Note

this gate operator is designed to be used in a 

domestic application only

. If the application  

requires a higher number of operations D.A.C.E. suggest that a DuraSlide AC/ DC  or 500 SERIES type motor is used. 

CONNECTING AN EXTERNAL L.E.D. (OPTIONAL)

An external L.E.D. (light emitting diode) can be wired  to the motor in order to indicate the status of the gate at all times. The 
most common place to set the L.E.D. is in the handset of the intercom. If there is no intercom then the L.E.D. can be placed in any 
chosen location.  
The L.E.D. indications are as follows. 
Gate open …………….L.E.D. ON SOLID. 
Gate closed …………..L.E.D.  FLASH ONCE EVERY TWO SECONDS. (If mains is on) 
Gate moving ………….L.E.D. FLASHING CONTINUOUSLY  
If the gate is closed and there is no L.E.D. indication, this means that the mains power is not on and the battery is not charging, 
this means that the battery will go flat and the motor will operate until the battery is flat.
