IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS WARNING To reduce the risk of injury: READ THE FOLLOWING DIRECTIONS. DO NOT EVEN THINK OF STARTING UNTIL YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTAND THESE DIRECTIONS. IF THERE IS SOMETHING YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND CALL US. Never let children operate or play with gate controls. Keep the remote control away from children. Always keep people and objects away from the gate. No one should cross the path of the moving gate. This operator must be tested monthly.
INSTALL THE GATE OPERATOR ONLY WHEN YOU HAVE READ THE FOLLOWING: *Confirm that the gate operator being installed is appropriate for the application. *Confirm that the gate is designed and built according to current published industry standards. *Confirm that all appropriate safety features and safety accessory devices are being incorporated, including both primary and secondary entrapment protection devices. *Make sure that the gate works freely before installing the operator.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION OPERATORS MUST BE PROPERLY GROUNDED! Power switch and electrical connection box. OFF X X OFF For power wires enclosure use UL listed conduits. Connect black wire to 115 volts AC = Hot. For power, a minimum of a 20-Amp dedicated circuit breaker is needed. Connect white wire to AC = Neutral. Connect ground wire to operator metal frame. Use a proper ground rod for a ground reference. Use the shortest and thickest wire possible for ground.

MULTIPLE SAFETY DEVICES CONNECTIONS Multiple SAFETY devices installed together must be connected “in series”. Locate the normally closed (N.C.) dry contact from each accessory relay. Also, before installing the accessory devices, remove the black wire jumper from the SAFETY terminal position on the terminal strip of the control board.

PRE-WIRED LOOP INSTALLATION ON SL-150 Model SL-150 provides two pre-wired loop harnesses one for SAFETY LOOP and one for EXIT LOOP. Loop detectors must be 120 VAC. To install loop detectors make sure power is off in main power source then simply plug detector in designated harness socket and wire the ground loop to the grey and brown wires located inside the electrical box behind operator gearbox. There is one pair labeled EXIT for EXIT LOOP and one pair labeled SAFETY for SAFETY LOOP.
EMERGENCY RELEASE For SL-150 Procedures to release gate: 1. Turn power OFF. 2. Push pedal down & move pedal slightly to the left to hold pedal down in position. 3. Push gate open.

MASTER/SLAVE CONNECTION Before connecting master/slave gate operators together, test and adjust the limit switches and the ERDs for each operator as “stand alone” machines. All accessories must be installed on the master board, no exception. See page 49 for dip switch settings. Use a two wire shielded cable and run it through a UL listed conduit for master/slave connection. Follow the wiring diagram as shown below. Master Board Slave Board +.....................Positive to Positive...................+ -.
MAGNETIC/SOLENOID LOCK CONNECTIONS Magnetic lock installation requires a step down transformer with appropriate voltage for the specific lock accessory. AC-N and LOCK from terminal strip supply 110 volts to power the transformer and control the locks’. Connect low voltage wires from transformer directly to the lock as shown below. Only two wires needed for the installation. No relay wires required.
RADIO RECEIVER CONNECTIONS 3 wire receiver mounts on receiver strip outside control box as shown below. 4 wire receiver :connect the two grey wires to 1 & 2 terminals on receiver strip outside control box.

TIMER ADJUSTMENT TIMER ON: Timer to close, can be set from 1 to 60 seconds. TIMER OFF: Gate operation is push button to open, push button to close. TO OVERRIDE THE TIMER: Turn the RADIO switch to the “ON” position. This will allow the radio receiver to close the gate before the timer. TIMER adjustment 0 60 Sec Sec 0 60 Sec Sec Turn potentiometer counter clockwise for more time. Turn potentiometer clockwise for less time. Timer Pot 60 Sec. 1 Sec.
DIP SWITCH FUNCTIONS OFF 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 TIMER TIMER switch “ON” activates the TIMER. See page 47 for details. RADIO RADIO switch “ON” allows the radio receiver to override the timer. See page 47 for details. OSC OSC switch “ON” allows the radio receiver to stop and reverse the gate in any direction. During a cycle the first signal stops gate, a second signal reverses gate.
ALL-O-MATIC’S good service and high quality by years of, proven reliability place the ALLO-MATIC slide gate operators ahead of the competition. The SL-150 is our highest duty rated operator and the most powerful continuous duty operator available in the market today. The SL-150 has a foot pedal release in the event of a power failure. The SL-100 is our most popular gate operator. It is continuos duty for commercial and residential use. In the event of power failure, the gate can be pushed open.
