Check the following items before installing the operator:
INTRODUCTION & RECOMMENDATIONS
We strongly recommended using the services of an experienced gate installer to install your gate operator but if you
intend installing the operator yourself, the manual must be read carefully before any installation begins.
While you have taken all reasonable steps to ensure that your gate operator is safe to install and use, it must be noted
that your gate is a heavy moving piece of equipment and can cause serious damage or injury if it strikes an object
or person. Your gate operator has a built in electronic collision sensing which will make the gate stop and reopen if it
strikes an object. This does mean however, that the gate will actually strike the object before it stops. It is because of
this that we strongly recommended that ‘Safety Beams’ are installed to reduce the risk of the gate
striking an object. The installation of beams does not guarantee that the moving gate will not strike an object in it’s
path.
• That the rail is level – the gate must not move on its own at any stage.
• That the wheels are turning freely and are not jammed.
• That the gate is not bent or bowed in any way.
• That the rail has sufcient end stops so that the gate can never run of the end of the rail.
• That the gate setup is constructed in such a way that the gate can not fall over.
• That the top rollers are turning freely and are not jammed.
• That the gate does not jam in the catch bracket when closing or opening.
• The gate must not exceed the maximum number of operations stated in the specications.
• Extreme care should be taken when automating a gate that is fully cladded, as wind resistance can cause the gate to
not close properly.
Only when all the above points are satisfactory should you go ahead with installing the gate operator. Remember, if a
gate causes damage or injury the installer of the equipment may be held liable.
DO NOT CONNECT MAINS VOLTAGE DIRECTLY TO THE CONTROLLER
DO NOT CUT THE PLUG OF THE TRANSFORMER AND HARDWIRE
EITHER OF THESE MAY CAUSE YOU TO VOID YOUR WARRANTY
• Electrical shock can occur while installing this equipment
• Injury or death by electrocution may lead to law suits against the installer/homeowner.
• All wiring should be run in conduit.
• Do not open, tamper or modify any of the electronic components of this equipment in any way.
• Do not attempt to repair the equipment, this should only be done by a qualied technician.
• We will not be held liable for any accident / incident resulting in damage, injury or death ensuing from the incorrect
installation of the automatic gate operator.
• Although these operators have built-in collision sensing, substaintial damage can still occur. For this reason ‘Safety
Beams’ should be used on all installations.
• Do not allow children to play near or with any gate, gate operator or remote control.
• It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that the gate is in good working condition before automating the gate.
• We cannot be held responsible for a gate bumping either of the ends stops if it runs on a slope.
• Do not operate the gate unless within direct sight of the gate.
• A gate is a heavy piece of equipment and injury, even death, may occur due to incorrect installation or operation of
the equipment. There are a number of areas that may cause entrapment which could lead to injury.
