Dear users,
Thank you for choosing this product. Please read this manual carefully before installation and use.
Please do not forget to include this manual if you send the product to a third party.
1. Safety Instruction
Please make sure that the power voltage being used matches with the supply voltage of gate opener
(AC110V or AC220V); kids are not allowed to touch the control devices or the remote-control unit.
The remote-control unit is single button mode or three button mode (please refer to the instructions
of the remote control in accordance with the actual gate opener type). The indicator light on the
remote-control unit will flicker when its button is pressed. Main engine and gate can be unlocked
with a disengagement wrench and the gate can be manually operated after disengagement.
Please make sure that nobody is around the main engine or gate when the switch is operated.

4.3 Installation procedures
4.3.1 Preparation work before installation
Please make sure that the sliding gate is correctly installed, the gate rail is horizontal, and the gate
can be manually moved smoothly before installing the gate opener.
Cable installation
In order to guarantee the normal operation of the gate opener and protect the cables from damages,
please bury the motor & power cable and controlling cable separately with two PVC tubes.
Concrete pedestal
Please precast a concrete pedestal with the size can be 400mm x 250mm, depth be 200mm in
advance, so as to firmly install SL600AC gate opener. Please make sure the distance
between the gate and gate opener is appropriate before casting the pedestal.

properly;
b) Please prepare the power line for connecting the mounting plate to the main engine (the number
of power supply cable cores should not be less than 3 PCS, the sectional area of cable core should
be over 1.5mm² and the length should be determined by users according to the situation on
installation spot.)
c) Please unlock the main engine before installation, the unlock method is: insert the key, open the
manual release bar till it rotates by 90° as shown in Figure 5. Then turn the output gear and the gear
can be rotated easily;
Turn on 90°
Figure 5
4.3.3 Gear rack installation
Fix the mounting screws to the rack.
Put the rack on the output gear, make the rack engage with the output gear then weld the
mounting screw to the gate (each screw with one solder joints firstly).
Manually move the gate (gate should be moved smoothly after motor unlocked) to check
whether there is a fit clearance between rack and output gear, as shown in Figure 7.
Weld all the mounting screws to the gate firmly.
Make sure that all racks on the same straight line.
Pull the gate after installed, make sure the entire trip is flexible without any stuck.

Warnings
·To ensure safety, install safety stop blocks on both ends of the rail to prevent the gate from running
out of the rail. Before installing the main engine, make sure that the safety stop blocks are in place
and whether it has the function of preventing the gate from running out of the rail or safety range.
·Please make sure that the main engine and its components have good mechanical properties, and
the gate can be operated flexibly when manually moved before installing the main engine.
·Please note that for this product, one control can only drive one main engine, otherwise, the control
system will be damaged.
·Earth leakage circuit breaker must be installed in where the gate movement can be seen, and the
minimum mounting height is 1.5m to avoid being touched by children.
·After installation, please check whether the mechanical property is good or not, whether gate
movement after manual unlocking is flexible or not, whether the installation for infrared sensor
(optional) is correct and effective.

corresponding terminal 11 and 13 on the control board.
5. Others
5.1 Maintenance
Check whether the gate operates normally every month.
For the sake of safety, each gate is suggested to be equipped with infrared protector, and regular
inspection is required.
Before installation and operation of the gate opener, please read all instructions carefully.
