1
Do not wear rings, watches or loose clothing while
servicing or installing a gate opener.
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.
Entrapment between the moving gate and walls
due to the opening movement must be avoided by
using safety edges or IR sensors when necessary.
Please remove any locks fitted to the gate in order to
prevent damage to the gate. A special E-Lock is
available as accessory.
After installation, ensure that the gate opener system is properly adjusted and that the safety system and the manual release function correctly.
This drive must not be used with a gate incorporating a wicket door.
The actuating member of a biased-off switch, if installed, is to be located within direct sight of the
gate but away from moving parts. Unless it is key
operated, it is to be installed at a minimum height of
1.5m and not accessible to the public.
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 any controls.
Keep remote controls away from children. Operate gate when it is in full view and no one is near
the gate. A gate can cause serious injuries or
death as it opens or closes.
Connect the gate opener to a properly
EARTHED general purpose 240 V mains power
outlet installed by a qualified electrical contractor.
DISCONNECT THE POWER CORD from the
mains power before making any repairs or removing covers. Only EXPERIENCED service
personnel should remove covers from the gate
opener.
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.
The gate drive system is to be regularly examined for any signs of wear and tear or damage.
The gate drive system must not be used if repair
or adjustments are needed.
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.
PLEASE START BY READING THESE IMPORTANT SAFETY RULES
IMPORTANT ADVICE: THESE INSTRUCTIONS ESSENTIALLY DESCRIBE THE INSTALLATION OF THE MGA600 DRIVE WITH THE ACCESSORY ARM ART-3, FOR INSTALLATION ON A SWING GATE
IF THE ART-1 FOLDING GATE ARM OR THE SPACE-SAVING ART-2 GATE ARM ARE INSTALLED IT IS ESSENTIAL TO FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS INCLUDED WITH THOSE ITEMS. THE INSTALLATION WORK VARIES FROM THESE INSTRUCTIONS AT SOME POINTS.
WARNING AND SAFETY ADVICE IS EXCEPTED FROM THIS.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
The MGA is suitable for use with wide pillars, up to about 30cm in width. The maximum recommended opening angle
of the gate is 125 degrees. Ensure that ample space is available next to the drive for the arms and assembly. Gates
exposed to a high wind load must be fixed with an electric lock for additional protection. While the drive is fitted with
internal limit switches, stops should also be mounted on the ground to prevent gate rattle or flutter. There are many
factors to consider when choosing the right drive mechanism. Assuming that a gate functions properly, "startup" is the
most difficult phase, once the gate is in motion, significantly less force is usually required to move it.
• Gate size: The gate size for this drive must not be more than 3.0m. Wind can brake or distort the gate, thereby in-
creasing the amount of force needed to move it considerably.
• Gate weight: The weight of the gate must not be more than 250kg.
• Effect of temperature: Be sure that the ambient temperature where the drive is installed will be between -20 to
+55C
0
deg since low outdoor temperature can prevent the motor from starting. High outdoor temperatures along with
frequent use can cause the motor thermal protection to operate. Wait 15 minutes if this has occurred.

NSTALLATION CHECKLIST - PREPARATIONS
Check the carton contents and read the instructions carefully. Make sure your gate equipment operates perfectly. The
gate must run evenly and smoothly and must not stick at any point. Remember that the ground level may be several
centimeters higher in winter. The gate must be stable and as free of backlash as possible in order to prevent any unwanted
t
o and fro movement. The more smoothly the gate leaf runs, the more sensitive the force adjustment must be.
N
ote down any materials you still need and obtain them before starting to install. Heavy-duty plugs, bolts, gate stops,
cables, distribution boxes, tools, etc.
GATE TYPES
T
he gate type determines the location where the drive mechanism is installed. If the gate stop is on the ground, the drive
mechanism must also be installed at a height that is as low as possible so that it cannot twist the gate. Use only parts of
the gate frame for fixing purposes.
For steel gates, the gate fitting must be attached to the main frame. If you are uncertain whether the available support is
sufficiently stable, reinforce it.
In the case of wooden gates, the gate fitting must be through bolted. It is advisable to fit a plate from the outside so that
the fixing brackets cannot become loose over time. Thin wooden gates must also be reinforced in order to withstand the
stresses encountered.
FOR TWO GATE APPLICATION A FIXED GATE STOP MUST BE INSTALLED.
Gate stops save wear and tear on the drive mechanism, gate and fittings. Operating a
gate without fixed limit stops results in poor performance. It is often dangerous, leads
to premature wear in the case of heavy gates often exposed to wind stress.

