PEDESTAL MOUNT
Some points to remember:
•
Measurements given for the mounting positions are guidelines only and should be used as
such.
•
Each installation will vary slightly.
•
To establish the correct position of the operators they should be held temporarily in position
with the crank arms loose on the shaft, the gates can then be opened and closed by hand to
ensure that they are in the correct position.
•
For a Pedestal Mount the pedestal must be placed in the centre of a hole 400mm square
and the hole then filled with concrete. The concrete must be set completely before the opera-
tors are mounted on the pedestals.
•
When wall mounts are to be used, the wall mount should be mounted using coach screws and
plugs.
•
In certain cases such as outward swing on wall mounts, the wall mount may need to be al-
tered in order to make the wall mount completely secure on the wall.. (see pg 15).
When outward swing gates are setup the operators will protrude into the driveway by 155mm
on each side of the driveway. Any attempt to mount the operators in any other manner will
cause operational problems with the gates.

OTHER FUNCTIONS
PARTY MODE: or Auto-close override. This function is normally used when higher than normal traffic
volumes are expected and one does not wish to repeatedly open the gate.
To operate the party mode set up, push and hold the gate’s trigger button until the gate starts to open.
Release the trigger. The gate will now stay open until it is reset into normal operating mode.
To reset the gate into normal operating mode, push the gate’s trigger button twice within three seconds.
The gate will now operate as normal.
OVERCURRENT SENSING: the PC Board is designed to detect overcurrents. This means that if the gate
hits an object or is obstructed it will see an increase in the current and the gates will stop driving.
The results of the detected overcurrent will be different depending on what the gate is doing at the time of
the overcurrent.
•
If the gate is closing and an overcurrent is detected the gate will stop and then re-open.
•
If the gate is opening and an overcurrent is detected, the gate will stop and will not move until it
receives another trigger or the auto-close time is reached.
•
If the gate senses an overcurrent 5 times in succession, the gate will stop working regardless of
any trigger. To reset the gate the AC power must be disconnected for 5 seconds then recon-
nected. The gate will operate as normal as long as the obstruction has been removed.
Setting the overcurrent sensitivity:
The sensitivity can be adjusted dependent on gate’s requirements. It must be noted that if the sensitivity
is set too low, the gate will drive harder when an obstruction is encountered increasing the risk of injury or
damage to a vehicle/object. Before adjusting the sensitivity check that the gate is operating correctly i.e.
look for hinges that are rusted, branches or garden growth hindering operation etc.
There are two POTs found on the PC Board. One pot is to set the open sensitivity and the other is to set
the close sensitivity.
To decrease sensitivity (usually because a heavier gate is being automated or due to wear and tear over
time) use a small flathead screwdriver and turn the pot clockwise. The adjustment should be done in very
small increments, until the desired sensitivity is achieved. Use extreme caution when setting the pots as
this can cause severe injury or damage if the sensitivity is set too low.
To increase sensitivity (usually because a very light gate is being automated) turn the pot anti-clockwise.
Take care not to set the pot too sensitive as this may cause the gate to overcurrent due to other external
forces such as wind etc.
