WARNING

Important Safety Information

Gate equipment has hazards associated with its use and therefore by installing this product the

installer and user accept full responsibility for following and noting the installation and safety

instructions. Failure to follow installation and safety instructions can result in hazards developing

due to improper assembly.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY AND COMPLETELY before attempting to install and

use this automatic gate operator. This gate operator produces a high level of force. Stay clear of

the unit while it is operating and exercise caution at all times.

All safety instructions should be read and completely understood by installer and the owner prior

to the installation of the E8 auto gate system. This product is designed and manufactured for the

use indicated in the manual.

Remember that all automatic gates are intended for vehicular gates only. A separate gate or en-

trance must be installed for pedestrian use. Any other use, not expressly indicated may damage

the product or be a source of danger.

Swing Gate Motor - Model E8

E8 swing gate motor is suitable for light - medium weight gates. Do not use it on large sized gates

which exceed the maximum recommended gate weight and length. Wrong selection of motor will

result in an unreliable operation.

Please Read This First!

Thank you for purchasing the E8 “do-it-yourself” automatic gate opener! When correctly installed

and properly used, your E8 Gate Opener will give you many years of reliable service.

The E8 Opener is designed for installation on a pull-to-open or push-to-open gate.

The E8 Gate Opener can be used on aluminum, chain link, farm tube, and wrought iron gates.

Use on solid surface gates is NOT recommended. Solid surface gates have a high resistance to

the wind. If the wind is strong enough, the operator will obstruct and stop.

The E8 Gate Opener accommodates extra transmitters, digital keypads, solar panels, push but-

tons, automatic gate locks, and other access control products.

The E8 Gate Opener features an obstruction sensor. This feature makes the gate stop and

reverse open when it comes in contact with an obstruction. This sensitivity is pre set on the main

control board and cannot be adjusted.

The E8 Gate Opener has an adjustable auto-close feature. After the gate reaches the fully open

position, it can be set to remain open up to 120 seconds before automatically closing. Pressing

the transmitter button at any time after the gate opens fully will cause it to close immediately. OFF

is the factory setting; meaning the gate will stay open until you press the transmitter (or keypad,

etc.) again.

Important Safety Information

Because automatic gate operators produce high levels of force, consumers need to know the

potential hazards associated with improperly designed, installed, and maintained automated gate

opener systems. Keep in mind that the gate opener is just one component of the total gate op-

erating system. Each component must work in unison to provide the end user with convenience,

security, and safety.

This manual contains various safety precautions and warnings for the installer end user. Because

there are many possible applications of the gate operator, the safety precautions and warnings

contained in this manual cannot be completely exhaustive in nature. It does, however, provide an

overview of the safe design, installation, and use of this product.

CAREFULLY READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS, WARNINGS AND INSTALLA-

TION INSTRUCTIONS TO ENSURE THE SAFE SYSTEM DESIGN, INSTALLATION AND USE

OF THIS PRODUCT.

Because the E8 automatic gate opener is only part of the total gate operating system, it is the re-

sponsibility of the installer and end user to ensure that the total system is safe for its intended use.

CAUTION

The gate will move freely and uncontrolled when the gate operator is removed from the gate.

ONLY disconnect the operator when the power source has been disabled (ie. battery or transform-

er( is off and the gate is NOT moving.

Manually Opening and Closing Gate

Disconnecting the Opener

1. Place release key into the release bolt and

unscrew fully

2. Pull actuator arm off gate bracket

3. Now the gate will swing freely

The gate can be opened and closed manually

when the actuator is disconnected.

If leaving the actuator arm off the gate please

disconnect power to avoid damaging the motor

or cable.

DO NOT have the release bolt done up tight

as this will make for a difcult release of the

actuator arm. May also cause jamming and or

binding.

Important Safety Information

For the Installer and End User

To reduce the risk of injury or death:

1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.

2. Never let children operate or play with gate controls. Keep the remote control away from

children.

3. Always keep people and objects away from the gate. NO ONE SHOULD CROSS THE PATH

OF THE MOVING GATE.

4. Test the gate operator monthly.

5. Use the manual/emergency release only when the gate is not moving.

6. KEEP GATES PROPERLY MAINTAINED.

7. The entrance is for vehicles only. Pedestrians must use separate entrance.

8. The gate must be installed in a location that provides adequate clearance between it and ad-

jacent structures when opening and closing to reduce the risk of entrapment. Swinging gates

must not open into public access areas.

Owner should observe the following:

1. Do not cross the gate while it is operating.

2. Keep children away from the gate and the remote controls.

3. Test the system frequently and monitor the high and low speed of the system.

4. Practice the use of the emergency release key. This is crucial in the event that the system

does not work.

5. Place the WARNING signs prominently on the gate to warn pedestrian of the automatic gate

operation on your premises. It is your responsibility to post the warning signs on both sides

of the gate.

Installer should observe the following:

1. Make sure the gate weight and length does not exceed the maximum specications.

2. The gate design must be suitable for the installation of the auto gate system.

3. Ensure that the gate is installed on at, level ground and can move freely in both directions

along the entire swing of the gate. A properly balanced swinging type gate should NOT

swing open or swing close when no pushing or pulling force is exerted onto it.

4. Control panel box must be installed in the area where it is not easily damaged.

5. Do not change with parts or components not supplied by manufacturer.

6. Make sure all wiring is correct and in accordance with electrical bylaws and in good condition

before supplying the mains power to the control panel.

7. Remove all power when doing any maintenance including solar.

8. Ensure the control panel box is free from water leakage and insects to avoid short circuiting

of the control panel. Silicon off any holes.

9. Never supply mains power directly to the DC motor

10. Transformer MUST be connected to mains power via RCD (residual current device).

11. Do not install the operating system if in doubt.

WARNING

Important Safety Information

For the Installer and End User

1. Attach the warning sign (included) to the gate to alert the public of automatic gate operation.

2. The gate is automatic and could move at any time, posing serious risk of entrapment. No one

should be in contact with the gate when it is moving or stationary.

3. Do not attempt to drive into the gate area while the gate is moving; wait until the gate comes

to a complete stop.

4. Do not attempt to “race the gate” while the gate is closing. This is extremely dangerous.

5. Do not allow children or pets near your gate. Never let children operate or play with gate

controls. Keep the remote control away from children and unauthorized users; store controls

where children and unauthorized users do not have access to them.

6. KEEP GATE SYSTEMS MAINTAINED. Always disconnect any power source from the opera-

tor before performing any maintenance.

7. To operate this equipment safely, YOU must know how to disconnect the operator for manual

gate operation.

8. Disconnect the operator ONLY when all power sources are DISCONNECTED and the gate is

NOT moving.

9. Make arrangements with local re and law enforcement for emergency access.

10. Distribute and discuss copies of the IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION section of this

manual with all persons authorized to use your gate.

11. IMPORTANT: Save these safety instructions. Make sure everyone who is using or will be

around the gate and gate operator are aware of the dangers associated with automated gate

systems. In the event you sell the property with the gate operator or sell the gate operator,

provide a copy of these safety instructions to the new owner.
