4. Mechanical Installation
The SL600AC will handle gate weighting up to 600kg and up to
8m/12m if the proper installation procedures have been followed.
The SL600AC gate operator operates by forcing a drive rack by a
drive gear. The entire configuration is shown in the diagram below.
The gate operator must be installed on the inside of the gate.

Gate preparation
Be sure the gate is properly installed and slides smoothly before
installing the SL600AC sliding gate operator. The gate must be plumb,
level, and move freely.
Conduit
In order to protect the cable, use PVC conduit for low voltage power
cable and control wires. Conduit must be preset into the concrete
when it is poured. Wires within the conduit shall be located or
protected so that no damage can result from contact with any rough
or sharp part.
Concrete pad
The base unit of the gate operator requires a concrete pad in order to
maintain proper stability. The concrete pad should be approximately
450mm x 300mm x 200mm deep in order to providing for adequate
weight and structure to insure proper stable installation.
Anchors (see Fig.2)
You can use anchor bolts, anchors, washers and nuts. These
anchors must be set into the concrete when it is poured or you can
use wedge anchors to fasten the operator.

After the concrete has hardened, mount the gate operator base to the
concrete pad. Verify that the base is properly leveled.
Using bolts and washers mount the gate operator to the base and
insert the cover. Check the operator and make sure it is lined up with
the gate.

Installation of Rack
zFix the three nuts (in the same package with rack) on the rack
element.
zLay the first piece of rack on the gear and weld the first nut on the
gate.
zMove the gate manually, checking if the rack is resting on the
gear, and weld the second and third nut.
zBring another rack element near to the previous one. Move the
gate manually and weld the three nuts as the first rack, thus
proceeding until the gate is fully covered.
zWhen the rack has been installed, to ensure it meshes correctly
with the gear.
zThe space between rack and gear is about 0.5mm.
Fig.4
5. Adjustment
Spring limit switch
zTo ensure safety, it is recommended to install limit switches at
both ends of the gate to prevent the gate from sliding out of the
rails. The rails must be installed horizontally.
zInstall the limit block as shown in Fig.5 and Fig.6. The spring limit
switch and blocks are used to control the position of the gate.
SL600AC SLIDING GATE OPERATOR

zRelease the gear with the key and push the sliding gate manually
to pre-determine the position, fix the block to the rack and lock
the gear by push up the release bar. Moving the gate electrically,
adjust the block to the proper position until the position of the
opening and closing meet the requirement.
Magnetic limit switch
zTo ensure safety, it is recommended to install limit switches at
both ends of the gate to prevent the gate from sliding out of the
rails. The rails must be installed horizontally.
zInstall the limit block as shown in Fig.5 and Fig.6. The magnetic
of limit switch and blocks are used to control the position of the
gate.
zRelease the gear with the key and push the sliding gate manually
to pre-determine the position, fix the block to the rack and lock
the gear by push up the release bar. Moving the gate electrically,
adjust the block to the proper position until the position of the
opening and closing meet the requirement.

release bar about 90 degree to open or close gate manually, use the
release key as follow:
zFit the supplied key in the lock.
zTurn the key and pull down the release bar about 90°to release
the gear. (Note: Do not exceed 90°, be careful not to use too
much force, otherwise the release bar will be damaged.)
zOpen and close the gate manually.
Note: If the gate bumps the mounting post and cannot be electric
opened, move the gate a few inches by hand, thus you can release
the gate with the key, open and close the gate manually.

7. Tuning and operation
a. Adjust the Adjustable resistance (see Fig.8)
VR1: For motor working total time adjustment.
Clockwise rotation to increase, counter-clockwise rotation to reduce.
The total time can be set to 10 seconds as minimum and 90 second
s as maximum.
VR2: For brake force adjustment in limit position.
Clockwise rotation to increase, counter-clockwise rotation to reduce.
Rotate to minimum to cancel brake function in place.
VR3: For slow stop width adjustment.
Clockwise rotation to increase, counter-clockwise rotation to reduce.
VR4: For motor output force adjustment to keep safe usage.
Clockwise rotation to increase, counter-clockwise rotation to reduce.
Warning:
Motor force can not be set too large, just drive the door is ok.
Remote control
zThe remote control works in a single channel mode. It has four
buttons. See Fig.12 Remote transmitter. The function of button
1, button 2、button3 are the same and button 4 is pedestrian
mode. With each press of the remote control button (1, 2 and 3)
which has been programmed, the gate will close, stop, open or
stop cycle.

Remote Pedestrian button: After you learn the transmitter, you
press the remote button 4 the door will open 1 meter when the
door is closed.
zYou can program/learn button 1, button 2, and button 3
individually. If you learn button1, the button 1 and button 4 are
enable, if you learn button 2 too, the button 2 and button 4 are
enable, the button 1 is disable.

zAdding extra remote controls (Learn):Remove the cover, press
and hold the learn button ‘S1’ (Fig.8) more than 2 seconds, then
the ‘LED of LEARN’ (Fig.8) will be on, then press the remote
control button which you want to use, the ‘LED’ will turn on about
2 seconds and then turn off again. The learning process is
finished.
Up to 25 remote controls may be used.
zErase remote controls: To erase all existing remote controls,
press and hold learn button ‘S1’, the LED of ‘LEARN’ will turns
on, release the button until the LED turns off. This indicates
that all the remote controls have been erased completely, if you
change another manufactory code transmitter must erase first.
zVerify open direction: If the gate does not move in the desired
direction, then you will need to reverse the motor operating
direction, open the black plastic cover, you can do this by
exchanging wires ‘MOT1’ and ‘MOT2’, ‘Open limit(13 of J5)’ and
‘Close limit(11 of J5)’.
