UL325 MODEL CLASSIFICATIONS CLASS I – RESIDENTIAL VEHICULAR GATE OPERATOR A vehicular gate operator (or system) intended for use in a home of one-to four single family dwellings, or a garage or parking area associated therewith.
SAFETY INSTALLATION INFORMATION 1. Vehicular gate systems provide convenience and security. Gate systems are comprised of many component parts. The gate operator is only one component. Each gate system is specifically designed for an individual application. 2. Gate operating system designers, installers and users must take into account the possible hazards associated with each individual application. Improperly designed, installed or maintained systems can create risks for the user as well as the bystander.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR OPEN ROLLER GATES Gate Edge on Fence Post for Open Direction Gate Edge on Rear of Gate for Open Direction WARNING • Injuries occur when people get their hands or feet caught between the top or bottom of the gate and the gate roller. These potential pinch-points should be guarded against at ALL times. Enclosed style gate tracks are available for refitting of these rollers from many fence suppliers. Also, roller guards are available for installing over the rollers.
WARNING WIRING NG N WARNING To reduce the risk of SEVERE INJURY or DEATH: • ANY maintenance to the operator or in the area near the operator MUST NOT be performed until disconnecting the electrical power and locking-out the power via the operator power switch. Upon completion of maintenance the area MUST be cleared and secured, at that time the unit may be returned to service. • Disconnect power at the fuse box BEFORE proceeding.

IF YOU HAVE PAD CONSTRICTIONS, EITHER ANGLE CAN BE UNBOLTED AND REVERSED TO ANGLE IN. NOTE: If you are replacing an SL580 and wish to use the same pad mounting hardware, the gate side mounting angle must be installed angle in. Angle Out Angle In Figure 2 NEW INSTALLATION Concrete Pad Preparation 1. Lay out concrete pad (Figure 2). 2.
POST MOUNTING (SL585 AND SL595) RETRO-FIT INSTALLATION The operators come from the factory configured to mount to an inside the frame post mount dimension of 26" (66 cm) (outside to outside of posts). The frame comes slotted to accommodate posts 24-1/8" (61 cm) to 26" (66 cm), outside to outside (Figure 1). NOTE: If you are replacing a SL580, the frame will require adjustment to 24-1/8". Figure 1 NEW INSTALLATION (FIGURES 2 AND 3) 1. Locate and anchor two posts made of 3" (7.
WARNING WARNING INSTALL GATE BRACKET AND DRIVE CHAIN CAUTION Figure 1 WARNING “Outside” Gate To prevent damage to the operator or gate, DO NOT drive the limit (nuts) actuators on the shaft past their normal positions. “Inside” 1. Mount gate brackets to the vertical front and rear posts of the gate (Figure 1). 2. Remove the operator cover or open access door. 3. Locate and engage the manual disconnect and lock it in place (refer to page 13). 4.
AVAILABLE CONDUIT ACCESS FOR THE ELECTRICAL BOX The accessory tray is equipped with several 1-1/2" pass-through holes as well as 3/4" and 1" knock outs for conduit connectors. The electrical box is equipped with 3/4" and 1" knock outs for conduit connectors. ON/OFF SWITCH POWER WIRING NOTES: Before running power wiring refer to wiring specifications on page 9 for correct wire gauges. Secure all electrical power connections inside the disconnect switch electrical box.
ADJUSTMENT LIMIT SWITCH ADJUSTMENT WARNING NOTE: Make sure the limit nuts are positioned between the limit switch actuators before proceeding with adjustments. 1. Remove control panel cover and locate the limit switch assembly. 2. Disengage the unit’s manual disconnect (page 13), then manually open the gate to its full open position (note direction of limit nut travel). 3. Adjust the open limit nut by depressing the retaining bracket to allow nut to spin freely.
INSTALL VENT PLUG 1. Disconnect power. 2. Remove the pin from the vented plug. 3. Reconnect power.

