Visual inspections during the installation of a swing mechanism
The first point of inspection during the installation of a swing mechanism is whether there is space for the arm. We open the door 90o and observe if there is space behind it for the mechanism. If the door abuts a structural element or other obstacle (like the left leaf in the diagram below), then a mechanism cannot be installed without modifying the door or creating the appropriate space. (in this specific case, digging out the structural element and creating space for the motor)
Depending on the user's needs, the gate can be of an open or closed type. Open types allow visibility and air passage as they are usually designed with railings. In contrast, closed types do not allow visibility to and from the area and, of course, air passage. This often makes movement difficult as wind pressure exerts great forces on the door and consequently on the mechanism. Therefore, in areas where strong winds prevail, it is incorrect to install a mechanism on a blind swing gate. In the best case, the door will not function correctly (it will partially close) when there is wind pressure, and there is a high probability that the mechanism will be damaged.
This point requires special attention as no manufacturer's warranty covers damages caused by wind pressure. In many cases, we could have better door performance by installing a stronger mechanism and/or an electric lock. In most cases, however, our advice is not to install a swing mechanism on a blind gate unless it is protected from strong wind pressures. (e.g., in densely populated areas, if there is a tall building in front, etc.). A sketch of a single and double leaf follows:
- It must operate correctly manually
- It must have a mechanical stop
Swing mechanism installation distances - Operating modes
Swing mechanisms can operate in 2 ways:
1st way: They pull the door to open it and push it to close it. (opening inwards)
2nd way: They push the door to open it and pull it to close it. (opening outwards)
The distances 'X' AND 'Y' for the mounting position of the mechanism must comply with the tables and diagrams below for both installation methods.

Single leaf swing garage door - wiring
- (1) The mechanism requires a 3x1.5mm² or 3x2.5mm² cable if the installation point of the automation is far from the control panel. (It is advisable for the mechanism to have a separate fuse in the control panel.) The cable must be waterproof and in a conduit with a diameter of at least Φ16. The provision left by the electrician must be sufficient (1.5m) to reach the installation point of the electronic control panel.
- (2) Wired photocells require a 4×0.6mm² cable for the receiver and a 2×0.6mm² cable for the transmitter. Usually, we place the receiver near the mechanism and the panel. If it is impossible to route a cable across for the photocells, we can install photocells with a reflector, which only require wiring on one side. (So, line 2 is not required).
Notes:
- A single-leaf or double-leaf gate requires one control panel.
- Heliflex type flexible PVC conduits are the most suitable for this type of installation.
- Wiring must be protected and watertight to prevent short circuits, etc.

Manual override of MPC SW600 swing mechanism
Disengaging the MPC SW600 motor is a simple procedure. Insert the manual override key into the motor and turn it clockwise. This way, the motor switches to manual operation.
By reversing the procedure, turning the key counter-clockwise, the motor locks and returns to its normal operation.

Description of Witt Sensoric RP25 reflector safety photocells
- Besides not requiring wiring, they also don't require batteries like other wireless photocells. This practically means that the user installs them and never deals with them again.
- The large reflective surface of the reflector makes their operation more reliable.
- The design of the Witt Sensoric RP25 photocells is suitable for outdoor use, which makes them suitable for use in garage doors.
- They have a range of 15m, making them suitable for most garage doors/gates.
- They are not interfered with by sunlight or other light sources as they operate with a polarized light filter. This means they can detect even reflective objects between the transceiver and the reflector, so they are not easily fooled by the shiny surface of a car.
