The APS gate closer motor is factory set to close the gate in 5 – 7 seconds. There are 2 speed control valves. The one furthest
from the pivot is for controlling the last 15 degrees of closing speed and is called the ‘Latching speed control valve’. The other
valve is for controlling the speed of the first 75 degrees of closing.
Note:
A ¼ turn can make a large difference to the speed of the gate. Do not turn screws more than 3 turns from the closed
position, if in doubt close off valves and start again.
Turning the screw passed this point will result in oil loss. This
will cause the mechanism to fail, thus invalidating all warranties
Gate not closing fully:
If the closer comes to its rest point before the gate is fully closed, release 2 x M10 nuts on bracket
below closer, shut the gate and re-tighten the M10 nuts
1. Using the key provided, turn both screws in until they stop turning. Be careful not to over tighten them once they have
reached the limit of travel. Both valves are now closed and the gate will now not close or open
2. Now undo the valve nearest the pivot 1 – 2 turns. This should result in the gate moving through the first 75 degrees of
closing in about 6 seconds
3. Next release the latching speed control valve 1 – 2 turns and the last 15 degrees of closing will take about 4 seconds
DETAILED SPEED CONTROL INSTRUCTIONS
CLOSING SPEED ADJUSTMENT
Closing speed
Final latching speed
To adjust, turn both screws clockwise
until they stop. This means the gate will
be locked into position. Then undo until
they are the correct speed ensuring they
do not turn more than 3 full turns from the
stopped position.
