SMART SYSTEMS FOR ACCESS CONTROL
Step 3
(fig. 30)
Start with the gate in the closed position and with the
gate opener (actuator) in its retracted (closed) position.
Then place the gate opener (actuator) with the gate
bracket and post bracket assembly onto the gate post
and the gate. Position the gate bracket and the post
bracket assembly so that the gate opener (actuator) is
level with the horizontal cross member of the gate.
NOTE:
The gate opener (actuator) should be positioned
approximately in the middle between the top and bot-
tom of the gate. While holding the gate opener (actua-
tor) in the desired level position use two C-clamps: use
one to temporarily secure the gate bracket to the gate.
Use the other to temporarily secure the post mount
bracket assembly to the gate post.
Step 4
(fig. 31)
Determine the position of the push-to-open bracket on
the post mount bracket assembly by ensuring a 2” mini-
mum clearance is maintained between the gate and the
gate opener (actuator) in both the gate-open and gate-
closed positions. To ensure the minimum 2” clearance is
maintained in the gate closed position, remove the clev-
is pin from the gate bracket while holding the gate
opener (actuator) and then close the gate. Move the
gate opener (actuator) so the gate bracket and the gate
opener (actuator) are aligned. Ensure that a 2” clear-
ance is maintained.
NOTE:
If the proper clearance cannot be found, turn
over the push-to-open bracket to try different alignment
positions. You may also move the post bracket assembly
slightly to the right or left to obtain the proper
clearances.
When the desired position of the push-to-open bracket
is found, place the 5/16 x 1-3/4” bolt into the desired
pivot hole (out of the five pivot hole options) on the
post bracket.
NOTE:
Refer to
page 29
for setting DIP Switch 4 in the
correct push-to-open mode.
When the push-to-open installation is complete go to
the bracket mounting section on
page 16
.
Swinging gates must not open into public
access areas.
