OPERATING DEVICES
All Wapro sluice gates are available with a diverse range of operating devices. Both for direct mounting on the sluice
gate as well as to extend the operation of the sluice gate. Lengths are made to order. Note that as standard the sluice
gate comes without any operating device. Handwheel, extensions or other operating devices can always be ordered after
initial delivery. Contact Wapro and provide sluice gate type and size.
If an operation extension is used, it is necessary to use wall brackets to eliminate excessive flexing. The brackets should
not be placed more than 1,5m apart.
AMBIENT CONDITIONS
The device is rated for use in temperatures between -25°C & 40°C. If the device is used below freezing temperatures, the
water around the gate can freeze, locking the gate in place. Do not attempt to use mechanical force to move a frozen
gate, as this can lead to permanent damage.
RETROFITTING AN ACTUATOR
If the user wishes to retrofit an actuator, we recommend contacting Wapro for technical information on torque
requirements and interface measurements. If an actuator adapter is mounted, the interface on the device follows ISO
5211.
