Wiring Requirements
Single phase 240v 10A non-earth leakage protected power supply to where operator is
mounted.
*This is required because inverter VSD drive units inherently allow an earth leakage current to
flow. This current is minimal but a non RCD protected circuit must be installed and the
method of installation done so in accordance AS/NZS 3000:2018 to comply.
A connection made to an earth leakage protected circuit may cause nuisance tripping.
Extra Low Voltage cables from operator for access control. (Shielded cable if over 8m runs).
Installation Details
After reading the previous sections in this manual, and having checked for suitable installation, proceed as
follows:-
Electrical Cabling
A suitably rated Isolator and 240v power supply should be available near to where the gate operator is
to be mounted. The following diagrams will provide measurements for the positioning of conduits and
the appropriate position for mounting the operator.
When bringing power and control cables into the control enclosure inside the operator,
please leave enough slack in the cables, in this way, the enclosure can still be lifted up
in order to see and work on the controls easier. To lift up control enclosure, undo wing
nut on right hand side, once lifted up, re tighten the nut to keep enclosure in upwards
position, once finished, undo nut, drop enclosure back down, then re tighten wing nut.
Mechanical Installation
Ensure gate rolls easily and has been installed in a manner where there is no excessive friction or
binding occurring.
A concrete base approximately 600mm long x 300 wide x 300mm deep should be laid where the gate
operator is to be located.
IMPORTANT
ensure there are gate stops firmly installed in the fully open and closed positions. These
stops need to be engineered and installed such that they will be strong enough to stop the gate should
the limits fail at any time.
Remove the gate operator cover and position mounting plate and operator in approximate mounting
location.
Use the rack to locate the operator the correct distance away from the gate rail (finer adjustment can
be made after).
Dynabolt or chemical anchor the bottom mounting plate to the concrete mounting pad using 12 x
100mm fixings.
Unscrew anticlockwise the manual release knob so the drive gear free wheels.
Fix the rack to the gate rail ensuring there is approximately 1mm - 2mm gap between the meshing of
the teeth of the rack and the drive gear (no more). Move the gate by hand from one end to the other
while checking that the rack is meshing correctly with the drive gear on the operator. Check also that
the rack is centred around the middle of the teeth on the drive cog – tighten the mounting plate nuts.
Electrical Connections
Connect a non earth leakage protected 10A 240v supply to Din Rail terminals labelled A & N, Connect
earth to the earth Din Rail terminal.
Conduits for power & control need to preferably come up through the base plate 'knockout'.
