TERMS AND DEFINITIONS
•Auto-close. Allows the gate to close automatically after a selected time period. (see DuraOptics)
•Multi –user mode. This is a setting used in town house situations where there are multiple triggers.
This setting will avoid the motor getting multiple triggers at the same time.
•Pedestrian access. This allows only partial opening of the gate and will auto-close after 6 seconds.
•Anti-lift device. Stops the gate being lifted off the rail.
•Battery. The battery is used to drive the motor. (The Condo AC/DC motor can operate without a
battery)
•Battery Back-up. The Condo AC/DC uses mains power to drive the motor, and the battery is used in
the case of mains power failure.
•DuraOptics. These are infra-red safety beams that reduce the risk of the gate closing on a vehicle.
DuraOptics should always be used when auto-close is selected.
•Transformer. The transformer reduces mains power (220 VAC) to 16 VAC. NOTE! The cable to be
used from the transformer to the Main P.C.Board must be a minimum of 1.5mm cable. Do not use
communications cable.
•Charger module. The on-board charger receivers 16 VAC from the transformer and then delivers a
trickle charge to maintain a constant 13.8 VDC charge to the battery.
•Main P.C.Board. The main P.C.Board is the printed circuit board that contains all the electronic
components that operate the motor. NOTE! always remove the power from the board before
connecting any out-put wires.
•Remote / transmitter. The transmitter transmits a radio signal to the receiver.
•Receiver. The receiver triggers the motor after receiving a radio signal from the transmitter.
•NOTE! If the range is not sufficient using the on-board receiver, an external receiver must be used.
•Test button. This is a button on the Main P.C.Board that can be used to activate the motor.
This button is used during programming of the motor.
•Rack. This is a length of toothed gear mounted on the gate.
•Pinion gear. This is the gear that meshes with the rack in order to drive the gate. NOTE! This is a
serviceable part.
•Foundation plate. This is the steel plate that is mounted to a concrete plinth in the ground. The motor
is mounted onto the foundation plate using the three mounting bolts.
•Thumbwheel. This allows the motor to be put into Manual Override mode so that the gate can be
operated by hand.
•Free exit vehicle loop detector. This is an optional extra that will allow the gate to automatically open
when a vehicle drives over a loop in the driveway.
•P.I.R.A.C. mode. This is “Passive Infra-Red Auto-Close”. This allows the gate to close as soon as a
vehicle passes through the Infra-Red safety beams. * Pending*
•Theft deterrent bracket. Deters anybody from opening the motor or trying to lift the lid.

SITE EVALUATION
Mount the motor above the flood level or a flood proof wall must be built in order to retain any water from
entering the motor
Ensure that the rail is kept clear of all debris,
The site should be evaluated before the installation begins. The following items should be checked.
•Flood level. The motor should be above flood level to avoid any damage to the motor.
•The rail must be level and should be above ground level, this will assist with keeping debris out of
the path of the wheels. Any debris lying on the rail may cause the motor to over current.
•Trees and bushes must be cleared to allow for smooth operation. .
The rail should be above ground level
It is important to ensure that the rail is above the ground level, as this
reduces the chances of stones and other debris blocking the track and
jamming the wheels of the gate.
Keep all trees, bushes and other growth
clear of the gate. Failure to do this may lead
to the gate jamming.

GATE EVALUATION
It is extremely important to evaluate the gate that is to be automated before any automation is done. The
following points must be checked. All of the points mentioned below are common causes of problems if
not checked.
The gate must not move on its own when left in any position on the rail.
Ensure that the end stops are secure.
Recommended 70mm high
Ensure that the wheels are turning freely.
Recommended 80mm wheels
It is recommended that 16mm round bar is used to assist
with the smooth operation of the gate
Ensure that the gate is level
Rollers must roll freely.
The roller mounting can be used as an anti-lift device,
.
The gate must not bind in any way on
the bracket when opening or closing
In the case of the rollers coming off the
mounting, the gate must remain in an upright
position.
A device must be fabricated to allow for this.
If the gate has a full portal, the portal will pro-
vide for this
The catch bracket can also be used
as an Anti-Lift Device

It is important to check the start-up force of the gate before the motor is installed. Place the gate in the fully
closed position. Using a fishing scale, pull the gate open and check the kilogram force required to start the
gate rolling. This is the start-up force.
At no stage while moving the gate must the reading exceed the force shown in the table below.
Start up force table
SOLO = MAX START FORCE UP 10 KG
CONODO = MAX START UP FORCE 15 KG
CONDO AC/DC = MAX START UP FORCE 15 KG
NOTE. A good standard household type gate of 100kg should have a start up force of 1,5 kg—2,5 kg

ELECTRICAL WIRING (SOLO AND CONDO )
•The transformer must be plugged into a normal plug socket in the house. 16 Volts AC is then run directly
to the P.C.Board 16 Volts AC connection. The distance between the transformer and the motor should
not exceed 50 meters.
•Take care that the wires are connected the correct way. AC TO AC and EARTH TO EARTH
•The cable should be run in a 300 mm deep trench in a water proof conduit and must be terminated
inside the motor .
•There must be no joins in the cable underground.
•The cable should be a three core 1.5mm cable. Do not use communication cable as this will void
any warranty
NOTE the transformer must not be opened in any way as this may cause electrical shock
Connect from the transformer 16volts AC to the 16v AC on the main P.C. board.
Connect from the ETH (earth) on the transformer to the GREEN wire on the main P.C.Board
