FOR ADDITIONAL SAFETY protection we strongly recommend the fitting of a Photo Electric
(PE ) Beam. In most countries, PE Beams are mandatory on all gates fitted with automatic
openers. For a small additional outlay, Automatic Technology recommends that Photo
Electric Beams be installed with the automatic opener ensuring additional safety and
peace of mind.
DO NOT operate the gate opener unless the gate is in full view and free from objects such as
cars and children/people. Make sure that the gate has finished moving before entering or
leaving the driveway.
DO NOT operate the gate opener when children/people are near the gate. Children
must be supervised near the gate at all times when the gate opener is in use. Serious
personal injury and/or property damage can result from failure to follow this warning.
DO NOT allow children to operate the sliding gate opener. Serious personal
injury and/or property damage can result from failure to follow this warning.
Make sure that the Safety Obstruction Force system is working correctly,
and is tested every month. Test as per the Installation Instructions Manual.
Adjust if necessary and recheck. Failure to follow this rule could result
in serious personal injury and/or property damage. This test must be
repeated at regular intervals and the necessary adjustments made as
required.
DO NOT disengage the sliding gate opener to manual operation
with children/people or any other objects including motor vehicles
within the gateway.
If using a key switch, keypad or any device that can operate
the sliding gate opener, make sure it is out of reach of
children and that the gateway is in full view at all times.
If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be
replaced by an Automatic Technology service agent
or suitably qualified person.
Make sure that remote transmitters are kept out
of reach of children.

Operation
To activate the gate simply press a button on the TrioCode® transmitter, keypad
or other optional control devices. During an open or close cycle, the gate can
be stopped by pressing the button whilst it is in motion. The next actuation will
move the gate in the opposite direction.
Operator Console
The NeoSlider™ features a LCD display operator console which simplifies
installation, adjustments and status indication. Features include editing transmitter
storage and names, setting parameters, selecting specialised operating modes
and performing system diagnostics.
TrioCode™ Code Hopping Technology
Every time a TrioCode™ transmitter is used, a new security code is randomly
generated from over 4.29 billion possibilities. This greatly enhances the security of the
system and makes “code grabbing” a thing of the past.
These transmitters also overcome interference issues by simultaneously sending a signal
over three different frequencies. Even if two of the three signals are jammed, the system will
still work.
Security Code Store
The NeoSlider™ Sliding Gate Opener uses revolutionary technology to securely store up to thirty (30)
transmitters in its memory with the ability to assign an 11 character name to each.
Installation
The display console on the NeoSlider™ “holds your hand” through the installation and setup process. Also,
during installation a handheld transmitter can be used to set gate travel limits, allowing the installer to closely
monitor the gate’s position and stop points instead of having to be within arms reach of the console.
Features
Thank you for purchasing the NES-24V1
NeoSlider™ from Automatic Technology. Designed
for residential sliding gates by our world renowned
team of engineers, this unit will give years of smart,
simple and secure operation. Listed below are
some of its many features.

Owner Installation Instructions NeoSlider™ - Sliding Gate Opener NES-24V1 7
ISS (Intelligent Safety System)
Should the gate hit an obstacle while it is performing a close cycle, or be restricted in some
manner, it will automatically reverse. The amount of force the gate should encounter before
reversing is automatically adjusted by the control system during the initialisation of
the automatic opener. The gate will also stop if restricted whilst opening. The Safety
Obstruction Force should be checked at least once a month. See installation manual
for instructions.
Status Indicator
The LCD console display screen indicates through text the status of the NeoSlider™.
When the MAIN SCREEN is displayed, the current position of the gate or the result
of the last movement can be viewed. The display also shows the countdown timer
for Auto-Close operations. Any active input will also be displayed along with the
state of various features such as periodic service, battery backup operation and
vacation mode.
Control of Lock and Lights
The incorporated controller has dedicated outputs for operating an electric lock
and warning or courtesy lights. The timing of these outputs can be adjusted to
suit your needs. In addition a button on a remote transmitter can be coded to
operate the light output.
Extensive Operating Modes Via Control Inputs And Remote Control
The integrated controller can be configured to operate in many different ways via
the seven (7) control and safety inputs which include P.E, OPEN, STOP, CLOSE, OSC,
SWIPE and PEDESTRIAN.
Operation is provided with each transmitter’s button being able to be configured to operate
one of OSC, PEDESTRIAN, SWIPE, CLOSE, OPEN, STOP, LIGHT or VACATION functions.
The functionality of the transmitter is further enhanced by four (4) Auto-Close modes, three (3) PE
Beam response modes and two (2) pedestrian response modes.
SmartSolar™ and Battery Backup Compatibility (optional)
The gate opener can be fitted with a SmartSolar™ or Battery Backup kit for operation in the event of a power
outage, or where mains power access is not available.

