7. Commissioning
Once the system has been fully fitted and connected to control panel (MC2), the system needs to be
fully commissioned and tested.
It is recommended to have the swing gates locked into the half open / closed on the first operation,
just to ensure that the motor is running the right direction on the first command.
Pay special attention to safety devices.
Check the control panel logic and set up to ensure all suitable functions are activated and
programmed properly.
Fully explain the system to the end user and demonstrate the functions and features that have been
set up.
Demonstrate the manual release mechanism as shown in below.

The automated gate system must be used with due care and attention at all times.
Basic maintenance should be carried out at regular intervals to ensure that the gate system is
operating correctly and safely.

Always consult a specialist if any problems occur which are not solved by basic maintenance
Always isolate and disconnect power supply to gate control board and motor before opening control
box or gate motor
Basic Troubleshooting for incorrect operation of motor and control
-
Check the power supply and continuity using suitable meter instrument after open and closed
commands have been given.
-
If the motor direction is incorrect, such as the gate leaf closes when it has been given an open
command, the motor wiring will need to be inverted (see wiring instructions for MC2 control
panel). Swap the motor phase wires on control panel
-
If the gate control panel has a problem, disconnect all additional equipment such as intercoms,
safety photocells, push buttons etc. Then run tests on the basic system, then re-connect each
item of equipment individually and test system until the faulty device has been found and
isolated.
