Safety Installation Information

• READ and FOLLOW all instructions.
• The gate opener is intended for use with Class I vehicular swing gates. Class I denotes a vehicular gate opener (or system) for dwellings, garages, or parking areas. Install the gate opener only when it is appropriate for the gate’s construction and usage class.
• Gate opening system designers, installers, and users must consider the possible hazards associated with each individual application. Improperly designed, installed, or maintained systems can create risks for the user and bystander. Gate system design and installation must reduce public exposure to potential hazards. All exposed pinch points must be eliminated or guarded.
• A gate opener can create high levels of force during regular operation. Therefore, safety features must be incorporated into every installation. Specific safety features include safety sensors.
• The gate must be installed appropriately and work freely in both directions before the installation of the gate opener.
• The gate must be installed in a location so that enough clearance is provided between the gate and the adjacent structure when opening and closing to reduce the risk of entrapment. Swinging gates shall not open into public access areas.
• The opener is intended for use only on gates used for vehicles. Pedestrians must be supplied with a separate access opening. The pedestrian access opening shall be designed to promote pedestrian usage and located such that persons will not come in contact with the moving vehicular gate.

• Pedestrians should never cross the pathway of a moving gate. The gate opener is not acceptable for use on any pedestrian gate. Pedestrians must be supplied with separate access.
• For an installation utilizing non-contact sensors (safety sensors), see the product manual on the placement of non-contact sensors (safety sensors) for each type of application.

Care shall be exercised to reduce the risk of nuisance tripping, such as when a vehicle trips the safety sensor while the gate is still moving.

One or more non-contact sensors (safety sensors)shall be located where the risk of entrapment or obstruction exists, such as the perimeter reachable by moving gate or barrier.

• Never mount any device that operates the gate opener where the user can reach over, under, around, or through the gate to operate the controls. Controls must be placed at least 6’ (1.8m) from any part of the moving plate.

• Controls intended to reset an operator after 2 sequential activations of the entrapment protection device or devices must be located in line of sight of the gate, or easily accessible controls shall have a security feature to prevent unauthorized use. Never allow anyone to hang on or ride the gate during the entire gate travel.
• Each gate opener is provided with two safety warning placards. The placards are to be installed on the front and back of the gate, where they are visible. The placards may be mounted using cable ties through the four holes on each placard. All warning signs and placards must be installed where visible in the gate area.

• Contact underground utility locating companies BEFORE digging to avoid damaging gas, power, or other underground utility lines.
• Do not permit children to play on or around the gate, and keep all controls out of their reach

Dual Gate Overview

Single Gate Overview

Preparation for Installation

There are two installation types for the gate opener: Pull-to-Open and Push-to-Open.

In the push-to-open installation, the gate opens from the property. Each gate must have a push-to-open bracket (PSO part).

NOTE: Ensure the gate does not open into public areas.

The gate opener is mounted to the gate and the gate post. Both round and square posts can be used because the Post Brackets are curved. When mounting the Post Brackets, use bolts long enough to pass through the entire post. M10 x 200 bolts are included. Concrete anchors are not provided.

When mounting the Post Brackets to wooden posts, a larger-size washer or metal plate should be used between the bolts and the wooden post to ensure the stability of the fastening hardware. If the post is smaller than 6″ in diameter or square, it should be made of metal and set in cement to ensure stability.

Install the Gate Opener on the Gate

The position of the Post Bracket is significant. The following illustrations and tables are required to determine the proper mounting position for the Post Bracket. The tables show the maximum opening angle of the gate for a given A and B. For example, if A is 16cm and B is 14cm, the maximum opening angle of the gate is 110°

Pull-to-Open Installation — Gate in Closed position (Moving-Rod is extended)

• Insert the M10 x 35 bolt through the center hole of the post bracket and post pivot bracket as shown. Place a ￠10 washer, ￠10 lock washer, and M10 nut on the bottom of the bolt and hand-tighten.
• Attach the gate bracket and post bracket assembly to the opener by inserting a clevis pin. Secure the clevis pins using the hairpin clips.

• Open the release hole plug on the top of the gate opener, insert the release key, and turn the key 90° clockwise. This releases the motor and allows the push-pull rod to be manually extended and retracted. To restore regular operation, turn the key 90° counterclockwise.

