BEFORE YOU BEGIN The drive mechanism needs room to the side permitting correct installation of drive arms. Please make sure that this is available. Gates affected by high wind loads must also be protected by an (electric) lock.

There are many factors to consider when choosing the right drive mechanism. Assuming that a gate functions properly, "startup" is the most difficult phase, once the gate is in motion, significantly less force is usually required to move it.

+ Gate size: Gate size is a very important factor. Wind can brake or distort the gate, thereby increasing the amount of force needed to move it considerably.

Gate weight: The weight of the gate in not as relevant as the size.

Effect of temperature: Low outdoor temperatures can make initial startup more difficult (changes in the ground, etc.) or even prevent it. High outdoor temperatures along with frequent use can trigger thermal protection prematurely (approx. 135 °C).

Operating frequency/operating time: Drive mechanisms are designed for a maximum operating time (running time) of approximately 30% (e.g. 30% during any one hour). IMPORTANT: The drive mechanism is not designed to operate continuously at its maximum operating time (non- stop operation). Otherwise the drive mechanism becomes too hot and switches off until it cools down to the switch-on temperature. The outdoor temperature and the gate are important parameters that affect the actual operating time.

INSTALLATION CHECKLIST - PREPARATIONS Check the carton contents and read the instructions carefully. Make sure your gate equipment operates perfectly. The gate must run evenly and smoothly and must not stick at any point. Remember that the ground level may be several centimeters higher in winter. The gate must be stable and as free of backlash in order to prevent any unwanted movement. The more smoothly the gate wing runs, the more sensitive the force adjustment must be.

Write down any materials you still need and obtain them before starting to install. Heavy-duty plugs, bolts, gate stops, cables, distribution boxes, tools, etc.

GATE TYPES The gate type determines the location where the drive mechanism is installed. If the gate stop is on the ground, the drive mechanism must also be installed at a height that is as low as possible so that it cannot twist the gate. Use only parts of the gate frame for fixing purposes.

For steel gates, the gate fitting must be attached to the main frame. lf you are uncertain whether the available support is sufficiently stable, reinforce it.

In the case of wooden gates, the gate fitting must be bolted through. It is advisable to fit a plate from the outside so that the fixing brackets cannot become loose over time. Thin wooden gates must also be reinforced in order to withstand the stresses encountered.

GATE CONFIGURATION How far must the gate wing open?

90 degrees or up to 115 degrees. An opening angle in excess of 115 degrees is possible but is not recommended. Reason: the drive mechanism always runs at the same speed. The further the gate has to be opened, the faster the wing must travel. Movement becomes more erratic and this subjects the fittings and gate to extreme stresses. Different opening angles cause one motor to reach its destination first, but continues to run, thereby forcing the gate up against the gate stop until the other motor eventually reaches its end position.

GATE STOPS A SWING GATE NEEDS A FIXED GATE STOP IN BOTH THE OPEN AND CLOSE POSITIONS. Gate stops save wear and tear on the motor, gate and fittings. Operating a gate without fixed limit stops results in poor performance. It is often dangerous, leads to premature wear and voids your warranty!

POST FIXING BRACKET Choosing the correct location for the post fixing bracket has a decisive impact on the subsequent functioning of the system. It determines the distance between the motors centre of motion and the gate's centre of motion and hence the opening angle. These dimensions are referred to as dimension A and dimension B. Do not underestimate the effect that these dimensions have on correct functioning and running. Try to achieve the best possible dimension for your opening angle that is suitable for all circumstances. See Table for dimensions A/B.

If the post is not wide enough, an extension piece must be fitted to it. If the post is too thick, cut out part of it to make it thinner or offset the gate.

To obtain ideal dimensions, it may be necessary to shorten or lengthen the supplied hinge plate. In the case of gates that are to be custom made, if the gate hinges are fitted on the posts appropriately, it is possible to influence dimensions A and B. Before the final mounting dimensions are determined, you should always check whether or not there is any possibility that the corner of the drive mechanism will hit the post as the gate swings.

INSTALLATION: The drive mechanism exerts considerable force against the post. Usually, acceptable mounting dimensions are obtained if the supplied hinge plate is welded directly onto the post. In the case of thick stone or concrete posts, the hinge must be welded to a base plate and attached so that the plugs cannot work loose during operation. Heavy-duty plugs where a threaded rod is bonded into the masonry stress-free are more suitable for this purpose than steel or plastic straddling plugs. In the case of brickwork pillars, bolt a relatively large steel plate that covers several bricks on to it and then weld the hinge plate to it. An angled plate attached over the corner of the post is also a good means of fixing the operators.

GATE FITTING The gate fitting must be installed so that it is horizontal relative to the post bracket. The distance between the gate bracket and post bracket is referred to as the “arm span". When the gate is closed, the drive mechanism is 99% extended. When the gate is opened, the drive mechanism is 1% extended. Fully retracting or extending the plunger/spindle in operation (with gate) damages the drive mechanism and voids the warranty. It is absolutely imperative to comply with the required arm span under all circumstances!

For steel gates, fixings should be welded on or through bolted. When through bolting the gate, use large washers or a plate on the other side. The drive mechanism exerts an extremely high force on this joint.

Fixings must be through bolted for wooden gates. lt is recommended that metal plates be fitted on either side of the gate, to prevent the fixings from becoming loose. (i.e. Type 2F)

RELEASE The drive mechanism can be released. The gate can then be opened and operated manually (power failure). With a new drive mechanism, the release action may sometimes feel stiff/jerky. This is normal and has no effect on function.

Place the hexagonal key into the hole provided in the cover. Engage or disengage the motor.

INSTALLING THE DRIVE ARMS Release the drive. Push the released drive onto the ittings and secure it by using the supplied bolts and rings.

WIRING The 3-pole connecting cable is approx. 80 cm long and is laid in a curve to the controller or a watertight distribution box located above ground. An approved cable is permanently installed from the distribution box onwards. The capacitor can be connected inside the distribution box or in the controller. Connection: Connect the capacitor across terminals CL and OP. CL and COM produce rotation direction A. OP and COM produce reversed direction of rotation. Always remember to earth the installation.

MAINTENANCE WORK The drive mechanism is maintenance free. Check that the gate fittings and the drive mechanism are securely fixed at regular intervals (monthly). Release the drive and check that the gate functions properly. Unless the gate runs smoothly it will not operate correctly with the drive mechanism. The drive cannot eliminate the problems caused by a gate that does not work satisfactorily.
