INSTALLATION

PRE-INSTALLATION

GATE STRUCTURE

Recommended Gate Structure:

Confirm that the gate operator being installed is appropriate for the gate type, weight and size. The gate should be mounted and moving freely. There should be a little resistance in the movement of the gate. The gate & post must be suitable for being automated. Check that the structure is sufficiently strong & stable, and that its dimensions and weights conform to those listed in the specifications table of this document. Any worn or damaged gate hardware must be repaired or replaced before installing the gate operator.

Vehicular gates are to be constructed and installed in accordance with the ASTM F2200 contruction standards.

The gate travel distance may vary due to temperature and other environmental factors. we do not recommend the installation of the catch post (FIGURE A). This can cause the gate to collide with the post. We do recommend the installation of guide rollers (FIGURE B & C) on each side of the gate. The gate should be at lease 4” space with the closing wall (FIGURE D).

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

Electrical Requirements:

The M1 is powered by 100V – 120V AC power. If you have not already done so, and you are not using solar, wire a waterproof outlet near the gate following proper safety standards for your area. If you are not licensed and /or experienced with this type of wiring, please hire a professional electrician to perform this as well as connect the M1 power line. Make sure your electrician takes into account the voltage drop involved in running many feet of wire to your installation location. If an insufficient gauge of wire is used, the gate operator may have insufficient power.

The gate operator must be disconnected from the power source before the installation. This also includes all gate operator’s accessories.

Electrician Check-List:

Prepare An Unused 15AMP Breaker Dedicated For Gate Operator Power Source.
Install Electrical Conduit From Electrical Panel To Gate Operator’s Waterproof Outlet.

BACK-UP BATTERY AND SOLAR POWER (OPTIONAL)

Back-up Battery Installation And Wiring Diagram:

M1-DC Package: “Battery Protection Board” and “Back-up Battery” are preinstalled, power connection is required (PAGE 11). Battery ON/OFF switch must be turn ON (PAGE 11 – FIGURE C).

Solar Power Installation And Wiring Diagram:

M1-S Package: “Battery Protection Board” is preinstalled, and the battery extension cable male connector is located outside of the power box. You will need to connect the back-up battery and 2 included solar panels to the circuit board following the below wiring diagram. DO NOT CONNECT THE MAIN POWER TO THE 110V POWER OUTLET IF SOLAR PANEL IS INSTALLED AND CONNECTED.

PHOTOCELL SENSOR INSTALLATION

The photocell sensor is a safety device that prevents the gate from hitting a vehicle or pedestrain when the gate is closing. The photocell sensor emits an invisible retroreflective infrared beam that detects when objects passes through.

Plug the photo-sensor cable to the back of the circuit board box. Refer to “WIRING DIAGRAM” if needed.
Press the reset button on the circuit board to activate the power for the alignment laser.

Use the included mounting brackets to mount the photocell sensor. Keep minimum 21” off from ground.
Press the orange button on the photocell sensor to turn on the alignment laser.
Mount the reflector to the opposite side and make sure it leveled with the photocell sensor. Laser beam must be inside of the laser effective zone (in side the red area (EXCEPT THE LETTER).

Press the orange button on the photo-sensor to turn off the alignment laser.

Primary Photocell Sensor Wiring Diagram:

Photocell Sensor’s LED Indicators:

ON – Relay is power, IR Laser beam is inside reflector’s effective zone (aligned). Signal is Stable.
OFF – Relay is NOT power, or IR Laser beam is out of range or outside of the refector’s effective zone.

Notes:

The photoccell sensor cannot be used for a detection area less than 6 inches.
The default sensor maximum range is 30ft. If you need longer range upgrade to 50ft (CM9-487).
If you need a longer photocell sensor wire, extend it by joining (splicing) with another 20-22 AWG wire.

SECONDARY PHOTOCELL SENSOR (OPTIONAL)

A second photocell sensor can be installed inside the gate to monitor the OPEN cycle.
This secondary photocell sensor goes inside your property, past the gate’s fully open position. If the photocell sensor’s cable isn’t long enough you will need to extend (splice) the wires by joining them with another 20 – 22 AWG wire for the secondary photocell sensor to be able to reach the gate operator input.

Use the same green terminal block input as your primary photocell sensor. Each input can have more than 1 wire inserted. Different model photocell sensors contain 3 or 4 wires.

