What maintenance should I do on my gate opener?

The manufacturer recommends checking the oil level periodically by removing the oil level screw and refilling the gearbox with S.A.E.75W/90.
We do recommend keeping an eye out for insect or bug infestation on the main control board as well as checking the nylon racking every so often to make sure there are no worn teeth or that the racking has dropped over time.
Is this kit supplied with full DIY instructions?

Yes
What distance will the remotes work from?

With our standard remotes you can get anywhere from 30mtrs to 50mtrs taking into account line of sight to the gate and area interference. For a longer distance our long range option could get you up to 400mtrs.

GATE WEIGHT - RUNNING FORCE - PULL FORCE

How to check that your gate is suitable for the
Ultima AC/DC 800 slide gate motor

	Gate Specifications
Max. Gate Mass	800kg
Max. Starup Force	32kgs
Max. Running Force	22kgs

Checking Pull Force & Running Force

The driveway gate pull and running forces should be measured before purchasing or installing any gate opener. Should the measured forces exceed those in the table above for the Ultima units, then the motor must not be installed. It may be possible to reduce these forces by carrying out maintenance on the gate rail but if not, then the motor must not be installed.

These forces can be measured using a fishing or luggage scale (see figure above).

Starup Force: place the gate in the fully open/closed position and pull on the scale until the gate starts moving. The value showing on the scale at the point that the gate starts moving is the Startup Force kgf. This should be checked in both directions.

Running Force: this is the maximum value read while the gate is moving before coming to the fully open position.

Checking the Effective Gate weight if on a Gradient

Gradient = A (0.3m) / B (4m)

Effective Gate Weight
When is a 200kg gate really 800kgs - Working out the effective gate weight

Effective Gate Weight = 40 x gradient + 1 x actual gate weight
Eg. A driveway, that falls 300mm over 4m (.300/4 = .075 gradient) has an effective weight of 800kgs
Effective Gate Weight = 40 x .075 + 1 x 200
Therefore, the example above wouldn't suit either of these motors

Other Examples:

80kg actual gate weight - Fall 100mm over 4m = 160kg effective gate weight

80kg actual gate weight - Fall 200mm over 5m = 208kg effective gate weight

150kg actual gate weight - Fall 350mm over 6m = 266kg effective gate weight

Template guide tips for installation

Tips for using the cardboard template guide when installing your actautor arm

The below example is showing us a pull to open setup.
Actuator arm on the inside of the property pulling the gate inwards to open.

This first image shows us with the gate in the open position and template setup. You will always set your gate up in the open position, generally around the 90 degree mark. This will allow the arm to have full retraction in the open and therefore no ground stop required. You will position your template so that it's pivot point marries up to the secondary bracket and arm pivot point. Using the short side of the template position it to the gate frame and mark the gate with a piece of tape beween the 2 end lines on the template. This will represent the gate bracket pin.

Once you have your mark on the gate from the open position using the short side of the template, you will then close the gate to hit its stop. Bring the long side of the template around to the closed gate frame. Now check that the tape marked on the gate falls within the long cardboard template. If it does, then you have the gate bracket marked and positioned on your gate as well as having the correct position for your actuator arm's pivot point. If the tape falls outside the long cardboard template then your pivot point is not correct which will result in the gate not fully closing. Try adjusting the pivot point and start again.

Image above shows a nice angle between the gate and actuator arm. If this is not set correctly and the arm runs parallel with the gate you will end up with a tired and eventually damaged arm.
