and limit switch. The process is as follows:
1) Take off the rubber stopple.
2) Insert the Release Key（provided）and turn it in counter-clockwise 180° to disengage the clutch between
the gear shaft and power output. Now the opener is in the manual operation.

Fit the Rack
There are two kinds of rack available as per your options, which are steel reinforced plastic rack and
galvanized steel rack. The galvanized steel rack is usually used for the heavy duty gate.
A. Fit the plastic rack reinforced with steel
1. Start with gate in closed position
2. There are four sections of plastic rack which is one meter length. (you can order extra rack from dealer if
necessary)
3. Put one end of rack section on the gear of opener as a temporary support.
Make rack level and mark the rack’s mounting holes (four holes for light duty or six holes for heavy duty)
on the gate.
4. Fit the rack by self-threading screws. This kind of plastic rack is quieter and allows height adjustments to
be made even after it has been fixed. Please keep 1.0mm space between the rack and the gear to avoid the
weight of the gate effect on the opener.
B. Fit the galvanized steel rack
1. Start with gate in closed position
2. There are four sections of steel rack which is one meter length. (you can order extra rack from dealer if
necessary)

3. Put one end of rack section on the gear of opener as a temporary support.
Make rack level and mark the rack’s mounting holes (three holes) on the gate.
4. Weld the rack nut on the gate as mark and connect the rack to the gate using the bolt provided. Before
weld, please keep 1.0mm space between the rack and the gear to avoid the weight of the gate effect on the
opener.
Installation of the Magnets
Before install limit switch, make sure the gate opener is put in manual operation. (the clutch connected with
gear shaft is disengaged) and the mains power supply is disconnected.
Position the S&N Magnet Components approximately on the gate and move the gate by hand to fix them in
place.
Fit magnets bracket
Push the gate fully closed by hand. Locate and install the magnet bracket so that the opener will stop at the
desired close position when the close limit switch approaches it.
Push the gate fully open by hand. Locate and install the magnet bracket so that the opener will stop at the
desired open position when the open limit switch approaches it.
The magnet component with S pole outside must be installed at left side and the magnet component
with N pole outside must be installed at right side from the view inside of property.
Ensure magnet center to align with the marked line above !
The magnets should be 20~30mm away from the Limit Switch Box. If it is too near or too far, the switches
will fail to work. Adjust the position of the magnets until the positions of the opening and closing meet the
requirement.
Important:
* Check that the rack teeth must engage the gear teeth throughout their full thickness. If not, adjust the
position of the opener or/and place a few shims between the rack and gate.
* Manually slide the gate leaf to ensure the rack is proper on the gear of opener.
* Repeat same steps of first rack section to install the rest rack sections until proper length is reached.
* Cut away any excess of the rack (Note: rack length must be longer than actual travel of the gate)
* Thoroughly fasten the four nuts as well as spring washers onto expansion bolts tightly, enabling the opener
is firmly secured on the concrete pad during the whole gate travel.

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 path of 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 midway mode, fine adjust the soft stop period
of the motor, auto close time of the gate opener and
fast change the open/close direction which is
determined by the position of the gate opener installed.
DIP Switch #1–#2: Running time of the motor in Midway Mode
DIP Switch #1: ON – 2 Seconds OFF – 0

14
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–#5: Fine adjust the soft stop period of the motor
DIP Switch #3: ON – 1 Second OFF – 0
DIP Switch #4: ON – 2 Seconds OFF – 0
DIP Switch #5: ON – 3 Seconds OFF – 0
NOTE: Every time you restart the gate opener after power off, you should use the access control
device (such as remote, push button and etc.) to operate the gate opener to run for a complete
opening cycle and a complete closing cycle to get the full opening time and the full closing time. You
would achieve the soft stop in your next opening/closing cycle. Factory default soft stop time is 3
Second. You can turn the DIP switches on/off to fine adjust the soft stop time to meet your actual
needs.
DIP Switch #6–#7: Auto close time of the gate opener
DIP Switch #6: ON – 30 Seconds OFF – 0
DIP Switch #7: ON – 60 Seconds OFF – 0
NOTE: The auto close function would be disabled if both DIP switches are turned to off (factory
default setting).
DIP Switch #8: Left/Right open
E.g. Running time of the opener in midway mode is 2+4=6 seconds.
E.g. The soft stop period of the motor is 1+2=3 seconds.
E.g. Auto close time of the gate opener is 30+60=90 seconds.

15
2. Potentiometers
Potentiometer A is used to adjust the close stall force the gate operator. Turn clockwise to increase the stall
force, and turn it counter-clockwise to decrease the stall force.
Potentiometer B is used to adjust the open stall force the gate operator. Turn 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.
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 and
B. 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 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.
How to Program or Erase the Remote
 The remote MUST be programed to the opener BEFORE OPERATING. Please follow the steps to
program the remote.
 Activate the opener only when gate is in full view, free of obstruction and properly adjusted. No
one should enter or leave gate area while gate is in motion. DO NOT ALLOW CHILDREN to
operate push button or remote. DO NOT ALLOW
CHILDREN TO PLAY NEAR THE GATE.
 If you purchase additional remote controls, the
gate opener must be programmed to accept the
new remote code.

Symptom
Possible Solution(s)
The opener does not
run. Power LED is
OFF.
1. Make sure that the power cord is properly plugged into the mains outlet.
2. Check if the output voltage of the transformer is 24VAC. If the voltage
measures 0, the transformer may be overheated or damaged. Turn power off
and allow board to cool for several minutes then reset. Replace the
transformer if the symptom still exists.
3. Check the fuse in the control board. Replace the fuse if it was burnt out.
4. Check the status of the over-discharged LED on the solar controller, the
voltage of the batteries is too low to power the gate opener if the LED is ON.
Please wait the batteries are charged to full.
5. The solar controller could be faulty if the over-discharged LED is ON when
the voltage of the batteries is normal (>24VDC).
6. Check the control board. Replace the control board if necessary.
The opener does not
run. Power LED is
ON.
1. Check to be sure the beam is not blocked if a photocell is used as a
secondary entrapment prevention device. If a photocell is not used, photocell
terminal of the control board should be shorted by a jumper wire.
2. Check the motor. Release the clutch then disconnect the wires of the
motor from terminal 1 and 2. Connect the wires to 24V battery directly, the
motor should run, and then exchange the wires, the motor should run in the
opposite direction. If the motor runs in both directions, please check the other
parts listed below.
3. Check the limit switch. Use a jumper wire to short terminal 4 with terminal
3 and 5, and then use a keying device to operate the opener, replace the limit
switch if the motor could run in both directions.
4. Check the control board. Replace the control board if necessary.
Remote control does
not work.
1. The indicator light of remote control is not on. Check the battery in your
remote control. Replace the battery if necessary.
2. The distance you use the remote is too far away from the opener. Try it
again closer.
3. Remote control is not suitable for receiver. After making sure the codes are
correct, erase remote controls and then re-program the codes in the device.
4. Check the control board. Replace the control board if necessary.
The gate starts but it
is immediately stop or
reverse
1. Check the HALL sensor board in the side of the gear box has been
connected to the control board tightly.
2. Check that the clutch is adjusted properly and is not slipping.
3. The opening force or closing force is adjusted too small. Turn the
Potentiometer A&B to increase the force.
4. Disconnect the gate from the gate opener and check that the gate slides
freely without any binding.
5. Check the control board. Replace the control board if necessary.
