5. Setup and Installation

Proper installation is crucial for the safe and reliable operation of your gate opener. It is recommended that installation be performed by a professional.

5.1 Pre-Installation Checks

• Ensure the gate slides smoothly and freely by hand.
• Verify the gate is structurally sound and capable of supporting the opener's weight and forces.
• Confirm the installation area is level and provides adequate space for the opener and its components.
• Plan the electrical wiring route to ensure safety and compliance with local regulations.

5.2 Mounting the Motor Unit

1. Choose a stable, level mounting surface near the gate. The motor unit should be positioned so its gear aligns with the gate's gear rack.
2. Securely fasten the motor unit to the mounting surface using appropriate bolts and anchors. Ensure it is firmly fixed and cannot move.

5.3 Installing Gear Racks

1. Attach the gear racks along the bottom edge of the sliding gate. Ensure the racks are level and parallel to the ground.
2. Maintain a small clearance (approx. 1-2mm) between the motor's gear and the rack to allow for smooth operation and prevent binding.
3. Securely fasten each section of the gear rack to the gate.

5.4 Wiring and Electrical Connections

All electrical work must be performed by a certified electrician.

• Connect the main power supply to the motor unit according to the wiring diagram provided in the full product manual (not included here).
• Install the infrared sensors (photocells) on opposite sides of the gate opening, ensuring they are aligned and the beam is unobstructed. These sensors detect objects in the gate's path, preventing closure.
• Connect the infrared sensors to the motor unit's control board.
• Optional: Connect other safety accessories such as warning lights or additional safety edges.

6.2 Automatic Closing Function

The gate opener can be set to close automatically after a preset time (15s, 30s, or 45s). This feature is configured during installation or through the control board settings.

6.3 Infrared Sensor Safety

The infrared sensors detect obstructions in the gate's path. If the beam is broken while the gate is closing, the gate will stop and reverse direction to prevent impact.

6.4 Manual Operation (Emergency Release)

In case of power failure or malfunction, the gate can be operated manually:

1. Locate the emergency release lock on the motor unit.
2. Insert the emergency release key and turn it to disengage the motor.
3. The gate can now be pushed open or closed by hand.
4. To re-engage the motor, turn the key back to its original position and remove it.

• Monthly: Inspect the gate's movement. Ensure it slides freely without excessive friction. Check for any loose bolts or connections on the motor unit and gear racks.
• Quarterly: Clean the infrared sensors to ensure an unobstructed beam. Check the condition of the gear rack teeth for wear or damage. Lubricate moving parts of the gate (e.g., rollers, hinges) as recommended by the gate manufacturer.
• Annually: Have a qualified technician inspect the entire system, including electrical connections, motor performance, and safety features.
