1. General Description

The VANTAGE linear swing gate motor, available in two models with actuation strokes of

400mm and 500mm, respectively, has been designed to automate a wide variety of swing gates, from single light-domestic gates to heavy industrial double swing gates.

The fail-safe and fully-redundant Position and Collision Detection System has been designed and tested to set the standard in safety of operation and to provide an unparalleled level of reliability and durability in operation.

The gate Travel Limits are managed by a sealed double-redundant opto-electronic system that has been designed not only to ensure ultra-reliable operation, but also to ensure precise position and trajectory control. This enables very accurate and reliable collision detection to ensure safe operation even under trying conditions.

This guide covers the mechanical installation of your new VANTAGE swing gate operator.

VANTAGE swing gate operators can be installed on both inward- and outward opening swing gates. Please see the relevant sections for each type of installation, paying attention to any site preparation that needs to be made before the operators are installed.

6. Preparation of Site

6.1. General Consideration for the Installation

Always recommend the fitment of additional safety equipment such as safety edges and Safety Beams (i5 or Photon), for additional protection against entrapment or other mechanical risks.

Check that no pipes or electrical cables are in the way of the intended installation.

Check that enough space is available for the gate operator with the gate in the required open position (see Figure 6).

If the swing gate leaf is longer than 3 metres, ensure that an electric lock can be fitted.

For security reasons, never fit an operator on the outside of the gate, where the public has access to it (refer to the instructions for an Outward-opening swing gate).

Never run an operator directly off the 12V battery.

Install the gate operator only if:

• It will not pose a hazard to the public

• There is sufficient clearance to a roadway and/or public thoroughfares

• The installation will meet all municipal and/or local authority requirements once completed

• The gate mass, leaf width, wind loading and application is within the operator specifications

• The gate is in good working order, meaning:

• that it swings freely;

• does not move on its own if left in any position;

• each gate leaf is strong and rigid;

• Once installed, there is sufficient clearance between moving parts during operation of the gate to reduce the risk of personal injury and/or entrapment

• It is recommended that Pushbuttons and Keyswitches, if fitted, be positioned in such a way that the gate is in line of sight of the user page 18 www.CentSys.com

6.2. Determine Gate Opening Angle

Use this procedure to accurately determine the gate opening angle:

6.2.1. Step 1

Close the gate and measure a distance of one metre from the centreline of the gate hinge.

Make a mark on the ground.

Wall Mark the ground

1 metre

Gate in closed position

Gate hinge point 6.2.2. Step 2

Open the gate and measure along the gate a distance of one metre from the centreline of the gate hinge.

Make a mark on the ground.

Measure the distance on the ground between the two marks (Z).

Using this Z-Value, read off the gate opening angle from the Table below.

6.3. Key Terms Used in this Section

6.3.1. Pillar maximum

The maximum allowable distance measured from the centre of the gate hinge to the edge of the pillar.

6.3.2. Wall minimum

This value denotes the minimum amount of space needed to install the operator and is measured from the side wall to the gate when the gate is in the open position.

6.4. Side Wall Limitation - Inward Opening

Figure 7 shows the side wall limitations for an Inward opening gate . The operator must be installed in accordance with these limitations. If the wall minimum cannot be achieved, consider using an outward swing configuration.

Gate hinge point

Wall Gate in closed position

Wall minimum must be greater than 200mm



Side wall

FIGURE 7. SIDE WALL LIMITATION FOR INWARD OPENING GATE page 20 www.CentSys.com

6.5. Pillar Hinge Depth Limitation - Inward Opening

Figure 8 shows the pillar hinge depth limitation for an Inward opening gate .

An operator must be installed in accordance with these limitations to ensure that it does not interfere with the operation of the gate during movement. The hinge depth of the gate on the pillar, needs to be checked against the pillar maximum values in Table 9 to determine if the installation is possible. If the hinge depth of the gate is excessive, the gate may have to be relocated on the pillar to achieve the required pillar maximum values.

Manually rotate the piston to the fully extended position, and then retract it by half to one full turn.

With the gate in the closed position, use a G-clamp or spot weld the Gate

Bracket in position to temporarily hold the Gate Bracket in place.

The G-clamp should only be used to secure the Gate

Bracket in place, and should never be used as a means of securing the operator piston arm as this could result in damage.

If the gate opening angle is sufficient and the operator is utilising the majority of its stroke, then secure the Gate Bracket using the most appropriate means.

Remove the operator before welding, if welding is required.

If this is not the case or the operator does not have enough stroke for the gate to open fully, re-check the A- and B-Values from Table 10 on page 29 to Table 15 on page 31.

10.1. Step 1

Depending on the gate opening angle determined in Section 6.2 refer to Figures 27 to 28 for the correct installation geometry.

In most cases it will be necessary to make up a suitable extension bracket on which to mount the operator’s Wall Bracket.

Ensure that the gate mass does not exceed the specifications on page 13.
