Electrical and electronic installation and setup.
As a gate motor vibrates when in use, it is strongly recommended that only multiple strand flexible cables be used.
Before closing the unit, always remember to double check that all connections are securely made, that there are no stray strands flaring out that can
short circuit against other adjacent connections or bared wires and that no cables will be pulled loose when the cover is replaced on the unit.
Double check the battery connections as loose connections can cause arcing and corrosion of the battery terminals.
Terminating the AC voltages:
If you have chosen to install the standard kit which requires 220Vac at the gate motor then the 220Vac must be circuited through a weatherproof all pole
isolator switch. This isolator switch must be installed within 1,5m of the unit, must not be installed within the workings of the system (the gate may not
pass in front of it) and must be positioned so that it cannot be tampered with for the outside of the property. This circuit must be certified by way of a
C.O.C. (certificate of compliance) by a registered electrician.
In the case of the plug-in transformer option being used, where the low voltage 29Vac is run to the gate, there is no need for the all pole isolator at the
gate and the circuit does not need to be certified by a registered electrician*. The cable however must still be installed in its own dedicated conduit
pipe and the basic principles of electrical safety standards should still be followed when selecting, working with and installing the cable for this circuit.
* Some municipalities may require certification of all domestic electrical circuits including those below 50V.