• With the opener fully retracted and with the gate in the fully open position (for Pull-to-Open installation) or fully closed position (for Push-to-Open installation), place the gate opener with the Post Bracket Assembly and Gate Bracket on the gate post and the gate. Position the Post Bracket Assembly and Gate Bracket so the gate opener is level. While holding the gate opener in the level position, temporarily secure it with two.

• Ensure that there is a minimum clearance of 2.5cm between the gate and the opener and that the opener and the Post Pivot Bracket are not binding in both the gate-open and gate-closed positions. If there is not at least 2.5cm of clearance or if the opener and the Post Pivot Bracket are binding, rotate the Post Pivot Bracket and/or move the Post Bracket Assembly to obtain the minimum clearance and eliminate the binding. When the minimum clearance has been obtained and any binding has been eliminated, place the M8 x 30 bolt through the aligned holes in the Post Bracket and the post pivot bracket.

• Sign the bolt-hole point on the gate bracket and gate. Do this by placing a punch or a sign in the middle of each bolt slot on the post bracket assemblies and the gate bracket. It allows slight adjustments to the post bracket. Then, remove the post and gate brackets by removing the C-clamps.
• Drill 10.5 mm diameter holes through the post and the gate at the marked locations.

• Attach the post bracket assemblies to the gate posts by inserting M10 x 200 bolts through each post bracket assembly and the drilled holes in the gate posts. Fasten each bolt with one ￠10 washer, one ￠10 lock washer, and one ￠10 nut.
• Attach the gate brackets to each gate by inserting two M10 x 75 bolts through the gate brackets and the drilled holes. Fasten each bolt with one ￠10 lock washer and one ￠10 nut.

• Cut off any part of the bolts that extend beyond the tightened nuts.
• With the gate opener fully retracted and with the gate in the fully open position (for Pull-to-pen installation) or fully closed position (for Push-to-Open installation), attach the gate opener to the Post Bracket Assembly and the Gate Bracket by inserting a clevis pin through the gate opener and the Post Pivot Bracket and another clevis pin through the gate opener and the Gate Bracket. Secure each clevis pin with a hairpin clip.

Open the release hole plug on the top of the gate opener, insert the release key, and turn the key 90° counterclockwise. This restores normal operation.

NOTE: The control board should be set to the PULL/PUSH TO OPEN following the installation.

Mounting of the Control Box

To install the control box use the deck screws (not provided). Even though the control box is waterproof, for safety reasons and a longer service life, it is recommended to install the control box inside a
secure surface and at least 100 cm (40 inches) above the ground to avoid being flooded or buried under snow.

Insert the power cable and cable of the first gate opener through the front strain relief and into the control box by loosening the strain relief screw located in the leftmost part of the outside bottom of the control box and feeding the cables into the control box.

When the Digital Display indicates “P5”, the gate opener is on the Stall Force Adjustment.

Without a properly installed safety reversal system, the person (particularly small children) could be SERIOUSLY INJURED or KILLED by a closing gate.

• Too much force on the gate will interfere with the proper operation of the safety reversal system.
• NEVER increase force beyond the minimum amount required to close the gate.
• NEVER use force adjustments to compensate for a binding or sticking gate.
• If one control (force or travel limits) is adjusted, the other control may also need adjustment.
• After ANY adjustments are made, the safety reversal system MUST be tested. The gate MUST BE TESTED. The gate MUST reverse on contact with a rigid object.

The opener is equipped with an obstruction-sensing feature. If the gate encounters an obstruction, the opener will automatically reverse direction and stop. Based on the length and weight of the gate, it may be necessary to make force adjustments. The force adjustment should be high enough that small objects such as branches or wind will not cause nuisance interruptions, but low enough to prevent serious injury to a person or a vehicle.

a. Adjust Stall Force of Gate Opener 1

Now we adjust the stall force of gate 1

The stall force of gate opener 1 is adjusted by pressing the “INC” and “DEC” buttons respectively. TheDigital
Display will show “1”-“9”, which indicates the stall force levels. “1” means the minimum force, and“9” is the maximum force.

• Set the Automatic Closing Time

When the Digital Display indicates “PA”, the gate opener enters into the setting of automatic closing time mode. Press and release the “INC” or “DEC” button, and the Digital Display will show a “01”-“99” button, which indicates the current automatic closing time. The minimum time is 1 second, and the maximum is 99 seconds.

