5. Setup and Installation
Proper installation is crucial for the performance and safety of your gate motorization system. It is highly recommended that installation be carried out by a qualified professional.
5.1 Pre-Installation Checks
- Ensure your gate is in good working condition, moves freely, and is properly balanced.
- Verify that the gate structure can support the weight and forces exerted by the motorization system.
- Confirm that there is adequate space for the articulated arms to operate without obstruction.
5.2 Motor Mounting
The motors must be securely mounted to the gate pillars or posts. Refer to the diagrams below for critical dimensions and positioning.

5.3 Electrical Connections
All electrical wiring should be performed by a certified electrician. Ensure the power supply is disconnected before making any connections. Refer to the wiring diagram provided in the full installation manual for specific details on connecting the motors, flashing lamp, and control unit.
5.4 Initial Learning / Programming
After installation, the system requires an initial learning phase to calibrate the gate's travel limits. For this initial learning, it is advised to position the gate leaves at half-open, not fully closed. Starting with the gate fully closed may cause the motor to block due to excessive force during the first maneuver. Follow the specific programming steps outlined in the comprehensive installation guide for your control unit.
6. Operating Instructions
6.1 Remote Control Operation
The system includes two 4-button remote controls for convenient operation. The remote controls have an effective range of up to 100 meters, depending on environmental conditions.
- Pressing a designated button on the remote control will initiate the gate opening or closing sequence.
- A second press during operation will typically stop the gate.
- A third press will reverse the gate's direction.
6.2 Automatic and Semi-Automatic Closure
The Avidsen Orane 400 offers flexible closure options:
- Automatic Closure: The gate can be configured to close automatically after a pre-set time delay once it has fully opened.
- Semi-Automatic Closure: The gate will close only when a command is given via the remote control or other access device.

7. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and reliable operation of your gate motorization system.
- Monthly Inspection: Check all moving parts, hinges, and mounting points for signs of wear, corrosion, or looseness.
- Cleaning: Keep the motors and articulated arms clean from dirt, dust, and debris. Avoid using high-pressure washers directly on electrical components.
- Lubrication: Periodically lubricate the gate hinges and any moving mechanical joints as recommended by the gate manufacturer. Do not lubricate the motor's internal components unless specifically instructed.
- Obstacle Detection Test: Regularly test the obstacle detection feature by placing a soft, non-damaging object in the gate's path during closure. The gate should stop and reverse.
- Remote Control Batteries: Replace remote control batteries as needed.
8. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Avidsen Orane 400 system, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:
- Gate Not Responding to Remote:
- Check remote control battery.
- Ensure you are within the operating range.
- Verify that the control unit has power.
- Gate Stops During Operation:
- Check for any physical obstructions in the gate's path. The obstacle detection system may have activated.
- Inspect the gate for mechanical issues (e.g., stiff hinges, ground friction).
- Gate Does Not Close Fully/Opens Partially:
- The travel limits may need to be re-programmed. Refer to the programming section of the full manual.
- Ensure there are no obstructions preventing full closure.
- Flashing Lamp Not Working:
- Check the lamp's power connection and bulb (if replaceable).
If these steps do not resolve the issue, contact customer support or a qualified technician.
