The PY800AC/PY1400AC will handle gate weighting up to
800kg/1400 kg and up to 14m/20m if the proper installation
procedures have been followed.
The PY800AC/PY1400AC gate operator operates by forcing a drive
rack by a drive gear. The entire configuration is shown in the
diagram below. The gate operator must be installed on the inside of
the gate.

Gate preparation
Be sure the gate is properly installed and slides smoothly before
installing the PY800AC/PY1400AC sliding gate operator. The gate
must be plumb, level, and move freely.
Conduit
In order to protect the cable, use PVC conduit for low voltage power
cable and control wires. Conduit must be preset into the concrete
when it is poured. Wires within the conduit shall be located or
protected so that no damage can result from contact with any rough

or sharp part.
Concrete pad
The base unit of the gate operator requires a concrete pad in order to
maintain proper stability. The concrete pad should be approximately
450mm x 300mm x 200mm deep in order to providing for adequate
weight and structure to insure proper stable installation.
Anchors

(see Fig.2)
Y ou can use anchor bolts, anchors, washers and nuts. These
anchors must be set into the concrete when it is poured or you can
use wedge anchors to fasten the operator.

Operator base (see Fig.3)
After the concrete has hardened, mount the gate operator base to the
concrete pad. Verify that the base is properly leveled.
Using bolts and washers mount the gate operator to the base and
insert the cover. Check the operator and make sure it is lined up with
the gate.

Installation of Rack

z Fix the three nuts (in the same package with rack) on the rack

element.

z Lay the first piece of rack on the gear and weld the first nut on the

gate.

z Move the gate manually, checking if the rack is resting on the

gear, and weld the second and third nut.

z Bring another rack element near to the previous one. Move the

gate manually and weld the three nuts as the first rack, thus
proceeding until the gate is fully covered.

z When the rack has been installed, to ensure it meshes correctly

with the gear.

z The space between rack and gear is about 0.5mm.

5. Adjustment

Spring limit switch
z To ensure safety, it is recommended to install limit switches at

both ends of the gate to prevent the gate from sliding out of the
rails. The rails must be installed horizontally.

z Install the limit block as shown in Fig.5 and Fig.6. The spring limit

switch and blocks are used to control the position of the gate.

z Release the gear with the key and push the sliding gate manually

to pre-determine the position, fix the block to the rack and lock
the gear by push up the release bar. Moving the gate electrically,
adjust the block to the proper position until the position of the
opening and closing meet the requirement.

Magnetic limit switch
z To ensure safety, it is recommended to install limit switches at

both ends of the gate to prevent the gate from sliding out of the
rails. The rails must be installed horizontally.

z Install the limit block as shown in Fig.4 and Fig.5. The magnetic

of limit switch and blocks are used to control the position of the

gate.

z Release the gear with the key and push the sliding gate manually

to pre-determine the position, fix the block to the rack and lock
the gear by push up the release bar. Moving the gate electrically,
adjust the block to the proper position until the position of the
opening and closing meet the requirement.
