ATA – SGO1v3 Elite Swing manual CB-9v3
INSTALLATION OF MECHANICAL DRIVE UNIT
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 (Page 8) 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.
MOUNTING OF DRIVE UNIT
1. Mount Drive Unit using four (4) 10mm loxins or dynabolts.
2. Make sure that the Drive Unit is mounted at an appropriate distance from the ground (Minimum 35mm to allow clearance for drive arm extension). (Fig 1)
NOTE: If the gateway slopes away from pier/post make sure an allowance is made for clearance of the Drive Arm Extension and Slave Arm to not touch the ground.
CHANGING TO/FROM MANUAL OPERATION
DISENGAGE DRIVE MOTOR, by pulling manual engage/disengage pin up using the release ring fitted, and while holding, rotate motor assembly in a clockwise direction. (Fig. 3 & 4)
(Later RE-ENGAGE DRIVE MOTOR rotate motor assembly in a anti-clockwise direction.)
AFFIXING ARMS AND BRACKETS TO GATE
1. Position gate in close position.
2. Assemble Drive Arm Extension to Drive Arm (fixed to the drive unit) (Fig. 1), using two Hex. Head screws and spring and flat washers supplied.
3. Assemble Slave Arm to Drive Arm Extension (Fig. 1). Using plastic washers and shoulder screw supplied.
4. Assemble Gate Mounting Bracket and Slave Arm using shoulder screw and plastic washers (Fig 1), don’t tighten yet.
5. Extend arms out straight and mark position where the Gate Mounting Bracket touches gate (Fig 5).
6. From this mark, measure 10mm toward Drive Unit and mark again. This is where Gate Mounting Bracket will be mounted (Fig. 5).
7. Remove the Gate Mounting Bracket from the Slave Arm and secure the Gate Mounting Bracket to the gate at second mark.
8. Reassemble Slave Arm to Gate Mounting Bracket using shoulder screw and plastic washers. Secure well.
