Descripon

AXEL sets are suitable for presge estate gates. The

powerful PWM motors have internal encoders to

monitor gate posion. Stall sensors detect obstacles

and in order to reverse the gate’s direcon. Speed

and pressure are adjusted in compliance with safety

standards. AXEL sets are safe and green. They will

provide long and reliable service if ed and main-

tained according to the instrucons in this manual.

Remotes use a ‘Rolling Code’ format that changes

the code sent every me it is used. It can’t be cop-

ied, keeping your home secure.

A key operated manual release

mechanism allows access in

case of a power outage.

Though this equipment is com-

plex, user programming has

been kept simple. Foresee

have a planned program of

simple hi technology new prod-

uct releases to keep your home

secure and up to date.

Set contents

AK-424 The standard set is for double leaf

boarded gates, and heavy domesc gates. The

set includes two underground openers, control

panel, two remotes and a photo-beam. RIO-X

control panel requires a 230Vac supply.

AK-414 This single leaf version is approved for

gates leaves up to 2.8m when installed with an

electric lock (not included) or pedestrian gates.

AL-424 This is the AXEL low power set. The RIO-

XL control panel is powered by an ELV source

mounted remotely, oen in the house or garage.

RIO-XL includes 1.1Ahr baeries. Ideal for sites

where a long mains cable would be dicult or

expensive to run. The charging cable can also be

used for an intercom or other controls.

All sets include two remotes and a photobeam

set. Mains powered sets can be ed with the

baery backup set for up to 10 hours o grid.

Without baeries, gates will aempt to close

when power is restored.

Set contents are a starng point. Addional

devices may be added. Further safety devices

may be required. Mains isolator is not included

AXEL

Safety consideraons

European standards specify safety measures to

be used on applicaons with perceived risk. The

highest rang calls for photobeams and sensive

edges, in addion to control panel PSR.

Rangs for systems in public spaces used by un-

trained are higher than private gates operated

by trained. Autonomous devices such as mers

and vehicle detectors add a level of risk.

The safety tutorial at the end of this manual is

dedicated to dening ‘risk’. The design and

layout of a gate can eliminate many risks,

avoiding the need for more safety devices.

Control panel electronic measures do not make

the system compliant on their own.

Installer responsibility

An automated gate is a machine that must

comply with the EU Machines direcve. There

are many aspects of compliance that ensure the

gate is safe to users and public. ‘Automac gate’

signs are required on both sides of the gate

warning against risk of contact injury.

The installer must prepare a handover pack to

include details of the installaon, a user guide

and a risk statement. Much of that informaon is

included in this manual, along with guides to

indenfy site specic risks and gate aributes.

Good pracce is essenal to safety & reliability.

Note outdoor installaons electrical standards.

Homeowner responsibility

It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure

only trained people operate the gate, and they

are aware of potenal gate hazards. Owners are

responsible for injury resulng from failure to

meet the requirements in this manual.

The person operang the gate must take

responsibility for the safety of any person within

the hazard area. Never let children play near

gates in moon.

Gates must be robust, well maintained, and on

clean level ground. Keep the gate area clear of

objects. Have the gate properly maintained and

repaired by qualied personnel to maintain the

legal safety requirements.

Stepped piers work beer for steel barred gates.

Boarded gates leave an unsightly gap. Filling the

gap is likely to cause a pinch hazard.

Rear hung gates, where the casement is on the

back of the pier (Fig 1c) eliminate the sight gap,

and can hide the necessary safety edge.

However on turning the casement the adjustable

closed stop no longer works. You will need a

centre stop or an alternave casement stop.

The top hinge on a boarded gate is crical to

quality installaon. Top hinges need to be plumb

above the casement pivot. Fig 3 gives some

alternaves.

The most common [D] requires the gate to be

o centre, and therefore will require a safety

edge to protect the pinch hazard.

[E] is on centre, but leaves a sight gap, or you

need to cope with a rear hung gate.

[F] is ideal, but needs a special hinge ng to

the top of the gate.

Be sure to discuss top hinge design with your

gate supplier. The design will aect safety, pier

design, the gate’s dimensions, opening angle and

entrance width.

Gate mounng

[A] is frequently requested, but requires extra safety edges

because of the crush risk between the gate and the pier.

[B] recommended for safety and has a good opening angle.

[C] casement must be turned through 90° and mounted on

the back face of pier. This results in a reduced opening angle.

Driveway layout

Layout, like gate mounng, can minimise extra

safety devices without compromising safety.

Sets contain one photobeam, normally wired to

the re-open [F] input. The beam is xed to the

gate pier or post. A second pause photobeam on

[E] input is placed outside the swing of the gate.

The entrance should be on level ground from

pier to pier. The casements need to be at

nished ground level. It is possible to have

casements at dierent heights but one leaf will

need to be adjusted to suit.

Casements need funconing drainage. In most

cases, the drive will be higher than the water

table, so a soakaway may be sucient. Steep

private drives may have regular run os towards

the road that will frequently ll the casement,

then ll the soakaway. Consider a surface drain.

Wood swells when it absorbs moisture. A gap

between gate boards and between gate leaves is

essenal. Any sight gap between leaves can be

covered by a rebate on one leaf. This will dictate

the order that the leaves open and close. This

control panel funcon is also used for drives that

curve inside the property.

On a few occasions, the driveway may be so

steep that it is necessary for gates to open

outwards. This is to be discouraged as it puts the

public at more risk.

Similarly, the casement should be level on both

axes, pitch & roll. However, to adjust roll angle X

can compensate for a steep drive. This needs

careful calculaon that can be viewed on our

webpages.

The return wall on the le, or any other xed

solid feature, should be over 0.5m the area

swept by the gate. Any closer, and a protecon

device may be required.

