5. Setup and Installation

Installation should be performed according to the detailed instructions provided in the included user manual (physical copy) and by following all local electrical and safety codes. Professional installation is recommended if you are not familiar with electrical wiring or gate opener systems.

5.1 Site Preparation

  • Ensure the gate slides smoothly and freely before installing the opener.
  • A strong, level concrete base is essential for mounting the gate opener securely. The base must be robust enough to withstand the forces exerted by the gate operation.
  • Plan the routing for power cables and sensor wires to ensure they are protected and do not interfere with gate movement.

5.2 Mounting the Opener

  • Mount the opener securely to the prepared concrete base using appropriate anchors.
  • Attach the chain to the gate, ensuring proper tension and alignment with the opener's sprocket.

5.3 Sensor and Limit Switch Installation

  • Install the infrared photocell sensor pair across the gate opening. Ensure they are aligned and free from obstructions. This sensor is crucial for safety.
  • Install the magnetic limit switches at the desired open and closed positions of the gate. These magnets signal the opener to stop the gate's movement. You may need to fabricate custom brackets to ensure optimal positioning and reliable tripping of the switches, especially if your gate has slight wobble.

The gate opener features an adjustable automatic close function. You can set the delay for automatic closing to 12 seconds, 24 seconds, 36 seconds, or disable the function entirely. Refer to the detailed programming instructions in the physical manual for setting this feature.

6.3 Manual Release

In case of a power outage or system malfunction, the gate can be operated manually. Insert the manual release key into the lock on the motor unit and turn it to disengage the motor. This allows you to push the gate open or closed by hand. Remember to re-engage the motor once power is restored or the issue is resolved.

7. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and reliable operation of your GATEXPERT AT1350 gate opener.

  • Monthly: Inspect the gate for smooth operation. Lubricate gate wheels and hinges if necessary. Check the chain for proper tension and lubrication.
  • Quarterly: Clean the infrared sensor lenses to ensure clear signal transmission. Check all electrical connections for tightness and signs of wear.
  • Annually: Inspect the mounting hardware for corrosion or looseness. Verify the functionality of the safety features, including the infrared sensor and the motor's overheating protection.
  • Keep the area around the motor unit clear of debris, leaves, and pests.
