Setup and Installation
The installation process is designed to be straightforward, typically involving three main steps: mechanical installation, electrical connection, and programming.
Image: A visual guide illustrating the three quick installation steps: 1. Mechanical installation of the motors to the gate and pillars, 2. Electrical connection of the components to the control box and power, and 3. Programming and synchronization of the system.
1. Mechanical Installation
Securely mount the two worm motors to your swing gate and its supporting pillars using the provided mounting feet and screws. Ensure the motors are level and aligned correctly to allow for smooth gate movement. Refer to the detailed diagrams in the included paper manual for precise measurements and positioning.

2. Electrical Connection
Connect the motors, flashing light, and any optional accessories (like photocells) to the electronic control box. Then, connect the control box to a suitable AC power source (12 Volts). It is highly recommended that this step be performed by a qualified electrician to ensure safety and compliance with electrical codes.

3. Programming and Synchronization
Once mechanical and electrical installations are complete, program the system using the control box and remote controls. This involves teaching the system the gate's travel limits and synchronizing the remote controls. Follow the specific programming steps detailed in the full instruction manual to set up features such as inward/outward opening, partial opening, slow-down stop, and automatic closing.

Operating Instructions
The OneGate1 system offers versatile operation modes for your convenience.
- Remote Control Operation: Use the provided remote controls to open and close the gate. Each button can be programmed for different functions (e.g., full open, partial open).
- Total Opening: Opens both gate leaves completely.
- Partial Opening: Opens only one gate leaf, useful for pedestrian access.
- Inward/Outward Opening: The system supports both inward and outward opening configurations, set during programming.
- Slow Down Stop: The gate will automatically slow down before reaching its fully open or closed position, ensuring smooth operation.
- Automatic Closing: If enabled, the gate will automatically close after a set period of time.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and reliable operation of your gate automation system.
- Monthly: Check for any obstructions in the gate's path. Clean the motors and moving parts to remove dirt and debris.
- Quarterly: Inspect all mounting points and fasteners for tightness. Lubricate moving parts as recommended in the detailed manual.
- Annually: Have a qualified technician inspect the electrical connections and overall system performance.
Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your OneGate1 system.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Gate does not respond to remote control. | No power; remote battery low; remote not programmed; obstruction. | Check power supply; replace remote battery; re-program remote; clear obstructions. |
| Gate opens partially or stops unexpectedly. | Obstruction detected; travel limits not set correctly; motor issue. | Remove obstruction; re-program travel limits; contact support if motor issue persists. |
| Remote control range is poor. | Interference; antenna position; remote battery low. | Check for sources of interference; adjust antenna on control box; replace remote battery. |
| Flashing light does not operate. | Incorrect wiring; faulty bulb/LED; control box issue. | Verify wiring connections; check bulb/LED; consult manual for control box diagnostics. |
