Use and Appli ation
The model BLSL2250 is intended for Class I, II, III and IV usage on a vehi ular slide gate
appli ation.
a) Install the gate operator only when:
1) The operator is appropriate for the construction of the gate and the usage Class of the gate,
2) All openings of a horizontal slide gate are guarded or screened from the bottom of the gate to a minimum
of 4 feet (1.22 m) above the ground to prevent a 2-1/4 inch (57.2 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,
3) All exposed pinch points are eliminated or guarded, and
4) 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. The pedestrian access opening shall be designed to promote pedestrian usage.
Locate the gate such that persons will not come in contact with the vehicular gate during the entire path of
travel of the vehicular gate.
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. Swinging gates shall not open into
public access areas.
d) The gate must be properly installed and work freely in both directions prior to the installation of the gate opera-
tor. Do not over-tighten the operator clutch or pressure relief valve to compensate for a damaged gate.
e) For gate operators utilizing Type D protection:
1) The gate operator controls must be placed so that the user has full view of the gate area when the gate is
moving,
2 The placard equivalent to the following: “To reduce the risk of electric shock the operator power is to be
provided from a weatherproof outlet in the case of attachment plug connection or weatherproof junction
box in the case of permanent wiring according to the National Electrical Code, NFPA 70.” shall be placed
adjacent to the controls,
3) An automatic closing device (such as a timer, loop sensor, or similar device) shall not be employed, and
4) No other activation device shall be connected.

Important Safety Instru tions
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. Use the emergency release only when the gate is not moving.

• Check and adjust the gate operator for force, speed, and sensitivity.
• Make sure all power (AC/DC ) connections are corrosion free.
• Check all batteries for proper voltage of the intended use. A fully charged battery must be 26

minimal maintenance is recommended to ensure a smooth operation of this unit.
End users/home owners:
• Perform maintenance every six months, or when strenuous noise from wheels and/or guide rollers is
detected. Lubricate them with heavy-duty, high-performance lubricant and avoid spillage.
• DO NOT take the cover off the operator and/or the electrical control box to perform maintenance.
• Make sure there are no cars in the path of the gate while performing maintenance.
• Make sure the person performing maintenance is the only person in control of all control devices
in order to avoid possible involuntary activation of the gate operator.
• Keep spraying water hoses and sprinkler systems away from the gate, gate operator and the
electrical control box at all times. Keep that general area as clean as humanly possible.
• Test (use caution) all non-contact sensors, all vehicle detectors, keypad, telephone entry system or
other control devices applicable.

Mounting Instru tions
STEP 1
Ensure the gate and operator are LEVEL
and PARALLEL prior to anchoring the
chassis to the concrete pad.
Minimum distance between the operator
and gate is 3”.
STEP 2
Secure the operator to the concrete pad
using Red Head 1/2” x 3-1/2” Anchors.
Always follow the manufacturers instructions
for proper installation. Refer to pg. 10 for
hole center dimensions.
.
NOTE:
Pre-installation procedure;
Manually open and close the gate, ensuring there is sufficient space between
adjacent walls and gate.
While pushing the gate to the open and closed positions, confirm that the
wheels turn freely on the track and there are no obstacles.
Ensure that there is plenty of space for the guide rollers and that there are
no obstacles throughout the movement of the gate.

Installation: Indu tive Loops
WARNING – Consult the installation instructions from the loop detector manufacturer. The follow-
ing statements are provided as a guide but different requirements may be required by the vehicular
loop detector manufacturer.
Inductive Loops Installation:
Safety loops allows the gate to stay open when vehicles are obstructing the gate path.
If the gate is longer than the vehicles that pass through it a center loop is recommended and should
be installed. A center loop prevents the gate from closing when a vehicle is between the safety loops.
Safety loops are required when using a center loop. See Loop Wiring.

This stabilizes the loop during the pour and
separates it from the rebar.
Saw Cut Existing Surface
Cut “ deep into the existing surface, place a 45° cut
at the corners to prevent sharp edges from
damaging the loop wire. Notch out for the ”T”
connection where the lead wire connects to the
loop. Remove all debris from the finished cut with
compressed air. Place the loop into the saw cut.
Place backer material into the saw cut over the
loop wire and pack tightly. Place a high quality
sealer over the saw cut to seal the surface.
Resurface Asphalt
Saw cut the existing surface 3/4” deep and place a
45° cut at the corners to prevent sharp edges from
damaging the loop wire. Remove all debris from
the finished cut with compressed air. Place sand
over the loop wire to the surface and pack tightly.

cut the ground wire too short, break it, or destroy
its integrity, replace it with a single wire length.
Prevent unnecessary turns or loops in ground wires.
The gate operator and the battery charger require a
single phase AC line to operate.
1. Turn off the breaker for the circuit you are using.
2. Select the proper voltage on the power board.
3. Connect the incoming power wires to the proper
