Sure! Here is a step-by-step guide to install the APC PA-4200 Heavy Duty 24V Articulated Arm System:
1. Preliminary Checks:
- Ensure that the gate structure is suitable for automation.
- Make sure the gate leafs move properly and uniformly without any irregular friction.
- Check that the gate hinges are in good condition, with no rust or biting, and well greased.
- The gates should be able to be freely opened and closed before installing the automation system.
- It is recommended to have a gate stop installed for the closed position.
2. Important Safety Information:
- Make sure there is sufficient space for the gate(s) to swing open fully.
- Install the control panel box within 9 meters maximum cable distance from the motor and ensure it is not damaged.
- Do not use parts or components not supplied by the manufacturer.
- Check all wiring works before connecting the battery, solar panel, or transformer to the control panel.
- Turn off the power and disconnect the battery when doing any maintenance.
- Ensure the control panel box is free from water leakage.
- Do not supply mains power directly to the motor, control box, or any accessories.
- Do not install the operating system if in doubt. Contact the manufacturer.
- Do not cross the gate while it is operating. Safety sensors are only for accident prevention.
- Keep the remote controls in a safe place and away from children.
3. Tools Required: Gather all the necessary tools for installation.
4. System Dimensions: Refer to the manual for the system dimensions.
5. Clutch Override: Familiarize yourself with the clutch override procedure in case of an emergency or during installation.

- Determine the motor bracket placement using the measurement chart provided.
- Install the post bracket, ensuring it is 5mm higher than the gate rail.
- Securely install the motor onto the post bracket using the supplied allen bolts and nuts.
- Measure 655mm diagonally from the motor drive shaft to the gate and install the gate bracket to the gate rail.
- Disengage the gate motor.
- Assemble the main arm, secondary arm, and gate bracket.
