gate post bracket gate bracket Installer's Notes Hint : It s best to locate the gate opener arms in approximately the middle between the top and bottom of the gate. This will prevent the gate from twisting or flexing and provide a more even pull and push over the entire gate. Gates up to 3.6mtrs - actuator arm can be mounted at either bottom or middle position Gates over 3.6 up to 4.2mtrs - MUST have actuator arm mounted in the middle position Pull-to-Open and Push-to-Open (terminology) extended opened and insects control Hint: We recommend that the mounting points be lower than the D1 control board, so that in the unlikely event that water seeps in, it will not flow onto the D1 board. n Before you install the automatic arms to your gate, ensure that the gate is properly constructed and must be leveled. The hinge bearings must be in good condition and gate swings smoothly for both opening and closing. Tight spots in opening and/or closing suggest that the hinge bearings are worn and need to be rectified before you install the automatic system. The gate must not hit or drag across the ground or be fitted with a wheel. A properly leveled gate (vertical and horizontal) will not have tendency to self-open or self-close and remain stationery. A self-opening or self-closing gate suggests that the gate is not leveled. This will cause accelerated wear to your automatic gate system. Level the gate properly before installing the automatic gate system. Double - close the gates to full-close position and install the gate stopper. Installing the gate stopper allows for the automatic arm to push the gate firmly against the ground stopper to ensure a solid close and proper alignment between the left and right leafs of the gate. Single - have the gate close onto the post or install the gate stop onto the post for the gate to strike against. You can install another gate stopper at the full-open position, or you may choose to let the gate swing till it is stopped by the internal built-in stop mechanism when the arm is fully retracted (pull-to-open position) or fully extended (push-to-open position). Installing a gate stop at the full-open position with a firm push will prevent the gate from swaying or moving in moderately windy condition.

Single gate setup Double gate setup Gate Lock INSTALLING THE GATE POST BRACKET WITH THE CARDBOARD ARMS TEMPLATE Gate Post Brackets The position of the is crucial to the success of your installation and attention needs to be paid to both its correct height and its position on the post in respect to the relationship between your hinge pivot point and the motor pivot point on the bracket. Once you have determined the general desired height of the motor, position the bracket and take note of the dimensions. In a standard installation the basic aim is to get the J and K dimensions to be as close as possible to equal but J can be greater allowing for a more positive push of the gate against gate stop. Hint: The dimension of BOTH J and K for a standard installation is approximately For 300mm Arm J ~ 150 mm - 170mm K ~ 150 mm - 170mm For 400mm Arm J ~ 200 mm K ~ 200 mm This dimension is a good initial position to place the template. J For 500mm Arm J ~ 250 mm K ~ 250 mm K Using the The bracket installation guide is a template of the arms in Full-Open and Full- Close positions, measured between the arm mounting pin centers. This is an easy way to determine the best position to drill your bracket mounting points and take the guess work out of installation. (Clamping your brackets first is always recommended) You may need to change the bracket or design a new one that best suits your automation application. The template is simply 2 x card board strips with a screw joining the 2 together. Each arm guide has a mark measured from the screw. The screw represents the position of the gate post bracket pivot. The outer line marked on the bracket guide represents the position of the gate bracket pivot. Short template Arm fully retracted Long template Arm fully extended

It is important not have the arm installed at the absolute maximum extended position (gate closed position) due to the need to create direct force against the gate stop in the center of the driveway. Note: The following installation is based on the gate being a "pull-to-open" setup. ONLY READ IF YOU HAVE A PUSH-TO-OPEN GATE For "push-to-open" setup you need to reverse the following instructions. You may also need a longer secondary bracket for push-to-open setup if the gate pillar dimension is too large. "Push-to-open" Position the template on the ground approximately where the arm is to be installed with the long length at the fully open position and the short length at the fully closed position. OPEN the gate to the fully open position and place a length of white tape to the gate roughly where the gate bracket maybe positioned. Close the gate to the gate stop and compare the short template mark with the mark on the white tape that was done in the open position. Check that the gate mark is about 10mm LESS then the mark on the template. This is to ensure the gate will have a solid push onto the gate stopper in the closed position Template for Arm Fully Retracted and Fully Extended Step 1 Position the template on the ground approximately where the arm is to be installed with the short length in the fully open position and the long length at the fully closed position. Hint: The pivot point of template for a standard gate should be approximately (200mm x 200mm for 400mm arm) and (250mm x 250mm for 500mm arm) from the gate hinge in both the J and K direction.

