Specifications

Key technical specifications for the PKM-B01 Automatic Swing Gate Motor Opener:

Setup and Installation

Careful planning and precise installation are crucial for the optimal performance and longevity of your gate opener. Ensure the gate itself is in good working condition, swinging freely without obstruction, before beginning installation.

1. Site Preparation

• Verify that your gate meets the maximum width (2.5M / 8.2 feet per leaf) and weight (250 KGS / 551 lbs per leaf) specifications.
• Ensure adequate space for the motor units and swing arms to operate without obstruction.
• Plan for electrical wiring to the control box and motor units (AC powered).

2. Mounting the Motor Units

The motor units should be securely mounted to a stable surface adjacent to the gate posts. The exact mounting position is critical for proper gate operation and opening angle.

• Refer to Figure 2 for precise measurements regarding the placement of the gate opener relative to the gate's closed position and the center of the gate hinge.
• The diagram indicates a maximum single gate width of 2.5M.
• The distance from the gate closed position to the center of the gate hinge should be within 400-420MM.
• The distance from the gate hinge to the gate opener mounting point should be within 250-280MM.
• The height of the gate opener mounting point should be approximately 80MM from the bottom edge of the gate.
• Use the provided mounting hardware to secure the motor units firmly.

3. Attaching the Swing Arms

Connect the curved folding arms to the motor units and the gate frame. Ensure the arms move freely and are not obstructed.

4. Electrical Connections

• Connect the motor unit cables to the control box according to the wiring diagram (refer to the specific wiring diagram provided with your kit, not shown here).

3. Set the high speed running time: Configures the duration the gate operates at full speed.
4. Set the auto close time after swipe card: Defines the delay before the gate automatically closes after a card swipe (if a card reader is connected).
5. Set the interval time: Adjusts the delay between the opening of the first and second gate leaf (for dual gate operation).
6. Set auto close time: Configures the delay before the gate automatically closes after opening.
7. Set lamp/alarm output control: Manages the operation of connected warning lights or alarms.
8. Set lock time: Adjusts the time for an electric lock to engage or disengage.
9. Choose single/double gate open: Selects whether one or both gate leaves open.
10. Choose photocell work in NC or NO: Configures the safety photocells to operate in Normally Closed (NC) or Normally Open (NO) mode.

Refer to the detailed programming guide included with your control box for specific steps on accessing and modifying these settings.
