1. Important Safety Information
Please read these important safety instructions and follow all instructions as
incorrect installation can lead to severe injury/death or property damage:
DISCONNECT the power from the MAINS before making any repairs or removing its
covers. ONLY experienced service gate installer can install the gate and control unit.
Drive through the gate system only after complete opening.
DO NOT operate the gate operator unless the gates are in full view and free from
objects such as cars and children/people. SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY and/or
property damage can result from failure to follow this warning.
The gate must be WELL BALANCED. Sticking or binding gate must be repaired by an
experienced service gate installer prior to Opener installation.
DO NOT allow control devices to be placed so that a person can access them by
reaching through the gate.
NEVER active your gate operator until you ensure that the area is clear of people,
pets or other obstructions.
When using the auto close mode, a PHOTOELECTRIC BEAM must be correctly fitted
and correctly tested for operation at regular intervals. EXTREME CAUTION is
recommended when using the Auto close mode. All the safety rules must be followed.
NEVER mount any device that operates the gate operator where the user can reach
over, under, around or through the gate to operate the controls.
We strongly recommend the use of PHOTOELECTRIC BEAM to provide ADDITIONAL
SAFETY PROTECTION.
Failure to comply with the instructions above may result in personal injury/death or
property damage. Our company does not accept responsibility for damage or injury
resulting from installing this operator.

5. Necessary Tools
The following tools may be necessary to install the ZK300DC operator. You will need an
electric drill, hacksaw, screwdrivers, tape measure, multimeter, level, wire cutters and wire
stripper, a socket set, and possibly access to a welder if your installation cannot use the
supplied brackets. If the brackets included do not fit your gate because of the dimensions
of your gate, you may have to fabricate brackets for your application or notch a column in
order to obtain the necessary set back.
6. Site Preparation
Before commencing installation, check the following:
The gate moves freely by hand for the full length of open and close travel.
Check that the structure is sufficiently strong and rigid, the operator must operate on
a reinforced point on the gate and that its dimensions and weights conform to those
listed in the specifications of this document.
The gate should be mounted to the fence post and swinging freely, there should be
little resistance in the swing of the gate.
Make sure that the gate is plumb and level.
The fence posts must be mounted in concrete.
If you want to use electric lock, make sure the bottom of the gate is 45-50mm from
the ground. If the electric lock is not required, make sure the distance from the
bottom of the gate to the ground more than 20mm.
In order to protect the wires, between the gate operator and the control box,
armored cable, galvanized cable or PVC conduit must be set into the concrete when
it is poured. The diameter of the cable must be more than 20mm.
Wires within the cable shall be located or protected so that no damage can result
from contact with any rough or sharp part.

Use another cable for safety devices (such as electric lock, infrared photocell, flashing
light, external button switch etc.), electrical lock wire should be more than 1.5mm2,
and the other wires should be more than 0.5 mm2.
To prevent rainwater from entering into the cable, arrange the cable as show in Fig.1.

To release the operator by turning the release nut anticlockwise.
The gate is mounted on one face of the mounting post, and the operator is mounted on the
face 90 degrees from it. Below is schematic of push to open configurations.
As shown in the diagram below, correctly mounting geometry assures that the desired
degrees of swing are achieved, that the gate speed is correct, and that the operator and
gate will operate properly and have a long life.

Locate the gate operator between the two hinges, the installation height range is 300 –
800mm. this will prevent the gate from twisting and flexing. Add a cross bar on the gate if
necessary.
Note: If the operator is mounted at a height above the specified range, and the gate is not
sturdy enough, then it may result in bending or damage to the gate and gate operator.
