NSTALLATION
The Light Industrial Operators may be mounted sideways, with the long side against the pillar or post for
extra flexibility. This feature is very useful when:-
•
The gate must swing further than 90°
•
The gate swing outwards
•
The gate swings outward and it is positioned at least 400mm forward of the back of the pillar
NOTE: See also section on Outswing Installation
Figure 6: Side Mount Installations
Each unit should be fitted to the pillar with output shaft close to the gate hinge. With this in mind the
standard installation instructions may now be followed.
NOTE: Special Side mount covers to suit are supplied for this installation.

This term is applied to the situation where the movement of the standard arms cannot be accommodated
within the side room available. In most situations this problem can be overcome by cutting down the
Secondary arm (the link joining the gate bracket to the Primary arm). The new length can be approximated
by the following procedure:
1.
Move the Primary arm to a position suitable for the close gate. Remembering that in the closed position
the Primary and Secondary arms must stop short of straight line alignment (Figure 7)

Figure 7: Measure Length of Secondary arm
2.
Mark a point on the gate suitable for the gate bracket. Holding the gate bracket in position, measure the
distance between the hole centres on the gate bracket and Primary arm.
3.
Move the Primary arm to its maximum open position. Open the gate and measure the distance again
(Figure 8). If the length has changed then the gate bracket must be repositioned and the process repeated
until the dimension remains the same for both positions. Be careful that the Secondary arm does not
conflict with the drive shaft of the Primary arm.
