COMPACT INSTALLATION (FOR SW-300/SW-350) The gate must be 12’0” long or less to use this installation. The measurements in the installation drawing below will only work if the distance between the gate in the open position and the obstruction (ie: wall, bush, etc) is between 20” and 34”. If you have more than 34”, please refer to the standard installation.
SW-300/SW-350 DC TORQUE LIMITER AND ARM ADJUSTMENTS The torque limiter on the operator is shipped loose (not adjusted). Use a 20” pipe wrench to adjust the large Ÿ torque limiter nut on the operator, as shown in the images below. Tighten the torque limiter nut until the arm does not slip while the operator is running.
SW-325 DC TORQUE LIMITER AND ARM ADJUSTMENTS The torque limiter on the operator is shipped loose (not adjusted). Use a 20” pipe wrench to adjust the large Ÿ torque limiter nut on the operator, as shown in the images below. Tighten the torque limiter nut until the arm does not slip while the operator is running.
ENTRAPMENT PROTECTION INSTALLATION A minimum of (2) monitored entrapment protection devices are REQUIRED for each entrapment zone. Ÿ An entrapment zone is a location or point of contact where a person can become entrapped between a moving Ÿ gate and a rigid object. The operator is equipped with an inherent entrapment protection system (ERD).
LOOP LAYOUT Below is a typical loop layout. When connecting to an All-O-Matic circuit board, use the following: — Safety Loop - Normally Closed (N.C) Contacts — Exit Loop - Normally Open (N.O.) Contacts — Wires MUST be twisted from the exit point of the loop saw cut to the gate operator.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION OPERATORS MUST BE PROPERLY GROUNDED! All gate operators MUST be properly grounded. This minimizes or prevents damage due to electrical charge, Ÿ such as a near lightening strike or an electrical static discharge. Use a single wire for the ground. DO NOT splice two wires for the ground. If the wire breaks or is cut, replace it Ÿ...
GATE TRAVEL ADJUSTMENT After locating the limit switches and identifying which one is open and close, follow the steps below to adjust the gate travel: 1. Turn the power OFF on the gate operator. 2. Use an allen wrench to loosen up the limit cams. Turn the limit cams in the desired direction. 3.
GATE OPENING DIRECTION SETTING Use OPEN L/R” dipswitch (#8) to change the opening direction of the operator. Ÿ The direction of gate opening is determined from behind the gate operator. Ÿ LEDs will show opening and closing direction when the gate is moving. Ÿ...
PROGRAMMABLE RELAY AND LEAF DELAY RELAY SETTINGS DELAY SETTINGS Board model ALL-BLDC includes a programmable relay The ALL-BLDC board includes a delay option for open or (N.O.) with four different configurations. close cycles. This delay option is most commonly used See table below for switch settings.
ELECTRONIC REVERSING DEVICE ELECTRONIC REVERSING DEVICE (ERD) ADJUSTMENT (ERD) ADJUSTMENT All BLDC boards are equipped with an Electronic Reversing Device (ERD), which will cause the gate to reverse direction when it comes in contact with an obstruction. The amount of force required to reverse the gate’s direction depends on the ERD sensitivity setting. The ERDs must be adjusted for the operator to provide regular, reliable &...

DIP SWITCH FUNCTIONS TIMER TIMER TIMER switch “ON” activates the automatic close RADIO timer. RADIO FAIL SC/SF RADIO switch “ON” allows the radio receiver to override the automatic close timer. 1-PASS SLAVE AUTO OPEN OSC switch “ON” allows the radio receiver to stop and reverse the gate in any direction.
ON when the MON_CLOSE input is activated (open what inputs are active. circuit to common) or when a device is not installed. When calling ALL-O-MATIC for technical support TIMER please have the name of the lights that are ON in the Blinks when the timer is counting down to close control board.
ACCESSORY CONNECTIONS The circuit board has 12/24VDC terminals that provide up to 750mAmps on 24VDC and 500mAmps on 12VDC to power accessories such as loop detectors, keypads, etc. If the total current draw of your accessories exceeds the rated current for any of the 12/24VDC terminals, a separate power supply (transformer) is required. When installing a safety loop detector or pedestrian switch (STOP_CMD), make sure to remove the black jumper between the COMMON and SAFETY terminal for the safety detector and/or black jumper between STOP_CMD and COMMON for pedestrian switch.
MONITORED ENTRAPMENT PROTECTION DEVICE CONNECTION There are 2 types of sensors that can be connected to the gate operator for UL 325 monitored entrapment Ÿ compliance: non-contact sensors (photo eye) and contact sensors (edge sensors). Monitored entrapment protection devices use 4 wires to connect to the board. From the device, connect the Ÿ...

MASTER/SLAVE CONNECTION BEFORE CONNECTING MASTER/SLAVE COMMUNICATION WIRES, TAKE THE FOLLOWING STEPS: 1: Test and adjust the limit switches and ERDs for each operator as stand alone machines 2: Once the machines have been adjusted, turn slave dip switch “ON” on the slave board. Press the RESET button on the slave board or reset the power.
MAGNETIC/SOLENOID LOCK CONNECTION Magnetic lock installation requires a step down transformer with the appropriate voltage for the specific lock accessory. Most operators include a 120VAC outlet for the step down transformer. Connections: Plug the lock device transformer to the 120VAC outlet plug. For Magnetic Lock: Wire nut one wire from transformer directly to one wire of the magnetic lock.
RADIO RECEIVER CONNECTION There are two types of receivers: 3-wire and 4-wire: 3 wire receivers can mount on the radio receiver terminal strip located outside of the control box. For 4 wire receivers, connect the 2 gray wires to terminals 1 and 2 on the receiver terminal strip located outside of the control box.
SW-300/SW-350 DC EMERGENCY RELEASE Procedures to manually open the SW-300 DC: 1. Remove the bolt or pad lock from the arm lever and open the lever fully. 2. Opening the arm lever will allow you to manually open and close the gate. REMOVE BOLT OR PAD LOCK MASTER...
SW-325 DC EMERGENCY RELEASE To release the gate for manual operation, follow these steps: 1. Remove the bolt or pad lock from the quick release. 2. Slide the quick release assembly out from the crank arm. 3. Bend the arm slightly to start the opening of the gate. Grab and pull the gate to the open position. To put the operator back into normal operation, align the primary arm with the crank arm and slide the quick release assembly back into the crank arm.
When using a 24VDC panel (up to 40 Watts), connect the panel straight into the LINE IN input. For a solar installation, upgrade the batteries according to usage. For information on solar applications (solar panel sizes, battery size, etc.), please call ALL-O-Matic. CONNECT 12V PANEL INTO SOLAR INPUT ON CIRCUIT BOARD.
See wiring below. For information on solar applications (solar panel sizes, battery size, etc.), please call All-O-Matic. IMPORTANT: When more than two solar panels are needed, special wiring precautions must be taken to prevent damage to batteries and/or charge controller regulator.
