4. Working Principle and Main Structure
DKC400(U)Y all-in-one multifunctional sliding gate operator integrated the electric control
board into the operator, it 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 the rack attached to the sliding gate, thus moving the
gate.
Control board not included in DKC400(U) main unit, it can be fitted with the XF24W(AC220V)
or XF24U(AC110V) control box according to your needs. The control box can be purchased
through your dealer.
5. Installation and Adjustment
The DKC400(U) & DKC400(U)Y rack-driven gate operator operates by forcing a drive rack
past a drive gear. The entire configuration is shown in Fig.1 - Fig.4. The gate operator must be
installed on the inside of the gate.
Gate preparation
Be sure the gate is properly installed and slides smoothly before installing the sliding gate
operator. The gate must be plumb, level, and move freely.

Conduit
In order to protect the wires, use PVC conduit for wires, conduit must be set 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.
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 300mm x 200mm x 200mm deep in order to
provide for adequate operation. The pad should be 70mm above finish grade. Be sure to
locate the pad so that it will not interfere with the gate.
Anchors
You can use the anchors, bolts, washers and nuts that are provided with the operator see Fig.5
and Fig.6. These anchors must be set into the concrete when it is poured, or you can use
wedge expansion bolts.
Operator base
Mount the gate operator base to the concrete pad see Fig.5.Verify that the operator is leveled
properly.
Operator
Mount the gate operator to the base using nuts and washers.

Installing the rack (see Fig.7)
Weld the steel rack
Manually move the gate to its closing position.
Place the three threaded pawls (in the same package with rack) on the rack element.
Lay the first piece of rack on the gear and weld the first threaded pawl on the gate.
Move the gate manually, checking if the rack is resting on the gear, and weld the
second and third pawls.

DKC400(U) & DKC400(U)Y SLIDING GATE OPERATOR USER’S MANUAL
The space between rack and gear is about 1mm.
Bring another rack element near to the previous one. Move the gate manually and weld
the three pawls 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.
If necessary, assemble the spacer between the rack and pawl to synchronise the teeth
of the two rack elements and keep racks in a straight line. See Fig.7
Screw the nylon rack
Manually move the gate to its closing position.
Lay the first piece of rack on the gear and mark the drilling point on the gate, drill a hole
and screw the bolt.
Move the gate manually, checking if the rack is resting on the gear, and repeat the
above operations.
Bring another rack element near to the previous one. Move the gate manually and carry
out the securing operations, thus proceeding until the gate is fully covered.
Fig.7
Magnets for limit switch
Install the magnet as shown in Fig.8 and Fig.9. 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 or fit 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 magnets until the positions of the
opening and closing meet the requirement.
Important Note: Please note the two magnet brackets (fixed plate) are different: one is
higher and another is lower. Verify and if necessary exchange the two brackets position.
Also if necessary exchange the limit switch wires CL (close) and OP (open). Another
common problem is there are two reed switches inside the magnetic limit switch: one is

resistance 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. Note: if the gate fails to reverse in the event of
obstruction, then the opening force or closing force should be checked for conformity with
requirements and adjusted accordingly. The gate will reverse if obstructed when closing, and
will stop if jammed when opening.
Please exchange two wires ‘V’ and ‘W’ if the auto-reverse direction is wrong. Exchange wires
‘OP’ and ‘CL’ if the limit direction is wrong.
WARNING: Do not attempt to tune the gate by placing your hand, arm or other body part in the
path of the gate, as serious injury could result. Damage to the gate operator motors may also
occur by placing a heavy immovable object in the path during the testing phase. Instead, place
a light object in the path (e.g., a chair or trash can) which can be pushed out of the way without
causing damage to gate motors. Once the tuning is complete you may replace the cover.
