Gate Installation Instructions

4. Magnetic Lock Installation (600 lb. Force)
a. Find the position that you want the
locks to be on the gate. On a single
gate installation the electro magnet
must be on the leading side of the
gate. (See Exception below.) The
strike must be aligned with the
electromagnet. (see figure ML1)
Mark and neatly cut the hole into
the vertical gate side. The lead
gate to close in a double drive
installation must have the electro
magnet in it.
b. Wires must be run through the
gate to the location that the
Electromagnet is to be attached.
(see figure ML2) Holes have been
drilled to route the wire. This is
easiest to accomplish prior to
hanging the gate. (see Exception)
c. Protect wires from sharp edges
with grommets or other means of
secure protection.
d. Exception -- On a single gate
installation the electromagnet can
be attached to the post where the
gate strikes. In such a situation
attach the magnet receiver on the
gate aligned with the
electromagnet on the post.
e. Run the wire supplied with the
electromagnet to the control box.
If the electromagnet is in the gate
structure, terminate the wires from
the gate as close to the hinge
location as practical. (see figure
ML3)
f. Allow plenty of wire to permit the
rotation of the gate without
binding the wire or rubbing
against sharp edges.
g. A double drive system with
magnetic lock requires the system
dipswitches to be set to sequential.
(see AF1 Dipswitch 4)
h. Be sure that the magnet receiver is
aligned with the electromagnet in
the gate.
