IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS WARNING TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS. DO NOT START INSTALLATION UNTIL YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTAND THESE DIRECTIONS. IF THERE IS SOMETHING YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND, PLEASE CALL US. NEVER let children operate or play with gate controls.

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 Locate the limit switches (limit switches will be in the limit box on SL-150 DC) and follow the steps below: Turn the power OFF on the operator. Push the limit lock plate down (on the SL-45 DC, SL-90 DC, and SL-100 DC) or outwards (on the SL-150 DC) Turn the limit nut in the desired direction.
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 Board model ALL-BLDC-REV-X6 includes a programmable relay (N.O.) with four different configurations. See table below for switch settings. Use the “Leaf Delay” potentiometer to adjust the delay time from 0 to 6 seconds. (1) 1 second pulse for every open start cycle - Typically used for a cycle counter (2) “ON”...
ELECTRONIC REVERSING DEVICE (ERD) ADJUSTMENT All DC boards are equipped with an Electronic Reversing Device (ERD), which will cause the gate to reverse direction when it comes into contact with an obstruction. The amount of force required to reverse the gate’s direction depends on the ERD sensitivity setting and motor rating.
TIMER ADJUSTMENT AND RADIO SETTING TIMER ON: Automatic timer to close can be set from 1 to 60 seconds TIMER OFF: Gate operation is “push button to open, push button to close” RADIO ON: To override the timer and allow the radio receiver to close the gate before the timer Turn potentiometer counter clockwise for more time Turn potentiometer clockwise for less time NOTE: The timer may not activate to close the gate if the potentiometer is turned all the way counter clockwise...
DIP SWITCH FUNCTIONS TIMER TIMER TIMER switch “ON” activates the automatic close RADIO timer. RADIO LOCK RADIO switch “ON” allows the radio receiver to override the automatic close timer. 1-PASS SLAVE OSC switch “ON” allows the radio receiver to stop BRAKE and reverse the gate in any direction.
LED DIAGNOSTICS MODE CLOSING Blinks slowly (about every 2 seconds) when an ON while the gate is in the close cycle. overload or over current occurs. Blinks rapidly (about every 1/2 second) when the gate is jammed or the OPENING motor sensors are not responding or are disconnected.
ACCESSORY CONNECTIONS The circuit board has a 24 VDC terminal that provides up to 500 mAmps to power accessories such as loop detectors, keypads, etc. If the total current draw of your accessories exceeds the 500 mAmps, a separate power supply (transformer) is required.
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...

LOOP RACK INSTALLATION The SL-90 DC, SL-100 DC and SL-150DC models come equipped with the pre-wired LPR-1 loop rack for Ÿ safety and exit plug in loop detectors, making installation quick and efficient. Hardwired loop detectors with harnesses can also be installed. The circuit board has 12 VDC and 24 VDC Ÿ...
THREE-BUTTON STATION CONNECTION A three button station and reset push button are integrated on the board to make limit and ERD adjustments Ÿ easier. An external three button station may also be installed. See diagram below for wiring instructions, Ÿ NOTE: PED-SW jumper must be removed if a three button station is installed.
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 A magnetic lock installation requires a step down transformer with appropriate voltage specific to the lock accessory and two wires. When using a magnetic lock, the LOCK dip switch (#4) must be turned ON. The “LOCK OUTPUT” LED will turn on to show the lock is magnetized.
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.
