Frequently Asked Questions - SLY300-24 CHAMBERLAIN

How to install the rack on the gate?

For optimal meshing, place the rack on the motor pinion in the unlocked position, then screw it gradually while sliding the gate. Ensure a gap of 1-2 mm between the pinion and the rack.

How to manually release the motor in case of power failure?

Use the supplied key to turn the release mechanism (see figure 6 of the manual). Then turn the release lever to disengage the pinion from the gearbox. You can then open the gate manually.

What are the end stop adjustments?

The end stop magnets are attached to the rack: magnet A (1) on the left for the open position, magnet B (2) on the right for the closed position. The switch is located in the middle of the motor. Screw them temporarily then adjust after testing.

What is the initial commissioning procedure?

After installation, release the motor and manually check the proper operation of the gate. Electrical commissioning is performed only with the provided control. Follow mechanical and electrical safety requirements.

What maintenance is required for this operator?

The drive mechanism requires no maintenance. It is recommended to check the fixing of the gate fittings and the drive once a month, and to release to check the manual movement of the gate.

What safety precautions should be taken?

Read the manual carefully. Do not let children use the remote controls. Disconnect power before any repair. Install safety devices such as photoelectric barriers. Ensure the gate is properly guided and that the end stops are in place.

What electrical cables should be used for connection?

Use cables compliant with local regulations. The power cable must be connected to a properly grounded network. Provide a disconnector to cut all poles.

Can I use this operator in very cold weather?

Yes, the temperature range is -20°C to +55°C. However, in extreme cold, startup may be more difficult; allow a power margin if necessary.

How to adjust the force of the operator?

The force is adjusted via the provided control electronics (not detailed here). Refer to the control manual. Precise adjustment is required for a gate that slides freely.

What to do if the gate does not move or gets stuck?

First check that the power is connected and that the manual release is not activated. If the gate is blocked, do not force it. Disconnect power and contact a specialist. Monthly maintenance can prevent this problem.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR ASSEMBLY AND USE

PLEASE READ THESE IMPORTANT SAFETY RULES FIRST

This safety alert symbol means "Caution" - failure to comply with such an instruction involves risk of personal injury or damage to property. Please read these warnings carefully.

This gate drive mechanism is designed and tested to offer appropriately safe service provided it is installed and operated in strict accordance with the following safety rules.

Incorrect installation and/or failure to comply with the following instructions may result in serious personal injury or property damage.

When using tools and small parts to install or carry out repair work on a gate, exercise caution and do not wear rings, watches or loose clothing.

It is important to make sure that the gate always runs smoothly. Gates which stick or jam must be repaired immediately. Employ a qualified technician to repair the gate, never attempt to repair it yourself.

Installation and wiring must be in compliance with your local building and electrical installation codes. Power cables must only be connected to a properly earthed supply.

Keep additional accessories away from children. Do not allow children to play with pushbuttons or remote controls. A gate can cause serious injuries as it closes.

Any entrapment possibility by the moving wing between wing & walls must be secured with safety edges or IR-sensors.

Disconnect electric power to the system before making repairs or removing covers.

Please remove any locks fitted to the gate in order to prevent damage to the gate.

A disconnecting device must be provided in the permanently-wired installation to guarantee all-pole disconnection by means of a switch (at least 3mm contact gap) or by a separate fuse.

After the installation a final test of the full function of the system and the full function of the safety devices must be done.

Make sure that people who install, maintain or operate the gate drive follow these instructions. Keep these instructions in a safe place so that you can refer to them quickly when you need to.

This drive cannot be used with a gate incorporating a wicket door unless the drive cannot be operated with the wicket door open.

The full protection against potential squeeze or entrappment must work direct when the drive arms are installed.

The sliding gate drive can be activated via push buttons, key-operated switches, keyless switches (radio) or remote control; once the drive has been disengaged with the appropriate key, the gate can be opened by hand. The sequence of functions initiated by a command issued via a remote control, push-button, etc. depends on how the control's electronic system has been set.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

There are many factors that are key to the choice of the right sliding gate drive. Assuming the gate is in good working order, the most difficult aspect is getting the gate to move. Once the gate is in motion, force requirements are in the main significantly reduced.

• Gate size: Gate size is a very important factor. A light yet long gate (long = +5m) needs a far greater force to set it in motion than a short, heavy gate does.

WIND CAN BRAKE A GATE'S MOVEMENT OR MAKE IT HARD TO MOVE, THUS INCREASING FORCE REQUIREMENTS SIGNIFICANTLY.

