PLEASE START BY READING THESE IMPORTANT SAFETY RULES • SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

This safety alert symbol means "Caution" - failure to comply with such an instruction involves risk of personal injury or damage
to property. Please read these warnings carefully.

This gate drive mechanism is designed and tested to offer appropriately safe service provided it is installed and operated in
strict accordance with the following safety rules.

Incorrect installation and/or failure to comply with the following instructions may result in serious personal injury or property
damage.

Installation and wiring must be in compliance with
your local building and electrical installation codes.
Power cables must only be connected to a properly
earthed supply.

Any entrapment possibility by the moving wing between
wing & walls must be secured with safety edges or IR­sensors.

.

Disconnect electric power to the system before making
repairs or removing covers.

A disconnecting device must be provided in the
permanently-wired installation to guarantee all-pole
disconnection by means of a switch (at least 3mm
contact gap) or by a separate fuse.

When using tools and small parts to install or carry
out repair work on a gate exercise caution and do not
wear rings, watches or loose clothing.

Make sure that people who install, maintain or
operate the gate drive follow these instructions. Keep

these instructions in a safe place so that you can refer to
them quickly when you need to.

Please remove any locks fitted to the gate in order to
prevent damage to the gate.

It is important to make sure that the gate always runs
smoothly. Gates which stick or jam must be repaired
immediately. Employ a qualified technician to repair the

gate, never attempt to repair it yourself.

Keep additional accessories away from children. Do not
allow children to play with pushbuttons or remote controls.
A gate can cause serious injuries as it closes.

After the installation a final test of the full function of
the system and the full function of the safety devices
must be done.

The full protection against potential squeeze or
entrappment must work direct when the drive arms
are installed.

This drive cannot be used with a gate incorporating a
wicket door unless the drive cannot be operated with
the wicket door open.

IMPORTANT FITTING AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

ATTENTION

en-2

INSTALLATION OF DRIVE BASE PLATE A-C

The base plate for the drive can either be concreted in or, if appropriate,
welded into position. The place where the base plate is usually located
is shown on the installation overview. The concrete plinth needs to be of
an appropriate size (approx. 50cm x 50cm x 50cm).

Please note: If it is impossible to precisely determine the height of
the plinth and the distance from the gate prior to installation, it is
advisable to mount the rack bars first and then concrete in the base
plate. Spacers are fitted to move the rack bars approx. 40mm
towards the inside.

The distance from the bottom edge of the rack bar to the base plate
is approx. 8 - 9cm. The base plate permits final height and depth
adjustments of several centimetres to be made, but you are advised
to work as precisely as possible from the outset.

MOUNTING MOTOR AND GEAR UNIT A-D

The drive should be fitted on to the threaded bolts in the base plate.
The height should be set such that there is a gap of approx. 1 - 2mm
between the cog wheel and the rack bar. The weight of the gate should
not be borne by the cog wheel! Position the drive via the adjustment
holes such that its location vis-à-vis the rack bar complies with the
installation dimensions.

MOUNTING RACK BAR

The easiest way to fit the rack bar is to first place it on the motor's
drive cog, disengage the motor and, by pushing the gate further with
the rack bar, screwing the bar bit by bit firmly in position. In this way,
you ensure that the rail bar engages with the cog wheel in an optimum
manner. While doing this, do not forget to mark each fixing point.

DRIVE RELEASE MECHANISM (MANUAL OPERATION)

The drive is equipped with a lockable release mechanism to enable
the gate to be operated manually in a power cut. The release
mechanism is shown in fig. 5 with the clutch disengaging the link
between the cog wheel and the gear.

To release the drive: Position the socket spanner appropriately and
turn it 180 degrees. Then turn the release lever 180 degrees too.
Finished.

FITTING LIMIT SWITCHES (TO GATE)

The limit switches are assembled as shown in fig. 6A,B and 9A,B
One limit switch magnet is designated A (1) and the other B (2).
Fit the limit switches on to the rack bar in those places where the

final travel positions are roughly expected to be. The magnet should
point towards the motor. The switch (contact) is located in the middle
of the motor. Screw the retaining clip only provisionally in place or
slot it lightly on to the rack bar.

