Hörmann magnetic limit switch for LineaMatic, operators up to 02/2017

The Hörmann LineaMatic sliding gate operator detects the closed position of the gate with a magnetic contact. The sensor is in the operator housing; the counterpart with the magnet is on a plastic holder fixed to the gate. When the magnet comes within 20 mm of the sensor, the operator stops. The contact works without touching and therefore without wear.

When to replace the holder

The plastic holder is permanently outdoors. UV radiation and frost gradually make it brittle and the magnet can break off. The operator then does not recognise the closed position and the gate can travel past the end position, which can damage both the gate and the operator. Replace a damaged holder as soon as possible.

What to bear in mind

• Operator age – the part is only for LineaMatic series 1 (manufactured 03/2007 – 02/2017). For a newer operator choose the holder for LineaMatic from 03/2017.
• Sensor – if the holder is fine and the operator still does not recognise the end position, the magnetic sensor in the operator housing may be faulty.
• End position – moving the holder on the gate changes the gate's closed position.
