- Motor Unit: The core irreversible electromechanical operator.
- Foundation Box: A robust casing for underground installation of the motor unit.
- Release Mechanism: For manual operation in case of power failure.
- Control Board (Sold Separately): Manages the motor's functions and safety features.
- Remote Controls (Sold Separately): For wireless operation.
- Safety Photocells (Sold Separately): Detect obstacles in the gate's path.
4. Setup and Installation
Installation of the Entre 24-400 motor requires careful planning and adherence to the following steps. Consult the detailed wiring diagrams provided with the control board for electrical connections.
- Site Preparation: Excavate the necessary space for the foundation box at the gate's pivot point. Ensure proper drainage.
- Foundation Box Installation: Securely embed the foundation box in concrete, ensuring it is level and aligned with the gate's hinge axis. Allow concrete to cure completely.
- Motor Unit Placement: Carefully place the Entre 24-400 motor unit into the foundation box.
- Mechanical Connection: Connect the motor's output shaft to the gate leaf using the appropriate mechanical arm and mounting brackets. Ensure smooth, unhindered movement of the gate.
- Electrical Connections: Route all necessary electrical cables (power, control, safety devices) to the motor unit and the control board. Connect according to the control board's specific wiring diagram. Ensure all connections are secure and insulated.
- Limit Switch Adjustment: Adjust the mechanical or electronic limit switches to define the gate's open and closed positions accurately.
- Safety Device Connection: Connect and test all safety devices, such as photocells and safety edges, to ensure they function correctly.
- Initial Testing: Perform initial tests of the gate's movement, checking for smooth operation, correct opening/closing, and proper functioning of safety features.
5. Operating Instructions
Once installed and configured, the KING GATES Entre 24-400 motor provides automated gate operation. Operation is typically managed via a control board and remote controls.
- Standard Operation: Pressing the designated button on your remote control or wall switch will initiate the gate's opening or closing cycle. A second press during movement will typically stop the gate.
- Partial Opening (Pedestrian Mode): If configured, a specific button on the remote may open the gate partially for pedestrian access.
- Manual Release: In case of power failure or malfunction, locate the manual release mechanism on the motor unit (usually accessible via a key or lever). Engage the release to manually open or close the gate. Remember to re-engage the mechanism for automatic operation.
- Safety Stop: The gate will automatically stop or reverse if an obstacle is detected by the safety photocells during closing.
Note: No official product videos are available from the seller for this model.
6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and reliable operation of your KING GATES Entre 24-400 motor. Perform these checks periodically:
- Visual Inspection (Monthly): Check for any visible signs of wear, corrosion, or damage to the motor unit, foundation box, mechanical arm, and cables.
- Cleaning (Quarterly): Keep the foundation box free of debris, leaves, and water to prevent blockages and corrosion. Ensure drainage is clear.
- Lubrication (Annually): Lubricate moving mechanical parts of the gate and the motor's arm connection points as recommended by the manufacturer (refer to specific product documentation for lubricant type).
- Safety Device Test (Monthly): Test the functionality of photocells and other safety devices by intentionally obstructing their path during gate operation. The gate should stop or reverse.
- Electrical Connections (Annually): With power disconnected, check all electrical connections for tightness and signs of corrosion.
7. Troubleshooting
Below are common issues and their potential solutions. If the problem persists, contact a qualified technician.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Gate does not move. | No power; manual release engaged; faulty remote; safety device activated. | Check power supply; disengage manual release; check remote battery; clear safety device path. |
| Gate stops mid-cycle. | Obstruction detected by safety photocells; motor overheating; limit switch issue. | Remove obstruction; allow motor to cool; check limit switch settings. |
| Gate opens/closes partially. | Limit switches incorrectly set; mechanical obstruction. | Adjust limit switches; check for physical obstructions in gate path. |
| Remote control not working. | Dead battery; out of range; remote not programmed. | Replace battery; move closer to receiver; reprogram remote as per control board manual. |