Attention: Please notice fitting of the magnets on the rack bar
(fig. 9A+B).
Magnet A (1) = to the left
Magnet B (2) = to the right

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

There are many factors that are key to the choice of the right
sliding gate drive. Assuming the gate is in good working order, the

most difficult aspect is getting the gate to move. Once the gate is in
motion, force requirements are in the main significantly reduced.

• Gate size: Gate size is a very important factor. A light yet long

gate (long = + 5m) needs a far greater force to set it in motion
than a short, heavy gate does.

WIND CAN BRAKE A GATE'S MOVEMENT OR MAKE IT HARD
TO MOVE, THUS INCREASING FORCE REQUIREMENTS
SIGNIFICANTLY.

• Gate weight: Gate weight is only an approximate indicator the

actual relevance of which can vary greatly. Example: A light gate
that slides poorly is likely to need a stronger drive than a
heavy, smooth-sliding gate.

Caution: A sliding gate must run in a guide rail and should not
be able to leave the rail. This means end stops need to be
fitted for both directions!

• Temperature: Low outdoor temperatures make it difficult or, in

some cases, impossible to get the gate moving due, for instance,
to changes in the ground conditions. In such cases, a stronger
drive again might be necessary. High outdoor temperatures can
cause the thermal protection mechanism to be activated sooner.

•Operating frequency / Duty cycle:Sliding gate drives have a
maximum duty cycle of approx. 30% (e.g. 30% per hour). CAUTION:
The drives were not designed to be run for the maximum duty cycle
on a regular basis (permanent operation). If the drive gets too hot, it
switches itself off until it has cooled down to activation temperature.

The outdoor temperature and the gate itself are key factors
determining the drive's actual duty cycle

•Safety:Asliding gate drive has to be fitted with a flashing lamp,
contact strips and, if necessary, with additional light barriers as safety
features. Please ensure that you comply with the standards and
regulations relevant to your particular case.

• Control unit: The control unit was developed specifically with
safety aspects in mind. It is already located under the drive hood

and wired up for right-hand installation as standard (motor to the
right of the gate).

CHECK LIST - PRE-INSTALLATION WORK -

Prior to actual installation, please check that you have been provided
with all the parts indicated within the scope of supply.
Make sure your gate system is in good working order.
The gate must run smoothly, not jerkily and not make contact with
the ground at any point. Bear in mind that the ground can be several
centimetres higher in winter. The gate needs to be stable with as little
play as possible to prevent any lateral movement from occurring. The
easier the gate moves, the more sensitive the force setting needs to
be.
Make a note of the materials you still need and make sure you obtain
them prior to installation - adhesive anchors (strong plugs), screws,
stops, cable, distributor boxes, tools, etc.

OVERVIEW OF INSTALLATION

The drive has to be installed behind the wall to ensure that no part of
it projects out into the gate opening. The motor has to be mounted
on the flush fitted base plate. The rack bar shown has to be fitted to
the gate with the fixing material supplied.

Decide which is the best height for fixing the rack bar to the gate and
use this to determine the installation dimensions for the motor unit
and base plate. Should the gate be unsuitable for fitting the rack bar
to it, a fixing profile (angle bracket, shaped tubing, etc.) needs to be
mounted first.

INITIAL OPERATION

Check gate functionality manually when the drive has been
disengaged. Electrical operation is only possible with the control unit
that is supplied as standard.

Electrical connections: See control unit instructions.

Always ensure that the mechanical and electrical safety requirements
relevant to the given system are complied with. fig.7

MAINTENANCE WORK

The drive mechanics are maintenance-free. Check at regular
intervals (monthly) that the gate hardware and the drive are all firmly
in place. Disengage the drive and check gate functionality. Only an
easy-running gate will work well with a drive. A drive is no substitute
for a poorly functioning gate.

A sliding gate can also be secured by implementing on-site
measures (fence, wall, etc.). See fig.8.
