Site requirements
Check that the temperature range marked on the drive is suitable for the location. Do not
install the drive where ambient temperatures will exceed the ratings.
Gate
This opener is designed for residential
sliding gates of any length, but
weighing less than 500 kg.
Using a spring balance, check that
less than 15 kg force (150 N) is
required to manually move the gate
through its full range of movement,
with the gate disconnected from the
drive.
The gate should operate smoothly,
opening and closing without sticking.
Check the mounting points for
strength and stiffness. Reinforce if
necessary.
Gate posts
There should not be any visible flexing of the mounting points under load.
Level and square the gate
The gate track should be perfectly level along its full length. The gate and its tracks and
rollers should not be damaged or bent.
Power supply
Mains powered
If the opener is to be mains-powered, then the 3-pin power plug should be shielded from
the effects of weather. The product is tested as a unit for electrical safety compliance
and if the plug is cut off for hard-wiring, then the electrical safety of the unit becomes the
responsibility of the installing electrician. An isolating switch is recommended, but all mains
wiring should be in accordance with local regulations.
Solar Powered
Contact Merlin for the correct battery and solar panel. The size of these depends on: the
duty cycle of the gates; the hours of sunlight; and the number and type of accessories
fitted.
