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 easier the gate movement the less power is needed by the motor.

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.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN: The HC624 is suitable for use with wide pillars, up to about 29cm in width. Width of doorwing must comply with chart. The maximum recommended opening angle of the gate is 105 degrees. Ensure that ample space is available next to the drive for the arms and assembly. Gates exposed to a high wind load must be fixed with an electric lock for additional protection. Gate stops must be installed There are many important factors when deciding on the correct motor. Assuming a well functioning gate, the initial force is the most difficult moment. When the gate is moving it generally requires a considerably smaller amount of force.

Gate Size: Gate size is an important factor. Wind can slow down gate or distort it, leading to higher amount of required force.

Gate weight: Specification of gate weight represents only a rough parameter, which can vary according to actual demand. Operation is important.

Influence of temperature: Low outdoor temperatures can impede or even prevent starting torque (ground deformation etc.). High outdoor temperatures can lead to premature initiation of temperature protection (approx. 135^ )

Attention: Motors are not designed to run continuously (continuous operation). The motor warms up and can reach a temperature at which it shuts down until operating temperature is reached again. Outside temperature and gate represent important parameters for actual operating duration.

GATE TYPES

The location of the motor installation depends on the type of gate. If the gate stop is on the floor the motor should also be installed as low as possible in order for the gate not to be distorted. Only use frame elements for fastening. With steel gates the fittings should be fastened to the main frame. If you are not sure about the stability of the frame in question then reinforce it.

With wooden gates the frame has to be drilled through completely where the fittings are to be fastened. Attaching a plate from the outside is recommended in order to prevent fastening from becoming loose. Thin wooden gates must be reinforced additionally as they do not withstand the strain otherwise.

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!

GATE FITTING

With steel gate the fastenings should either be welded on or drilled through completely. If drilling then attach large washers or a plate to the back of the frame. With wooden gates the gate frame has to be drilled through completely where the fittings are to be fastened. Attach reinforcement plate on the outside and inside of the gate in order to prevent wood from giving and the connection to become loose.

Thin wooden gates without metal frame must be reinforced additionally, as they do not withstand the strain otherwise. Before installing the gate fitting, check if you measured the right position for it. Adjust if needed.

Attach gate fitting with a c-clamp or mark its designated position. To compare, open the gate to designated OPEN position. Now finally mont gate fitting.

CHAMBERLAIN HC624ML - GATE FITTING - 1

BASE PLATE

Select and mark the mounting height on the pier. Finding the right mounting position. Mount the drive on the pier and attach it to the gate. The drive exerts a great amount of force on the pier. A steel pier will provide the most stability. Welding the supplied hinge plate directly on to the pier will generally provide enough room for mount. In the case of thick brick or concrete pillars, the hinge plate should be welded onto a support plate, that is mounted in such a way that the plugs cannot work loose. Adhesive shear connectors are better than steel or plastic wedge anchors for this purpose. A threaded rod is then mounted into the masonry with a stress free adhesive seal. A watertight distribution unit should be mounted on the pier next to the hinge plate. The feed cable for the wing gate opener is led into this unit from underneath.

CHAMBERLAIN HC624ML - BASE PLATE - 1

Mount operator and run cable the right way

Once the base plate has been mounted, the drive can then be fitted. The drives can be used left or right without requiring conversion. For the purposes of fitting the drive, the lock screws need to be re-inserted and tightened up.

CHAMBERLAIN HC624ML - Mount operator and run cable the right way - 1

Several openings for the cable have been pre-punched in the base and need only be broken through, as required. The drive must be standing on a solid surface for the purposes of breaking the holes through to prevent the PVC base plate from breaking. A small, flat screwdriver should be used for breaking the holes through. For this purpose, tap on the screwdriver handle with the palm of the hand from the inside. Repeat this as necessary at several points on the pre-marked circle. The pre-punched area can then be easily removed and the strain relief supplied as standard fitted in its place.

The release lock for the casing is located under the rubber waterproof cover. Use the socket spanner supplied in the hardware bag to lift the cover up. The release key located beneath the hood should be inserted into the side openings and turned approx. 180 degrees until it cannot turn any further. The drive has now been released. To reengage it, the key should be turned back to its original position.

Take care when unlatching the drive for manual operation. The door leaf can move in an uncontrolled way, especially if it is defective and not properly balanced.

Before initial operation check if operator does not come in contact with the gate in the fully OPEN position.

The control board complies with the latest EU

guidelines. One of these guidelines specifies that the

closing forces at the gate edge must not exceed 400N (40 kg) for the last 500 mm before the door is CLOSED. Above 500 mm, the maximum force at the gate edge must not exceed 1400 N (140 kg). If this cannot be ensured, a contact strip must be mounted on the gate at a height up to 2.5 m or on the pillar on the opposite side (EN12453).

