ADJUSTMENT
Obstruction Test
The operator is equipped with an inherent (built in to the operator) obstruction sensing device. If the gate encounters an obstruction during motion, the
operator will reverse direction of the gate and then stop. The following procedure will test ONLY the inherent (built in to the operator) obstruction sensing
device:
1. Open and close the gate with the TEST BUTTONS, ensuring that the gate is stopping at the proper open and close limit positions.
2. Place an object between the open gate and a rigid structure. Make sure that any external entrapment protection devices will NOT be activated by the
object.
3. Run the gate in the close direction. The gate should stop and reverse upon contact with the object. If the gate does not reverse off the object, reduce the
force setting by turning the force control slightly counter-clockwise. The gate should have enough force to reach both the open and close limits, but
MUST reverse after contact with an object.
4. Repeat the test for the open direction.
Test the operator after any adjustments are made.

CONTROL BOARD OVERVIEW
Learn Button
The LEARN button is used for programming (refer to Programming).
Diagnostic Display
The diagnostic display will show the operator type, firmware version, and codes. The operator type will display as “SL” followed
by a “30” which indicates the operator type as SL3000UL. The firmware version will show after the operator type, example “1.2”.
For more information about the codes refer to the Troubleshooting section.
Handing Buttons
The handing buttons are used to determine which direction the gate will open and they are also used to set the
limits (refer to the Adjustment section).
OPEN RIGHT: If the operator is installed on the right side of the drive when looking out of the property, a swing
gate will swing to the right (turn counter clockwise) when opening and a slide gate will slide to the right when
opening.
OPEN LEFT If the operator is mounted on the left side of the drive when looking out of the property, a swing gate
will swing to the left (turn clockwise) when opening and a slide gate will slide to the left when opening.
NOTE: For gates installed on the outside of the property, the setting will be opposite. Determine the direction by looking towards the property from the
outside.
Bipart Delay
Used in dual gate applications where a maglock, solenoid lock, or decorative overlay would require one gate to close before the
other. The BIPART DELAY is also used in applications where one gate travels a longer distance than the other.
ON/OFF: The operator with the BIPART DELAY dial ON will delay from the close limit when opening and be the first to close from
the open limit.
BOTH OFF: No affect.
BOTH ON: No affect.
Timer-to-Close (TTC)
The TTC is factory set to OFF (0). Rotate the TIMER-TO-CLOSE dial to the desired setting (0 to 180 seconds). Any radio command,
single button control, or CLOSE command on the control board prior to the TTC expiring will close the gate. The TTC is reset by
any signals from the open controls, loops, close edges, and close photoelectric sensors.
0 seconds (OFF): The gate will remain open until the operator receives another command from a control.
1-180 seconds (ON): The gate will automatically close after the specified time period.
