IMPORTANT— READ THIS FIRST
Parts of these instructions are intended as a quick start guide and should be used in conjunction with the full
instructions. The quick start instructions provide the basics to get you up and running and are based on the most
commonly used installations in Australia. All electrical work in this country is to be performed by licensed electrical
contractors. Electricity can kill!
SAFETY
This booklet will offer you information you may need to install your gear motor and to safeguard your safety.
However, caution is unquestionably indispensable and nothing is better than preventing accidents.

Keep this booklet in a suitable place well known to all interested people.
PRELIMINARY CHECKS
In order to make the automation work efficiently; the gate to automate must have the following characteristics:
- It must be balanced.
- It must oscillate fluently.
- You must be able to carry out manual closing and opening of the gate without any effort.
- Make sure that the gate has a solid structure and that there is no friction points in its movement.
- Make sure that the gate/s have both solid opening stops and solid closing stops.
GENERAL ORDER OF INSTALLATION
To ensure a good installation of the gear motors ASA300, we suggest the following order of installation:
1 - Open the box and take out gear motor. Inspect the contents and ensure all components are present.
2 - Make sure that the leaf of the gate is perfectly horizontal.
3 - Determine the height position of your motor and mark post bracket position.
4 - Spend some time here considering the correct height and geometry of your post bracket.
5 - Attach the gear motor on to the support post.
6 - With gate/s leaf closed, turn and slide the screw of gear motor’s shaft, until it comes to the end of the screw.
7 - Screw shaft back 1 complete turn of 360º.
8 - Place the gate support plate in the hole of the shaft end and position it against the gate leaf.
9 - Fix it to the gate leaf taking in account the inclination.
10 - Put the gear motor into manual operation mode with your override key and test your install for smoothness.
11 – If correct proceed in the same way with the other gate leaf.
12 - Place the mechanical limit stops
13 - Connect the gear motors to the logic controller.
14 – Program and test your installation
15 – Attach your safety devices and access devices one by one testing for correct operation at each point.
MAINTENANCE
Periodically check your installation for loose or worn fastenings, correct alignment and operation of your gate/s and correct operation of
your manual override operation. Clean and keep clean all areas of the installation. Remember that the motorisation has been planned in
order to help you use the gate. This means that it does not resolve the problems caused by an inadequate installation or by a poor upkeep
of the gate.
