5. Guida all'installazione

The installation process may vary depending on your gate and ground conditions. The following steps provide a general reference. Ensure your gate can open and close smoothly by hand before beginning installation.

5.1 Installazione meccanica

1. Assemble the Base Plate: Connect the base plate components using the provided bolts and nuts.

2. Install the Motor on the Base Plate: Secure the gate opener motor onto the assembled base plate. Adjust the motor position to align the drive sprocket and the two idler wheels vertically within the range of the hole in the "L bracket". Reinforce all bolts.

3. Determine Gate Opener Position: Place the assembled opener unit next to the gate. Mark the bolt-hole points on the ground. Drill holes and secure the opener using appropriate bolts (expansion bolts for concrete, hex bolts for other surfaces).

4. Fit the Chain: Disassemble the master link from the chain. Install the chain bolts onto the L-brackets on both ends of the gate. Connect the chain to one of the chain bolts using the master link. Ensure the chain fully engages the drive sprocket and idler wheels. Cut the chain to the appropriate length and connect the other end to the second chain bolt.

5. Install the Magnets: Install the N and S pole magnets onto their respective brackets. The S magnet bracket should be installed on the left side of the gate (from inside the property), and the N magnet bracket on the right side. Ensure the magnet center aligns with the marked line on the limit switch. Maintain a distance of 25-30 mm (1-1.2 inches) between the magnet and the limit switch.

5.2 Collegamento elettrico

The CF800 gate opener is powered by 110-120VAC electricity ONLY. The power supply cord should be at least 3 x 0.75mm² (3C x 18AWG). Connect the power wires to the control board as indicated in the wiring diagram within the manual. Ensure all connections are secure and properly insulated.
