1. Introduction and Overview
The Motorline GALO 36V DC brushless motor is engineered for super-intensive use, delivering high performance and speed for sliding gates weighing up to 2200 kg. Its advanced brushless design combined with a grease-lubricated gearbox ensures reliable and efficient operation even under demanding conditions. A native encoder provides precise control over the gate's position, enabling accurate decelerations and smooth reversals of movement. This system is also compatible with an optional MBAT26V2000 / KMBAT26GALO-600 battery kit (not included) for backup power.
2. Safety Information
WARNING: Improper installation or use can lead to serious injury or property damage. Read all instructions carefully before installation and operation.
- Installation must be performed by qualified personnel in compliance with local electrical and safety regulations.
- Disconnect power before performing any maintenance or service.
- Keep hands, feet, and loose clothing away from moving parts of the gate and motor.
- Ensure photocells are correctly installed and functioning to prevent the gate from closing on obstructions.
- Do not allow children to play with or operate the gate controls.
- Regularly inspect the gate system for signs of wear, damage, or misalignment.

4. Setup and Installation
4.1 Mechanical Installation
Mount the motor securely on a stable, level surface adjacent to the sliding gate. Ensure the motor's pinion gear aligns correctly with the gate's rack. Refer to the dimensional drawing for proper spacing and clearances.
This technical drawing provides the dimensions of the GALO automatic gate system in millimeters. It includes front, side, and top views with labeled measurements (A-M) and a corresponding table for the GALO 2200 model, showing values like A=202mm, B=344mm, C=275mm, D=84mm, E=58mm, F=162.5mm, G=202mm, H=166mm, I=36mm, J=165mm, L=346mm, M=285mm.
4.2 Electrical Connections
Connect the main power supply (110Vac/230Vac) to the MC91BL-SC control unit. Connect the 36V DC motor to the control unit. Install the MF30 photocells according to their specific instructions, ensuring they are correctly wired to the control unit for safety. Refer to the internal component diagram for an overview of the motor's structure.
This diagram illustrates the internal structure of the GALO motor. Key components highlighted include the electronic control unit, transformer, mechanical limit switch, cover fixing area, aluminum structure, and the toothed pinion for gate movement.
4.3 Control Unit Programming
The MC91BL-SC control unit requires programming to set gate travel limits, operating modes, and remote control pairing. Consult the detailed manual provided with the control unit for specific programming steps. The native encoder assists in precise position control during this process.
5. Operating Instructions
Once installed and programmed, the gate motor can be operated using the Falk remote controls. Pressing the designated button on the remote will initiate the gate's opening or closing cycle. The system's encoder ensures smooth acceleration, deceleration, and precise stopping at the programmed limits. In case of power failure, the motor features a manual release mechanism, typically accessed via a key or lever on the motor unit, allowing the gate to be moved manually.

6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your GALO sliding gate motor system.
- Monthly: Inspect the gate's movement for any obstructions or unusual noises. Check the photocells for cleanliness and proper alignment.
- Quarterly: Verify the security of all mounting bolts and electrical connections. Ensure the gate rack is free of debris.
- Annually: Have a qualified technician inspect the motor and gearbox. The gearbox is grease-lubricated and generally maintenance-free, but professional inspection is recommended. Check the condition of the gate wheels and tracks.
- Keep the motor housing clean and free from dust and moisture.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your GALO sliding gate motor, consider the following common problems and solutions:
- Gate not moving: Check if the power supply is connected and active. Ensure the manual release is not engaged. Verify remote control battery and signal.
- Gate stops unexpectedly: Check photocells for obstructions or misalignment. Inspect the gate path for physical impediments.
- Remote control not working: Replace remote battery. Re-pair the remote control with the MC91BL-SC control unit (refer to control unit manual).
- Unusual noises: Inspect the gate rack and motor pinion for debris or wear. Check gate wheels and tracks.
For persistent issues, contact a qualified technician or Motorline support.
