Setup and Installation

Any works done to the gate opener must be completed whilst the power is off and the opener is unplugged. Any modifications/alterations/works to AC power components must only be completed by a licensed electrician.

Before You Start

• The DKC500DC/DKC800DC Sliding Gate Automation Kit is suitable for gates up to 500/800kg in weight and up to 8m in length.
• Gate motion is achieved by the rotating output gear driving the gear rack (sold separately) fitted to the moving gate.
• The gate opener requires you to press the remote control once to open, and once again to close. This is a safety feature.
• The opener must be fitted within private property, never externally to a property's boundary.

Tools Required

• Tape measure
• Level
• 12mm concrete drill and hammer (when using expansion screws)
• Phillips head screwdriver
• Straight screwdriver

Default Setting Instruction

The gate opener will open the gate to the right-hand side as its default setting. By default, the opener mounts on the right-hand side (Figure 1).

Figure 1: Diagram showing a gate in closed and open positions, indicating the default right-hand opening.

Before installation: Test the gate opener by plugging it into a power source and pressing the remote. Press the opening button, the output gear rotates, then press the stop button, the output gear stops rotating. Finally, press the closing button, the output gear rotates to the opposite direction. This will give you an understanding of the way in which the opener will move the gate.

Figure 2: Illustration of pressing the remote's top button, which causes the output gear to rotate and the gate to move in the set direction.

Note: Ensure that the gate opener is unplugged before proceeding with installation. Please keep fingers away from the motor output gear whilst it is turning.

If your gate needs to open from the other direction (to the left, refer to Figure 3), your opener needs to be mounted on the left-hand side as shown, and the relative wires need to be swapped over. Check under "Terminal Instructions" for swapping. (Factory default setting is for right-hand opening: opener mounted on the right-hand side).

Figure 3: Diagram illustrating gate opener mounting options for left-hand opening.

Step 1 - Gate Preparation

• Ensure the sliding gate is correctly installed.
• The gate must be horizontal and level, gliding smoothly by hand before opener installation.
• Wheels and guide rollers should rotate easily and be free from dirt or grime.
• Track should be flat, level, and firmly affixed.
• Any misalignment will affect performance.

Figure 5: Diagram showing a gate that should slide smoothly by hand.

Step 2 - Checking Manual Release

Insert the key and open the manual release bar to enable manual mode. Check that the motor output gear rotates freely by hand (Figure 6).

Figure 6: Illustration of inserting the key and rotating the manual release bar 90° to allow free gear movement.

Step 3 - Removing / Installing Motor Cover

• Unscrew the two cover screws on each side of the motor cover.
• Remove the rubber grommet below the limit switch (Figure 7).

Figure 7: Sequence showing removal of the motor cover and rubber grommet.

Please Note: The rubber grommet must be fitted back onto the motor cover once the cover has been re-fitted/replaced onto the base of the motor.

Step 4 - Motor Pad Footing

• The motor pad concrete footing requires an area of no less than 400mm long x 250mm wide and a minimum depth of 200mm.
• Ensure the surface is level and parallel to the driveway.

Figure 8: Diagram showing Mounting Plate Dimensions (204±0.3mm x 150mm, with 107mm and 99±0.3mm measurements).

Step 5 - Fitting Mounting Plate and Motor

Without Mounting Plate

• Pre-embed anchor bolts according to holes in motor base before concreting (Figure 9).
• After concrete hardening, bolt the motor with spring and flat washers provided and tighten as required. Height can be adjusted by bottom bolts (Figure 10).

Figure 9: Diagram illustrating pre-embedding anchor bolts into concrete.

Figure 10: Exploded view of bolt assembly (Nut, Spring Washer, Flat Washer, Flat Washer, Nut) used for adjusting motor height.

With Mounting Plate

• Pre-embed anchor bolts as per 10 holes in Figure 8 before concreting. After hardening, place the mounting plate, fit and tighten anchor bolts (Figure 11).
• Bolt motor to the mounting plate using M8 x 40mm bolts with spring and flat washers provided and tighten as required (Figure 12).

