Installing a Dual Slide Gate Operator System

IMPORTANT: With a dual gate system certain control board settings and connections are required on the MASTER

unit only and some are required on both the MASTER and the SLAVE unit. The list below gives an overview.

MASTER

• Gate Sequencing (set on MASTER, left OFF on SLAVE)

• Alarms (wired to MASTER only)

• Entry Devices (all entry/exit devices, shadow loops, Fire Dept. and free exit devices are wired to the MASTER unit)

• Adjustable Auto Close (MASTER controls opening and closing for both gates)

• Locks (wired to and controlled by the MASTER unit)

BOTH (Master & Slave)

• Safety Edges (wired to the unit that controls the gate they are mounted to, but the MASTER unit controls obstructions)

• Adjustable Inertia and Adjustable Sensitivity (each unit controls its own gate)

A dual gate operator system requires a 5 wire connection between two single units.

NOTE: 22 AWG, type 8723, 2-pair shielded (with one ground) wire manufactured by Belden Inc. is the ONLY wire

compatible for use with the DUAL GATE INTERFACE terminal.

Adjust the MAST/SLV for each unit; select unit for “master” (MAST), and the other for “slave” (SLV). Adjust the

GATE R/L DIP switches for each unit; select one for gate R (gate opens to the right), and the other for gate L (gate

opens to the left). Connect the receiver for the MAST unit only.

Seq 1 Seq 2 Operation

set to: set to:

OFF ---- OFF ---- (FACTORY) No slave gate attached, Master will not wait for slave to complete.

ON ----- OFF ---- Both units operate together.

OFF ---- ON ----- Master unit Opens First, Slave unit closes First.

ON ----- ON ----- Master unit Opens and Closes First.

Setting Dual Gate Sequence

SL-5100 and SL-6100 operators come from the factory with the Sequence 1 and 2 DIP switches set to OFF, for single

gate operation. DIP Switches must be changes to accommodate dual gate operation. The chart below shows the

various combinations to suite your specific application.

IMPORTANT: The SEQUENCE DIP Switch Settings are set on the MASTER Operator

only -- the SEQUENCE DIP Switch Settings on the SLAVE Operator are set to OFF only.

Wiring the Dual Gate Syatem

NOTE: In a dual gate system the diagnostic LED lights on the MASTER unit are used to diagnose both units. (The

LED lights on the SLAVE are nonfunctional.)
