INSTALLATION SAFETY GATE AUTOMATION INSTALLATION SAFETY While the manufacturer has designed the system under strict safety standards, it is ultimately the installers responsibility to follow and comply with national and local laws, codes and safety standards that apply to the mechanical, electrical and operational aspects of the gate automation system.
OPERATIONAL SAFETY 5 GENERAL SAFETY WARNING! An incorrect installation or improper use of the product can cause damage to persons, animals or property. • Automation should be installed on a gate which is moving freely. Any issue with the smooth opening of closing of a gate will not be corrected by adding automation. • Scrap packing materials (plastic, cardboard, polystyrene etc) according to the provisions set out by current standards. Keep nylon or polystyrene bags out of children’s reach.
THE INSTALLER'S CHECKLIST Installing the actuator in the order described below will ensure proper and faster installation. CAREFULLY READ ALL SAFETY INFORMATION. PAGES 4 & 5 INSTALL THE POST BRACKET.

PROCEED TO INSTALL THE CONTROLLER. FINE-TUNE THE LIMITS SENSORS. INSTALL THE SNAP-RINGS.
POST BRACKET MOUNTING When installing the post bracket, two distances are taken in consideration: A – the parallel PHOBOS' PIVOT POINT distance from the center of the hinge of the gate to the center of the pivot point of the actuator...
GATE BRACKET MOUNTING C Phobos N BT 27.5” Phobos N L BT 32” C — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — Model C When measuring C dimension, the gate must be at its fully closed position. The measurement for the C dimension is taken from the center of the actuator's pivot point, to the center of the attach point of the gate bracket.
MOUNTING THE ACTUATOR 9 1) WIRE THE MOTORS - Before attaching the actuator to the mounting brackets, wire the motor cable (included) and then install the protective cover as illustrated. The supplied rubber grommet for the cable must be installed to keep moisture out of the motor limit board.. Rubber grommet 16 AWG STRANDED OR BETTER WHITE RED BLACK 2) ATTACH THE ACTUATOR - Follow illustrations to install the actuator to the post and gate brackets. TIP: Do not install the snap rings yet.
SETTING THE LIMITS 1) SET TO MANUAL OPERATION Disengage the drive gear by using the triangular key and turning clockwise. 2) SET THE CLOSE LIMIT - Push the gate to its fully closed position. Remove the screw that holds the proximity sensor at the front end of the actuator. Slide it back so that the back end of the sensor housing is 3-1/2” from the center of the drive carriage and reattach screw that secures sensor in place. 3) SET THE OPEN LIMIT - Push the gate to its fully open position.
MANTAINENCE DISCONNECT ALL POWER INCLUDING BATTERIES IF APPLICABLE BEFORE PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE OR REPAIR TO THE ACTUATORS MAINTENANCE - Inspect the screw-drive gears for lubrication, debris and cleanness at least once a year. For actuators installed in areas where dirt and dust are a concern, maintenance should be done at shorter intervals. Keep the screw-drive lubricated using BFT grease part number: I101115. Do not apply grease if gears are dirty.
