CONNECTING AN EXTERNAL L.E.D. (OPTIONAL)
An external L.E.D. (light emitting diode) can be wired to the motor. This will indicate the status of the gate at all times.
The most common place to fit the L.E.D. is in the handset of the intercom. If there is no intercom then the L.E.D. can
be placed in any chosen location.
The L.E.D. indications are as follows.
Gate open ……………L.E.D. ON SOLID.
Gate closed …………..L.E.D. FLASH ONCE EVERY TWO SECONDS. (If mains is on)
Gate in operation……..L.E.D. FLASHING CONTINUOUSLY
If the gate is closed and there is no L.E.D. indication, this means that the mains power is off and the battery is not
charging, this means that the battery will go flat and the motor will operate until the battery is flat.

Please read these instructions before installation begins. The manufacturers have taken all reasonable steps to ensure
that the gate operator is safe to install and use. However it must be remembered that a gate is a heavy piece of moving
equipment and may cause serious dam age or injury if the gate strikes a vehicle or person. The gate operator has built
in collision sensing electronics, this means that the gate will stop and re-open if an object is struck, however this
means that the gate will phy sically strike the object before stopping. It is therefore strongly recommended that
DuraOptic infra-red safety beams are installed to reduce the risk of the gate striking an object.
Note, The installation of beams does not guarantee against the gate striking an object in its path while m oving.
Never allow children to play on or near any automation equipment.
Never operate the motor when it is out of direct sight.
WIRING REQUIREMENTS. The electrical wiring of this operator should be done with extreme care as this can
cause inj ury or even death if not done correctly .
The operator is supplied with a 220vac—16vac transformer, this transformer m ust not be tam pered with in any way
whatsoever. The transformer should be placed inside the house and then the 16vac is run to the m otor. The minimum
wire requirements for 16vac are 1.5m m three core cable. (See electrical wiring in this manual for more details)
NOTE if 220vac is run to the motor a registered electrician m ust be used to install the wiring. This is a legal require-
ment. 220vac must be run in a dedicated conduit, NO other cable may be placed in the same conduit.
ENSURE THAT the following items are checked before any installation is done.
1. The rail is level. The gate must not move on its own at any stage.
2. The wheels are turning freely and are not jammed.
3. The gate is not bent or bowed in any way .
4. The rail has sufficient end stops so that the gate can never run off the end of the rail.
5. The portal is constructed in such a way that the gate can not fall over.
6. The rollers are turning freely and are not j ammed.
7. The anti lift device is sufficient in order to stop the gate from being lifted off the rail.
8. The gate mass or start-up force do not exceed the maximum as stated in the specifications.
9. The gate does not stick or j am in the catch bracket when closing or opening.
10. Extreme care should be taken when automating a gate that is constructed out of any solid ty pe of material
such as wood, as wind resistance can cause over current problem s.
11. The gate must not exceed the maximum number of operations stated in the specifications.
If any of the above points are not satisfactory DO NOT INSTALL THE OPERATOR until all the points are rectified.
Remember that if a gate causes injury or damage due to faulty installation, the law will hold the person who installed
the m otor responsible. Please ensure that ALL of the above points are checked before installation. The installation of
the gate operator will not rectify any of the above problems. This gate operator is not a security item.
