Important Safety information
Sliding Gate Motor - Model 550 AC Sliding
This item must be installed by a qualified electrician
All safety instructions and insallation methods should be read and completely
understood by the installer and the owner prior to the installation of the gate
opener system. This product is designed and manufactured for the use indicated in
this document. Remember that all automatic gates are intended for vehicular gates
only. A separate gate or entrance must be installed for pedestrian use. Any other use,
not expressly indicated may damage the product or be a source of danger. Do not use
it on large sized gates that have a steep incline. Wrong selection of motor will result in
unreliable operation.
Owner should observe the following:
1. Do not cross the gate while it is operating
2. Keep children away from the gate and the remote control
3. Do no adjust the setting of the control panel unless you understand what you are
doing
4. Learn the use of the the emergency override key. This is crucial in the event that
the system does not work.
Installer should observe the following:
1. Make sure the gate weight does not exceed the maximum weight specified
2. The gate design must be suitable for the installation of the gate opener system
3. Ensure that the gate is installed on flat,level ground and can move and slide freely
in both directions along the entire gate length
4. Gate opener must be installed in the area where it is not easily damaged
5. Do not change with parts or components not supplied by the manufacturer
6. Make sure all wiring works are correct in accordance with electrical bylaws and in
good condition before supplying the mains power to the control panel
7. Turn OFF the power when doing any maintenance
8. Ensure the control panel box is free from water leakage and insects to avoid short
circuiting of the control panel and voiding warranty
9. Never supply mains power directly to the DC motor if cover is damaged
10. Do not install the operating system if in doubt. Contact the manufacturer or your
local agent

Install “Physical Gate Stops
Physical gate stops MUST be installed at each end of your gate. If the
magnetic switch on the motor fails to stop the gate cycle, the gate stops will
prevent the gate from falling off the guide rollers and causing possible injury or
damage.
Installing Motor
Preparation of the concrete ground surface (base) for motor mounting
Make sure that the ground surface for the motor installation is solid and level.
A good base is paramount to the proper operation of the gate opener
system. If installing cables, place these 300mm from your wall/post and
approx. 220mm in from the corner of the wall/post. The motor mounting plate
is 170mm deep x 270mm wide. Position the motor mounting plate (
side nearest to the gate) approx. 150-160mm from the wall/post and approx.
50mm in from the post driveway corner point.

Top View Base Footprint
Cables from the control panel to the motor can be
per-embedded
in the base
should concealed wiring be preferred. Check with you
r
electrician. You may
have to space the bottom of the base plate with spacers to gain some height
to run wires and cables. Again check with your electrician.
Prepare for motor cable. Optional
devices
such as wired keypad, photo
beams etc. use telecom cable, cat-5 or cat-6

NOTE: You may need to raise the motor to allow the gear rack to fasten
properly to your gate bottom rail, so check this first by placing a piece of gear
rack on top of the motors cog alongside the gate.
Open/close the gate to ensure no fasteners are obstructing the rack.
There are 3 typical ways to fasten the motor to your concrete.
Option 1: If your gate is manufactured with 100 x 50mm rectangular bottom
rail such as the BMGI low profile model and sits about 40mm off the ground
with the wheels, you can bolt the motor directly to the concrete.
Hint: Option 2 and 3 are good for raising the motor to allow cables to be
installed freely under the motor so you do not need to be too accurate with
your cable location.
Option 2: If your gate is fitted with the standard wheel that raises the gate to
approx. 50mm from the ground you can use high mounting blocks to lift the
motor. Position these spacers under the left and right sides of the motor and
fasten to concrete.
Option 3: new concrete pad. If your gate is above 50mm off the ground you
can use the mounting plate supplied with the motor and the 4 threaded rods,
1 in each corner to act as pylons. The rods can be pressed into your concrete
pad. You can now line up the mounting plate. Once the concrete pad has
dried, you can now assemble, starting with the motor, washers and fasten
together with 4 more nuts.
Installing the gear rack to the gate:
For your gate to function smoothly you will need to install the gear rack
correctly. The outcome is to have a 2mm gap between your
gear wheel
and
the valley of the gear rack throughout the length of the gate. Temporarily
raise the motor by another 2mm using bolt-washer spacers under the motor
mounting bolts.

Release the auto gate to emergency release so that the gear wheel rotates
freely for the alignment and installation of the gear-rack. (see picture below)
Starting with your gate in the open position, align your first section of racking to
sit flush with the start of your gate. (See picture below)
Emergency Release
Rack installation start
Rest the first gear-rack on the gear wheel, ensure that the gear rack is level
and secure the gear-rack onto the gate using the fastenings provided. Move
the gate 1m and repeat as above until all gear-rack has been installed. Do
not fasten where
w
heels may be contacted as this will increase gate moving
resistance dramatically.
We strongly recommend you leave your gear rack over hanging (approx.
100mm) until after you have fitted your “magnet brackets” and only then cut off
any extra with a steel hacksaw. The gear rack has a steel rod inserted in the
nylon casting for strength.
Remove the washer/spacer from the motor and the gap of 2mm between the
gear wheel and the gear-rack is automatically achieved. Check to ensure
consistent meshing between the gear-rack with the gear wheel over the entire
length of the gate. Loosen the scre
w
on the gear-rack to adjust the position of
the gear rack if necessary.
2mm gap
Important Note: Gear wheel and gear rackings life depends almost
entirely on their correct meshsing

Install “Magnetic Brackets”
One magnet bracket MUST be installed at each end of your gate, attached to
your rack. Supplied is a high bracket and a low bracket, when installed they
are designed to trigger the internal magnetic limit switch. This will stop the
gate cycle BEFORE making contact with the physical gate stops.
The best way to install the ‘magnetic brackets’ is to close the gate to hit the
stop, slide back open 50mm, now slide the
LOW
magnet bracket along the
racking
until
you see
‘L

’
light up on the main control board, then adjust
magnet on bracket and secure. To install
HIGH
magnet, open gate full and
pull back 50mm, now slide the
HIGH
magnet bracket along the racking till
you see
‘L
7
’
light up on the main control board, then adjust magnet on
bracket and secure.
Check that both fully open and fully closed ‘magnetic brackets’ are in place on
the gear rack and are functioning correctly. Check both fully open and fully
closed physical stops are securely in place.

Program Gate ‘Opening Direction’
When setting the motor direction switch, standing at the motor, if you
r
gate
opens to the left ‘direction switch’ should be over to the left and if the gate
opens to the right then the ‘direction switch’ should be over to the right.
To
make sure this is correct, open gate half way and lock clutch in, press
remote button and the gate should open fully.

Maintenance work
The drive mechanics are maintenance free. Check at regular intervals that the gate
hardware and the drive are all firmly in place. Disengage the drive and check gate
functionality. Only an easy running gate will work well with a drive.
A drive is no substitute for a poorly functioning gate.

IMPORTANT
240 Volt power supply must be safely secured inside
the motor housing to prevent the power supply from
being disconnected from the main board. If not
secured correctly this may cause the LW550 to
become an electrical hazard.
