Connect the slave to the master unit with 2 core flex (maximum load 8Amp at 12volts) (Figure 3) 

 

 

 

Figure 3: Master/Slave connections 

 

The  units  are  set  in  the  factory  for  a  standard installation  with  the  master  placed  on  the  left  hand  side 
(from  inside  looking  out).    If  the  master  is  to  be  located  on  the  right  then  the  motor  wires  need  to  be 
reversed.  To do this, locate the connection blocks for each motor on the circuit board.  Swap the brown 
and blue wires for motor one.  Do the same for motor two (Figure 3)

The gate bracket should be positioned so that the arms are almost in a straight line when the gates are 
closed (Figure 4)  To check the location of the gate brackets, first disengage the main arm from the drive 
shaft (using the spanner provided), unscrew the bolt until the arm swings freely.  Clamp the gate bracket 
in position.  Open and close the gate to ensure the gate bracket is appropriately located.

The limit switches may now be adjusted (Figure 5).  Each unit has its own pair of cams, one to set the 
open  position  and  one  to  set  the  closed  position.    Loosen  the  screw  holding  the  cams.    Operate  the 
operator  with  the  transmitter  and  note  which  cam  controls  the  opening/closing  motion  (the  cam  lobe 
activates  a  limit  switch  to  turn  off  the  motor).    Reposition  each  cam  and  operate  the  operator  again.  
Repeat until the gates open and close to the required positions.
