BASE PLATE MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Assemble base plate by fastening M10x30 Hex set screws into base plate from under

the base plate up and tightening into position.

2. Mount base plate with bolts 160mm from the centre of the gate track and centre of base plate a

minimum of 250mm away from the gate opening.

3. Secure the base plate to the gate track by welding the base plate directly to the gate track. (Ensuring

a distance of 160mm from centre of gate track to centre of fastening screws).

4. Fit all required cabling through hole provided in base plate.

5. Support the back of the base plate with 40x40x3 angle iron (not provided) or similar off cut steel

knocked approximately 300 to 400mm into the ground.

6. Fill area below and around the base plate with approximately 300x400x300 concrete to ensure that

the motor will be secure.

7. NOTE – For SAFETY reasons, ALL motors should be fitted with a set of IR beams.

Gearbox mounting instructions

1. Fit gearbox over mounting bolts protruding from base plate.

2. Slide gate fully open and closed, insuring pinion gear has approximately 5mm clearance to gate at

all times.

3. Fasten gearbox down firmly to base plate using M10 washers and nuts.

How to override the gate motor for manual operation

1. Unlock and open the override lever on the gearbox.

2. The gate can now be opened and closed manually.

Rack mounting instructions

1. Unlock and open manual override lever fully to disengage gearbox. (See above).

2. Using a 2.5 to 3mm spacer between the pinion gear and the rack, mount the rack

using Tek screws No12x20 (not provided) and screw the rack to the gate starting
from the tail of the gate and ensuring that the rack is mounted level.
(A 2.5 to 3mm spacer can also be put between motor and base plate when fitting rack. This must be
removed once the rack is in place).

NB: Ensure that one of the screws attaching the nylon rack to the angle is in line with the
read switch or limit switch spring when the gate is fully closed and open position.

Limit switch actuator mounting instructions

1. Remove the screw attaching the nylon rack to the angle that is closest to the position of the reed

switch or the spring on the motor when the gate is in the close and open position.

2. Fit limit switch actuators with screws provided onto the nylon rack.

3. Setting the gate close actuator – Close the gate with approximately 10-20mm gap between gate and

close stopper. Now move the actuator until the close LED lights up. Fasten the actuator.

4. Setting the gate open actuator – Open the gate with approximately 10-20mm gap between gate and

open stopper. Now move the actuator until the open LED lights up. Fasten the actuator.

5. (The gate must never bump against the close or open end stoppers).

Magnetic limit actuator Spring limit actuator

Important: For safety reasons, a solid stop must be fitted at both ends of the gate to prevent the gate

from moving past its full open or close position.

POWER CONNECTIONS

Low voltage Plug in transformer.

Connect 512/16volt or 624/24volt AC from transformer to 16/24V AC connectors on controller card.

DO NOT CONNECT 220V DIRECTLY TO PCB
Low voltage (OBT) (25 VA) transformer – 220V at gate. (DTS512 has a 500m/Amp fuse)

Connect 220V AC to input side of 512/16volt or 624/24volt AC transformer (black & brown wires), or to

NEL (Neutral/Earth/ Live) connector on side of transformer, then connect the output wires (red) to
16/24V AC connectors on controller card.

DO NOT CONNECT 220V DIRECTLY TO PCB

WHEN 220V IS USED AT GATE MOTOR, A SEPARATE DOUBLE POLE ISOLATOR MUST

BE FITTED WITHIN 1METER FROM THE MOTOR.

5

High access power supply unit – 220V at gate. (DTS512, 220VA has a 2 Amp fuse and the

DTS624, 120VA has a 1.5 Amp fuse)

Connect 220V AC to LEN (Live/Earth/Neutral) connector on side of power supply unit.

Black lead from power supply unit gets connected to – ( neg.) PSU connection on PCB.
Red lead from power supply unit gets connected to + ( pos.) PSU connection on PCB.

DO NOT CONNECT 220V DIRECTLY TO PCB

DO NOT USE POWER SUPPLY UNIT (PSU) AND LOW VOLTAGE TRANSFORMER (16V AC) TOGETHER.

IF 220V IS USED AT GATE MOTOR, A SEPARATE DOUBLE POLE ISOLATOR MUST

BE FITTED WITHIN 1Meter FROM MOTOR.

COURTESY LIGHT OUTPUT (Will stay on for 3 minutes after a trigger is received)

(If this facility is not being used, it can then be utilized as a tamper alarm facility, see page 10).

DO NOT CONNECT 220V DIRECTLY TO PCB UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.
