SAFETY SUMMARY It is imperative that everyone involved in the installation or operation of the LiftMaster model SL 1000X1 Slide Gate Operator reads the following warnings. WARNING! • A vehicle gate is a large, heavy object that is moved by an electric motor. A moving gate can cause serious injury or death! The safety and well-being of others depends on the installation of a safe system. • Improper installation of a gate operator can result in a dangerous system.
BASIC INSTALLATION HINTS AND RULES PLEASE READ THIS SECTION VERY CAREFULLY BEFORE BEGINNING YOUR INSTALLATION. In the sections that follow, detailed procedures are discussed for each step required to install a model SL 1000-X1 system. In addition to these specific procedures, there are a number of general hints and rules which will help ensure that your installation will be done correctly and efficiently. These are discussed below. 1. UNDERSTAND THE SYSTEM AND INSTALLATION SITE THOROUGHLY.
PART 1 SITE PREPARATION A. LOCATION AND LAYOUT Figure 1. Front Drive. Figure 2. Rear Drive. Figure 3. Mid Drive. 1. Always install the gate operator on the inside of the fence line, never on the public side of the fence. 2. All manual controls and activating devices should be mounted at least 6 ft. away from the gate to provide safety. 3. Allow enough clearance around the gate and the gate operator for installation and service. 4.
B. PAD AND MOUNT Figure 4. Pad And Track Ribbon. Figure 5. Bolt Down Pattern. Figure 6. Conduit Entrance Areas. 1. The concrete pad must be sufficient to support the gate operator and the forces created by the moving gate. LiftMaster recommends a pad 20” wide by 30” long by 24” deep (Figure 4). 2. The operator must be level and parallel to the gate, so the pad should be level and about 4” above ground level to prevent water entrance. 3.
C. POWER WIRING 1. Provide a conduit stub for the AC power. 2. The gate operator requires a 115 VAC 20 AMP single phase circuit. 3. Be sure to pull a ground wire in the conduit for the connection to the gate operator. Important: Do not rely on metallic conduit for earth ground. D. LOOP DETECTORS • The gate operator has a shelf that can support loop detector electronics.

WARNING For safety reasons, the Power Fail Operation Option is shipped with the battery unconnnected to the system. Do not connect the battery until all other installation and alignment procedures have been completed. Failure to observe this warning may result in the Power Fail Operation Option moving the gate at unexpected moments. To avoid injury, always turn off the unit power switch before working on gate. 1. Remove the 4 protective bolts that hold the cover on, lift the cover off, and set aside. 2.
B. CONNECTING POWER CAUTION Ensure that the AC power circuit breaker is turned off before wiring power to the switchbox. Run power cables through conduit to Gate Operator, then connect wires to the switch box as shown in Figure 11: 1. Wire nut the hot (black) wire to the black pig tail. 2. Wire nut the neutral (white) wire to the white pig tail. 3. Wire nut the ground (green) wire to the green pig tail. 4. Dress all wiring inside the switch box and install cover. Figure 11. AC Wiring. C.
E. POWER UP PROCEDURE CAUTION If gate is positioned at the ‘open’ limit, gate will automatically close when power is switched on. Position gate either at the closed limit or at no limit when preparing to switch power on. Always use extreme caution and follow all warnings in the Safety Summary. 1. Turn on circuit breaker that provides power to gate operator. 2. Turn the power switch on. If gate is positioned at the open limit, it will automatically cycle to the full closed position.
Figure 14. Limit Cam Setting. NOTE: The following procedures are for FRONT drive gates. For MID and REAR drive gates, reverse Left Gate and Right Gates procedures. 1. SETTING RIGHT GATE LIMIT CAMS (gate opens right, seen from the gate operator side) 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Make sure that switch S1 is set to the "Right" position. Turn on gate operator power switch. Using manual OPEN and STOP, move the gate to its proper open limit position. Rotate the Left cam ( until it just barely closes the limit switch.
NOTES: 1. Overload setting (R72) is factory set. Do not adjust. 2. Current flow varies with temperature. Do not tune the sensitivity measurements too finely, or they may change with the time of day or seasons. ♦ If your installation requires setting switch S1 the “Open to Right” position, use the “Open to Right" adjustment procedures below. If your installation requires setting S1 to the “Open to Left” position, use the “Open to Left" adjustments following the "Open to Right" procedures.