Secondary Photocell Sensor Wiring Diagram:

VISIBLE AND INVISIBLE LASER IN USE.
DO NOT stare into the laser beam, serious eye damage may occur.

GATE OPENING DIRECTION SETTINGS

Determine which direction your gate opens when VIEWED FROM THE INSIDE:

GATE OPEN TO THE LEFT SIDE: Dip Switch Number 6 (FIGURE A) is OFF
GATE OPEN TO THE RIGHT SIDE: Dip Switch Number 6 (FIGURE B) is ON

OPEN AND CLOSE LIMITS ADJUSTMENTS

The Open And Close Limit Adjustment:

Click the “OPEN” button on main circuit board to move the gate to the desired open position. Once gate is within 1ft, click the “STOP” button.

Pull and hold the “LIMIT LOCK PLATE” outwards. Turn the “OPEN LIMIT WHEEL” until it touch the open limit switch arm and activated (see below diagram for open direction). Release the “LIMIT LOCK PLATE” and make sure both limit wheels are locked.
Click the “CLOSE” button on main circuit board and close the gate to half then click “STOP”. Click the “OPEN” button again to open the gate and check if it in the desired position. Make fine adjustments (step 2 and 3) if needed until achived the desired open position.
Repeat step 1, 2, and 3 on the desired close position.

Click the “RESET” button once finished and let the circuit board finish study the new travel limit (gate will move very slow). Once it is successfuly learn the new travel limit, gate will give 2 alarm beep sound.

OPEN AND CLOSE (ERD) FORCE ADJUSTMENTS

The Electronic Reversing Device (ERD) is a feature on the circuit board which detects when the gate comes in contact with an obstruction, causing the gate to reverse. These are the 2 blue knobs on the circuit board. The open and close knobs determine the amount of force required to reverse the gate (FIGURE A). We generally recommend leaving the knob at 50. you may adjust the positions based on your particular gate. If the gate reverses without touching an obstruction, the ERD is set too low. if the gate does not reverse when it hits an obstruction, the ERD is set too high.

NOTICE – Test ERD every 6 months.

Default 50 – 50 is the default ERD force and is suitable for most gate.
Turn Left (Counter Clockwise) – Less force required to stop the gate.
Turn Right (Clockwise) – More force required to stop the gate.

Obstruction Test:

Place a light object (ex. chair or trast can) between the open gate and the post.

Close the gate. the gate should stop and reverse when it touches the object. if the gate does not reverse when it touches the object, press the STOP button on the circuit board. Reduce the ERD force by turning the CLOSE ERD knob counter clockwise.
Do the same test again for the open direction.
Test the gate operator after any adjustments are made.

Never increase force beyond the minimum amount required to move the gate. TOO MUCH force could result in serious injure or kill.
Never use force adjustments to compensate for a improperly installed, improperly maintained, or a damaged gate. The gate must normally move freely with no obstructions.

the ERD must be tested after making any changes. the gate must reserve when it come in contact with an object.

DIP SWITCH FEATURES

There are 8 dip switches located at the bottom of the circuit board (FIGURE A). Each switch controls a different feature of the gate operator.

BLUE KNOB “SPEED” (SLOW-STOP SPEED ADJUSTMENT) – Turn left to increases the slow-stop speed and turn right to decreases (FIGURE D).

EMERGENCY RELEASE LOCK

The emergency release lock allow you to open and close the gate manually, in cases during a power outage and there is no other electricity available. Follow the below guide to unlock your gate emergency release:

Turn the “M1 SERIES” Circle to access to the “EMERGENCY RELEASE” lock and “RESET” button.

A fire access box is a safety device designed to provide emergency responders with quick and easy access to gate controls during a fire or other emergencies. Installed near the gate, it typically contains a manual release mechanism or key to override automated gate systems, ensuring that first responders can open the gate without delay. This is especially crucial for gated communities, secure facilities, or areas where the gate might be otherwise difficult to access in an emergency. Fire access boxes help enhance safety and ensure smooth emergency operations.

MAGNETIC GATE LOCK

A Magnetic Lock is an access control solution that uses electromagnetic forces to securely hold a gate in place. When activated, the magnet creates a strong bond between the gate and the frame, preventing unauthorized access. Magnetic locks are commonly used in automated gate systems for residential, commercial, and industrial properties due to their reliability, ease of use, and ability to integrate with electronic access systems. They offer a high level of security, ensuring gates remain closed until the proper access signal is given.