OUNTING REQUIREMENTS
The gate drive mechanism is suitable for use in conjunction
with pillars with a max. thickness of 30cm. The amount of
room around the pier affects the opening angle and the pos
ition of the arms. The drive mechanism is equipped with
built-in limit stops for both the OPEN and CLOSE directions. A different opening angle can be set for the left-hand
wing as compared with the right-hand one.

INSTALLATION
Step 1 Install Motor Bracket
For Stone or reinforce concrete pillars use Dynabolts or
Chemical anchors (not supplied) to mount the motor support bracket onto the wall at the desired height. The gate
motor exerts a considerable force, ensure the wall is suitable. It may be necessary to use metal reinforcing, if so
weld the bracket onto the brace to prevent damage to the
wall and or motor.
If fastening to brickwork CHEMICAL ANCHORS should
be used and metal reinforcing is highly recomended.
DO NOT USE PLASTIC ANCHOR TO MOUNT THE
BRACKET IN PLACE.
Step 2 Prepare the Motor Housing
Taking note of the the Motorʼs orientation, carefully knock
out one of the four tap in the base housing as illustrated to
allow for cable entry. Several openings for the cable have
been pre-punched in the base and need only be broken
through. Place the base plate onto a solid surface whilst
breaking the holes through to prevent the PVC base plate
from breaking. A small, flat screwdriver should be used for
breaking the holes through. For this purpose, tap on the
screwdriver handle with the palm of the hand from the inside. Repeat this as necessary at several points on the premarked circle. The pre-punched area can then be easily
removed and the strain relief supplied as standard fitted in
its place.
Thread the Terminated Loom through the gland nut and into
the hole knocked out for cable entry. Thread the gland over
the cable and through the knockout hole as illustrated. Fasten the Gland in place firmly with the nut. Hand tighten the
bottom nut, allowing around 200mm of cable to protrude.

Step 5 Manual Release.
The release lock for the casing is located under the rubber waterproof cover. Use the socket spanner supplied in the
hardware bag to lift the cover up. The release key located beneath the hood should be inserted into the side openings
and turned approx. 180 degrees until it cannot turn any further. The drive has now been released. To re-engage it, the
key should be turned back to its original position.
NOTE: Take care when unlatching the drive for manual operation. The gate panel can move in an uncontrolled
way, especially if it is mounted in a sloped position.

