IMPORTANT ADVICE: THESE INSTRUCTIONS ESSENTIALLY DESCRIBE THE INSTALLATION OF THE MGA600 DRIVE WITH THE ACCES-

SORY ARM ART-3, FOR INSTALLATION ON A SWING GATE

IF THE ART-1 FOLDING GATE ARM OR THE SPACE-SAVING ART-2 GATE ARM ARE INSTALLED IT IS ESSENTIAL TO FOLLOW THE IN-

STRUCTIONS INCLUDED WITH THOSE ITEMS. THE INSTALLATION WORK VARIES FROM THESE INSTRUCTIONS AT SOME POINTS.

WARNING AND SAFETY ADVICE IS EXCEPTED FROM THIS.

PLEASE START BY READING THESE IMPORTANT SAFETY RULES

This safety alert symbol means "Caution" - failure to comply with such an instruction involves risk of personal injury or damage to property. Please read these warnings carefully.

This gate drive mechanism is designed and tested to offer appropriately safe service provided it is installed and operated in strict accordance with the following safety rules.

Incorrect installation and/or failure to comply with the following instructions may result in serious personal injury or property damage.

Do not wear rings, watches or loose clothing while servicing or installing a gate opener.

Installation and wiring must be in compliance with your local building and electrical installation codes.

Power cables must only be connected to a properly earthed supply.

Entrapment between the moving gate and walls due to the opening movement must be avoided by using safety edges or IR sensors when necessary.

Please remove any locks fitted to the gate in order to prevent damage to the gate. A special E-Lock is available as accessory.

After installation, ensure that the gate opener system is properly adjusted and that the safety system and the manual release function correctly.

This drive must not be used with a gate incorporating a wicket door.

The actuating member of a biased-off switch, if installed, is to be located within direct sight of the gate but away from moving parts. Unless it is key operated, it is to be installed at a minimum height of

1.5m and not accessible to the public.

It is important to make sure that the gate always runs smoothly. Gates which stick or jam must be repaired immediately. Employ a qualified technician to repair the gate, never attempt to repair it yourself.

Keep additional accessories away from children.

Do not allow children to play with any controls.

Keep remote controls away from children. Operate gate when it is in full view and no one is near the gate. A gate can cause serious injuries or death as it opens or closes.

Connect the gate opener to a properly

EARTHED general purpose 240 V mains power outlet installed by a qualified electrical contractor.

DISCONNECT THE POWER CORD from the mains power before making any repairs or removing covers. Only EXPERIENCED service personnel should remove covers from the gate opener.

Make sure that people who install, maintain or operate the gate drive follow these instructions.

Keep these instructions in a safe place so that you can refer to them quickly when you need to.

The gate drive system is to be regularly examined for any signs of wear and tear or damage.

The gate drive system must not be used if repair or adjustments are needed.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

The MGA is suitable for use with wide pillars, up to about 30cm in width. The maximum recommended opening angle of the gate is 125 degrees. Ensure that ample space is available next to the drive for the arms and assembly. Gates exposed to a high wind load must be fixed with an electric lock for additional protection. While the drive is fitted with internal limit switches, stops should also be mounted on the ground to prevent gate rattle or flutter. There are many factors to consider when choosing the right drive mechanism. Assuming that a gate functions properly, "startup" is the most difficult phase, once the gate is in motion, significantly less force is usually required to move it.

• Gate size: The gate size for this drive must not be more than 3.0m. Wind can brake or distort the gate, thereby increasing the amount of force needed to move it considerably.

• Gate weight: The weight of the gate must not be more than 250kg.

• Effect of tem perature: Be sure that the ambient temperature where the drive is installed will be between -20 to

+55C 0 deg since low outdoor temperature can prevent the motor from starting. High outdoor temperatures along with frequent use can cause the motor thermal protection to operate. Wait 15 minutes if this has oc curred.

INSTALLATION CHECKLIST - PREPARATIONS

Check the carton contents and read the instructions carefully. Make sure your gate equipment operates perfectly. The gate must run evenly and smoothly and must not stick at any point. Remember that the ground level may be several centimeters higher in winter. The gate must be stable and as free of backlash as possible in order to prevent any unwanted to and fro movement. The more smoothly the gate leaf runs, the more sensitive the force adjustment must be.

Note down any materials you still need and obtain them before starting to install. Heavy-duty plugs, bolts, gate stops, cables, distribution boxes, tools, etc.

GATE TYPES

The gate type determines the location where the drive mechanism is installed. If the gate stop is on the ground, the drive mechanism must also be installed at a height that is as low as possible so that it cannot twist the gate. Use only parts of the gate frame for fixing purposes.

For steel gates, the gate fitting must be attached to the main frame. If you are uncertain whether the available support is sufficiently stable, reinforce it.

In the case of wooden gates, the gate fitting must be through bolted. It is advisable to fit a plate from the outside so that the fixing brackets cannot become loose over time. Thin wooden gates must also be reinforced in order to withstand the stresses encountered .

