It is recommended not to choose significantly different A and B values: it affects the smooth movement of
the leaf and reduces the actuator’s power usage;
- Distance A: increasing this value also increases the opening angle and therefore decreases the leaf’s thrust
while simultaneously increasing the peripheral speed.
- Distance B: increasing this value reduces the opening angle and therefore increases the thrust on
the leaf while decreasing the peripheral speed.
2.3 Position of the rear bracket on brick or block posts
a) Set the position of the rear bracket.
The A, B and C distances are in the table above.
b) Ensure that the electrical cables hole is below the
bracket (2).
c) If the manufacturer provided holes for the front
connector, attach it in the middle of the long-slotted
holes to maintain an adjustment range.
d) Make sure the rear bracket is level before attaching
it.
e) Use bolts or dowel pins to attach it to the post in the
desired position.
2.4 Position of the front connector (if the
manufacturer didn’t provide holes for the front
connector)
f) Place both halves of the gate in the
closed position. They should rest
against the mechanical limiter.
g) Place the front connector (1) at D (630
mm) distance from the rear bracket.
h) Place the front connector (1) 54 mm
lower than the rear bracket (distance
E).
i) Temporarily attach the front connector
(1) to the gate in the proper position.
j) Check if the connector is level before
securing it in place.
Max distance (D) = 650 mm
