Chain Slider Gate Operators
GDS 630 CH & GDS 630 CH HD
Made in Australia from Australian & quality imported components
•Place chain slider on a secure concrete pad with the operator face set back from the gate
approximately 40mm
•Move the gate through the full travel to check the gate is not bent to the extent that the gate
hits the operator and has ample clearance through it’s full travel
•Check the height of the operator compared to the bottom gate rail to ensure the chain support
tubes when fixed to the bottom gate rail will clear the bottom of the idler sprockets on the
chain drive operator by at least 25mm. If not, the operator will have to be raised to suit
•Chemical anchor or bolt down the operator using a minimum of 12mm fixings

4
•Securely bolt the 2 chain adjuster brackets to the front and back of the gate on the bottom
rail and at a height where the chain adjuster rods are level with the bottom teeth of the idler
sprockets
•Fit the spacer support tubes for the chain to rest on along the length of the gate at
approximately 1m spacing’s and at a height where they are approximately 25mm lower than
the bottom of the idler sprockets on the chain drive operator

5
•Manually release the drive (via the knurled knob at the back of the gearbox), the chain can
now sit on the spacer support tubes and be ran under the idler sprocket, over the drive
sprocket and under the other idler sprocket on the chain drive operator
•The chain can then be connected to each of the chain adjuster connector rods, this is done
by using the 4mm high tensile bolts which go through the chain and clamp the chain together
with the clamping plates
•Tension the chain so the slackness is taken out, but do not over tighten

6
Ensure stops are installed on the gate for the fully closed
and fully open positions.
Connect required P.E Beams. Adjust Limits to actuate
prior to gate end positions. Connect power supply.
Turn on Power. Observe that the M1 op and cl limit
indicator led`s turn off when the corresponding limit
switch is activated. If they are the wrong way around,
swap the op and cl limit wires around.
To commission the gate, move the gate to
approximately the half way position, tighten the
knurled wheel (Clockwise) engaging the clutch just
enough to drive but will still slip if the gate hits
something while travelling at high speed.
The clutch must be tightened up fully after
commissioning.

7
Press the opn button located under the dip switches
to begin opening cycle.
Ensure the direction the gate travels is in accordance
with the opening and closing status LED’s, if not
reverse two of the motor wires at the inverter
terminals.
Inverter settings can be adjusted via the keypad i.e.
Opening speed, closing speed and ramp times.
Automation settings operating modes can be adjusted
via the CB6 board, refer to manual for further
instructions.
Once Inverter settings are appropriately set proceed
to make final adjustments to the limits. They need to
be set so that they switch prior to the gate reaching its
full open and close positions, initiating
the ramp down period so the gate will slow down to a
complete stop at its final position.
Once set, proceed with the gate travel timing via the
run/set switch, then firmly tighten the clutch.

1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING! FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS COULD RESULT IN INJURY OR DEATH AND/OR DAMAGE TO PROPERTY
AND EQUIPMENT.
•Appropriately licensed and competent personnel only should install the automation equipment.
•The operators are designed specifically to open and close sliding gates or doors and should not be used
for any other purpose.
•Before commencing installation, read through this installation manual.
•Check that the operator and controls are in new condition and have not been damaged in transit.
•Check the gate or door and it’s associated support posts and walls to protect against shearing,
compression and other various traps which could cause serious injury or death. Take into consideration
the general installation and surrounding environment.
•Check the gateposts or mounting structure has the necessary strength and rigidity to support the
operator and the load of the opening and closing gate motion.
CAUTION!
Always incorporate the appropriate Photo Electric Cells, Induction Loops and any other safety
devices to protect both equipment and personnel. Extra caution should be employed when using
operator in auto close mode.
•Display any necessary signs to indicate any danger areas and automatic operation of the gate or door.
•The operators are not designed to be used in any hazardous areas or areas subject to flooding etc.
•All electrical connections and wiring must be performed with AS/NZS 3000-2007 as the guidelines.
(Or its counterpart for other countries outside of Australia and New Zealand)
WARNING! ELECTRICITY CAN KILL
•The manufacturer of the automation equipment is not responsible for the damage which may be caused
to either the operator, gate or door and any other person or equipment when: -
oWrong or poor installation practices were performed.
oNo or inadequate safety devices were used.
oEither the surrounding structure or the gate or door strength and rigidity was not sufficient for
the task in hand.
oInefficient locking devices were employed.
oPoor maintenance on the equipment.
oAny other circumstances beyond the manufacturers control.
•Isolate power before attempting any maintenance, qualified personnel only to carry out maintenance
•Only original spare parts are to be used should there be a requirement for them.

9
•Keep loose clothing and hands clear of the gate whilst in operation or potentially able to be operated.
•The installer should provide all information concerning the use of the automation equipment as well as
instructions regarding the manual override and maintenance procedures to the users of the system.
2. WIRING REQUIREMENTS
•Single phase 240v 10A non-earth leakage protected power supply to where operator is mounted.
*This is required because inverter VSD drive units inherently allow an earth leakage current to
flow. This current is minimal but a non RCD protected circuit must be installed and the method
of installation done so in accordance AS/NZS 3000:2007 to comply.
A connection made to an earth leakage protected circuit may cause nuisance tripping.
•Extra Low Voltage cables from operator for access control. (Shielded cable if over 8m runs).
3. INSTALLATION DETAILS
After reading the previous sections in this manual, and having checked for suitable installation, proceed as
follows:-
Electrical Cabling
•A suitably rated Isolator and 240v power supply should be available near to where the gate operator is to
be mounted. The following diagrams will provide measurements for the positioning of conduits and the
appropriate position for mounting the operator.
•When bringing power and control cables into the control enclosure inside the operator,
please leave enough slack in the cables, in this way, the enclosure can still be lifted up in
order to see and work on the controls easier. To lift up control enclosure, undo wing nut
on right hand side, once lifted up, re tighten the nut to keep enclosure in upwards position,
once finished, undo nut, drop enclosure back down, then re tighten wing nut.
Mechanical Installation
•Ensure gate rolls easily and has been installed in a manner where there is no excessive friction or binding
occurring.
•A concrete base approximately 600mm long x 300 wide x 300mm deep should be laid where the gate
operator is to be located.
•IMPORTANT ensure there are gate stops firmly installed in the fully open and closed positions. These
stops need to be engineered and installed such that they will be strong enough to stop the gate should the
limits fail at any time.
•Remove the gate operator cover and position mounting plate and operator in approximate mounting
location.
•Dynabolt or chemical anchor the bottom mounting plate to the concrete mounting pad using 12 x 100mm
fixings.
•Unscrew anticlockwise the manual disconnect knurled knob so the drive gear free wheels.
Electrical Connections
•Connect a non earth leakage protected 10A 240v supply to Din Rail terminals labelled A & N, Connect
earth to the earth Din Rail terminal.
•Conduits for power & control need to preferably come up through 3x25mm holes.
