Find the correct height for the limit magnet to find
the mounting spot from the gate. This should be done
in conjunction with the next step of adjusting the hor-
izontal distance the limit switch protrudes from the
side of the unit. The distance from the limit magnet
to the limit switch should be under 1 inch.
Adjust the limit switch horizontally to match up with
the limit magnet. The distance between the two
should not exceed 1 inch.
Mount your limit magnet on the provided piece of flat
bar. The flat bar is intended to be attached to your
gate at the correct height to trigger your limit switch
in the gate’s
OPEN
position. There are many ways to
attach the flat bar to your gate so the bar is left un-
drilled and unpainted for best suiting it to your style
gate.
Example:
In the photo the gate is picket style, in this
case we would use self tapping metal screws to
attach the bar to the pickets. Then we would paint
the flat bar black.
