BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Make sure to leave sufficient space.
Windload: Even light wind may cause the motor to reverse (safety-reverse) as the forces effecting the gate are very

high. This applies especially to solid panel gates.
Gate Size: Gate size is an important factor. Wind can slow down gate or distort it, leading to higher amount of

required force.
Gate weight: Specification of gate weight represents only a rough parameter, which can vary according to actual

demand. Operation is important.
Influence of temperature: Low outdoor temperatures can impede or even prevent starting torque (gro und

deformation etc.). High outdoor temperatures can lead to premature initiation of temperature protection switch.
Notice: Motors are not designed to run permanent run (continuous operation). O utside temperature and gate

represent important parameters for actual operating duration.
Attention: This product may only be installed from professional installers. Only qualified and trained electricians may

connect, programme and service the controls. Qualified and trained electricians meet the following requirements:

- have knowledge of the general and specific safety and accident prevention regulations,

- have knowledge of the relevant electrical regulations,

- are trained in the use and care of appropriate safety equipment,

- are capable of recognising the dangers associated with electricity.

INSTALLATION OF DRIVE

The base for the drive can either be concreted or, if
appropriate, made of steel.
The concrete plinth needs to be of an appropriate size
(approx. 80cm long x 80cm wide x 100cm deep).

Notice: Precisely determine the height of the plinth
(motor mounting socket) and the distance from the gate
prior to installation. You are advised to work as
precisely as possible.

MOUNTING MOTOR AND GEAR UNIT

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.

Notice:

For gates with weights above 3.000kg it is recommended to
use two steel racks.
The tooth racks should be fitted as shown with an overlap
from rack to rack. For two rack mounting the M8 screw must
be replaced with a longer type to suit the application.

Steel racks are recommended (320001 = 1m)

DRIVE RELEASE MECHANISM
(MANUAL OPERATION)

The drive is equipped with a lockable release
mechanism to enable the gate to be operated
manually during a power out.
Open Door

1. Open lock with key

2. Push on lock to open

3. Turn opening lever into position
Disengage gear:

Turn knob fully inside (clockwise).
Engage gear:

Turn knob outside (anti-clockwise).
Notice: For full engagement of gear it is important to

turn the knob completely outside (anti-clockwise).

FITTING LIMIT SWITCHES (TO GATE)

• The drive should be disengaged before this part of
the assembly work is carried out.

• Slide the gate into the closed position.

• Mount the limit switch bracket such that the roller of

the first switch is situated approximately in the
middle of the bracket. Repeat this process for the
open position. The bracket must be mounted with
screws immediately.

INITIAL OPERATION

Check gate functionality manually when the drive has
been disengaged. Electrical operation is possible
only if a controller (CB400) is connected.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION:

See electrical wiring diagram with control board
CB400

• Control board pre-installed

• Limit switch pre-wired to NC contacts

• Motor pre-wired to control board box

• Control board box pre-installed

Always ensure that the mechanical and electrical
safety requirements relevant to the given system are
complied with. A sliding gate can also be secured by
implementing on-site measures (fence, wall, etc.).

MAINTENANCE WORK (monthly)

The drive mechanics are generally maintenance-free.
Check at regular intervals 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.

• Inspect for oil leakage on gear box.

• Inspect for damage to electrical wiring
