Steps 1-5 Installation

Step 1: Unpack Components

Take out each of the items included in the sales kit.

Note: Low voltage sales kit MGSK600-LV includes gate transformer (MGTR1-96VA).

• Opener (MGS600 or MGS600-LV)
• Instruction Manual
• 4m Slide Gate Rack
• 2 x Release Keys
• 2 x 4 Channel Transmitters
• Base Mounting Plate
• 2 x Limit Switch Brackets
• 2 x Housing Screws
• Quick Reference Guide
• 4 x M8 x 80mm Masonry Anchors
• 4 x M8 x 40mm Bolts with hexagon nuts & plain washer
• Gate Transformer 240V-24V 96VA MGTR1-96VA

Step 2: Installing the Base Mounting Plate

1. Position the base mounting plate as required, referring to the planning section (figure 1).
2. Mark and drill the four masonry anchor holes (figure 2).

Note: Position the power cord through the base mounting plate before mounting the base plate.

3. Mount the base mounting plate to the ground or concrete pad using the four masonry anchors provided.

Note: Ensure the base mounting plate is orientated in the correct way. The arrow on the base mounting plate needs to be set towards the gate.

Step 3: Gate Rack Mounting

1. Manually move the gate into OPEN position.
2. The nylon rack can be attached with screws. Put the first rack segment at the end of the gate so that it rests on the opener drive sprocket (figure 1) and attach the rack to the gate (figure 2).
3. Move the gate and attach the next rack segment near to the previous segment. Proceed this way until you will reach complete CLOSED position.

Note: If the rack is already fixed to gate, it may be required to adjust the height of the gate opener to ensure correct engagement of the drive gear with the gate rack.

Step 4: Installing the Limit Switch Brackets

1. Position the limit switch brackets in the approximate open and close positions on the rack. Loosely attach the brackets to the rack. The magnets are marked "L" and "R". L positioned on the left of the rack, while R is positioned on the right of the rack when looking from inside the property. When attaching the brackets, ensure that the magnets are 12mm to 20mm from the limit switch sensor on the opener.
2. Place the housing cover over the opener and move the gate manually to the open and close positions to ensure that the limit switch brackets do not come into contact with the gate structures or the gate opener. Position the magnets so that they will align with the sensor mounted on the opener when the gate is approximately 10mm from the OPEN or CLOSED position. This will allow for the Basic Setup to be completed without the gate hitting the stops too hard.

Note: After Basic Setup, fine tuning of the Limit Switch Mounting Brackets to allow the gate to open and close fully.

Step 5: Disengagement of the Manual Release

1. Remove the small front plastic cover from the operator.
2. Put the key into keyhole and turn right.
3. Pull the lever down.

Note: To re-engage the opener follow the procedure in reverse.

Install Entrapment Devices

The Protector System™ (IR Beams) (Optional)

Note: Merlin strongly recommends that The Protector System™ (IR Beams) be installed on all gate openers. Compatible Protector System™ (IR Beams) are 772ANZ and GPS15 Monitored Safety Beams.

The Protector System™ (IR Beams) can be configured to function differently when connected to IR1, IR2 or IR3 inputs.

1. Connect the Protector System™ (IR Beams) to IR1/GND or IR2/GND and or IR3/GND.
2. The IR Beams can be configured to monitor in the open or close direction or both (see section 23 IR Behaviour).
3. The IR Beams will automatically learn to the opener after they have been connected and are default to monitor the close direction.
4. If you need to remove the IRs, you will need to unlearn them from the opener. This is done by switching off the mains power off and on again twice.

Edge Sensor

The Edge sensor can only be connected to the Edge inputs.

1. Remove the 8.2k resistor from the Edge inputs.
2. Connect the 8.2k compatible edge sensor to the Edge inputs.
