Check your motor
Read the nameplate and the supplied instructions. Confirm the motor configuration, control board and limit-switch type before installation.
Sliding Gate Motor Installation Guide
Mount the base, align the gear rack, set the limits and check the system. Follow a clear installation sequence based on the supplied DCK series user manual.
For qualified installers. Based on the DCK156D–DCK196D and DCK200 manual. Always match the instructions to your motor and control board.
01 / Preparation
Before You Begin
MECHANICAL CHECK
Check the gate
Verify smooth manual travel, the planned base position and the rack path. Identify trapping points and keep the complete travel area clear.
ELECTRICAL CHECK
Check power and protection
A qualified technician must confirm supply requirements, grounding, leakage protection and short-circuit protection for the equipment and local rules.
DCK156D / 166D / 176D / 186D / 196DDCK200: Standard / Industrial / Heavy Duty / Industrial Heavy Duty
Safety first: Isolate power before wiring, mechanical adjustment or maintenance. Secure the gate against unintended movement, keep children and other people away, and never bypass safety devices. This page is not a substitute for the supplied manual or professional commissioning.
02 / Installation Overview
Follow the Installation Sequence
Complete the mechanical installation before electrical checks and controlled commissioning.
Installation / 01
Install the Metal Base
- Position the metal base to suit the gate and rack line.
- Secure the base using the project-appropriate foundation and fixings.
- Check alignment before fastening the motor.
Do not treat Fig. 1 dimensions as universal foundation dimensions for every model.
Installation / 02
Secure the Motor
- Mount the motor on the metal base with bolts.
- Align the output gear with the planned rack position.
- Check that the mounting assembly is secure before proceeding.
Foundation details and tightening requirements must be confirmed for the actual equipment and site.
Installation / 03
Mount the Gear Rack
- With power isolated and the gate secured, disengage the drive using the supplied release device.
- Position the rack on the gear teeth and move the gate slowly to establish alignment.
- Mark the mounting points as the gate moves, then secure the rack to the gate.
- Check engagement along the full travel without forcing the gate.
The gate must not rest its full weight on the motor gear. Obtain the correct model-specific clearance; no universal rack gap is specified here.
Installation / 04
Check the Manual Release
- Keep the power isolated and control the gate against unintended movement.
- Use the supplied key to disengage the drive and verify manual movement.
- Re-engage the drive before any powered operation, following the supplied model instructions.
Figs. 3 and 4 illustrate different housings, not separate release and engagement stages. Verify key direction on your actual unit.
Installation / 05
Install the Correct Limit Switch
Install the bracket on the rack according to the required final travel positions. Use the limit type fitted to your motor; these are alternatives, not two devices required on every unit.
Magnetic Limit Switch
Point the magnet toward the motor and position it relative to the magnetic limit switch inside the housing. Verify the arrangement and clearance in the supplied instructions.
Spring Limit Switch
Position the switch flapper so that it contacts and correctly operates the spring switch at the required travel position. Do not allow overtravel or mechanical impact.
03 / Electrical Work
Wiring and Safety Device Connections
Match the wiring diagram to the motor and control-board version before making connections. Fig. 7 shows the manual’s motor and limit-switch reference; it does not establish every safety-device or mains-input terminal.
- Verify supply voltage and frequency against the nameplate.
- Confirm protective grounding and the required protective devices.
- Use the correct control-board manual for infrared protection and other safety accessories.
- Check installed safety devices during commissioning.
Power isolated. Qualified personnel only. Do not connect by wire colour alone or assume this diagram applies to a different board. Ask OMKER if the actual terminal labels do not match.
04 / Commissioning
Test and Adjust the Motor
Testing is a controlled task for the qualified installer. Keep the travel zone closed to people and vehicles.
01
Before Power-On
Check supply data, grounding, wiring and mechanical mounting. Remove obstructions from the travel area.
02
Manual Movement
With power isolated, release the drive and verify smooth manual movement. Re-engage as specified before powered testing.
03
Controlled Trial Run
Follow the model-specific trial-run procedure. Observe the gate and stop immediately if motion is abnormal.
04
Verify Both Limits
Isolate power before repositioning limit components. Repeat controlled tests and verify final open and close positions.
Stop if anything is unexpected. Review the installation and matching manual before continuing. Controller learning, remote pairing and force settings require the relevant control-board instructions and are not specified by this guide.
05 / Final Inspection
Installation Checklist
Use this as a handover record, not a replacement for a safety assessment or model-specific commissioning requirements.

06 / After Installation
Manual Release and Routine Checks
Manual Release
The lockable release permits manual gate movement during a power outage. Isolate power, secure the gate, and follow your model’s key instructions. Re-engage the drive before powered operation.
Review the release diagrams ↗Routine Inspection
Disconnect power before maintenance. Check grounding, mountings and component condition. Follow the supplied manual for lubrication; do not add or replace internal lubricant based on generic advice.
The supplied manual states that its internal lubricant does not require replacement or replenishment. Confirm applicability to your exact unit.