S A F E T Y I N S T A L L A T I O N I N F O R M AT I O N
Warning - To reduce the risk of SEVERE INJURY or DEATH from an incorrect installation:
1. Vehicular gate systems provide convenience and security. Gate systems are comprised of many component parts. The gate operator is only one component. Each gate system is specifically designed for an individual application.
2. Gate operating system designers, installers and users must take into account the possible hazards associated with each individual
component. Poorly designed, installed or maintained gate systems may be dangerous to users and bystanders. Gate installers
and designers should therefore take steps to reduce the publicʼs exposure to potential hazards.
3. A gate operator can generate a great deal of force during operation, installers must be mindful of this fact. Safety features must be
incorporated into every design. Specific safety features include:
•
Gate Edges • Guards for exposed rollers • Photoelectric Sensors
• Vertical Posts • Instructional and Precautionary Signage
4
. A gate opener should only be installed where:
a. The operator is appropriate for the construction and the usage class of the gate.
b
. All exposed pinch points are eliminated or guarded, and guarding is supplied for exposed rollers.
5. The operator is intended for installation only on vehicular gates only, pedestrians should be supplied with a seperate access
6
. The gate must be installed in a location so that enough clearance is supplied between the gate and adjacent structures when
opening and closing to reduce the risk of entrapment. Swinging gates shall not open into public access areas.
7. The gate must be properly installed and work freely in both directions prior to the installation of the gate operator.
8. Controls must be far enough from the gate so that the user is prevented from coming in contact with the gate while operating the
controls.
9. Any warning signs must be clearly visible, on each side of the gate.
10. For a gate operator utilising a non-contact sensor:
a. Reference ownerʼs manual regarding placement of non-contact sensor for each type of application.
b. Care shall be exercised to reduce the risk of nuisance tripping, such as when a vehicle trips the sensor while the gate is still
moving.
c. One or more non-contact sensors shall be located where the risk of entrapment or obstruction exists, such as the perimeter
reachable by a moving gate or barrier.
11. For a gate operator utilizing a contact sensor such as an edge sensor:
a. A hard wired contact sensor shall be located and its wiring arranged so the communication between the sensor and the gate
operator is not subject to mechanical damage.
b. A wireless contact sensor such as the one that transmits radio frequency (RF) signals to the gate operator for entrapment pro-
tection functions shall be located where the transmission of the signals are not obstructed or impeded by building structures,
natural landscaping or similar obstruction. A wireless contact sensor shall function under the intended end-use conditions.
c. One or more contact sensors shall be located at the leading edge, trailing edge and post mounted both inside and outside of a
vehicular horizontal slide gate.
d. One or more contact sensors shall be located at the bottom edge of a vehicular vertical lift gate.
e. One or more contact sensors shall be located on the inside and outside leading edge of a swing gate. Additionally, if the bottom
edge of a swing gate is greater than 15cm (6”) above the ground at any point in its arc of travel, one or more contact sensors
shall be located on the bottom edge.
IMPO RTANT SAFE OPERATING/MAINTENANCE
INSTRUCTIONS
To reduce the risk of SEVERE INJURY or DEATH:
1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
2. NEVER allow children to operate or play with gate
controls. Keep the remote control away from children.
3. ALWAYS keep people and objects away from the
gate. NO ONE SHOULD CROSS THE PATH OF
THE MOVING GATE.
4. Test the gate operator monthly. The gate MUST reverse on contact with a rigid object or stop when an
object activates the non-contact sensors. After adjusting the force or the limit of travel, retest the gate
operator. Failure to adjust and retest the gate operator properly can increase the risk of INJURY or
DEATH.
5. Use the manual release ONLY when the gate is not
moving.
6. KEEP GATES PROPERLY MAINTAINED. Read the
ownerʼs manual. Have a qualified service person
make repairs to gate hardware.
7. The entrance is for vehicles ONLY. Pedestrians
MUST use separate entrance.
8. This appliance is not intended for use by persons
(including children) with reduced physical sensory or
mental capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given supervision
or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a
person responsible for their safety.

* Solar Powered Panels - The size of these depends on: the duty cycle of the gates; the hours of sunlight; and the number and type of accessories fitted. 30 watts is recommended for Residential use. The
conductor size needs to be in accordance with Table 1 below, as a minimum.
* Battery Powered with trickle charging - Due to the high cost of long runs of heavy cable, it may be more
economical in some installations to operate the gates from a battery, which is charged from a remotely
located trickle charger.
For example: a 15 VAC 2.5 Amp plug pack can be
located at the house, with appropriate wiring to the
gate, controller, and battery some distance away.
Follow Table 1 for minimum recommended
conductor sizes for different distances.
WIRING: All wiring must be arranged to prevent water
entering the controller enclosure. Do not wire mains
voltage and low voltage control wires in the same conduit.
* Low voltage motor cable sizes - Voltage will drop along
low voltage cables over long distances. It is
recommended to use cable with conductors of the
following minimum cross sectional areas. Table 2
lists lengths for twin-core cable, from a 12 V supply and
5 Amp load.
