4. Installation
Ensure that the gate is rigid enough, free moving, and suitable for automation (i.e. enough room to
secure the rack on the gate).
Always disconnect the control box before arc welding is carried out.

a) Using the example in section 6 decide which cables are required and where the control box is to be
mounted (near the opener). The cable should enter the control box from the bottom.
b) Make sure sufficient cable conduit or cable is laid into the foundation which should be free from frost.
The very bottom opener should be at least 30 mm higher than the surrounding terrain and should be as
near as possible to the pivoting point of cantilever gates.
c) Open the access panel of the opener and remove the height adjustment plate. You now have access to
the elongated ground fixing holes.
d) Place the opener on the foundation parallel to the gate at a distance of 60 mm. Mark the middle of each
hole on the foundation.
e) Fix the opener, either with plugs and screws (M20), or with heavy duty tie bolts.
e) Decide at what height the rack is to be mounted on the gate. You can use the opener with the height
adjustment plate, or if the rack is to be as low as possible, without the adjustment plate.
g) Using the accompanying tubular “T”-bar disengage the opener (anticlockwise disengages and clockwise
re-engages. See section 4.1.)
h) Mount the rack at the required height on the gate. Don’t use the edges of the gate, always use the pinion
of the opener to determine the
height on the gate.
Lay a length of rack horizontally
on the pinion. Mark the height
of the securing points on the gate
through a hole in the rack. You
may push the gate along while
marking in order to gain a marking
line.
The rack and the pinion should fit
together with minimum play but
enough to ensure that the pinion
does not carry the gate.
