ECHANISM

 

 

The Manual Release mechanism is a built-in release 
device of the 412 Operator (see Figure 4). To access the 

keyhole, remove the plug on the top of the motor 
housing. Then insert the key and turn it a half turn in 
the direction of the gate’s closing to disengage the 

operator’s motorized operation. You can now move the 
gate leaf by hand to open or close the gate. Operating 
the gate leaf by hand is necessary during installation 

and is useful during power failures.

Once you have prepared the gate, you are ready to 
proceed with the installation of the operator. 

 

Follow the instructions below to install your operator 
whether in an inward or outward swinging 

configuration. 
 
Installing the operator consists of the following steps: 

 

∗ 

Establishing the orientation of each gate leaf and its 
operator. 

∗ 

Attaching the rear mounting bracket 

∗ 

Attaching the operator to the rear mounting bracket

Before you begin mounting brackets or attaching parts, 
you first need to establish the proper orientation of 

each operator in relation to its gate leaf. 
 
Figure 2 (page 5) shows a biparting gate from the side 

where the operators are mounted. The operator 
attached to the hinge on the left of the gate must be an 
SX model. If the hinge is on the right side, the DX 

model must be installed. 
 
Installing the operator on the wrong side makes it 

impossible to install the protective cover of the 
operator.

Inward swinging gate: 
 

You need to determine whether to attach the rear 

mounting bracket directly to the post (or wall) or to 
notch the post and install a recessed liner. Large pillars 
require a recessed liner to house the rear mounting 

bracket and part of the operator so that the pillar will 
not interfere with the swing of the gate when it is fully 
opened. 

 
To determine whether you need a recessed liner, 
measure the distances B and D (shown in Fig. 5) on your 

gate. If your measure of B or D is greater than the 
dimensions shown for your operator in Figure 5, notch 
the post and construct a recessed liner for the post 

mounting bracket (see Figure 6). The recessed liner 
should be constructed of 3/16 or 1/4 in. steel with a 
minimum interior height of 11 13/16 in. (30 cm) so as 

to allow you to meet the required dimensions shown in 
Figure 5. Make sure the recessed liner is securely 
embedded in the post (or wall). 

 
 There are two parts to the rear mounting bracket. The 
horizontal bracket attaches to the operator, and the 

slotted vertical plate attaches to the gate post (see 
Figure 8). Weld the two parts together and bolt the 
assembly to the gate post of column. Note, though, that 

use of the vertical rear mounting plate is optional. 

 

Once you have positioned the rear mounting bracket, 

attach the bracket to the post (or wall or recessed liner), 
making sure the dimensions on your gate system match 
those shown in Figure 5.
