PK Series

Before any motor is attached:
Inspect hinge welds or bolts for strength.
Align the gate vertically and horizontally.
Ensure the gate swings freely by hand.
Lubricate hinges to reduce future friction.

Each motor type comes with specific bracket positioning. General rules include:
Ensure the motor’s opening arc matches the gate’s intended arc.
Align brackets according to manufacturer measurements (often A-B dimensions).
Ensure the motor sits level and parallel to the gate frame.

Using a welder or heavy-duty screws:
Attach the post bracket firmly to the gate post or pillar.
Attach the gate bracket to the gate frame.
Use metal backing plates if working with thin posts.

Attach the motor arms to the mounted brackets:
Verify that each arm has full range of movement.
Test opening and closing manually (with power off).
Ensure the motor does not bind, twist, or overextend.

For Australian installations:
Use UV-rated conduit for outdoor wiring.
Ensure cabling complies with Australian electrical safety standards.
Keep wiring protected from flooding, pests, and accidental impact.

Once cabling is connected:
Mount the control box on a nearby wall or post.
Connect motor leads to their dedicated ports.
Set open and close limits using control board programs.
Adjust soft start/stop settings for smooth operation.
Test the obstruction detection sensitivity.

For compliance and safe operation:
Photocell sensors
Flashing warning light
Emergency release key
Safety edges (optional but recommended)

Perform multiple full open/close cycles:
Check swing speed
Check motor strain
Listen for unusual noise
Test manual release
Test remote range
Ensure child-safe operation
