User manual CHAMBERLAIN SUB300

[. . . ] Purpose of usage The SUB100S adapter arm is used in conjunction with swing gates, in the case of which classic installation procedures are not possible. in classic installation contexts , the pivotal point of the gate is the same as the pivotal point of the motor arm. This is very easy if the gate post is fitted at the same time as the drive; retrofitting at a later date is, however, very difficult. Either the dimensional stability is not assured or the box cannot be shifted close enough to the post. [. . . ] Wind can slow the gate down or distort it, causing a marked increase in the force required to move it. O Weight of gate: The specified weight of the gate only gives a rough indication of the output required from the drive. The function which the gate is expected to perform is also important in this connection. O Temperature: Low outdoor temperatures can make it more difficult or impossible to set the gate into motion (e. High outdoor temperatures may cause the temperature cutoff (at about 135°C) to be triggered earlier. O Operating frequency/duty factor: The drives have a maximum duty factor of around 30-50% (e. This factor depends heavily on many influencing factors. The drive is not suitable for systems with a high cycling rate (continuous operation) and such use would mean that the guarantee becomes invalid. Please remember that you will require some additional material not included in the assembly kit delivered, such as empty piping, cables, screws, plugs, etc. In order to avoid undesirable oscillation, the wing should be stable and the hinges should have as little play as possible. The more easily the gate moves, the finer should the force adjustment be made. Low-rigidity wooden gates should be reinforced with a metal frame. The pivot point of the gate can be found on the mounting box = pivotal point of the arm (SUB 110 and SUB 180) (figure 5-8). Mount the arm which will later be welded to the gate and don't forget the bearing ball. SUB 100S is a special arm with rails with which the drive does not have to be positioned directly beneath the pivot point. This is ideal for retrofitting or for special pillar situations (max. Check the overall dimensions to ensure that you will have enough room to dig out a hole for the motor housing. The opening angle of the gate has an important influence on the position of the motor housing (figures 5-7). the motor housing must be set in concrete. The piping for the electrical wiring and the drainage should be borne in mind in this connection (figure 1). The top of the motor housing should be slightly higher than the concrete surrounding it. The concrete takes a couple of days to set completely. [. . . ] Setting of the end stops: The stops cannot be set until the motor has been connected to the power supply. If the settings are made without the controller the motor can be directly connected to 230V. For this purpose the capacitor must also be connected (see electrical connection). Caution: The motor is very powerful and can cause damage to the box and the gate system if it is not switched off at the correct time. [. . . ]