Fig 5

Fig 7

Foundaon depth depends on the ground and

pier weight. Gate width is crical, so it is safer to

lay the rst brick course before ordering the gate

to ensure it ts.

The casements can now be laid on a thin bed of

concrete over the concrete base. Fig7 shows an

alternave method where the casements are

suspended from a level bar resng on the rst

few brick courses. This ensures the casements

are level and packed underneath.

Push t ducts and drains in the casement.

Protect any exposed screw threads and tape up

any holes to prevent concrete ingress. Then

build concrete around the casement to at least

75mm, including under the pivot shelf.

Groundwork & cable ducts

Piers can be constructed hollow, inlled, or with

steel post reinforcement. That is a decision

beyond the scope of this manual.

Two concrete bases are required for the piers,

set at precisely the same level. Level o 170mm

below road level to give casements a solid base,

and space for ducts and drainage to be buried.

More ducts can be laid when the piers are half

height. We recommend 40mm ribbed duct for

cables and 50mm ribbed for drainage. Ducts in

the drawing below are shown terminated at the

base of the pier.

If the pier is to remain hollow, it is dier to run

cable ducts in the pier. If solid, run the ducts up

the side of the pier (Fig 9). It is a sensible prec-

auon to run a pull cord down any long ducts. If

you have the cable, run the cable as well.

Photobeams are set 500mm

above road level. Add a 20mm

duct in each pier run to an

access hole at on the back face.

The far pier has a JB. The near

pier will have the control panel.

AXEL

Pier design

This is a good point to consider any other ducts

or cables that may be needed. See the accessory

page for more opons, such as an intercom, a

keypad, or a vehicle sensor.

The nearside pier normally has a power supply

cable and the control panel. In these examples it

is shown on the le, but could equally be on the

right. The farside pier has a juncon box (JB) to

make connecons to the motor and photobeam.

If there is an intercom or other access control, it

is normally ed to the le pier, because that is

the side visitors get out of their vehicles. Height

is typically 1.5m. Leave a suitable duct access

hole. Ducts will run either to the control panel,

or to an electrical juncon box on the rear.

Nearside piers are oen the closest to a garage

or the house, where there is a fuse box or

consumer unit. A garage makes a more secure,

safer, and less hosle control panel posion. It

must be within 10m of the gate and will require

more cabling.

Fing the motors

The 2 casement orientaons are

shown in Fig.12 with the motor

posions. Place the motors over

the casement studs, then bolt

them down.

Gate xing levers will not be

ed unl later, though they are

shown on the diagram.

Stop plates

The stop plate has two limits. The close posion

is adjustable. The open posion is xed to the

limit of the casement. If you need the gate to

open less you can t an addion ground stop.

Fit the stub axle plate and stop plate over the

exposed studs in the upper shelf, then x with

the locking nuts.

Fig 12b

Motor arms

Motor arms can now be assembled on the stub

axle. Grease the motor splines. Place the radius

arm as Fig 14, then tap the arm on with using a

so mallet. Grease the stub axle well then add

the lever arm. Fit the link bar (thick end towards

the motor) and x with two screws..

It will not be possible to set the closed stop unl

the motors are under power.

Running cables

We recommend star wiring. A ve core 0,6mm

cable (DC519) is run from the control panel to

most devices. Excepons are the motor cables

which are 3 core 1mm, and AK sets mains supply

cable (3 core 5A). Lock and lamp cables may also

dier, so check their cable specicaons.

Cables should enter the panel through glands.

Running the cables behind the PCB keeps the

limited space dy. It is beer to hide cables than

cut them too short. Mark all cables.

The wiring plan below shows individual cables

grouped in appropriate ducts. Only one juncon

box is shown. Others are likely to be required.

Capital leers refer to the terminal they service.

An intercom has been included as an example of

access control. Devices on terminals L, K, G, E

and D are oponal and not included in AXEL sets.

Fig 16

RIO-X panel

RIO-X is the mains

panel with a 24Vac

transformer. The only

other main wiring is

the warning lamp.

RIO-XL is a low power

version with baeries

charged is remotely.

Baeries a can also

be ed to RIO-X

giving about 10hrs o

grid service.

CONTROL WIRING

The 10 way control connector is for ‘acvaon’

and ‘safety’ devices. A standard colour scheme

simplies diagrams. Black [C] is common to all

devices. Use only compable devices.

WARNING LAMP [L & C] output gives 12Vdc

ON-OFF while the gate is in moon for lamps

without a asher circuit. The power board has

terminals for 230V lamps with internal ashers.

ELECTRIC LOCK [K & C] opon gives a DC pulse

on opening. Use wire over 1.5mm terminals.

ACTIVATION DEVICES [G & C] or [D & C]

Any number of extra acvaon devices can be

wired to [G & C]. Some examples are shown on

the next page. Move the green wire to [D] for

single leaf “door” opening. Remotes can be set

for these two funcons. See user instrucons.

SAFETY DEVICES [F & C] or [E & C]

There two inputs are for safety devices. Input [F]

prevents the gate closing (outside photobeams).

Devices on input [E] pause gate while opening or

closing (eg inside photobeam or safety edge).

See examples on the previous page.

Unlike acvaon devices, safety device contacts

are ’NC’. More than one device contact on the

same input need to be connected in series. If an

input has no device connected, it needs to be

linked to [C] common.

Examples on page 12 show single photobeams

on each input. Below that, there are examples of

a photobeams with one and two safety edges.

Safety device power (red) is 24Vdc. It is only

acve while the motor is running.

We recommend safety edges with an NC contact

for easy wiring. Not all edges need the power

supply. Resisve edges may need a processor.

Safety is a synergy of all measures and devices.

Refer to the safety tutorial for risks & soluons.
