WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
IMPORTANT!
Instructions regarding
Robo Slide Installation.
A) Install the gate operator only when:
1) All openings of a horizontal slide gate are guarded or
screened from the bottom of the gate to a minimum of 4 feet
(1.2 m) above the ground to prevent a 2 1/4inch (57.15 mm)
diameter sphere from passing through the openings
anywhere in the gate, and in that portion of the adjacent
fence that the gate covers in the open position.
2) All exposed pinch points are eliminated or guarded, and
3) Guarding is supplied for exposed rollers.
B) The operator is intended for installation only on gates used for vehicles.
Pedestrians must be supplied with a separate access opening.
C) The gate must be installed in a location so that enough clearance is
supplied between the gate and adjacent structures when opening and
closing to reduce the risk of entrapment.
D) The gate must be properly installed and work freely in both directions
prior to the installation of the gate operator.
E) Controls must be far enough from the gate so that the user is
prevented from coming in contact with the gate while operating the
controls.

5
WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
F) For a gate operator utilizing a non-contact sensor such as a photo beam:
1) See instructions on the placement of non-contact sensor for
each type of application.
2) Care shall be exercised to reduce the risk of nuisance tripping,
such as when a vehicle trips the sensor while the gate is still
moving.
3) One or more non-contact sensors shall be located where the
risk of entrapment or obstruction exists, such as the perimeter
reachable by a moving gate or barrier.
G) For a gate operator utilizing a contact sensor such as an edge sensor:
1) One or more contact sensors shall be located at the leading
edge, trailing edge and postmounted both inside and outside
of a vehicular horizontal slide gate.
2) A hardwired contact sensor shall be located and its wiring arranged so
that the communication between the sensor and the gate operator is
not subjected to mechanical damage.
3) A wireless contact sensor such as the one that transmits radio
frequency (RF) signals to the gate operator for entrapment
protection functions shall be located where the transmission of
the signals are not obstructed or impeded by building structures,
natural landscaping or similar obstruction. A wireless contact sensor
shall function under the intended end-use conditions.

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING - To reduce the risk of Injury or Death:
1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
2. Never let children operate or play with gate controls. Keep the
remote control away from children.
3. Always keep people and objects away from the gate.
NO ONE SHOULD CROSS THE PATH OF THE MOVING GATE!
4. Test the gate operator monthly. The gate MUST reverse on
contact with a rigid object or stop when an object activates
the non-contact sensors. After adjusting the force or the limit of
travel, retest the gate operator, Failure to adjust and retest the gate
operator properly can increase the risk of injury or death.
5. KEEP GATES PROPERLY MAINTAINED. Read the manual. Have a
qualified service person make repairs to the gate or gate hardware.
6. The entrance is for vehicles only. Pedestrians must use separate
entrance.
7. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

IMPORTANT! Because the coasting distance may vary due to changes in temperature, Elite
does NOT recommend the installation of a stop or catch post in front of the gates path. To do
so will cause the gate to hit the post in certain instances.
Elite only recommends installation of catch rollers on the side of a catch post or wall with a
minimal distance of half an inch between the rollers and gate. Also when fully open the end of
the sliding gate must stop at least five inches from a wall.
For safety reasons, a physical stop MUST be installed on the gate prior to
installation of the gate operator. This will assure that the gate does not
exceed movement limits and derail while opening or closing fully.

An earth ground rod must be installed to protect this operator
Single Piece of
12 gauge wire
Proper grounding gives an electrical charge, such as from an electrical static discharge or a near
lightning strike, a path from which to dissipate its energy safely into the earth.
Without this path, the intense energy generated by lightning could be directed towards the Elite gate
operator. Although nothing can absorb the tremendous power of a direct lightning strike, proper
grounding can protect the gate operator in most cases.
Elite Access Systems is not responsible for improper installation or failure to
comply with all necessary local building codes.
8 ft
The earth ground rod must be located within 3 feet from the Elite gate operator. Use the proper type
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.
Before digging more than 18" deep, contact local underground utility locating companies.
Avoid damaging gas, power, or other underground utility lines.
STEP BY STEP INSTALLATION
STEP 5: Earth Ground Rod Installation
Within 3 ft

Use Elite's optional 18 VAC plug-in transformer (Elite Part # A POW-1). Hook up the
transformer to 115 VAC. Use two, low voltage, 14 gauge / 300watt direct burial, landscape
lighting cables. Hook these wires to the plug-in transformer and to the power input
connection on the surge suppressor. Polarity does not matter.

If you use Elite's optional solar panel (Elite Part # Solar 3). Connect the two wires from the
solar panel to the power input connection on the surge suppressor (Polarity does not
matter). Sunlight will energize the batteries through the solar panel. This solar panel will
charge up to 1000 Mamp/Hr in optimum conditions & 300 Mamp/Hr in light overcast
conditions. For further details about Elite's solar panel, consult the “Solar 3” Installation
sheet that is included with the solar panel.
Energizing this operator with solar power only needs the radio receiver to operate the gate.
The only recommended external devices other than radio receivers are dry-contact
command devices which do not consume any current like key switches. Using other
devices that consume high current such as telephone access, magnetic locks or loop
detectors will cause excess drainage of the battery and eventually completely drain the
battery .
Elite recommends using a larger battery
(12 VDC, 30 AHr) (Elite Part # A 12330)
in this operator when using the optional
solar panel.
Polarity Does
Not Matter
Do Not use solar panel and plug-in
transformer at the same time.

“OPTIONAL” FIRE RELEASE BOX
The chain is held in place by a spring loaded pin.
Pull firmly on the
“T” Handle to release
the chain.
The “Fire Release Box”, is designed for use on sliding gates. It consists of a plated box,
with doors on the front and back. The doors can be locked with your own padlock, or the
fire department's padlock. The fire box would be fixed to the gate pickets. It can be opened
from either side of the gate. A steel cable with a t-handle runs from the box to the release
mechanism at the rear end of the chain. We do not provide the 1/2" EMT to run the cable
through. The release mechanism, is placed where the chain bolt would normally be. when
you pull on the t-handle, you release the chain from the bolt. To reset, simply reinsert the
pin into the housing for normal operation. (Elite Part # A CP-17)
