WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF :INJURY
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS. DO NOT START INSTALLATION UNTIL
YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTAND THESE DIRECTIONS. IF THERE IS SOMETHING YOU DO NOT
UNDERSTAND, PLEASE CALL US.
NEVER let children operate or play with gate controls.
Locate the control station and make sure it is (a) within sight of the gate and (b) at a minimum height of 5
feet so small children cannot reach it.
Install the enclosed entrapment warning signs next to the control station and in a prominent location.
For operators equipped with a manual release, instruct the end user on the correct operation of the manual
release. Use the manual release only when the gate is not moving. It is advised that the power be turned
off.
Always keep people and objects away from the gate. No one should cross the path of a moving gate.
The gate operator must be tested monthly. The gate must reverse on contact with a rigid object, or stop
when an object activates the non-contact sensor(s). Always re-test the operator after adjusting the limits
and/or force. Failure to adjust and re-test the gate operator properly may cause severe injury or death.
Keep gate(s) properly maintained. Have a qualified service technician make repairs to gate hardware and
make proper adjustments to gate operator.
This gate entrance/exit is for vehicles only. Pedestrians must use a separate entrance.
There is nothing on a gate operator that is easily repaired or adjusted without a great deal of experience.
Call a qualified gate service technician who knows your gate operator.

ENTRAPMENT PROTECTION INSTALLATION
ŸA minimum of (2) monitored entrapment protection devices are REQUIRED for each entrapment zone.
ŸAn entrapment zone is a location or point of contact where a person can become entrapped between a moving
gate and a rigid object.
ŸThe operator is equipped with an inherent entrapment protection system (ERD).
ŸThe gate operator requires an external monitored entrapment protection device (non-contact photoelectric
sensor or contact edge) for each entrapment zone prior to gate operation. The operator cycles power to the
external entrapment protection device and checks for device signals. If the operator does not receive the
correct feedback from the device, the gate will not operate.

— SAFETY LOOP - Normally Closed (N.C.) Contacts
— EXIT/OPEN CMD - Normally Open (N.O.) Contacts
(See page 22 for LPR-1 loop rack wiring)
— Loop wires MUST be twisted from the exit point of the loop saw cut to the gate operator.
—Twist loop wires 6 turns per foot, as shown below. Improper twisting of wires can cause loop issues.
— When using an inside and outside safety loop, loops must be WIRED IN SERIES.

ŸAll gate operators MUST be properly grounded. This minimizes or prevents damage due to electrical charge,
such as a near lightning strike or an electrical static discharge.
ŸUse a single wire for the ground. DO NOT splice two wires for the ground. If the wire breaks or is cut, replace it
with a single length wire. NEVER use two wires for the ground.
ŸCheck the local city code for proper earth ground rod type and grounding procedures.
ŸUse UL listed conduits for power wire enclosure.

The SL-150 AC gearbox is equipped with an internal clutch to protect the operator when gate is
reversed in mid-cycle.
The clutch comes from the factory set at 60 lbs. of torque. In some applications, where the gates are
heavier than normal, the clutch may require some adjustment to increase the amount of torque. It is
important to have the clutch tight enough to be able to move the gate without slipping. It is as important to
not over tighten the clutch, as it is a method of protecting the operator.
Follow these instructions to tighten the clutch when necessary:
ŸTo increase the torque, use a pipe wrench to turn the clutch nut clockwise.
ŸTurn the nut 1/2 a turn at a time until the operator is able to move the load of the gate without the
clutch slipping.
ŸOnce the operator is able to move the gate without the clutch slipping, turn the nut one full turn. This
will allow the operator to move the gate, but also slip when the gate is reversed mid cycle or in the
event the gate gets jammed.

TIMER
TIMER switch “ON” activates the automatic close
timer.
RADIO
RADIO switch “ON” allows the radio receiver to
override the automatic close timer.
OSC
OSC switch “ON” allows the radio receiver to stop
and reverse the gate in any direction. During a cycle,
the first signal stops the gate. A second signal
reverses the gate.
LOCK
LOCK switch “ON” is used when a mag lock is
installed. “OFF” is used when a solenoid lock is
installed or no lock is installed.
1-PASS
1-PASS switch “ON” allows the gate to open until
one vehicle goes over the safety loop. Once the
vehicle has cleared the loop, the gate will stop and
close. If a second vehicle goes over the loop while
the gate is closing, the gate will stop. The vehicle
must get off of the loop before the gate continues to
close, forcing the second vehicle to present valid
credentials. This is a true one pass, anti-tailgating
feature to be used with safety loops.
SLAVE
This feature is used in dual gate applications. The
SLAVE switch will be “ON” only on the slave
operator. All other dip switches will be “off”. SLAVE
switch will be “OFF” on the master operator. Set
desired dip switch settings on the master operator
only.
BRAKE
BRAKE switch “ON” assists in stopping the gate at
the moment of contact between the limit nut and
limit switch. This function should only be used on
uphill or downhill applications. A 20-amp fuse
should be used when this switch is on.
OPEN L/R
OPEN L/R switch “ON” is used for right hand
opening of the gate. The “OFF” position is used
for left hand opening of the gate.

All AC boards are equipped with an Electronic Reversing Device (ERD), which will cause the gate to reverse
direction when it comes into contact with an obstruction.
The amount of force required to reverse the gate’s direction depends on the ERD sensitivity setting and
motor rating. Make sure the ERD jumper is set to the correct pin setting (see chart below).
The ERDs must be adjusted for the operator to provide regular, reliable & safe operations. If the gate reverses
direction on its own without hitting an obstruction, the ERD is too sensitive. If the gate does not reverse when it hits
an obstruction, the ERD is not sensitive enough.
ERDs must be adjusted by a qualified technician.
The gate operator ERDs shall be tested and adjusted if necessary every six months.