Drive Unit Installation
The Automatic Technology NeoSlider™ sliding gate
opener is designed to operate most residential sliding
gates. The gates must be in good working condition
and should operate freely by hand.
Initial Checking
Before commencing installation of the NeoSlider™,
check the following:
1. The gate moves freely and easily by hand for the full
opening and closing travel.
2. The mounting point must be solidy constructed,
e.g concrete, brick or steel, and must be capable of
withstanding the full force applied to the gate.
3. Select a suitable location for mounting the drive
unit. This position is usually established by fully
opening the gate and mounting the drive unit within
a suitable distance of the gate edge.
4. A weather-proof 240v 10 amp power outlet must
be located within one (1) metre of the NeoSlider™
mounting point.
5. If PE beams are to be installed, provision for
underground cabling should be made from one side
of the gateway to the other.

Drive Unit Installation
Mounting the Drive Unit
The NeoSlider™ mounting holes are slotted for fine adjustment of pinion gear and gate rack alignment. Follow
the procedure below to ensure final adjustments can be made later.
We recommend that four 8mm (5
/
16”) or 10mm (3
/
8”) loxins and bolts are used to secure the Drive Unit into
position. These loxins usually require a 16mm (5
/
8”) masonry drill bit (if drilling concrete).
1. Prior to mounting the NeoSlider™, determine the distance from the gate to the outer edge of the rack (i.e. the
rack width) and to the datum line (see Fig. 03 and Fig. 04). If using an Automatic Technology plastic rack, the
width is 40mm. If using a different brand of rack, please ensure it is Module 4 and then confirm the width, as this
will vary.
2. Mark a line parallel to the face of the gate for the mounting holes. The distance from the gate is determined
by the formula (38mm + Rack Width). Therefore, if using an Automatic Technology rack, the distance is
78mm. Otherwise, if using a non-Automatic Technology rack, add your rack width (and spacers if required) to
the 38mm (see Fig. 03).
3. Another 100mm back, mark another line parallel to that described in point 2 for fixing. (see Fig. 03).
4. Open the gate to the desired open position. Mark a line at a right angle to the gate 120-150mm from the
open edge of the gate for the mounting holes.
5. Then mark another line 268mm parallel to this line (see Fig. 03).
6. Place the Drive Unit in position where the lines intersect to check the mounting position. If satisfied with the
position, remove the Drive Unit.
7. Drill the four mounting holes where the lines intersect.
8. Hammer the loxins into position, place the NeoSlider™ and fix with the four bolts. Remember when
tightening the bolts to allow fine adjustement of the NeoSlider™ later on.

Mounting rack to gate
A strong base on the gate is required for mounting
the rack.
1. Manually open the gate and place a rack section to
mesh with the pinion gear on the Drive Unit. Mark
the top of the rack. Move the gate and mark the rack
for the entire length of the gate.
2. Position the top edge of the rack on this line and
mark the centres of the rack’s mounting slots. The
first section of rack should start 20mm from the edge
of the gate.
3. Drill and tap for 6mm (¼”) screws.
4. Once the first section of the rack is mounted, check
that it meshes with the NeoSlider™ pinion gear.
5. When joining subsequent sections of rack, check the
mesh by placing a spare section upside down (teeth
facing upwards) and putting it into mesh with the
racks being joined (Fig. 05).
6. Tighten the racks. This will ensure that the NeoSlider™
pinion can run along the racks without obstruction.