FOR TWO GATE APPLICATION A FIXED GATE STOP MUST BE INSTALLED.

Gate stops save wear and tear on the drive mechanism, gate and fittings. Operating a gate without fixed limit stops results in poor performance. It is often dangerous, leads to premature wear in the case of heavy gates often exposed to wind stress.

MOUNTING REQUIREMENTS

The gate drive mechanism is suitable for use in conjunction with pillars with a max. thickness of 30cm. The amount of room around the pier affects the opening angle and the position of the arms. The drive mechanism is equipped with built-in limit stops for both the OPEN and CLOSE directions. A different opening angle can be set for the left-hand wing as compared with the right-hand one .

C =

7-8 cm = 90° max. 10 cm

B=60-70cm

INSTALLATION

Step 1 Install Motor Bracket

For Stone or reinforce concrete pillars use Dynabolts or

Chemical anchors (not supplied) to mount the motor support bracket onto the wall at the desired height. The gate motor exerts a considerable force, ensure the wall is suitable. It may be necessary to use metal reinforcing, if so weld the bracket onto the brace to prevent damage to the wall and or motor.

If fastening to brickwork CHEMICAL ANCHORS should be used and metal reinforcing is highly recomended.

DO NOT USE PLASTIC ANCHOR TO MOUNT THE

BRACKET IN PLACE.

Step 2 Prepare the Motor Housing

Taking note of the the Motorʼs orientation, carefully knock out one of the four tap in the base housing as illustrated to allow for cable entry. Several openings for the cable have been pre-punched in the base and need only be broken through. Place the base plate onto a solid surface whilst breaking the holes through to prevent the PVC base plate from breaking. A small, flat screwdriver should be used for breaking the holes through. For this purpose, tap on the screwdriver handle with the palm of the hand from the inside. Repeat this as necessary at several points on the premarked circle. The pre-punched area can then be easily removed and the strain relief supplied as standard fitted in its place.

Thread the Terminated Loom through the gland nut and into the hole knocked out for cable entry. Thread the gland over the cable and through the knockout hole as illustrated. Fasten the Gland in place firmly with the nut. Hand tighten the bottom nut, allowing around 200mm of cable to protrude.

Step 3 Mounting the motor to the Wall Bracket.

Once the Wall Bracket has been mounted, the drive can be fitted. The drives can be used left or right without conversion.

Using the hardware provided fit the Base Plate onto the Wall

Bracket. Place the Spacer provided into place as illustrated, then insert the bolts provide through the square hole in the

Walll Bracket.

Ensure the connection cable is correctly positioned, and the bolts are fitted correctly. Hand tighten the nuts to secure the motor in postion, then using the washers and nuts provided to fasten the motor securely in place using 13mm spanner

(not provided).

Step 4 Connect Motor to Loom.

Connect the Connection Cable in the motor as illustrated (fig1).

Step 5 Manual Release.

The release lock for the casing is located under the rubber waterproof cover. Use the socket spanner supplied in the hardware bag to lift the cover up. The release key located beneath the hood should be inserted into the side openings and turned approx. 180 degrees until it cannot turn any further. The drive has now been released. To re-engage it, the key should be turned back to its original position.

NOTE: Take care when unlatching the drive for manual operation. The gate panel can move in an uncontrolled way, especially if it is mounted in a sloped position.

Step 6 Fit the Gate Arm.

Use the Relase Key provided in your hardware bag to

Disenage the Motor by turning the Hex head nut located on the top of the motor.

Assemble your Gate Arm and fasten in place using the bolt and washer provided.

The Gate Arm exerts considerable forces on the gate and all fixings. For this reason the Gate Arm MUST BE FAS-

TENED SECURELY to the gate frame. Where possible

Weld the bracket in place for metal gates. For Timber gates through bolts should be used.

Use the Mounting Requiments outlined below for mounting requirements and bracket locations.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR SWING and ORNAMENTAL “GRILL TYPE GATES”

01-G0665F18

To prevent SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from a moving gate:

• Entrapment protection devices MUST be installed to protect anyone who may come near a moving gate.

• Locate entrapment protection devices to protect in BOTH the open and close gate cycles.

• Locate entrapment protection devices to protect between moving gate and RIGID objects, such as posts.

• A swinging gate shall NOT open into public access ways.

NOTE: It is recommended an E-lock or Maglock be used on gates over 2m for added security against vandalism and adverse weather.

S A F E T Y I N S TA L L AT I O N I N F O R M AT I O N

Warning - To reduce the risk of SEVERE INJURY or DEATH from an incorrect installation:

1. Vehicular gate systems provide convenience and security. Gate systems are comprised of many component parts. The gate operator is only one component. Each gate system is specifically designed for an individual application.

2. Gate operating system designers, installers and users must take into account the possible hazards associated with each individual component. Poorly designed, installed or maintained gate systems may be dangerous to users and bystanders. Gate installers and designers should therefore take steps to reduce the publicʼs exposure to potential hazards.

