In the world of gates, manual gates are out and automatic gate openers are in. This is largely due to the fact that automatic gates provide top-notch protection and have decreased crimes and burglaries from happening. Our team from Techno Gate GTA is here today with a guide to provide you with more information on how to install an automatic gate opener. For all GTA Swing Gate Operators, we recommend having an automatic opener to make entering or exiting your property easy!
1.Install the Gate
In order to install an automatic gate opener, it’s important to first have your gate installed correctly. Every piece should be perfectly aligned so that the gate can move naturally. Professional gate installers should be hired to complete this task correctly.
2.Open the Automatic Gate Opener
When one unboxes their automatic gate opener, it’s important to first take an inventory count to ensure that each piece is there before the project begins. This includes accounting for all of the screws, bolts, controller box, remote, clamps, and gate opener arm.
3.Test the Controller Box
In addition to taking inventory of what you’ve unboxed, now it’s time to test the controller box. Connect the arm to the controller box and then the controller box to the power source. This will allow you to see how the unit functions and if it does so correctly.
4.Install the Gate Opener Arm
During the installation, you can choose to close the arm by pulling it or pushing it. Choose either way and install the two clamps on each post of the gate accordingly. Next, you can install the gate opener arm. These are the most intricate steps of the process so it’s always recommended that professional help is used.
5.Power Up the Controller Box
The controller box can be installed on the gate posts and attached with the screws that have been provided. Keep in mind that if you have purchased the solar-powered option, you will need to set up and install the solar panel and battery box.
6.Set Up the Controller Box
Now it’s time to create and adjust the controller box. Here you can set the limits for opening and closing the gate. There are many functions of a controller box so it’s important to read the instructions of the unit and set it up accordingly.
7.All Done!
If you have followed these steps, you should now have a properly running automatic gate opener! With the help of a remote control or smart device application, you can now better manage who is coming in and out of your home.
