TMT 800LS Servicing
TMT 800LS Motor Servicing
The TMT 800LS gate operator, much like a car, will provide many years of excellent service if a service schedule is carried out at regular intervals. Follow these basic checks and do repairs in time to get the most out of your operator.
WEEKLY
- Clear away any dirt, sand, stones or foliage collected on the gate rail.
- Clear away any branches, shrubs or grass that might interfere with the movement of the gate.
MONTHLY
- Check for damage or cracks to the motor lid. Although the operator lid is designed for outside conditions, stones and severe hail may damage it. A cracked lid should be immediately replaced as water and dirt will damage the operator.
- Check physical end stops are secure and in place
- Check for insect and reptile infestations.
- It is recommended that moth balls be placed inside the operator housing to discourage these infestations which can cause damage.
EVERY 6 MONTHS
- Place the motor into manual mode and test the gate by opening and closing slowly, take note of any tight sections you may feel.
- Check for any battery leaks if you have added a battery, these can cause damage to the wiring.
- Check that the controller and other accessories are firmly in place and are not hanging loose.
- Check that the limit brackets on the racking have not shifted.
- Check guide rollers on the gate.
- Check all brackets are secure.
- Check the motor is firmly in place and cannot move.
- Check the rack for any damaged teeth.

TMT 800LS quick setup guide
TMT 800LS Quick Setup Guide
Our first step before installing the motor is to ensure that your gate is setup correctly for manual operation.
Sliding gate track
Ensure your aluminium or steel track is well bolted down to the concrete with no movement.
Gate wheels
Ensure your wheels are in good condition and that you can manually push your gate without any change in your push force.
It's not advised to use 3 wheels
Gate stop
A gate stop is required for the open position. This will prevent the gate from running off the track if the gate fails to stop.
The motor will learn from this stop.
Gate catcher
The gate catcher is required for the closed position of the gate. This will help prevent anyone from trying to lift your gate off the track as well as a fail safe for stopping.
The motor will learn from this stop catcher.
Gate guide
2 options of guiding your gate as it moves and keeping it upright. Firstly the guide and roller setup (as shown in photos) and secondly the slide guide and block setup.
Gate check
Last thing to check is that your gate is plumb in the open and closed positions.
Placing the motor into manual override
Insert Key
Turn key clockwise to unlock device
Pull the release bar open and slide gate
Anchoring the foundation plate
With your concrete slab layed and the correct positioning sorted for your conduit - place the foundation plate on the concrete slab and feed the conduit through the cable inlets of the base plate.
Keep a 60mm distance between the edge of the
base plate and the gate frame. This measurement is based on BMG racking.
Attach the base plate to the slab, using the 4
bolts supplied or other fixings.
Secure the motor to the base plate
Secure the motor to the base plate using the 4 screw holes.
Manually move the gate fully open and closed very slowly to ensure that the gate does not collide with the motor in any way.
Securing your wires - Outdoor Transformer & Internal Transformer
Feed your cables through one of the 2 inlets as shown below and secure them through the locking tab
Outdoor Transformer Setup - securing cables

Mounting the rack on the gate
1. Rest the rack on the pinion with the end of the gate aligned. Have the gate in the full open position, clamp one end of the rack to the gate and screw the other end on.
2. Fasten the rack to the gate with the self drilling TEK screws through the slots in the rack. To attach additional rack, slide the gate closed and repeat the procedure.
Mounting the marker magnet - EXTREMELY IMPORTANT
Limit brackets with supplied screws
Limit bracket attached to racking
Make sure your motor is in manual mode.
Open the gate until it hits the ground stop, now pull the gate back 40mm and install the limit bracket onto the racking, slide the gate bracket along until it just hits the spring (see image below), now screw the limit bracket to the racking.
Slide the gate into the closed position till it hits the catcher stop, pull the gate back 40mm and install the limit bracket onto the racking, slide the bracket along until it just hits the spring (see image below) and screw it to the rack, ensure both limit brackets are level.
Note: limits may require small adjustments after the gate has performed its system learn.
Once the sysetm learn has been performed, operate the gate to open/close and ensure the gate doesn’t touch the physical end stop. A 20mm gap is preferred.
Wiring up and performing the System Learn
Once your gate and motor are setup correctly, you can then move onto wiring up your transformer. You will find these details on page 10 of your user manual. We recommend doing the System Learn on your motor first before adding any other accessories and operating the gate a few times to make sure your setup is correct and the motor is operating as it should.
Check out the video for further help with setting up the motor and performing the System Learn.
