IMPORTANT: Determining Correct Setback
E-S 1000D Series Instruction Manual
2.3
Below are 3 common examples of setback mountings & common mistakes made.
These are not the only options for mounting.
There are 3 factors to keep in mind when finding the setback mounting:
1)
The measurements must be correct from the center of the hinge of the gate to the center of the hole
on the mounting bracket.
2)
There must be clearance for your opener to attach to your gate in the closed position.
3)
The brackets do not move or pivot after mounting, if you can achieve the setback and clearance
then bracket position is inconsequential.
It is best to C-Clamp brackets on and test arm movement clearance before permanently attaching
them.
Variations to the ideal setback can be made, so long as the total is less than the combined
measurements for the desired opening arc and the motor body is more than 2 inches away from the
gate in both the open and closed position. (setback variations significantly reduces the length and
weight capacity of the operator)
