This document is a user manual for the GATEXPERT SW400DC Swing Gate Opener. It provides comprehensive instructions for installation, wiring, debugging, settings, and maintenance of the device.
Function Description:
The GATEXPERT SW400DC is a swing gate opener designed for single-leaf gates. It operates using a worm and worm gear drive system combined with screw rod transmission. The opener is intended for installation inside an enclosure or yard for protection. It supports both single and dual gate configurations, with various operational modes including standard open/close/stop, automatic closing, and a community mode that manages gate commands and automatic closing behavior. The system incorporates safety features such as obstacle sensitivity adjustment and the recommendation for an infrared protection switch to prevent injuries and property damage. It also includes options for external accessories like electric locks, alarm lamps, and wireless keypads. The control board allows for digital screen monitoring of the gate's working state and offers extensive customization through base and advanced menus.

Usage Features:
The SW400DC offers a range of features to enhance usability and control:
- Travel Setting: A crucial initial setup step where the installer defines open and closed limit switch positions. This involves a sequence of automatic gate movements (closing, opening, then closing again) to calibrate the travel.
- Trimmer Settings:
- Obstacle Sensibility Trimmer (FORCE): Adjusts the gate's sensitivity to obstacles. Clockwise increases sensitivity, counter-clockwise reduces it. This can be fine-tuned based on environmental factors like heavy winds.
- Slow Speed Distance Trimmer (SLOW DOWN): Controls the distance over which the gate operates at a slower speed. Clockwise increases this distance, counter-clockwise decreases it.
- Gate Moving Speed Trimmer (SPEED): Adjusts the overall opening and closing speed of the gate. Clockwise accelerates, counter-clockwise slows down. This adjustment must be completed before travel setting.
- Remote Control Learning: The system supports learning up to 20 remote controls. A simple process involving pressing the "+" button on the control board and then the desired button on the remote. Default mode for new remotes is two swing gates single channel.
- Remote Control Deletion: Individual or all paired remote controls can be deleted through the digital screen menu.
- Control Board Settings (Base Menu):
- Working Mode (NE): Offers Standard (Open/Close/Stop), Automatic Closing, and Community modes.
- Standard Mode: Basic open, close, stop functionality.
- Automatic Closing Mode: Gate automatically closes after a set time. Sending a "close" command during the waiting time cancels automatic closing.
- Community Mode: Gate commands are not responded to until it closes automatically. Sending a command during closing reopens the gate. If the gate fails to close completely three times consecutively, automatic closing is canceled, and the gate must be closed by re-sending the command. Automatic closing still functions when meeting obstacles.
- Single Gate/Dual Gates Switch (SP): Configures the system for single or dual gate operation.
- Open Gate Time Interval (OH): Sets the delay between the opening of two gates in a dual gate setup (0-15 seconds, default 3 seconds). If less than 2 seconds, the electric lock cannot be used.
- Automatic Closing Time (CH): Sets the delay before automatic closing (default 15 seconds, options for 30, 60, 90 seconds).
- Remote Control Mode (AE): Allows selection of dual gates single channel, four channel, or single gate single channel modes for remote controls, and also provides the option to delete remotes.
- Control Board Settings (Advanced Menu):
- Travel Time Adjustment (TL): Allows manual adjustment of gate 1 and gate 2 travel times, particularly for deceleration distance, if automatic learning is not ideal.
- Photo Sensor (PH): Configures the photo sensor as normally open (N/O) or normally closed (N/C). Default is N/C.
- Electric Lock (EL): Sets the electric lock to normally on or normally off. Default is normally on.
- Alarm Lamp (PA): Configures the alarm lamp to be normally on or to flash, and specifies 24V power supply. Default is normally on with 24V power.
- Low Consumption Mode (LC): Enables or disables low power consumption mode. When enabled, the control board enters low-consumption mode after one minute of inactivity on the initial screen. Default is on.
- Limit Switch Mode (LP): Selects between "Stop block" (default) and "Hall sensor" for limit switch detection.
- Gate Opener Selection (Nd): Allows selection of the specific gate opener model (SW400DC, SW300DC, SW200DC). Default is SW400DC.
- Factory Default Setting (FP): Provides options to cancel or complete a factory default reset.
- Digital Screen Monitoring: The control board's digital screen displays the gate opener's working state, including "no input," "under opening state," "under closing state," "error," "manual mode," and "travel setting."
Maintenance Features:
- Regular Checks: It is recommended to check the gate's normal operation every month.
- Safety Inspection: Regular inspection is required, and each gate is suggested to be equipped with an infrared protector for safety.
- Troubleshooting Guide: The manual includes a comprehensive troubleshooting section that lists common problems, possible reasons, and solutions, covering issues like power failure, gate not opening/closing, remote control malfunction, motor noise, leakage switch trips, short remote control working distance, and gate stopping/reversing mid-travel. Solutions include checking power supply, fuses, wiring, photocell connections, obstacle sensitivity, remote control battery, and adjusting motor/gate.
- Instruction Changes: The manufacturer reserves the right to change instructions without prior notice.
