IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS WARNING - To reduce the risk of injury or death: x x x x x x READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS. Installation should be performed by a professional installer. Required welding should be performed by a qualified welder. Should electricity be required, use a certified electrician only. Any device that requires 120 Volts AC should be U.L. approved.
APPLICATIONS The Apollo Model 1550ETL-1K/1650ETL-1K Swing Gate Operator is approved for Vehicular Class I & II usage under UL 325 Guidelines, and is designed to handle swing gates up to 16 feet in length and 600 pounds each. A professional fence or gate dealer is recommended to assure proper installation. Apollo Gate Operators are available only through qualified dealers with an outstanding reputation in the fence and gate industry.
PRE-INSTALLATION CHECKLIST The following check list should be used before beginning installation: Verify that the proper operator has been selected for this application. Verify proper installation and operation of the gate. 1. Are the hinges servicable? 2. Does the gate swing free and level? 3. Will the gate require a locking device? 4. Is the hinge and stop posts sturdy enough to handle the gate & operator? 5. Does the gate meet U.L.

OPERATOR INSTALLATION 1.1 - PIVOT ARM INSTALLATION (standard pull to open) Location of Pivot Point. Notes: PULL TO OPEN pulls gate open (actuator is extended when gate is in the closed position). PUSH TO OPEN pushes the gate open (actuator is retracted when gate is in the closed position). For PUSH TO OPEN installations see page 11. If a 400 Upgrade Kit is to be used, refer to the 400 instructions for pivot point location. The following instructions provide up to 105o of swing.
IMPORTANT Never weld parts to the gate or posts when the operator circuit board is powered. Doing so may damage the board beyond repair. 1.2 - Actuator Installation 1/2” x 3 1/2” Hex Bolt 1/2” Washer Do not over tighten Nut and Bolt 1/2” Lock Nut Figure 3: Actuator Installation 1.3 - Control Box Installation Mount the control box within 4 feet of the pivot arm. Do not mount the control box where the person using the push button on side of the box can come in contact with the gate.
1.5 - Apollo actuator motor wiring and connection to the controller Connect the Apollo 816-1K actuator motor leads to the 3-pin connector as shown in Figure 6. Apollo 816-1K Red and Black Red black Note: If the gate moves in the opposite direction from what is expected, reverse the actuator wiring from what is shown in the figure (Red to Pin 1, Black to Pin 3). Note - If gate moves in opposite direction from what is expected, reverse the motor power lead wiring.
1.8 - Limit Switch Adjustment 1. Install all gate accessories such as Photo-Eye’s, Sensors, Loops and other safety devices. 2. Apply battery power to the 1050 gate operator. 3. Remove the limit switch screw end caps from the Apollo 816-1K Series actuator. See Figure 8 Apollo 816-1K Series Limit Screw Adjustment. 4. Test the motor direction by pressing CLOSE. If the gate instead OPENS swap the RED and BLACK motor leads shown in Figure 7 and retest to verify correct operation. 5.

4 - OUTPUTS & INPUTS Commercial Gate Operator Accessory Outputs: OUT1 and OUT2: Individual, isolated relays provide COMMON, NORMALLY OPEN, and NORMALLY CLOSED dry contacts for switching accessories based on programming of the “Auxiliary IO” function. These outputs are programmed in the “FUNCTION Auxiliary I/O” menu. Magnetic Lock: Provides fused power (1.85A max) and isolated relay COMMON, NORMALLY OPEN, and NORMALLY CLOSED dry contacts for electrically powered and maintained magnetic locks.
4.1 - Gate Operator Accessory Inputs (Continued) Guard Station Open: (34) Dry contact input for a guard station open switch. Momentarily shorting the digital input to GND opens the gate to the full open position with the subsequent auto-close feature enabled. Guard Station Stop: (35) Dry contact input (Normally Closed) for a guard station stop switch. Momentarily opening this input stops the opening gate at its current position.
4.2.2 - Programming the plug-in receiver and remote controls SMXI/A Plugin Receiver: The SMXI/A 433Plug-In Receiver provides up to 15 channels for specific control of individual gate functions. The receiver includes built-in programming functions for adding or removing Nice FloR/A wireless remote controls to/from a gate installation.
4.2.3 - OVIEW REMOTE CONTROL OVIEW (see page 6 for Picture of OVIEW) Programming and diagnostic unit which connects directly to the gate controller and is part of the Nice “Opera” control system. The unit can be used in “stand-alone” mode via its front-panel keypad, or it may be accessed via a Bluetooth or cellular-enabled PDA, PC, or Smartphone when used with the O-View Software Suite.
6 - OPTIONAL INPUTS/OUTPUTS 6.1 - Fire dept. connection 32 FIRE 33 GND Dry contact input for a fire department control switch. Normally Open (NO) contact must be shorted to ground through a switch to open the gate. Figure 20 - FIRE DEPT. INPUT 6.2 - Exit and edge inputs wiring diagram 28 EDGE 29 GND 30 EXIT 31 GND The EDGE input may be configured as a monitored ANALOG input, or DIGITAL (NC or NO) input.
6.4 - Magnetic lock connection 7 NC 8 Com (Common) 9 NO 10 GND 11 V+ This connection is used to install the magnetic lock. In this instance a gate can be locked magnetically to prevent a forced opening. Consult lock manual for specifics on installation and wiring. Note: Terminal 11 voltage is equal to system input voltage. Figure 23 - MAGNETIC LOCK WIRING (EXAMPLE) 6.

9 - ACCESSORIES AND SENSORS EXTERNAL ENTRAPMENT PROTECTION: Non-contact and contact sensors must be installed individually or in combination with each other to provide external entrapment protection. Care should be exercised to reduce the risk of nuisance tripping, such as when a vehicle trips the sensor while the gate is still moving, and one or more non-contact sensors shall be located where the risk of entrapment or obstruction exists, such as the perimeter reachable by a moving gate or barrier.
10 - BOARD DIAGRAM Figure 27 - GENERAL BOARD OVERVIEW THE PROGRAMMING BUTTONS INDICATED IN THE ABOVE REFERENCE SHOULD BE USED ONLY AFTER UNDERSTANDING THE MANUAL AND ITS RELATION TO THE PROGRAMMING SEQUENCES SHOWN ON THE FOLLOWING PAGES.