"OPEN TO LEFT" ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURES Left Gate Motion Adjustment (R160) 1. Initiate opening the gate. 2. Wait 4 to 5 seconds, then lightly "tug"against the edge of the gate to simulate an obstacle. 3. If the gate does not stop, reclose the gate and adjust the pot slightly counterclockwise. 4. Repeat steps 1-3 until the gate stops when tugged and has the desired sensitivity. Right Gate Motion Adjustment (R69) 1. Open the gate fully, then initiate closing the gate. 2.
J. POWER FAIL OPERATION OPTION CONNECTION a) Power Fail Operation Option Connection CAUTION Perform the next step (battery hookup) with care. Interchanging battery wires temporarily opens the the resettabale fuse on gate operator board, disabling the power fail option. To ensure a safe installation, the gate operator is shipped with the battery partially disconnected from the Power Fail Option electronics. To enable this option: • Connect white/red wire of option harness to positive (+) battery terminal.
K. CONNECTING INPUT WIRING Figure 16. Control Board Wiring. 1. Remove the plastic control box cover. 2. Wire any external control devices to the appropriate connections on the control board (Figure 16). See Appendix A for details on how each control input affects the gate operator.
L. POST INSTALLATION PROCEDURES 1. Setup 1. Turn on the main power at the gate operator's circuit breaker. 2. Verify that switch S1 (the Gate Open Direction switch) is set to the correct position. 3. Turn on the unit power switch (on master/slave systems, turn on slave and then master). 2. Manual inputs 1. Verify that Manual Open fully opens the gate and that the open limit switch stops the gate. 2. Verify that Manual Close fully closes the gate and that the close limit switch stops the gate. 3.
7. Alternate Action 1. If you want the OPEN input (Entry system) or RADIO input (Transmitter) to both open and close the gate, disable ATG and RT in programming steps 6 and 8. 2. Activate the OPEN command, wait until the gate is fully open, then activate the OPEN command again. The gate should close, verifying Alternate Action operation. Note: If you select Alternate Action, you can't enable RT and ATG in procedures 8 and 9. 8. Reclose Timer (RT) 1.
M. FINAL ASSEMBLY OF GATE OPERATOR Figure 17. Gate Operator Final Assembly IMPORTANT SAFETY PROCEDURE ⇒ If switch S2 (Power Fail Open Direction switch) is set to OPEN the gate, cycle the gate to its fully open position before performing step 1. ⇒ If switch S2 (Power Fail Open Direction switch) is set to CLOSE the gate, cycle the gate to its fully closed position before performing step 1. 1. Turn off power to the gate operator at the circuit breaker and wait for one minute. 2.

APPENDIX A SYSTEM OPERATION REFERENCE CONTROLS, INDICATORS, INPUTS AND ADJUSTMENTS For control and indicator locations, refer to the figure below. For detailed explanations of the Gate Operator's various, controls, indicators, inputs and adjustments, refer to the pages that follow. For setting instructions, refer to the manual entitled “Programming Instructions For The LiftMaster SL 1000-X1 and SW 2000-X1 Gate Operators” (Doc. No. 6001193).
CONTROLS KEYPAD The 12-key keypad is used for local operation, programming and service. SWITCH S1 GATE OPEN TO Selects the direction the gate will open (LEFT/RIGHT). LEFT/RIGHT SWITCH S2 POWER FAIL LEFT/RIGHT Selects the direction the Power Fail Operation option will move the gate (LEFT/RIGHT) if AC power fails. INDICATORS LED indicators light when controls and inputs are active.
FUNCTIONAL INPUTS NOTES: ➊ The term "activation" means closing an input circuit (via a relay or switch), and may be momentary or continuous. Momentary activations are superceded by any command. Continuous activations are superceded only by an overriding command. ➋ Activating any command when gate is at the open limit stops the Reclose Timer. When the command (except Manual CLOSE and STOP) is cleared, the Reclose Timer is reset.
SAFETY BAR Activation causes the gate to reverse for a programmable distance and stop. If Max Retry Count is enabled, gate waits a programmable pause time, then retries. The gate will retry up to twice before faulting out. RADIO INPUT (TB6) RADIO RECV Convenience terminals provide power and contact connection for a radio receiver. Activation is the same as OPEN. WARNING (TB8) WARNING OUT Relay contacts close depending on the programmed setting of the warning relay.
