BASE PLATE
Select and mark the mounting height on the pier.
Finding the right mounting position. Mount the drive on the pier and
attach it to the gate. The drive exerts a great amount of force on the
pier. A steel pier will provide the most stability. Welding the supplied
hinge plate directly on to the pier will generally provide enough room
for mount. In the case of thick brick or concrete pillars, the hinge
plate should be welded onto a support plate, that is mounted in such
a way that the plugs cannot work loose. Adhesive shear connectors
are better than steel or plastic wedge anchors for this purpose. A
threaded rod is then mounted into the masonry with a stress free
adhesive seal. A watertight distribution unit should be mounted on
the pier next to the hinge plate. The feed cable for the wing gate
opener is led into this unit from underneath.
GATE FITTING
With steel gate the fastenings should either be welded on or drilled
through completely. If drilling then attach large washers or a plate to
the back of the frame.With wooden gates the gate frame has to be
drilled through completely where the fittings are to be fastened.
Attach reinforcement plate on the outside and inside of the gate in
order to prevent wood from giving and the connection to become
loose.
Thin wooden gates without metal frame must be reinforced
additionally, as they do not withstand the strain otherwise.
Before installing the gate fitting, check if you measured the right
position for it. Adjust if needed.
Attach gate fitting with a c-clamp or mark its designated position.
To compare, open the gate to designated OPEN position.
Now finally mont gate fitting.
Mount operator and run cable the right way
Once the base plate has been mounted, the drive can then be fitted.
The drives can be used left or right without requiring conversion. For
the purposes of fitting the drive, the lock screws need to be re-
inserted and tightened up.
Several openings for the cable have been pre-punched in the base
and need only be broken through, as required. The drive must be
standing on a solid surface for the purposes of breaking the holes
through to prevent the PVC base plate from breaking. A small, flat
screwdriver should be used for breaking the holes through. For this
purpose, tap on the screwdriver handle with the palm of the hand
from the inside. Repeat this as necessary at several points on the
pre-marked circle. The pre-punched area can then be easily
removed and the strain relief supplied as standard fitted in its place.
