Using the “

Bracket Installation Guide” (template)

The

bracket installation guide

is a template of the arms in Full-Open and Full-Close

positions, measured between the arm mounting pin centres.
This is an easy way to determine the best position to drill your bracket mounting points and
take the guess work out of installation. You may need to change the bracket or design a
new one that best suits your automation application.
The

template

is simply 2 x card board strips with a screw joining the 2 together. Each arm

guide has a mark measured from the screw. The screw represents the position of the gate
post bracket pivot. The outer line marked on the

bracket guide

represents the position of

the gate bracket pivot.

Short template –

Arm fully retracted

Long template –

Arm fully extended LESS 10mm

It is important not have the arm installed at the maximum extended position due to the
need to create direct force against the gate stop in the centre of the driveway..
Note: The following installation is based on the gate being a “pull-to-open” setup.
For “push-to-open” setup you need to reverse the following instructions.
