General Installation Steps (Consult full installation manual for detailed instructions):

1. Mount the Base Plate: Securely attach the operator's base plate to a concrete foundation, ensuring it is level and correctly aligned with the gate's path.

3. Mount the Operator: Place the LineaMatic H2 operator onto the base plate and secure it.
4. Electrical Connections: Connect the power supply and any safety devices (photocells, warning lights) according to the wiring diagram provided in the comprehensive manual. Ensure power is disconnected during wiring.
