INSTALLATION

Wire Entrapment Protection Devices


There are three options for wiring the entrapment protection devices depending on the specific device and how the device will function. Refer to the specific
entrapment protection device manual for more information. These entrapment protection device inputs are for monitored devices, which include pulsed
photoelectric sensors, resistive edge sensors, and pulsed edge sensors. Only one monitored entrapment protection device may be wired to each input.
Additional entrapment protection devices may be wired to the expansion board.

Control Board
CLOSES EYES/INTERRUPT
(2 Terminals) The CLOSE EYES/INTERRUPT input is for photoelectric
sensor entrapment protection for the close direction. When an
obstruction is sensed during gate closing the gate will open to the full
open position and resets the Timer-to-Close. This input will be
disregarded during gate opening.
CLOSE EDGE
(2 Terminals) The CLOSE EDGE input is for edge sensor entrapment
protection for the close direction. When an obstruction is sensed during
gate closing the gate will reverse to the full open position, disengaging
the Timer-to-Close. This input will be disregarded during gate opening.
OPEN EYES/EDGE
(2 Terminals) The OPEN EYES/EDGE input is for photoelectric sensor or
edge sensor entrapment protection for the open direction. When an
obstruction is sensed during gate opening the gate will reverse for 4
seconds then stop. This input will be disregarded during gate closing.

Expansion Board

INSTALLATION

Step 5 Earth Ground Rod


Use the proper earth ground rod for your local area. The ground wire
must be a single, whole piece of wire. Never splice two wires for the
ground wire. If you should cut the ground wire too short, break it, or
destroy its integrity, replace it with a single wire length.
1. Install the earth ground rod within 3 feet (.9 m) of the operator.
2. Run wire from the earth ground rod to the operator.
NOTE: If the operator is not grounded properly the range of the remote
controls will be reduced and the operator will be more susceptible to
lightning and surge damage.

Step 6 Power Wiring

To reduce the risk of SEVERE INJURY or DEATH:


l ANY maintenance to the operator or in the area near the operator l ALL electrical connections MUST be made by a qualified individual.
MUST NOT be performed until disconnecting the electrical power (AC l DO NOT install ANY wiring or attempt to run the operator without
or solar and battery) and locking-out the power via the operator power consulting the wiring diagram.

national and local electrical codes. NOTE: The operator should be on a
separate fused line of adequate capacity.
For dual gate applications, power will have to be connected to each operator. Main power supply and control wiring MUST be run in separate
conduits. An optional Transformer Kit (Model 3PHCONV) can be used to change the input voltage (208/240/480/575 Vac) to an output voltage of 120
Vac (refer to Accessories).
NOTE: If using an external receiver use shielded wire for the connections and mount the receiver away from the operator to avoid interference from the
operator.

19
ADJUSTMENT

Readjust the Limits


To readjust the limits, follow the “Set the Limits” and “Set the Force and Run Distance” instructions above. It is important that the force and run distance
are set after every limit readjustment.

Fine Tune the Force


Once the initial limits have been set, the REVERSAL FORCE DIAL on the control board is
used for fine tuning the force where wind or environmental changes may affect the gate
travel. The REVERSAL FORCE DIAL is set to minimum at the factory.
Based on the length and weight of the gate it may be necessary to make additional force
adjustments. The force setting should be high enough that the gate will not reverse by itself
nor cause nuisance interruptions, but low enough to prevent serious injury to a person.
The force setting is the same for both the open and close gate directions.
Settings 1-3: Fixed force settings (the force will not adjust due to gate wear or temperature
changes)
Settings 4-10: Automatically increase the force due to gate wear or temperature changes
1. Open and close the gate with the TEST BUTTONS.
2. If the gate stops or reverses before reaching the fully open or closed position, increase
the force by turning the force control slightly clockwise.
3. Perform the “Obstruction Test” after every limit and force setting adjustment (see
below).

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.

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.

WIRE ACCESSORIES TO CONTROL BOARD

Photoelectric Sensors and Edge Sensors


The EYES/EDGE terminals are used for connecting entrapment protection devices. At least two external monitored entrapment protection devices are
required prior to gate movement; one in the open and one in the closed direction. Monitored entrapment protection devices should have been installed
with the operator at the time of installation. Only ONE monitored device may be connected to each input. A monitored device sends a pulsed signal to the
operator so the operator is aware of the device. If the operator does not receive the signal from the device indicating it is working properly, it will not run in
that direction.
TERMINALS FUNCTION WIRING EXAMPLE
CLOSE The CLOSE EYES/INTERRUPT input
EYES/INTERRUPT is for close direction photoelectric
sensors. When an obstruction is
sensed during gate closing the gate
will open to the full open position.
This input will be disregarded
during gate opening and resets the
Timer-to-Close.
CLOSE EDGE The CLOSE EDGE input is for the
close direction edge sensors. When
an obstruction is sensed during gate
closing the gate will reverse to the
full open position, disengaging the
Timer-to-Close. This input will be
disregarded during gate opening.
OPEN EYES/EDGE The OPEN EYES/EDGE input is for
open direction photoelectric sensors
or edge sensors. When an
obstruction is sensed during gate
opening the gate will reverse for 4
seconds then stop. This input will be
disregarded during gate closing.