Each time you press and release the “INC” button, the figure increases by 1, and the timing increases by 1 second. Each time you press and release the “DEC” button, the figure decreases by 1, and the timing decreases by 1 second. When the timing is “00”, the automatic closing function is shut off, and the gate will stay open. (Factory set is 60 seconds)
Press the “FUNC” button to store the data when setting the desired automatic closing time. The Digital Display will indicate “Pb”

• Set the Period of Soft Start

When the Digital Display indicates “Pb”, the gate opener is ready for the setting period of soft start. Press the “INC” or “DEC” button to set the soft start period. There is 1-9 seconds available in setting. Press the “FUNC” button to store the data when the period is set. The Digital Display will indicate“PC”. (Factory set is 3 seconds)

• Set the Fast Running Period (FRP) to Achieve Soft Stop Function (SPP)

When the Digital Display indicates “PC,” the Fast Running Period for opening or closing the gate is adjustable by pressing the “INC” and “DEC” buttons, respectively. The soft Stop Function is achieved simultaneously. The Soft Stop means the gate opener runs slowly during the last period before the gate completely closes.

The Soft Stop Period is unavailable for direct adjustment but is available for adjusting the Fast Running Period.

There are two running speeds designed in the program, i.e., Fast Running Speed and Soft Running Speed. The Fast Running Period is adjustable from 1 to 28 seconds. The factory default setting is 15 sec. Since the GATE OPENING OR CLOSING RUNING PERIOD (GRP) = SOFT START PERIOD(STP) +FASTRUNNING PERIOD (FRP) + SOFT STOP PERIOD (SPP), the SPP could be extended by shortening the FRP when the GRP and STP are fixed. In other words, SPP = GRP–STP–FRP. Similarly, the Soft Stop Period (SPP) can be shortened through extending the Fast Running Period(FPP).

For example, when the Soft Start Period (STP) is set at 3 sec and the GRP is 23 sec, how can we get 4 sec of Soft Stop Period (SPP) to meet the requirement? The answer is clear: We may set the Fast Running Period(FRP) at 16 sec (23 – 3 – 4 =16 sec).

• Return to Factory Set

When the Digital Display indicates “Pd,” press and release the “INC” or “DEC” button. All data will return to factory settings; the Digital Display will indicate “dF.”

• If all of the data is set and no other change is needed, press the “FUNC” Button. “- -” appears on the Digital Display, and the opener enters standby mode.

Indicate Illustration on the Digital Display When the Gate Opener is Running

The left image on the Digital Display symbolizes the motor of the gate opener 2 when the gate opener is running. The right image on the Digital Display symbolizes the motor of gate opener 1. When the motor is run to the gate-open or gate-close direction, the image on the Digital Display indicates“n” or “u” respectively. When the motor is not running, the Digital Display indicates “- -”

Adjusting the Limit Switch

The position of Limit Switch A was fixed in the factory; do not adjust it again. Plug on the power to running gate opener, use a screwdriver to loose the screw of Limit Switch B, slide Limit Switch B to the desired closed positionandfixit.

With the gate in its open position, press and release the remote control, and the gate will move to the programmed closing position and stop.

While the gate is moving, press and release the remote control, and the gate will stop driving immediately. The next command from the remote will reverse the gate direction, and the gate will stop at its programmed opening/closing position.

The gate will stop in case of obstruction during opening. The command from the remote control will reverse the gate direction, and the gate will stop at its programmed closing position. In case of obstruction or stall force during closing, the gate will reverse and move to the programmed opening position.

NOTE: The Obstruction Sensitivity /Stall Force is adjustable in 9 levels.

Dual Swing Gate Opener Maintenance

Warning: Disconnect power before servicing.

1. Wipe the gate opener shaft using a clean, dry cloth, and then apply a silicone spray to reduce its friction. In cold climates where temperatures reach 1°C (30°F) or less, spray silicone on the actuator every 4- 6 weeks to prevent up.
2. Regularly check gate hinges to ensure the gate is swinging smoothly and freely. Grease hinges if needed.
3. Check your installation periodically, as hardware and posts will shift. Brackets may need to be adjusted, or hardware may need to be tightened.
4. Maintain the area around your gate. Keep the areas free of objects that can prevent the gate swingingfreely.

NOTES:

1. Inspection and service should always be performed anytime a malfunction is observed or suspected.
2. It is suggested that voltage readings be taken at the operator while at the site. Using a Digital Voltmeter, verify that the incoming voltage to the opener is within ten percent of the opener’s rating.
3. Refer to Page 21 for instructions on how to check gate force and sensitivity adjustments.
