Step 7 - Magnetic limit switch
stops Installation:
Included in your gate motor kit are two
magnetic limit travel stops which must be
fitted to the gear rack on your gate to ensure
safe operation.
The magnetic limit travel stops are designed
to set the desired opening and closing
position of your gate.
These limit travel stops activate when the
magnets travel past a magnetic limit switch
sensor under the motor cover (refer to Fig 19
& 20). See page 32 for an image of the
magnetic limit switch sensor.
Please note: gates can open and close in different positions due to different weights of gates, terrains,
slopes (uphill or downhill). The distance the gate will travel after triggering the magnetic limit switch
may vary.
Setting the limit travel stops:
Closed Position
•
Position gate 150-200mm back from the
gate end catch closed position. This will help
in making sure you do not slam the gate into
the gate end catch.
•
Position Magnetic Limit Travel Stop B
(LARGER) central to the magnetic limit
switch sensor on the motor (as per fig 19).
•
Tighten locking screws provided.
Open Position
•
Position gate 150-200mm back from the
gate stopper open position.
•
This will help in making sure you do not
slam the gate into the gate stopper.
•
Position Magnetic Limit Travel Stop A
(SMALLER) central to the magnetic limit
switch sensor on the motor (as per fig 20).
•
Tighten locking screws provided.
To Reset:
When setting new limit stop positions please ensure that you turn the power off and then
on again. Turning the power off will reset the limit travel stop memory, allowing for new limit travel
stop positions to be recognised by the motor.
Refer to
Step 9
for testing and adjusting the limit travel stops.
