Installation
Prepare a level foundation, secure mounting brackets, and align the gate opener with the gate track. Use the supplied bolts and washers; tighten to manufacturer torque. Verify alignment before powering on. Ensure the gate arm is free of obstructions and the safety sensors are proper positioned.!!
Site Preparation and Mounting Instructions
Before installing the Aleko gate opener, ensure the installation area is clear of debris, vegetation, and any obstructions that could interfere with gate movement. The mounting surface must be level, stable, and capable of supporting the combined weight of the opener and gate arm. Use a laser level or a spirit level to verify horizontal alignment; any deviation greater than 1 mm over a 3‑meter span can cause mis‑alignment and premature wear.
Mark the exact centerline of the gate track with a chalk line. This line will guide the placement of the mounting brackets. Drill pilot holes through the gate frame at the bracket attachment points, using a drill bit that matches the diameter of the mounting bolts supplied with the unit. Counter‑sunk the holes to allow the bolts to sit flush with the bracket surface, preventing stress concentrations.
Attach the mounting brackets to the gate frame using the provided stainless‑steel bolts and lock washers. Tighten bolts in a star pattern to distribute torque evenly. Verify that the brackets are firmly seated and that the gate arm can swing freely without binding. The gate arm should have a clear clearance of at least 50 mm from the gate frame and any nearby structures.
Position the opener housing on the prepared mounting plate. Align the mounting holes on the housing with the bracket holes. Secure the housing to the brackets with the supplied bolts, again tightening in a star pattern. Check that the opener is level; use a bubble level to confirm the top of the housing is horizontal. If the housing tilts, adjust the mounting bolts or add shims to achieve proper alignment.
Inspect the gate arm’s pivot point for smooth rotation. Apply a light coat of silicone lubricant to the pivot pins to reduce friction. Ensure the gate arm’s weight is evenly distributed; if the arm is heavy, consider adding a counterweight or adjusting the arm length to balance the load. This step is critical for maintaining the opener’s longevity and preventing motor overload.
Once the mounting is complete, perform a test run. Manually operate the gate to confirm that the opener’s limit switches engage correctly and that the gate stops at the designated open and closed positions. Adjust the limit switch positions if necessary, following the manufacturer’s adjustment procedure. After successful testing, the gate opener is ready for wiring and power connection.

Manual, Remote, and Automatic Gate Operation
Manual operation is performed by pressing the on‑board button located on the front panel. When activated, the gate travels to the fully open position until the limit switch is engaged, at which point the motor automatically reverses to close the gate. This mode is ideal for troubleshooting or when the remote receiver is out of service. Remote operation uses the 433 MHz wireless receiver built into the unit. The handheld remote sends a unique code; the opener verifies the code, then initiates the opening sequence. The remote can be used from up to 30 m away, and the LED on the receiver flashes green during a successful command. Automatic operation is triggered by either the proximity sensor or the built‑in timer. The proximity sensor detects a vehicle within 1.5 m and opens the gate; after a preset delay of 5 s, the gate closes automatically. The timer can be programmed to open the gate at specified times, making it suitable for high‑traffic sites. All three modes are selectable via the front panel switch; the LED indicator shows the mode: green formanual, blue forremote, red forautomatic. The unit will not open if the safety sensor detects an obstacle, ensuring safe operation. A manual override button is available to stop the gate in any mode. The remote receiver can be reset by holding the reset button for 5 s. Automatic mode can be disabled by setting the timer to “off.” The opener incorporates a safety interlock that prevents opening if safety sensor is triggered, providing a layer of protection.
