Installation

G.O.A.T. installation should only be performed by licensed professionals. Improper installation may cause damage or malfunction. Please consult a certified technician before proceeding. 

Tools Required: 

  • Screwdriver (Phillips and flathead) 
  • Wire strippers/cutters/crimpers 
  • Electric drill & ½ in. drill bit 
  • 18-gauge electrical wire (Multi-colors recommended) 
  • Double-sided adhesive (Recommended) 
  • Mounting screws (Optional) 

Safety Precautions: 

  • Ensure the power is turned off before proceeding with installation. 
  • Do not connect to 120V AC to avoid device damage. 
  • Verify all connections before powering on. 

Prepare the Gate Operator 

  1. Remove the cover of the gate operator. 
  2. Identify the optimal source of 24V DC power. 
    1. Ensure you do not connect to 120V AC, as this will damage the device. 
    2. Use at least 18-gauge wire for connections. 

Locate Open Command 

  1. Identify the board terminal that triggers the gate to open (OPEN COMMAND / EXIT COMMAND). 
    1. It is recommended to use a ‘jumper’ to test the functionality of this connection. 
  2. Ensure the gate responds correctly before proceeding. 

Power Down for Safety 

  1. Open the gate and leave it open during the installation process. 
    1. It is recommended to allow tenants to access the facility 
  2. Turn off the power to the operator. 
  3. Disconnect any battery backup to prevent accidental power-on. 

Determine Placement  

  1. Identify an ideal mounting location under the operator cover. 
    1. Ensure it will not obstruct other components. 
    2. We will secure the G.O.A.T. enclosure using screws or double-sided adhesive (do not attach to the operator yet). 

Prepare Enclosure for Waterproofing Wiring 

  1. Drill a ½-inch hole in the G.O.A.T enclosure for waterproofing. 
  2. Position the hole close to the operator board for minimal wiring length. 
  3. Leave space for the water seal cap to be secured with the plastic nut from the inside of the G.O.A.T. enclosure.

Prepare & Route Wiring 

  1. Cut and prepare four wires for installation. 
    1. It is recommended to use separate colors* 
    2. Distinguish between POWER and COMMUNICATION 
  2. Insert the water seal piece through the drilled hole and secure it internally. 
  3. Fish all four wires through the enclosure hole. 

Connect Wiring to Board 

  1. Identify the NO (Normally Open) and COM terminals (3 & 4 - from left to right). 
  2. Ensure G.O.A.T. is set to NO (Normally Open). 
  3. Locate the DC POWER terminals (6 & 7 - from left to right) and secure connections. 
  4. Tighten all terminal screws to ensure a solid connection.

Test the Functionality 

  1. Temporarily connect the wires to the board. 
  2. Power on the operator and verify the G.O.A.T. has white blinking lights. 
    1. Check that no errors appear on the operator board. 
  3. Close the gate to confirm the G.O.A.T. functionality.

Verify Keypad Functionality (If Applicable) 

  1. If using a keypad in tandem, test its functionality now. 
  2. Send a test signal to open the gate. 
    1. Ensure the keypad does not interfere with the G.O.A.T. operation. 

Secure the Enclosure 

  1. Disconnect temporary wiring used for testing. 
  2. Ensure all wires are neatly routed through the waterproofing seal. 
  3. Seal the G.O.A.T. enclosure using the four provided screws.

Final Wiring & Power Up 

  1. Route wiring neatly to the board. 
    1. Trim any excess wiring for a clean installation. 
  2. Make final connections to the board. 
  3. Power on the gate operator and check for errors. 

Test Full Operation 

  1. Ensure no errors are displayed on the board. 
  2. Verify that the G.O.A.T. device properly controls the gate. 
  3. Conduct multiple test cycles to confirm reliability. 

Final Checks & Troubleshooting 

  • Verify all components are securely installed.
  • Replace the operator cover once all tests pass. 
Common Issues & Resolutions
  • Issue: Device does not power on.  
  • Solution: Check wiring and verify 24V DC power source.
  • Issue: Gate does not open when commanded. 
  • Solution: Verify NO and COM wiring on the G.O.A.T., test operator board with jumper.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed the G.O.A.T. device.
