Bracket mounting for moovo XW432Pe - Suprabandit - 09-01-2014
Hi all,
i have spent a good few hours reading, reading again and then reading some more, the instruction on mounting the metal bracket on the wall/post to mount the motor to, and im very confused.
My gates are wooden gates with a hinge mounted on the post and gate leaf on the inside of the garden (hope that makes sence). now the difficulty i am having is working out at what angel the bracket should be at to allow the gate to open to between 90-110 degrees.
in the instructions it say to add C+D=A, but D is 0 or even possibly a -5mm. could anyone advice please. i can draw a basic diagram if my discription is poor.
Thanks

only pay strong attention to the a and b measurement they should both be a minimum of 150mm each

ok so can I just clarify with you.....
as long as A and B are a minimum of 150mm each from pivot it doesn't matter at what angle I mount the bracket together with regards to axis of rotation. I want it to be open between 90 and 110 degrees.
I have added a pic as well.

Hi just to confirm i have attached our version of the geometry, note the measurements change for all types of different arms, but moovo is 150 x 150 please do not pay attention to the other measurements on this page as it is for a nice toona arm, hope this helps

just want to say a massive thank you for your help. i installed them over the weekend and am chuffed to bits with them. the safety photocells are not yet connected as when they were only one leaf would open so for now they are disconnected but overall they are a great bit of kit. thank you so much!
kind of a bit gutted you guys dont do the roller garage doors which go with the electric roller otherwise i would be putting an order in shortly for one of them!
