7.1.1. Locating an Initial Reference Point
When installing the D5 SMART, it is important to take note of the information
found in Sections 7.1.1. and 7.1.2. when determining the position of the
Foundation Plate, and the height of the D5 SMART in relation to the gate that is
to be automated.
Once the point which protrudes the furthest has been found, this will be the
reference point to be used when finding the optimum position for the
D5 SMART.
FIGURE 9. FINDING A REFERENCE POINT
Firstly, it is necessary to establish a reference point. To do this, manually open and close
the gate so that it moves past a stationary point (i.e. a vertical spike), and determine
which part of the gate (including its wheels) protrudes the furthest towards where the
D5 SMART will be installed. Refer to the examples shown below.
Check for wheels, palisade, uprights, etc. that could potentially collide
with the pinion.
