3. INSTALLATION
3.1 Preliminary Checks
Before the installation, to ensure correct working of the automation, please check the followings:
• Make sure the gate’s structure is suitable to be automated
• Check the weight, dimensions and type of the gate is appropriate to this type of automation.
• Ensure the gate is able to open and close smoothly and is free of obstacles that may cause the gate to potentially derail.
• Check the ground and all surfaces for the installation are suitable for stable and safe fixing of the gate automation.
• Make sure the installation area for the automation is wide enough to accommodate the anchor plate and the
motor can be accessed easily in the event of power cuts.
• Ensure the location where the automation is installed is not exposed to flood hazards; if in doubt raise the automation
from above ground level.
• In cases where the automation has to be installed in a vehicles path or manoeuvre area, it is recommended to
protect it against accidental damage.
• Ensure an efficient earth connection system is in place.
• Make sure the surfaces for photocells fixing areas are flat and smooth enough to allow a perfect alignment
between transmitting and receiving units. They must both directly see each other as they are not reflective.
