Preparation
5
Before first Use
Unpack all parts of the device and check them for damage in transit
and completeness according to the overview on page III + IV.
Dispose of packaging materials or store it out of reach of children.
Plastic bags etc. may become a deadly toy for children.
Intended Use
The sliding gate opener is only designed for operating light-
weighted sliding gates in the domestic, non-commercial sector with
medium transit frequency. The max. permissible size of the gate
and the max. weight must not be exceeded (see Technical Data).
Mounting Conditions/Requirements
The sliding gate opener is designed for gates with max. weight of
600 kg. The structure of the gate has to be rigid (iron, metal,
wood). The gate path must not have any gradients/slopes.
The sliding gate system must be in good mechanical and
trouble-free condition and should not be damaged or has signs
of wear. It must be possible to open and close the gate by hand
without any problems. The mechanical gate lock must be dis-
mounted resp. disengaged.
The gate slide track must be linear and horizontal. The gate
poles have to be fixed in concrete.
The magnet limit switches are correctly positioned.
The control box may only be installed by a qualified professional
in an easily accessible place.
The centre of gravity of the gate must be in the middle of the
gate (max. allowable deviation ± 20 %).
Preparation
1. Check all parts for damage in transit. Do not use a defective
sliding gate opener or defective accessory.

Preparation

2. To ensure proper and quick mounting, read the manual
thoroughly. Allow a second person to assist you. This will make
installation easier.
3. Have the required tools available:
power drill and drill bits, tape measure/folding ruler, open end
wrenches (size 14 and 17), wire stripers, small level, hacksaw,
Philips and slot screwdriver, ball pen/pencil, socket insert set.
4. Disengage the existing mechanical sliding gate lock.
Hint: The sliding gate does not need an additional lock as the
sliding gate opener is self-locking when connecting to the sliding
gate opener and power mains. The gate cannot be easily
opened without damaging the gate opener or the hinges of the
gate system.
5. Built a concrete pad of approx. 46 x 42 x 35 cm (see drawing on
page 7). The concrete pad should be at least 10 cm over the
ground. Increase the pad height if necessary to protect the gate
opener from flooding, heavy snow fall etc. Make sure the con-
crete pad is level. Protect the sliding gate opener from acci-
dental impacts.
6. Prepare one or more channels for the
cables before pouring the concrete.
Remember that the cable channels
have to pass through the cable hole.
Allow the concrete pad to harden
sufficiently before mounting the sliding
gate opener on the concrete pad.

Emergency Release –Manual Operation of the Sliding Gate
Before mounting the nylon racks (not included in delivery),
disengage the gearwheel of the sliding gate opener by using the
included releasing key (4). By doing this proper function of the
sliding gate opener and the correct position of the magnet limit
switch can be checked.
1. For releasing the sliding gate opener, first remove the cap.
2. Insert the included releasing key into the lock and turn the key
90° counter clockwise.
3. Now you can turn the gearwheel by hand.
Make sure that during releasing resp. locking the gearwheel the
sliding gate will not be operated accidentally by an unexpected
impulse.
1. Unscrew the screws from the housing of the sliding gate opener
and remove the cover.
2. Mount the sliding gate opener on a trial basis on concrete pad.
3. Disengage the sliding gate opener by using the included
releasing key. For mounting the nylon racks, close the gate by
hand.
4. Place the rack on the gearwheel of the sliding gate opener.
Adjust the rack on the gearwheel. Make sure to have a space of

approx. 1 mm between the rack and the gearwheel (see the
drawing on page 10, note A) and fix the rack with the self-
securing screws.
The rack must be positioned absolutely horizontal on the gear-
wheel. Never use fat or other lubricating agents between the
gearwheel and the rack!
5. Adjust the other racks, too. Make sure the teeth of the racks
engage the gearwheel throughout their full thickness. If not, re-
adjust the position of the sliding gate opener! When mounting
the racks make sure that the transitions between the individual
toothed racks are smooth to ensure uniform gate movement.
6. Protect the sliding gate opener from entering humidity with the
included rubber plug. If necessary seal all openings by using
silicone.
7. Re-engage the emergency release with the included releasing
key. For doing this, turn the key clockwise to 90°.
8. If the positions of the racks and the sliding gate opener are
correct, fix the sliding gate opener on the concrete pad and re-
tighten the cover on the motor housing.

Each magnet should not be more than 20 mm away from the
magnetic limit switch (view from the side); otherwise proper function
cannot be guaranteed.
Adjusting the Stall Force
Due to special mounting situations it can, however, happen that the
adjusted stall force from factory is not sufficient, for reversing the
gate. In this case, the stall force setting has to be re-adjusted.
The potentiometer A is necessary to adjust the stall force of the
sliding gate opener. The potentiometer A is for the stall force when
opening the gate.
Turn the potentiometer
- clockwise for increasing the stall force and
- counter clockwise for decreasing the stall force.
