Installation Preparation Checklist
1. Read all of the instructions, especially the
Important Information in Section 1 at the
beginning of this manual, before you attempt
installation. This section is focused upon
mechanical installation. For electrical setup,
refer to Section 3, on system configuration
and use of the Smart Touch Controller.
2. Check to see that the mounting slab is the
recommended size and ready to have an
operator attached. Also check that electrical
conduits are correctly located to enter the
chassis. HySecurity recommends a slab
reaches below the local frost line and
extends somewhat above grade. See the
footprint plan and elevation view on pages
14 and 15.
3. Make sure the gate rolls smoothly in both
directions, without any binding of the gate
hardware. If the gate is warped or hard to move, stop and fix the gate before attempting to automate.
4. Verify that you have covers for all exposed gate support
wheels. These must be installed. Also, look around to
identify all of the potential pinch points and hazardous areas,
and plan the best location for the entrapment protection
devices and warning signs. Remember that you are required
to advise the owner regarding the potential hazards of an
automatic gate and about the function of the entrapment
protection sensors that you have selected and installed.
5. There are 3 steps to a perfect install: location, location, location. One of the most critical adjustments in
installation will be to make sure the operator is located the proper distance from the gate, and that the gate
and operator are as parallel as possible. See Figure C below. Prepare some shims for aligning the drive rail.
Note: If necessary, shim the drive rail so that it is straight
± ¼” throughout the travel
distance of the gate.
Remember to
cover all four of
the cantilever
gate wheels