LONG TEMPLATE LONG template. Gate Fully CLOSED Ensure that the Mark on the Gate is Less than the mark on the long template (more than 5 degrees) / non-parallel, It is important that in both the Full Open and Full Close positions, the arms must not be parallel to the gate. A parallel arm will not result in a turning moment to the gate causing potential damage to both gate and arms Gate should NOT be parallel with the arm You may have to move the template slightly to achieve the desired result. Hint: Open and close the gate and re check that the best position is obtained.

FLOOR RUBBER STOPPER FOR DOUBLE GATES rubber gate stop onto post GATE TABS FOR DOUBLE GATES Installing Gate Stop Double Gates Installing a floor gate stop is a good practice, to ensure proper alignment of the two leafs of the gate and for the gates to have a solid push onto the stopper in the full-closed position. Single Gates The gate should either stop onto a post in the closed position, or you can use the rubber stopper and place it onto the post allowing the gate to have a solid push in the closed position. If using the rubber stopper, make sure you place it on the same level as the actuator arm. Full-Close Position Each gate must have a positive and well secured Gate Stop. Failure to do so may result in misalignment, accelerated wear to the system and the gates hinges. Full-Open Position In full-open position, the gates can either be hard stopped by a peg / stopper, or be stopped by the internal built-in mechanism at the end of the retracted arm (Pull-to-Open gate) or fully extended arm (Push-to-Open gate). Installing gate post Brackets and the Arms for (Pull-to-Open) Assemble the gate post brackets (primary wall bracket and secondary wall bracket) by placing the secondary wall bracket between the middle gap of the primary wall bracket.

s Connection of Power Source (240Vac) 230Vac-16Vac Transformer Transformer can be relocated up to around 50m from the control box using a transformer kit or positioned inside the control box if mains power is available at the gate. In either option you MUST install transformer via a RCD to avoid injury from shock as per local government electrical requirements. Always switch off mains power when any work is being carried out on or around gate installation. Always ensure that the transformer is properly protected from water and dampness. We recommend a minimum 2.5m x 2 core TPS cable. Connect the male plug of the transformer into the power socket and connect the output cable (16Vac) onto the D1 Board Electric Connection: Refer to the separate coloured "Wiring Guide" for the step-by-step optimum way to install the control box. Connection of Power Source (Solar) The system can be solar powered via an optional solar system with 12V voltage regulator connected directly to the battery. Do NOT use both solar and mains power at the same time. Solar panel must face FULL NORTH with the recommended tilt from your wiring diagram booklet and within 10m of battery. Have a minimum of 6 hours of direct sun exposure to be effective. Solar charger unit is not weatherproof and must be located in the control panel box to protect it. 20watt Solar Panel wire colour coding: BROWN or RED wire is Positive (+) BLUE or BLACK wire is Negative (-) Solar Power Connection: Refer to the separate coloured "Wiring Guide" for the step-by-step optimum way to install the components in the control box.

Other Considerations THIS SIDE DOWN Hint: Check the LED lights above [MT A] and [MT B]. Green indicates an OPEN cycle and Red a CLOSE cycle. If the gate is physically closing when the motor LED shows open (green), then the polarity of the motor wire is reversed. To rectify, reverse the wire polarity at the control panel. see page 23 see diagram page 24 Set sthe OPEN when you first power-up the D1 Board. n 1. Unplug AC power and battery and make sure the gates are completely OPEN 2. After 30 seconds reconnect power to the system until short clicking from board can be heard 3. With the gates in the open position then power up the board 4. Press the remote once and then a second time and observe the RED Led indicating Close cycle on the D1 Board. Gates are running on slow speed. 5. If the physical gate is in closing movement but the [MT A] LED is showing Green (indicating an opening sequence), disconnect power then reverse arm wires in question and start setup again from step 1. 6.