Note: The listed accessories on page 2 are especially suited for the professional installation of a gate system.

  • depending on model resp. available as optional accessory

PREPARING THE CONTROL BOX

Open the 4 pre-cut holes at the bottom of the casing with a screwdriver or a similar device.

Attach large cable bushing on the left then the rest as shown in picture.

Humidity and water destroy the control. All openings and cable bushings must be sealed against water (waterproof). The control box with the motor control is to be mounted with the cable bushings facing down.

A. Fasten control box of casing to wall, after previously measuring required distances and establishing correct position of drill-holes. (Hardware not included)
B. Fasten baseplate for transformer in casing. (Screws 3.5 × 9.5 ~mm )
C. Fasten transformer on to baseplate; do this using 4 screws (Screws 3.5 × 9.5 ~mm ). On the right hand side of transformer there is sufficient space for a second transformer (Screws 3.5 × 9.5 ~mm ), which can control locking of a 12Volts E Lock. (accessories).

Attach short earthing cable (yellow/green) to the plate using a screw and a washer.

D. Attach logic board underneath baseplate; do this using 5 screws and fasten in the box at the marked positions. Before that pull all plug ins from their sockets. A small bag contains jumpers for the control. These might be needed later on individual settings in the controls' programming. (refer to JUMPERS)

Put the 4 large closure screws of the box through cover of the box. Fasten 2 of them (left or right) approx 2cm into the box. After that the cover may be opened to the side.

Close box on a trial basis turning the screws all the way in. If the lid does not close completely, then the box is not fitted to the wall evenly and is therefore distorted. This must be corrected. It is very important for the box to be waterproof once closed.

PHOTOCELLS (OPTIONAL)

The photocells are for safeguarding the gate and must be used. The fitting location depends on the gate's design. EN12453 specifies that a pair of photocells must be installed at a height of 200mm and activated to "Close". The photocells consist of a transmitter and a receiver and must be opposite each other. The photocell is mounted on the wall using small screws and wall plugs. To enable the "Automatic Closing" function, the Chamberlain fails safe photocell must be installed. The Chamberlain fails safe system (2-cable system) has small LEDs (light) that can be seen from the outside on both sides to indicate the status of the photocell.

Diagnosis at the Chamberlain fails safe photocell

LED constant = OK

LED flashes = photocell disables control board

LED off = no current, incorrect connection or polarity

Diagnosis on the control board

LED off = OK no photocell connected

LED on constantly = OK

RADIO

There are two small cartons. One of the cartons contains the receiver, which stores remote control codes. The other one contains the radio module, which receives the radio signal.

  1. connect the smaller radio module with the receiver Make sure all pins are properly engaged
  2. connect the receiver with the control board Antenna: The receiver includes a short antenna. It should not come in contact with any cable and should not be rolled up. It is possible to install an external antenna which enlarges the operating distance of the remote control (optional accessory).

PROGRAM / DELETE REMOTE CONTROLS

The receiver has two channels CH1 and CH2. Using the different channels enables the opening of one wing resp. both wings. For example, if CH1 receives the code from the remote control only one wing will open. Choosing a different button on the remote control in combination with CH2 will cause both wings to open.

In order to store a code press a previously selected button on the remote control while simultaneously pressing the learn Buttons CH1 or CH2 of the receiver. Repeat for all remote controls.

A maximum of 12 remote controls can be programmed to each channel.

Note: Make sure not to pogramm the same remote button to CH1 and CH2, otherwise the gate may work improperly. Redo programming if required.

DELETE

Press learn Buttons (CH1 or CH2) for approx. 10 seconds until LED goes out. All codes programmed to this channel are deleted.

  1. Press buttons P1, P2 and P3 simultaneously for approx. 2-3 seconds until yellow LED flashes.
  2. Monitor the gate. Press and hold P1 for 1-2 seconds. The wing with motor 1 opens. If motor 1 closes, it is wired incorrectly and the red and blue wires of the motor cable must be inverted. (Caution: Disconnect Power!) Repeat steps 1 and 2. Leave gate/s in partially open position.

NOTE: General operation – if you release the button, the gate will immediately stop. By pressing the button again the gate will move in the opposite direction until you release the button, and so on.
3. Press and hold P2 for 1-2 seconds. The wing with motor 2 must open. (Do not open gate completely, only short distances.) If motor 2 closes, it is wired incorrectly and the red and blue wires of the motor cable must be inverted.

(Caution: Disconnect Power!)

Repeat steps 1 and 2. Leave gate/s in partially open position.

NOTE: The control board is active for this manual setting mode for approx. 20 seconds. If necessary, start again by pressing P1, P2 and P3 simultaneously.

