mounting the motor

[1]. Position the motor on the lag screws, insert it and push it towards the gate.
[2]. Ensure the pinion is correctly positioned under the rack.
[3]. Set the height of the motor and/or the rack to ensure a clearance of approximately 2
mm between the rack and the pinion. This setting is important to prevent premature
wear of the pinion and rack; the pinion must not be supporting the weight of the gate.
[4]. Check:
• that the setting nuts all come into contact with the base of the motor,
• the motor is level,
• the gate runs correctly,
• the clearance between the rack and pinion does not vary significantly over the gate's
travel.
[5]. Fit a washer and nut onto each lag screw in order to fit the motor.

fitting the end limit brackets

[1]. Manually move the gate to the open position.
[2]. Position a bracket onto the rack so that it activates the motor end limit contact.
[3]. Screw the bracket onto the rack.
[4]. Manually move the gate to the closed position then repeat steps 2 and 3 to fit the
second bracket to the rack.

Connection to the power supply

Connect the live (L) to terminal 1 on the motor.
Connect the neutral (N) to terminal 2 of the motor.
Connect the earth wire to the earth terminal on the base of the motor.
switch on the power to the installation before commissioning.
The transformer is prewired (terminals 3 and 4). Do not alter the connections.
before quick commissioning
[1]. Ensure the rail is clean.
