SMART SYSTEMS FOR ACCESS CONTROL
Step 4
(fig. 15)
Determine the optimum position of the pivot bracket
on the post mount bracket assembly by
ensuring a mini-
mum 2” clearance exists between the gate and the gate
opener (actuator) in both the gate-open and gate-closed
positions
. To ensure the 2” clearance minimum is main-
tained in the gate-closed position, remove the clevis pin
from the gate bracket while holding the gate opener;
then close the gate. Move the gate opener (actuator) so
the gate bracket and the gate opener are aligned.
NOTE:
Ensure the gate opener (actuator) and the pivot
bracket do not bind in the gate-open and gate-closed
positions.
If the proper clearance cannot be achieved, turn over
the pivot bracket and try a different alignment position.
You may also move the post pivot bracket assembly
slightly to the right or left to obtain the proper
clearances.
After you’ve identified the desired position of the pivot
bracket, place the 5/16” x 1” hex bolt into the desired
pivot hole (out of the five pivot hole options) on the
post bracket.