• Gate weight: Gate weight is only an approximate indicator the actual relevance of which can vary greatly. Example: A light gate that slides poorly is likely to need a stronger drive than a heavy, smooth-sliding gate.
• Temperature: Low outdoor temperatures make it difficult or, in some cases, impossible to get the gate moving due, for instance, to changes in the ground conditions. In such cases, a stronger drive again might be necessary. High outdoor temperatures can cause the thermal protection mechanism to be activated sooner.
• Operating frequency / Duty cycle: Sliding gate drives have a maximum duty cycle of approx. 30% (e.g. 30% per hour). CAUTION: The drives were not designed to be run for the maximum duty cycle on a regular basis (permanent operation). If the drive gets too hot, it switches itself off until it has cooled down to activation temperature. The outdoor temperature and the gate itself are key factors determining the drive's actual duty cycle.
• Safety: A sliding gate drive has to be fitted with a flashing lamp, contact strips and, if necessary, with additional light barriers as safety features. Please ensure that you comply with the standards and regulations relevant to your particular case.

CHECK LIST - PRE-INSTALLATION WORK 1 - 2

Prior to actual installation, please check that you have been provided with all the parts indicated within the scope of supply. 1 Make sure your gate system is in good working order.

The gate must run smoothly, not jerkily and not make contact with the ground at any point. Bear in mind that the ground can be several centimetres higher in winter. The gate needs to be stable with as little play as possible to prevent any lateral movement from occurring. The easier the gate moves, the more sensitive the force setting needs to be.

Make a note of the materials you still need and make sure you obtain them prior to installation - adhesive anchors (strong plugs), screws, stops, cable, distributor boxes, tools, etc.

OVERVIEW OF INSTALLATION

The drive has to be installed behind the wall to ensure that no part of it projects out into the gate opening. The motor has to be mounted on the flush fitted base plate. The rack bar shown has to be fitted to the gate with the fixing material supplied.

Decide which is the best height for fixing the rack bar to the gate and use this to determine the installation dimensions for the motor unit and base plate. Should the gate be unsuitable for fitting the rack bar to it, a fixing profile (angle bracket, shaped tubing, etc.) needs to be mounted first.

INSTALLATION OF DRIVE BASE PLATE

The base plate for the drive can either be concreted in or, if appropriate, welded into position. The place where the base plate is usually located is shown on the installation overview. The concrete plinth needs to be of an appropriate size (approx. 50 cm x 50 cm x 50 cm).

Please note: If it is impossible to precisely determine the height of the plinth and the distance from the gate prior to installation, it is advisable to mount the rack bars first and then concrete in the base plate. Spacers are fitted to move the rack bars approx. 40mm towards the inside.

The distance from the bottom edge of the rack bar to the base plate is approx. 8 - 9cm. The base plate permits final height and depth adjustments of several centimetres to be made, but you are advised to work as precisely as possible from the outset.

MOUNTING MOTOR AND GEAR UNIT

The drive should be fitted on to the threaded bolts in the base plate. The height should be set such that there is a gap of approx. 1 - 2mm between the cog wheel and the rack bar. The weight of the gate should not be borne by the cog wheel! Position the drive via the adjustment holes such that its location vis-à-vis the rack bar complies with the installation dimensions.

MOUNTING RACK BAR

The easiest way to fit the rack bar is to first place it on the motor's drive cog, disengage the motor and, by pushing the gate further with the rack bar, screwing the bar bit by bit firmly in position. In this way, you ensure that the rail bar engages with the cog wheel in an optimum manner. While doing this, do not forget to mark each fixing point.

DRIVE RELEASE MECHANISM (MANUAL OPERATION)

The drive is equipped with a lockable release mechanism to enable the gate to be operated manually in a power cut. The release mechanism is shown in fig. 6 with the clutch disengaging the link between the cog wheel and the gear.

To release the drive: Position the socket spanner appropriately and turn it 180 degrees. Then turn the release lever 180 degrees too. Finished.

FITTING LIMIT SWITCHES (TO GATE) 7 +10

The limit switches are assembled as shown in fig. 7A-C, 10A+B. One limit switch magnet is designated A (1) and the other B (2).

Fit the limit switches on to the rack bar in those places where the final travel positions are roughly expected to be. The magnet should point towards the motor. The switch (contact) is located in the middle of the motor. Screw the retaining clip only provisionally in place or slot it lightly on to the rack bar.

Caution: Please notice fitting of the magnets on the rack bar (fig. 10A+B)

Magnet A (1) = to the left

Magnet B (2) = to the right

Caution: A sliding gate must run in a guide rail and should not be able to leave the rail. This means end stops need to be fitted for both directions!

INITIAL OPERATION

Check gate functionality manually when the drive has been disengaged. Electrical operation is only possible with the control unit that is supplied as standard.

Electrical connections: See control unit instructions.

Always ensure that the mechanical and electrical safety requirements relevant to the given system are complied with. fig. 8

MAINTENANCE WORK

The drive mechanics are maintenance-free. Check at regular intervals (monthly) that the gate hardware and the drive are all firmly in place. Disengage the drive and check gate functionality. Only an easy-running gate will work well with a drive. A drive is no substitute for a poorly functioning gate.

A sliding gate can also be secured by implementing on-site measures (fence, wall, etc.). See fig. 9.