3. A gate operator can generate a great deal of force during operation, installers must be mindful of this fact. Safety features must be incorporated into every design. Specific safety features include:

• Gate Edges • Photoelectric Sensors

• Vertical Posts

• Guards for exposed rollers

• Instructional and Precautionary Signage

4. A gate opener should only be installed where: a. The operator is appropriate for the construction and the usage class of the gate.

b. All exposed pinch points are eliminated or guarded, and guarding is supplied for exposed rollers.

5. The operator is intended for installation only on vehicular gates only, pedestrians should be supplied with a seperate access

6. The gate must be installed in a location so that enough clearance is supplied between the gate and adjacent structures when opening and closing to reduce the risk of entrapment. Swinging gates shall not open into public access areas.

7. The gate must be properly installed and work freely in both directions prior to the installation of the gate operator.

8. Controls must be far enough from the gate so that the user is prevented from coming in contact with the gate while operating the controls.

9. Any warning signs must be clearly visible, on each side of the gate.

10. For a gate operator utilising a non-contact sensor: a. Reference ownerʼs manual regarding placement of non-contact sensor for each type of application.

b. Care shall be exercised to reduce the risk of nuisance tripping, such as when a vehicle trips the sensor while the gate is still moving.

c. One or more non-contact sensors shall be located where the risk of entrapment or obstruction exists, such as the perimeter reachable by a moving gate or barrier.

11. For a gate operator utilizing a contact sensor such as an edge sensor: a. A hard wired contact sensor shall be located and its wiring arranged so the communication between the sensor and the gate operator is not subject to mechanical damage.

b. A wireless contact sensor such as the one that transmits radio frequency (RF) signals to the gate operator for entrapment protection functions shall be located where the transmission of the signals are not obstructed or impeded by building structures, natural landscaping or similar obstruction. A wireless contact sensor shall function under the intended end-use conditions.

c. One or more contact sensors shall be located at the leading edge, trailing edge and post mounted both inside and outside of a vehicular horizontal slide gate.

d. One or more contact sensors shall be located at the bottom edge of a vehicular vertical lift gate.

e. One or more contact sensors shall be located on the inside and outside leading edge of a swing gate. Additionally, if the bottom edge of a swing gate is greater than 15cm (6”) above the ground at any point in its arc of travel, one or more contact sensors shall be located on the bottom edge.

IMPORTANT SAFE OPERATING/MAINTENANCE

INSTRUCTIONS

To reduce the risk of SEVERE INJURY or DEATH:

1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.

2. NEVER allow children to operate or play with gate controls. Keep the remote control away from children.

3. ALWAYS keep people and objects away from the gate. NO ONE SHOULD CROSS THE PATH OF

THE MOVING GATE.

4. Test the gate operator monthly. The gate MUST reverse on contact with a rigid object or stop when an object activates the non-contact sensors. After adjusting the force or the limit of travel, retest the gate operator. Failure to adjust and retest the gate operator properly can increase the risk of INJURY or

DEATH.

5. Use the manual release ONLY when the gate is not moving.

6. KEEP GATES PROPERLY MAINTAINED. Read the ownerʼs manual. Have a qualified service person make repairs to gate hardware.

7. The entrance is for vehicles ONLY. Pedestrians

MUST use separate entrance.

8. This appliance is not intended for use by persons

(including children) with reduced physical sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

The CAM switches must be set before proceeding with any programming. Either CAM can be used for “open” or “closed” position.

To set the CAM switches, disengage the motor using the Hex key provided.

Remove the top cover of the motor to allow access to the CAM located at the top of the motor (keys to access the cover are provided with the gate operator).

Manually move the gate through one complete action.

The micro switches make a clicking sound as the CAM begins to engage them.

Open Limit:

Set the CAM so the open limit microswitches click about 10 degrees before the desired open position.

Closed Limit:

The closed limit microswitch should click about 10 degrees before the gate is at the desired closed position.

NOTE: The cams are set for use as passpoints (references) NOT THE OPEN AND CLOSED POSITIONS.

A useful rule of thumb is to set the click to the point at which the soft stop & soft stop engage.

Limit programming detailed on pages 19 and 20.

Micro switch should be starting to engage.

Adjust CAM so that you hear a click 10 degrees

Use a screwdriver to push the CAM firmly to the position.

Note: Firmly push the holes on top of the CAM to adjust.

To avoid burring the CAM do not push directly on the cam lobe.

OPERATION OF YOUR GATE OPENER

MANUAL RELEASE

The release lock for the casing is located under the rubber weatherproof cover. Use the socket spanner supplied in the hardware bag to lift the cover up. The release key located beneath the hood should be inserted into the side openings and turned approx. 180 degrees until it cannot turn any further. The drive has now been released. To re-engage it, the key should be turned back to its original position.

NOTE: Take care when unlatching the drive for manual operation. The gate panel can move in an unconditional way, especially if it is mounted oin a sloped postion.