Figure 11: Diagram illustrating pre-embedding anchor bolts into concrete with a mounting plate.

Figure 12: Exploded view of bolt assembly (Nut, Spring Washer, Flat Washer, Flat Washer, Nut) used for adjusting motor height with a mounting plate.

Fitting Motor

• Fit motor and mounting plate (if used) on the concrete footing.
• Ensure the motor output gear and gear rack are correctly aligned. They should be centered as much as possible.
• Take the motor away from the mounting plate.

Figure 13: Diagram showing how to mark the corners of the mounting plate using a pencil or chalk, with dimensions 21-17mm and 53-57mm indicated.

Step 6 - Gear Rack & Motor Alignment

• Refer to Figure 15 for recommended gear rack mounting height.
• Ensure the output gear has a minimum clearance of 1-2mm along the entire length of the gear rack (Figure 14).
• Ensure output gear and gear rack are correctly aligned. The gate opener output gear should not carry any weight of the gate; this is the task of the gate castors or wheels (Figure 14).
• If the gate doesn't slide freely by hand, adjust the height of the gear rack accordingly until the full length of the gate slides freely.

Figure 14: Diagram illustrating correct (green checkmark) and incorrect (red X) gear rack alignment, showing a 1-2mm clearance.

Figure 15: Diagram showing the recommended gear rack mounting height, with the output gear and a measurement of 84mm.

Step 7 - Limit Switch Stops

Your gate opener kit includes two limit switch stops that must be fitted to the gear racks for safe operation. These stops define the desired opening and closing positions by contacting the magnetic limit switch.

It is extremely dangerous that without or incorrect installation of the limit switch stops can cause crash of gate, damage of internal structure of the motor, moreover, the gate may slide off the guide rail.

Setting the Limit Switch Stops

Closed Position

• Position the gate 150-200mm back from the gate end catch closed position.
• Fit the limit switch stop onto the top of the gear rack where it meets the magnetic limit switch on the motor.
• Tighten locking screws of the limit switch stop.

Diagram showing the magnetic limit switch and its interaction with the limit switch stop.

Open Position

• Position the gate 150-200mm back from the gate stop open position.
• Fit the limit switch stop onto the top of the gear rack where it meets the magnetic limit switch on the motor.
• Tighten locking screws of the limit switch stop.

Test the spring/magnetic limit switch stops by moving the gate manually until you hear a click, ensuring contact is made with the spring/magnetic limit switch on the motor.

To Reset: Turning the power off will reset the limit switch stop memory. Power on the gate opener again, pressing remote control or external push button switch to open and then close the gate once, then new limit switch stop setting is completed.

Step 8 - Powering on

• Ensure the outer cover has been fitted and fastened back onto the motor base.
• Before powering up, ensure the gate can travel by hand in manual mode (key unlocked).
• Slide the gate to approximately the middle of the posts.
• Lock the manual release spanner (key locked) for automatic mode.
• Plug the power cord into an approved RCD protected weatherproof outlet.
• Remote controls included in this kit are factory paired ready for use.

Figure 16: Illustration of the remote control and the gate positioned for powering on.

Step 9 - Testing Travel and Limit Stops

Testing the Closed Position

• Ensure the gate opener is installed as per steps 5, 6, and 7, and the sliding gate is in the middle position.
• Press the remote (factory paired). The gate will begin to close.
• The limit switch stop will hit the limit switch, and the gate will stop.
• Measure the distance remaining between the gate and the desired closed position.
• Adjust the limit switch stop from this measurement to achieve the final gate closed position. The ideal final position is 10-15mm from the closed gate end catch.

Testing the Open Position

• Press the remote; the gate will begin to open.
• The limit switch stop will hit the limit switch, and the gate will stop.
• Measure the distance remaining between the gate and the desired open position.
• Adjust the limit switch stops from this measurement to achieve the final gate open position. The ideal final position is 10-15mm from the gate stop.

To Reset: When setting new limit stop positions, ensure you turn the power off and then on again. Turning the power off will reset the limit stop memory, allowing for new limit switch stop positions to be recognized by the motor.
