SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR OPEN ROLLER GATES 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.
WIRING WARNING G WARNING MENT N 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. • Disconnecting power at the fuse box BEFORE proceeding.
I N S TA L L AT I O N PAD MOUNTING Figure 1 RETRO-FIT INSTALLATION The operator is shipped from the factory with the lower mounting angles configured out (Figure 1). If you have pad constrictions, either angle can be unbolted and reversed to ‘angle in’. NOTE: If you are replacing an SL540/SL570 and wish to use the same pad mounting hardware, the gate side mounting angle must be installed angle in. Angle In NEW INSTALLATION Concrete Pad Preparation: 1. Lay out concrete pad. (Figure 2). 2.
POST MOUNTING RETRO-FIT INSTALLATION The operators come from the factory configured to mount to an inside the frame post mount dimension of 26" (outside to outside of posts). The frame comes slotted to accommodate posts 24-1/8" to 26", outside to outside (Figure 1). NOTE: If you are replacing a SL540/SL570, the frame will require adjustment to 24 1/8". Figure 1 NEW INSTALLATION 1. Locate and anchor two posts made of 3" (7.6 cm) outer diameter heavy walled pipe.
INSTALL GATE BRACKET & DRIVE CHAIN WARNING WARNING Figure 1 CAUTION 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. 3. Locate and engage the manual disconnect and lock it in place (refer to page 14). 4.
AVAILABLE CONDUIT ACCESS FOR THE ELECTRICAL BOX The accessory tray is equipped with several 1-1/2" pass though 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 NOTE: Before running power wiring refer to wiring specifications on page 8 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 (see page 12), 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.
UL325 ENTRAPMENT PROTECTION Force Control PRIMARY ENTRAPMENT PROTECTION ADJUSTMENTS 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.
UL325 ENTRAPMENT PROTECTION (CONTINUED) EDGE/PHOTO CLOSE EDGE/PHOTO OPEN This switch (S2-3) selects edge or photo sensor for the gate opening protection input. This switch (S2-4) selects edge or photo sensor for the gate closing protection input.
PROGRAM SETTINGS (DIP SWITCH S1) NOTE: For all S1, S2 and S4 switch settings to take effect, the Save Mode switch must be set to the off position. TIMER TO CLOSE ENABLE TIMER TO CLOSE This switch enables the auto close timer. The timer to close feature works in conjunction with the potentiometer located on the board.

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) Hard 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.
O P E R AT I O N A N D M A I N T E N A N C E ING WARNING IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS ON WARNING To reduce the risk of SEVERE INJURY or DEATH: SEMENT 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.
SOLENOID ACTUATED BRAKE WARNING The brake is adjusted at the factory and should not need additional adjustments for the the life of the friction pad. Replace friction pads when necessary. Refer to the illustration for identification of components for the solenoid type brake system. To reduce the risk of SEVERE INJURY or DEATH: • Disconnect power BEFORE performing ANY adjustments.
