Setup
The installation process involves three main steps: mechanical installation, electrical connection, and programming/synchronization.
Image: A visual representation of the three quick installation steps: 1. Mechanical installation, 2. Electrical connection, and 3. Programming and synchronization.
1. Mechanical Installation
Mount the motors to your swing gate and pillars using the provided mounting lugs. Ensure the gate is within the specified dimensions (up to 3m wide and 300kg per leaf). Proper alignment is crucial for smooth operation.

Refer to the included diagram for optimal mounting angles and distances to ensure the actuators operate with minimal stress. The system is designed for gates up to 1.5m wide and 150kg per leaf, or 3m wide and 300kg total for a double gate.
2. Electrical Connection
Connect the motors and power supply to the electronic control box. Follow the wiring diagram provided in the detailed manual (not included in this summary). Ensure all connections are secure and insulated. The system operates on 24V.
3. Programming and Synchronization
Once mechanical and electrical installations are complete, program the control unit and synchronize the remote controls. This typically involves a learning procedure where the system records the gate's opening and closing limits. Refer to the detailed manual for specific programming steps, including setting pedestrian opening and automatic closing functions.
Operating Instructions
Your SCS Sentinel SCS1 kit offers convenient and reliable gate operation.
Remote Control Operation
Image: A close-up view of the two 4-channel rolling code remote controls included with the kit.
- Press the designated button on your 4-channel remote control to open or close the gate.
- A second press during operation will stop the gate. A third press will reverse its direction.
- The remote controls can be programmed for full opening or partial (pedestrian) opening.
Automatic Closing
If photocells are installed and configured, the gate can be set to close automatically after a set delay once it has fully opened. This feature enhances security and convenience.
Obstacle Detection
The system is equipped with obstacle detection. If the gate encounters an obstruction during closing, it will stop and reverse direction to prevent damage or injury.
Manual Override
In case of power failure or system malfunction, the motors can be manually disengaged using the provided hexagonal keys. This allows the gate to be opened or closed by hand.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your gate motorization system.
- Monthly: Inspect the gate for any physical obstructions, ensure hinges are lubricated, and check that the gate moves freely.
- Quarterly: Clean the motor actuators and control box to prevent dust and debris buildup. Check all mounting points for tightness.
- Annually: Have a qualified technician inspect the electrical connections and overall system for wear and tear.
- Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents on any components.
Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter. For more complex problems, consult a qualified technician.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Gate does not respond to remote. | No power; remote battery low; remote not programmed; obstruction. | Check power supply; replace remote battery; re-program remote; clear obstructions. |
| Gate stops mid-operation. | Obstruction detected; motor overload; faulty sensor. | Remove obstruction; check gate movement for friction; inspect sensors. |
| Gate opens partially. | Pedestrian mode activated; limit switch issue. | Check remote button pressed; re-calibrate limit switches. |
| Unusual noise during operation. | Lack of lubrication; loose components; motor wear. | Lubricate hinges/moving parts; tighten fasteners; contact support if noise persists. |
