GEMINI 24v Sliding Gate Motor Installation Guide and Manuals

Quick Installation Instructions for Gemini 24v Complex Gate Motor

Initial Preparations for Mounting the Base Plate (Page 7)

• Before installing the motor, ensure that the gate is in good mechanical condition, correctly balanced, and opens and closes properly.
• Fully close the gate and place the unit (with base plate attached) in position so that the pinion gear is approximately 15mm away from the gate. Ideally, locate the base plate against the existing gate track.
• Ensure that the centreline of the gate is parallel with the centreline of the pinion. This will ensure that the centreline of the rack will run on the centreline of the pinion. Clearly mark the position of the base plate.
• Remove the complete unit and prepare a foundation for the base plate. Consult your local Builders Supply Store for the necessary information on concrete strengths, mix ratios, and hardening times.
• Install conduit piping in the foundation to correspond with the opening in the base box, through which the electrical cables are routed.
• Remove the base plate from the unit. Place and stitch weld the base plate to the existing track.
• Cast concrete into the previously prepared foundation. Ensure that the exact position (previously marked) is maintained to ensure correct mounting of the unit. The base plate can also be mounted in position by means of fasteners onto an existing concrete foundation.
• Mount the GEMINI on the base plate and align as previously described. Also, ensure that the height adjustment nuts are at exactly the same level to ensure even distribution of forces on the base box.

Please note that the GEMINI DC sliding gate system comprises of the following (Page 5):

• GEMINI gate motor

Additional items to be used with the motor include GEMINI Anti tamper bracket slide, GEMINI IRB set Wired/Wireless, GEMINI Wheel kit 60/80mm, Lock Discus 70mm, Rack Steel/Nylon, and Wi-Fi/Bluetooth Receiver.

For further installation steps such as mounting the rack, connecting the 220V AC electrical supply, and other connections, please refer to the original document. If you encounter any problems during the installation, the document also includes a troubleshooting guide (Page 20).

Remember, incorrect installation can lead to severe injury, so please follow these instructions carefully. If you need further assistance, reference the manual found later on the page or contact us today and we will connect you with a leading partner in your area!

Mounting Steel Rack (Page 8)

• Starting at one end of the gate, weld the rack in position using the angle iron brackets.
• It is mandatory to install stoppers as indicated in the manual’s figure 1.
• Mount mechanical stops to one end of the loose rack as per the drawing. Now position the assembly as per figure 1.
• Angle iron brackets, not to be more than 600mm apart, can now be utilised to attach the rack to the gate.
• Allow a free play of approximately 2mm between the pinion and the rack.
• When moving the gate to the next position, the manual override lever must be disconnected for free movement of the gate.
• For wooden gates, drill two holes in the angle iron bracket and secure to the gate with wood screws. To prevent the gate from burning, mark the position of the angle brackets and weld to the rack before securing to the gate.

Mounting Nylon Rack (Page 9)

• Mount a mechanical stop at one end of the nylon rack as per Figure 2. Drill and screw the nylon rack onto the gate, ensuring that there is approximately 2mm free play between the pinion and the nylon rack.
• Mark and drill each corresponding mounting hole on the rack, ensuring that approximately 2mm free play is maintained. Screw the rack to the gate.
• Bolt stoppers to the gate by means of M6 x 90 bolts and nuts as per figure 2. Alternatively, the stopper could be welded onto the gate.
• Final adjustments can be made by sliding the unit in the slotted holes to achieve the correct alignment. Tighten the mounting nuts.
• The remaining stopper can now be attached to the rack in such a position that it prevents the gate from overriding the fully open or closed position.

Please note that the manual also includes a circuit board layout (Page 12) to ensure that all the legal requirements for your local area are complied with.

For further installation steps such as connecting the 220V AC electrical supply, and other connections, please refer to the original document. If you encounter any problems during the installation, the document also includes a troubleshooting guide.

Connecting the 220V AC Electrical Supply (Page 10)

• Under no circumstances must the main electrical supply be wired directly from a power source. As a safety precaution, an ON/OFF switch must be incorporated into the electrical circuit, normally within 1 meter from the unit.
• Fuse rating for Power Supply: 0.2 – 0.5A Maximum.
• Electrical connections should be done by a qualified electrician in accordance with applicable regulations.

Other Connections (Page 11)

• Battery: Make sure the red wire is on + and the black wire on –.
• Push button: Connect to removable connector block COM and TRIG marked on PCB.
• Pedestrian push button: Connect to removable connector block COM and PED marked on PCB.
• Infra-red sensor: Connect to removable connector block COM and IR BEAM and 24V+ marked on PCB.
• Keypad: Connect to removable connector block COM and TRIG or PED (optional) marked on PCB.
• Additional receiver: Plug in on electronic control card marked RECEIVER PLUG.
• LED Point: Available for extending status LED to a remote location.
• Auto close loop: When the loop is removed the auto close function is disabled.
• 220V light: A 220V light can be switched on by the PC Board.
• 24V supply: Additional 24 volt point available to provide power for infra-red beams or keypad, etc. (Max 1 Amp).

Please note that the manual also includes a circuit board layout (Page 12) to ensure that all the legal requirements for your local area are complied with.

Programming a GEMINI Code Hopping Remote Controls

The transmitters supplied with this motor have already been programmed. Only additional transmitters and receivers need to be programmed. Once the electrical supply is correctly connected, the additional transmitters can be programmed. If a non-GEMINI remote control is used, program the control as per the supplier’s instructions.

Steps to Program the Remote Controls:

• Press and hold the transmitter (remote) button.
• Press and release the learn button on the PCB.
• The receiver LED on the PCB will flash twice.
• Release the transmitter button after the LED flashes twice.
• Repeat steps 1-4 for additional transmitters.

To erase all Remote Controls:

• Press and hold the LEARN button until the receiver LED (LD2) turns off.

Changing the Electrical Motor Direction (Page 14)

• The electrical motor direction is set by positioning the gate’s dipswitch on the electronic control card either to the left or right.
• When standing inside the premises facing the road, if the gate motor is on the left-hand side, the motor direction should be set to “LEFT/OFF”. If the gate motor is situated on the right-hand side, the motor direction should be set to the “RIGHT/ON”.
