4. Setup and Installation
Installation of the CAME ATS 8K01MP-023 kit requires technical expertise and should be performed by a qualified installer. The following steps outline the general process:
4.1. Pre-Installation Checks
- Ensure the gate structure is sound and moves freely without obstruction.
- Verify the gate dimensions and weight are within the system's specifications (max 3m length, 400kg weight per leaf).
- Confirm the maximum C-dimension (distance from hinge to motor mounting point) does not exceed 200 mm. Refer to the technical drawing for precise measurements.

4.3. Control Panel and Electrical Connections
- Install the IP54 wall-mounted box and secure the control panel inside.
- Perform all necessary electrical connections to the motors, power supply, photocells, and flashing light. Refer to the control panel's wiring diagram (not included in this kit, typically found in the control panel manual).
- Insert the plug-in radio frequency card into the designated slot on the control panel.
4.4. Photocell Installation
- Mount the outdoor photocells at appropriate heights on either side of the gate opening to create a safety beam. Ensure they are aligned correctly for optimal obstacle detection.

4.6. Programming and Testing
- Power on the system. Use the control panel's display for initial programming and configuration of gate travel limits, operating modes, and safety features.
- Program the 4-channel remote control using its self-learning function to operate the gate.
- Thoroughly test all safety devices, including photocells and obstacle detection, to ensure they function correctly before regular use.
5. Operating Instructions
5.1. Normal Operation
- To open or close the gate, press the corresponding button on the 4-channel remote control.
- The flashing light will activate during gate movement.
- The system's obstacle detection will stop or reverse the gate if an obstruction is detected in its path.

5.2. Manual Release
In case of a power outage or system malfunction, the gate can be operated manually using the release mechanism on the motor.
- Locate the manual release key or lever on the motor unit.
- Follow the instructions provided with the motor for engaging the manual release. This typically involves inserting a key and turning it, or pulling a lever.
- Once released, the gate can be pushed open or closed by hand.
- To re-engage automatic operation, reverse the manual release procedure.

6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your CAME ATS gate automation system. It is recommended to have the system inspected by a qualified technician at least once a year.
- Visual Inspection: Periodically check all components (motors, hinges, photocells, flashing light, wiring) for signs of wear, damage, or corrosion.
- Cleanliness: Keep photocell lenses clean and free from dirt, dust, or spiderwebs to ensure proper functioning.
- Gate Movement: Ensure the gate moves freely and smoothly without excessive friction or noise. Lubricate hinges if necessary.
- Safety Device Testing: Regularly test the photocells and obstacle detection system by placing an object in the gate's path during operation. The gate should stop or reverse.
- Control Board Diagnostics: The control board features self-diagnosis safety devices. Consult the control panel manual for interpreting diagnostic codes or indicators.
