Automation for swing gates with opening to the outside with his own hands - with video instruction

Remote control gate leaf is much more convenient and saves a lot of time.Installation of automation systems for swing gates (entry to the site, to the garage), with their own hands, by the forces of any man, even a little is understood in the art.How to do it, what to consider, if the opening is made out - with all that we shall understand.

Homemade Automatic Gate

phrase "with their hands" is not to be understood literally.Those who still thinks about the whole device "from scratch" control system is to look at the design features typical drive models.

It turns out that it is necessary to select, as independent production - a hopeless case.Collect body, build the "stuffing" is possible only in the presence of a certain material and technical base.READY The acquisition will significantly simplify the work for the team.If you plan to make a gate automation installation of the individual components of factory manufacturing (design team), you need to consider a number of points.

Which option is preferred?There are several types of drives - linear lever, even underground.Planning to do everything with your hands, it is better to choose the first modification.For flaps that open to the outside - the best engineering solution.What

provide?

One of the main criteria that need to be guided - safe operation.Hence, the device 220 volt use is undesirable;calculated only at its lowest value (within 12 - 36).Judging by the reviews of those who have self-designed automatic gate and used it one of the suitable options - a mechanism that controls the position of the satellite antenna.

system to work properly, and the engine is not "burned out", you should consider how to organize its automatic stopping at the extreme positions of the slide or if there is any obstacle in the process of opening the gate.Hence, it is necessary to use those elements of the scheme, as the proximity sensors (eg, photo) and the limit switches.

features automatic installation with your hands

sale many ready-made kits.They include, typically, electric / drive circuit elements (sensors, limit switches and the like), control.Modifications much.The price for the cheapest - about 15,980 rubles.For example, «WINGO» series 2024KCE, which is able to control the opening sashes weighing up to 400 kg by a motor of 24 V. At installation of purchased equipment should be guided by the recommendations of the manufacturer.

main problem that many face - individual instruction items are not completely understood.This can be caused by a low quality of translation into the Russian language, and calculation of manufacturers that if the installation will be done with his own hands, it is only a professionally trained person.Next - the main stages of work, knowledge of the nuances that will help when setting both finished and self-chosen set.

Preparing leaflets

Before installing the gate with their hands automation elements need to make sure they are easy, effortless opening.During the operation often appear skewed flaps.The reasons are different - "led" the support of the poor quality of its concrete, loosened the hinges and the like.Work on installation of automatic system should start with the fact that in order to bring the gate (about how to do swing gates, available here).

Preparation drive mounting locations

Their installation is done on the pillars.If they are made of metal, special problems will not arise.It is enough to weld brackets, and the issue resolved firmly fixed arrangements.But what about the pillars of brick?Arrange mortgages, which weld attach a channel - only one option.In principle, the figure is easy.For example, to do so.

height mounting gate control mechanisms - important question.Firstly, they must be placed strictly symmetrical, on the same level relative to the ground.Secondly, the linear actuators are aligned with the levels, since their effective work on opening the gate to the outside is only possible with horizontal installation.If heavy sash, it is desirable to mount the drive so as to be at their center (in vertical plane).Fourth, the opening goal after a retention mechanism somewhat narrowed, and it is also necessary to take into account.

Motor connection, as already indicated, it is desirable to do on the step-down transformer.The supply chain should include a thermal relay.This element of the scheme will protect winding from overheating in critical situations, especially in winter.For example, when the gate flaps glaciation strong, leading to an increase in their weight.

Wiring

It is mounted only in a protective "shell" - flute, cable channels.To connect the cable conductors are recommended from 1.5 "squares", and to drive them must be of not less than 4 (at least 1 - as a reserve in case of failure of one of the lines).If we approach the issue of e-mail / installation is rational, then for each direction need individual calculations, in the first place, according to the power consumption.This is true when the arrangement of control system is made up of separate components.

ready to set all the parameters of the circuit are specified in the instructions, therefore, work with their hands more simple.

Electronics

clear that its independent designing nobody will do it.Is that radio amateurs, but their tips are not required.In specialty stores are sold and control units (from 2680 rubles), and key chains (from 1 150 rubles).For the latter family is sufficient in an amount of 2 - 3 pieces.

Basic recommendations for the installation of automation with their own hands, in view of the fact that the door opens outward, the author has given, and quite detailed.What equipment to install the system, the characteristics of all components (eg, engine power) - this is the reader will have to identify yourself.Much depends on the weight of the valves, their size, the wind rose in the place of the object location and other factors.Good luck!
