Gate Installation Instructions
- 3 -
Tools Needed:
•
Power Drill and drill bit (Bit size and type
is dependent on gate mounting surface
•
Hex Bit Socket set or Hex wrenches
•
Tape Measure
•
Level (a string level is beneficial when
installing a double drive system.)
•
Wire Strippers
•
Small Screwdriver
Pre-Installation Considerations.
DSI will engineer the size of the post needed to
support the gate. Attaching the gate to anything other
than the post recommended by DSI is not advised.
Locate where you will place the control panel. You will
need to run appropriately sized wires from the control
panel to the bottom hinge of each gate. Approximately
16’ of wire is supplied with each gate. As mentioned
previously do not position the gate so that it will swing
into public access areas. Follow all local codes and
ordinances when positioning the Turning Point gates.
Gates that are to have a magnetic or power bolt lock
system should have the wires routed in the gate to the
location of the device prior to hanging the gate. Wires
should terminate the gate at a bottom hinge location.
A. Gate Installation Instructions.
1. Lay out a plan for the positioning of the
gate and the control box. Make sure that
you will have a minimum of 6’ from any
moving part of the gate to the control box.
The control box must be located within
direct view of the gate.
2. Dig a trench, deep enough to prevent wires
from damage, from the control box to the
bottom hinge of each gate. ( NOTE: Check
local codes for any specific requirements
when routing 12-volt electrical
underground.)
3. Position the bottom hinge of the gate onto
the gatepost. (If this is to be a double drive
system start with the gate on the highest
ground.) The top of the hinge bracket is to
be positioned at a point 3/8” above the
desired bottom of the gate. Be sure the
hinge is perpendicular. Level the top of the
hinge mount bracket. If the bracket is not
kept perpendicular and level the gate will
not function properly. Attach bracket with
appropriate fasteners. (See figure 1)
4. Loosen the collar clamp on the bottom
bracket to allow the pivot end of the gate to
fit into the collar.
5. Feed the 12-volt, 2 wire, jacketed power
cable at the pivot end of the gate (inside the
pipe) through the hole in the bottom center
of the bottom bracket. There is an angle
bracket beside the hole . The wire will feed
through the hole easily if the wire is guided
in at the top of the bracket and pulled from
the bottom with the wire rubbing against
the bottom of the angle bracket
simultaneously. (See figure 2)
6. Set the galvanized pipe onto the bottom
bracket so that the pipe seats fully into the
collar. Be sure the wire is not pinched
between the collar and the pipe. (See figure
3) Support the outer edge of the gate to
keep it close to level. Also support the gate
to keep it from tipping to the left or right of
the bracket. (See figure 4)