Operator Terminal Receiver 24 Vac Accessory Power can be found at terminals R1 and R2 located on radio terminal block. The LiftMaster Radio Receiver comes pre-wired to the operator • Remove the brass antenna from the accessary box and screw it onto the “F”-connector provided on the side of the gate operator. NOTE: The radio receiver is wired in the factory for single button control to open and close the gate. Remote control devices are not provided.
PROGRAMMING THE REMOTE TO THE RECEIVER 1. Pry open the front panel of receiver case with a coin or a screwdriver. Re-connect power to operator (Figure 3). 2. Press and release the “learn” button on the receiver. The learn indicator light will glow steadily for 30 seconds. 3. Within 30 seconds, press and hold the button on the hand-held remote that you wish to operate your gate operator. The opener will now operate when the push button on either the receiver or the remote control is pressed.
ACCESSORY WIRING (CONTINUED) Open Override Control Input Terminals 7 & 5 (Com) - Hard Open Override Control Input These terminals are intended for use only with the open control of a 3-button station that is installed within line of sight of the gate. A momentary activation of this input will cause the gate to open. Activation of this input for longer than three seconds will enable the control to be used as a constant pressure override device.
EARTH GROUND ROD INSTALLATION WARNING Proper grounding gives an electrical charge, such as from an electrical static discharge or a near lightning strike, a path from which to dissipate its energy safely into the earth. Without this path, the intense energy generated by lightning could be directed towards the gate operator. Although nothing can absorb the tremendous power of a direct lightning strike, proper grounding can protect the gate operator in most cases.
SEQUENCED ACCESS MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (SAMS) The Sequenced Access Management System or SAMS allows the customer more control when managing vehicular entrances to areas such as apartment complexes, businesses and gated communities. The basic concept of the system is that traffic is controlled by two gates installed in tandem, a fast moving gate such as a barrier gate operator and a slower moving more secure or ornamental gate such as a single or pair of slide/swing gate operator.
WARNING OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS WARNING To reduce the risk of SEVERE INJURY or DEATH: 1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS. 2. NEVER let children operate or play with gate controls. Keep the remote control away from children. 3. ALWAYS keep people and objects away from the gate. NO ONE SHOULD CROSS THE PATH OF THE MOVING GATE. 4. Test the gate operator monthly. The gate MUST reverse on contact with a rigid object or stop when an object activates the non-contact sensors.
SOLENOID ACTUATED BRAKE WARNING The brake minimizes over-travel caused by gate coasting. An added feature of the brake is to assist in preventing back driving of the gate. The brake is spring-applied whenever the motor is not running. Anytime the motor is running, the electric solenoid physically releases the brake. A solenoid brake is standard on SL585/595 operators. The brake is adjusted at the factory and should not need additional adjustment for the life of the friction pad.
CONTROL BOARD PROGRAMMING AND FEATURES (CONTINUED) FORCE CONTROL Set the force control pot such that the unit will complete a full cycle of gate travel but can be reversed off an obstruction without applying an unreasonable amount of force. On most operators this will be around the middle of the range. NOTE: For LED location refer to illustration on previous page.
TROUBLESHOOTING FAULT OPERATOR FAILS TO RUN POSSIBLE CAUSE 1) Improper wired stop control 2) Fault in the operator check the yellow diagnostic LED at the top right of the control board next to the programming dip switches.
TROUBLESHOOTING FAULT MASTER OR SECOND OPERATOR IS NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY POSSIBLE CAUSE 1) Failure to cycle power after setup 2) Communication wiring may be damaged or improperly wired for dual gate operation 3) Master or second unit is not programmed correctly FIX ➤ The power to each unit must be cycled in order to initiate proper master/second communication if the operators were previously in stand-alone mode.
SELF-REGULATING HEATER ACCESSORY The heater kits are thermostatically controlled heaters that are utilized in areas where the temperature has the potential to drop below freezing. The heater is adjusted to 15° C. To change the setting, rotate the temperature control knob on the heater to a new temperature setting. NOTE: The temperature readout is in degrees Celsius.
