DRIVE UNIT INSTALLATION
The ATA Elite swing gate opener is designed to operate most
residential swing gates. The gates must be in good working
condition and should operate by hand relatively freely. Wind
loading may affect the operation of the opener in high wind areas.
Correct obstruction and reversing settings should be chosen for
trouble free operation.
PRE-INSTALLATION INSPECTION
Before commencing installation check the following:
1. The gate moves freely by hand for it’s full opening and
closing travel.
2. The pier or post for mounting must be of solid construction
(Brick, solid timber or steel). It must bare most of the force
applied by the drive unit.
3. A weatherproof 240V 10A general purpose power point
should be available within one metre of the pier/post.
4. If dual gate openers are required, provision for underground
cabling should be made from one post to the other.
5. Side room clearance is adequate. Refer to Table 1 and Fig. 2.
If there is not enough side room available, the Minimum Side
Room Kit (Page 9) is required.
6. The mount distance of the Drive Unit should be recorded. This
value will be used later.

The mount distance for the drive unit and the hinge distance for the
gate can be selected to optimise the side room clearance.
NOTE: If the gate is already installed then measure the hinge
distance and use this table to optimise the mount distance.
