4.3. Installing the Gear Rack
Attach the gear rack sections along the bottom edge of the sliding gate. Ensure the rack is level and maintains proper engagement with the motor's output gear throughout the gate's full travel range. Leave a small gap (approx. 1-2mm) between the gear rack and the motor gear to prevent binding.
4.4. Electrical Connections
Connect the power supply, safety photocells, warning light, and any other accessories to the control board inside the motor unit. Follow the wiring diagram provided in the detailed installation manual (not included in this overview). Ensure all connections are secure and properly insulated.
4.5. Programming Remote Controls
Refer to the specific instructions for programming the remote controls to the motor unit. This typically involves pressing a programming button on the control board and then a button on the remote control.
