DO NOT USE BOTH solar and mains power at the same time. Solar panel
must face north and best suited within 10m of battery. Have a minimum of 8
hours of direct sun exposure to be effective. Use a suitable 12V solar
regulator installed inside your control box connected directly to your battery
leads.
Remote Control:
The 12Vdc remote transmitter contains two signal
represented by button 1 and button 2 on your remotes. Confirm with owner
which function they want for each of the button.
Double gate setup button #1 can be set as single gate operation while button
#2 is set as double gate operation. You can change this so that either button
will activate BOTH gates by moving the grey wire to join the brown wire at
block 7 terminal 1
Single gate setup wire only the white to block 7 (centre terminal) and ½ (grey).
You can relocate the receiver black box to another
moisture-free
location to
increase signal strength using cat.5 network cable.
Antenna:
The green wire is the antenna with a tuned length. DO NOT CUT.
You can increase the range by installing the Easysystems long range
antenna.
Adding New Remotes:
Remove the back panel of remote (tiny Phillips screw) that is already working
on your gate opener. Do the same to the new remote.
Each switch has 3 positions (top, middle and bottom) so care must be taken
when setting each DIP switch. Match the new remote DIP settings to the
working (current) remote DIP switch positions.
Check the signal transmission by pressing your new remote.
Changing Remote Codes:
Positioned inside your gate opener control box is
the remote Receiver box with 5 wires connecting to your control board. Open
this up to view the code DIP switches which is adjustable to suit your remotes.
If you change these you must also change the remote DIP switch by removing
the back panel of the remote (tiny Phillips screw) and matching the receiver
DIP setting to match the remote DIP. Each switch has 3 positions (top, middle
and bottom) so care must be taken when setting each DIP switch. After the
receiver panel is connected to the control panel, check the signal
transmission.
Solid Gate-Stops
must be fitted in the center of driveway to give a solid
pressure point between the stop and the end of each gate. Place a gate stop
at the fully open position if desired. This will add strength to the system in the
fully closed position and preventing damage to the arm internal parts.

marking.
Wiring Double Gates:
Connect your arms to block MT1 and MT2. We
recommend 1.5mm wire or greater. Lighter cable
will
restrict the performance