Now check the following:

  1. If both operators connected open both wings completely.
  2. Both wings must open completely. Do not open the wings too far! A gate stop in OPEN position is required.
    Caution: Gate must not come in contact with operator (i.e. when operator has been released for manual operation) Wait until learn-LED goes out (20 seconds after a button was pressed).

PROGRAMMING TRAVEL DISTANCES "SIMPLE I"

NOTE: only with stops in OPEN and CLOSE position

  1. Wings must be closed
  2. Press P1 until wing / motor 1 starts opening (learn-LED flashes resp. glows)

Automatic programming starts (slow travel)

Wing 1 moves to the stop in OPEN position

Wing 2 moves to the stop in OPEN position

Then wing 2 moves to the stop in CLOSE position.

Then wing 1 moves to the stop in CLOSE position.

When the learn-LED goes out the programming has finished.

PROGRAMMING TRAVEL DISTANCES "ADVANCED"

NOTE: In this mode P1 must be pressed 9 times. With every time the button is pressed a position (time) is stored. (This allows programming of SOFT-STOP (slow travel) in order to adjust to application. Long or short phases of SOFT-STOP are possible.

  1. Both wings must be closed.
  2. Press P1 and P2 for approx.5-6 seconds until wing / motor 1 starts opening. Release buttons!!!
  3. Press P1 again. SOFT-STOP for wing / motor 1 in OPEN direction starts at this point.
  4. Press P1 again when OPEN position is reached.Now wing / motor 2 starts automatically to open.
  5. Press P1 again. SOFT-STOP for wing / motor 2 in OPEN direction begins at this point.
  6. Press P1 again when OPEN position is reached. Now wing / motor 2 starts closing automatically.
  7. Press P1 again. SOFT-STOP for wing / motor 2 in CLOSE direction begins at this point.
  8. Press P1 again when CLOSE position is reached. Now wing / motor 1 starts automatically to close.
  9. Press P1 again. SOFT-STOP for wing / motor 1 in CLOSE direction begins at this point.
  10. Press P1 again when CLOSE position is reached. Done!

NOTE: If one wing reaches a stop and button P1 is not pressed, then the motor moves towards the stop and stores this position automatically.

COMPLETION OF INSTALLATION / PROGRAMMING

Once the travel distances are programmed, the remote controls can be programmed as well.

(Refer to PROGRAMM / DELETE REMOTE CONTROLS).

  1. Operate the gate with a remote control or with a connected switch and monitor the direction. Close the gate again WITHOUT any interruptions.
  2. If all adjustments are done, check operation of photocells, switch, flashing light, remotes, accessories, etc.
  3. Advise people using the gate with regard to gate operation, safety functions and how to release the gate in order to operate it manually.

TIMER TO CLOSE

NOTE: Only possible with connected photocells (1 + COM). Time frames from 2 seconds up to 120 seconds are possible.

Activate:

  1. Press and hold P2 until yellow LED starts flashing
  2. Now count the time you wish to program
  3. Press P2 again. Done!

Deactivate:

  1. Press and hold P2 until yellow LED starts flashing.
  2. Press P3. Yellow LED goes out. Done!

TORQUE OF MOTOR

Thrust of the motor is set automatically while programming the travel distance. Thrust can only be modified by programming the travel distance again. If gate movement is impeded by weather or changes to the installation (rust or inappropriate lubrication) it may have to be repaired.

The control board complies with the latest EU guidelines. One of these guidelines specifies that the closing forces at the gate edge must not exceed 400N (40 kg) for the last 500 mm before the door is CLOSED. Above 500 mm, the maximum force at the gate edge must not exceed 1400 N (140 kg). If this cannot be ensured, a contact strip must be mounted on the gate at a height up to 2.5 m or on the pillar on the opposite side (EN12453).

FAQs

The gate opener doesn't respond at all; no LED is on.Possibly power failure.1. Check conductor and zero conductor. 2. Check house fusing.
Immediately after the gate has started moving, it stops and reverses.Obstacle in area of gate.Check area of gate for objects If there is no obstacle, make another initial operation to ensure the force will be learned again.
The gate opener does not open the gate fully.1. Are the post dimensions A+B correct? 2. Has the travel of the controller been set correctly?1. Check A+B dimensions. 2. Reprogram if required

The remote control's range is too short.The installation of an external aerial is recommended as the controller with the short cable aerial is located either behind the post or near ground level in most cases. The optimum location of the aerial is as high as possible in all cases. An appropriate aerial with installation kit can be obtained from Chamberlain as an accessory with the product ref. no. ANT4X-1LM.
The gate must follow a slope.Not recommended! Change gate! The gate can move in an uncontrolled (dangerous) manner if the gate opener has been released. A stronger force is needed in the upwards direction of the slope and then, in the opposite direction, the gate opener's force is too strong.

The gate post is so thick that I am unable to comply with the requisite A+B dimensions.
Reduce post thickness or shift gate location.
