ATA SG01v3 Swing Manual

ELITE SWING GATE OPENER

The ATA ELITE SWING GATE OPENER is designed to operate most domestic swing gates. The gates must be in good working condition and should operate by hand relatively freely. Wind loading may affect the operation of the opener in high wind areas, correct obstruction and reversing settings should be chosen for trouble free operations.

INITIAL CHECKING
Before commencing installation of the Elite Swing Gate Opener, check the following:

1. The gate will move freely by hand for it’s full opening and closing travel.
2. The pier or post for mounting must be of solid construction (Brick, solid timber or steel). It must anchor most of the force applied by the drive unit.
3. A weatherproof 240V 10A general purpose Power Point should be available on or near the pier/post.
4. If dual gate operators are required, provision for underground cabling should be made from one post to the other.
5. Side Room Clearance. Using table 1 and referring to Fig. 2 check that there is enough room available to mount the Drive Unit. If there is not, the Minimum Side Room Kit will need to be purchased by your distributor from ATA.
6. The mount distance of the Drive Unit should be recorded. This value will be used later.

The mount Distance of the Drive Unit and the Hinge Distance of the gates can be selected to optimise the side room clearance.

NOTE: If the gates are already installed then measure the Hinge Distance and use this to optimise the Mount Distance.
