TERMS AND DEFINITIONS USED  IN THIS MANUAL

Anti-lift device. Stops the gate being lifted off the rail. 
Auto-close. The gate will close automatically after a chosen time delay. (optional) 
Battery. 12 volt 7 amp hour battery that drives the motor. 
Collision sensing / over current. In the case of a collision with an obstacle, the gate will stop. 
Charger. Delivers a trickle charge to the battery. 
End stop. Stops gate from running off the end of the rail and causing injury. 
Foundation plate. Mechanism to anchor the motor to the ground. 
Intercom. A hand set and a gate station that allows communication between the gate and the house. (optional) 
Infra-red safety beams. Prevent gate closing on an obstruction. (optional) 
Magnet. Attaches to the gate to allow for accurate gate operation. 
Manual override. Allows the gate to be moved by hand. 
Motor. Gate operator. 
Multi-user. Allows the gate to open and will not accept any other trigger while opening. (optional) 
Party-mode. Allows the gate to stay open while auto-close is selected. (optional) 
P.C. Board. Main control board containing all the electronic components. 
Pedestrian mode. Allows the gate to open partially. (optional) 
Pinion. The main gear that drives the gate on the rack. 
Rack. Length of toothed nylon rack that attaches to the gate. 
Receiver. Radio receiver that receives a signal from the remote. 
Remote. Hand held device that sends a signal to open or close the gate. 
Transformer. Reduces 220volts to 16 volts. 
Test button / trigger. Button to operate the gate from the P.C. Board. Used during programming. 

The site should be evaluated before the installation begins.  The following items should be checked. 
1. 

Flood level. The motor should be above flood level to avoid any damage to the motor. 

2. 

The rail must be level and should be above ground level, this will assist with keeping debris out of the path of the wheels. Any 
debris lying on the rail may cause the motor to over current. 

3. 

Trees and growth. Any over grown trees and bushes should be cleared to allow the gate to operate smoothly. 

Mount the motor above the flood level or a flood proof wall must be build 
in order to retain any water from entering the motor 

The rail should be above ground level 

SITE EVALUATION

The gate must not move on its own when left in any position along the rail, if this does 
occur, the rail must be leveled before the gate is automated

.

Ensure that the rail is kept clear of all debris
