ATTENTION To prevent electrical shock, disconnect from power source before installing or service
ATTENTION Electricity and power motors associated accessories could be fatal or at least cause seriously
injury. All main voltage wiring must be installed by a licensed electrician.
ATTENTION Additional safety device MUST be fitted such as Photo Electric Beam, Loop Detectors.
ATTENTION Before do the manual release, the mains power switch must be off even there is no power.
ATTENTION Before power on, the manual release MUST engaged
ATTENTION Gate opened stopper and closed gate stopper MUST be installed.

4. Control Board Input
OSC input
The OSC inputs terminal input can be from switch, push button or relay (from any other brand
standalone receiver) N/O. It became active when short to COM. This terminal can be set to OSC or
OPN function by jumper on board. If keep active, gate will stay open.
PEB input
If the P.E input activated while gate is closing, the gate will stop or reopen. If the gate in the opened
position and P.E beam activated, the gate will stay in opened.
CLS limit input
If gate is closing cycle, when CLS limit is active, gate will stop and controller will display closed. If
controller working encode model, this terminal no function
OPEN limit input
If gate is opening cycle, when OPN limit is active, gate will stop and controller will display opened.
If controller working encode model, this terminal no function
OSC button
The OSC button operate gate (Push Open, push again Stop, push again Close) and set auto close time.
Encoder inputs
Encoder is mounted on the motor shaft inside of motor. it is not serviceable by customer. There are two
four pings socket on control board, one for right hand gate and other one for left hand gate.
5. DIP SWICTH FUNCTION
DIP1 –SET/RUN ON=SET, OFF=RUN
DIP2 –ENCODER/LIMIT ON=ENCODER OFF=LIMIT
DIP3 –POWER SELECT ON= 80% OFF= 100%
DIP4 -- AUTO CLS ON=AUTO CLS OFF=NO AUTO CLS
6. Motor Set up
6.1 Encoder control --- DIP2=ON
Motor installation as other motor and do not mention here.
Default setting is gate closing to left. If gate close to right, you need swap two motor wires and move
the encoder plug to J1. Make sure gate has opened and closed stopper installed, then power up, push
OSC button or remote, after two completely operation cycle, controller will be automatically
programmed. Do not need do anything.
6.2 Limit control --- DIP2=OFF
Default setting is gate close to left. If gate close to right, you need swap two motor wires and swap
close and open limit switch input. Push OSC button or remote, after two completely operation cycle,
controller will be automatically programmed. Do not need do anything.
6.3 Timers setting
Auto close time set
Set DISP1 On, push and hold on OSC, the time you push and hold OSC button is the time of
gate auto close time. when reached the required time simply release OSC button. Set DIP1

OFF. The gate controller will back to working mode. Factory default auto close time is 30
seconds
To restore factory setting, turn power off and set DIP1 on, push and hold CLS button then power
on. While hold CLS button, set DIP1 off, release the CLS button. Now controller restored factory
setting from memory.
7. Chain dirve Systme Setup
This is the drawing for chain drive setup. Not need to mention the details and all those are quite simple
mechncial work.
8. Power Supply and drive type
This motor has three different power can be choose. 240V, Low voalteg and Solar.
If has 240V power near at the gate, then use 240V version SL500 eithe encoder or limit control.
If no 240V power at gate, but has 240V power in the gararge or house, then choose SL500LV low
volatge model. Run12V low volatge to the gate. Suggest use 2.5mm garden light cables either direclty
bury in the ground or in conduit.
If no 240V power at ht egate and nearby, then use solar. 20W or 40W 12V solar panel and 12V7Ah
battery is good enough for normal use. If gate is more feqencly used and the sun light is not very good,
then properly inceasing solar panel power and battery size.

9. Manual release
A: What to do during a power failure (battery run out) or faulty:
If got battery back, then take the red cap off or take whole cover off, using the 8mm Allen key, insert to
the release bolts holes or use hand, clockwise turn the bolts several turns, then can manually push gate
open.
Re-engage the motor, turn the manually release bolts several turns, manually move gate, gate will
engage.
Reset power (initialization), remove the 6 pins plug (AC power, battery and motor), wait about 20
seconds, then plug it back. Use remote or push button operate the gate, controller will automatic
reprogrammed.
