the supply.
CAUTION:
do not use any cables which carry green/
yellow wires as this signifies earth, and do not comply
with electrical authority regulations.
Initial Check
Before commencing installation, check the following:
a. The gate moves freely by hand for the full length of open and close
travel.
b. The pier or post for mounting must be of solid construction (Brick, solid
timber or steel). It must bear most of the force applied by the drive unit.
c. A weatherproof 240V 10A general purpose power point should be
available within one metre of the pier/post. If two Elite
®
gate openers
are required, provision for underground cabling should be made from
one post to the other.
d. Ensure sideroom clearance is adequate. If there is not enough sideroom
available, the Minimum Sideroom Kit is required.

a. The mount distance of the Drive Unit should be recorded. This value will
be used later.
b. The mount distance for the drive unit and the hinge distance for the
gate can be selected to optimise the sideroom clearance.
NOTE:
If the gateway slopes away from pier/post, make sure an allowance
is made for clearance of the drive arm extension and slave arm to not touch
the ground.
c. Mount drive unit using four (4) 10mm loxins or dynabolts and the
mounting template within this document.
d. Make sure that the Drive Unit is mounted at an appropriate height from
the ground - allow minimum 35mm clearance for drive arm extension.
NOTE:
If the gate is already installed, measure the hinge distance and use
this table to optimise the mount distance.
