INTRODUCTION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Congratulations on purchasing your DURASWING gate operators. D.A.C.E has proven to be a
leader in the automation field and strives to manufacture high quality products using the latest
technology available. D.A.C.E is constantly working on upgrading their products to bring you, the
customer, a product of the highest quality. Other products manufactured include:
• Slide gate operators - SOLO; CONDO; CONDO AC/DC; COMPACT 300 & 500
• Infrared beams - DuraOptics
• Remotes & receivers - DuraTronic
• Vehicle detection loop - DuraLoop
It is recommended that an experienced gate installer is used to install your gate operator. If you intend
to install this operator yourself, please read this manual carefully before any installation begins.
It is strongly recommended that DuraOptics safety beams are used on all installations, as this re-
duces the risk of the gate closing on a pedestrian or vehicle.
It is also recommended that a theft deterrent bracket is installed to deter any tampering with the opera-
tor.
NOTE : D.A.C.E. supplies an on-board receiver with every operator. D.A.C.E. cannot guarantee the
range of the receiver due to interference or obstacles in the path of the receiver. Should more range
be required, it is recommended that an external DuraTronic receiver be used.
This automatic gate operator is NOT a security device. It is designed to make access to a premises
undemanding.
