Page 4: General Information
General Information continued... CIRCUIT BOARD: The SL920 uses the Full Systems Capability circuit board, a powerful control system. This circuit board operates on 12 ~ 18 Volts and can deliver power to the motor through high power switching. The limit switch input terminals require the use of normally open type limit switches. These switches are used to accurately stop the gate operator in the open and closed positions. -
Page 5: Operation
OPERATION The SL920 Full Systems Capability can operate in a AUTO CLOSE TIMER (TIMER ON) or a PUSH-TO-OPEN/PUSH-TO-CLOSE (TIMER OFF) mode of operation. In the AUTO CLOSE TIMER mode of operation the operator is given a command to open the gate and hold it open until the input is released and until the auto close timer has elapsed at which point the operator will close the gate automatically. -

Page 8: Installation
Installation TEST OPERATOR Remove the gate operator from it's package and make sure that all parts are included. Refer to General Information and Parts Identification. If any parts appear to be missing, contact dealer. Temporarily plug the operator into 115 Volt outlet or extension cord. Before beginning installation, test the gate operator by running the operator back and fourth 2 or 3 times. - Page 9 GATE PREPERATION CEMENT PAD LOCATION OPTIONAL MOUNTING STAND Disconnect Power from the gate operator! The tail end of the gate should extend approximately 24" beyond the edge of the driveway. If this is not the case, an extension tail will need to be added to the gate.

Installation Continued... ATTACH CHAIN TO GATE Attach the gate bracket to the gate as shown using the round or square u-bolts for round or square gate frames respectively. Attach the chain to the gate brackets using the chain bolt and master link as shown. If necessary, the chain may be easily short- ened using a chain breaker. -
Page 12: Alternate Installation
Alternate Installations REAR MOUNT PLACEMENT CHAIN ARRANGEMENT The rear mount installation is an excellent way to conceal the chain or opera- tor. The operator is placed in the extreme rear of the gate as shown and the chain never goes across the driveway. The chain only goes from the gate operator to a post or wall beside the driveway. -
Page 13: Electrical
CONDUIT ROUTING STANDARD 115 VOLT HOOK-UP Make sure that power is OFF before making any electrical connections! Be sure that all wiring is employed as required by local codes. The operator is provided with two knockout holes on each side. Run 1/2" liquid tight flexible conduit through one of the four knockout holes and into the handy box where the receptacle is located. -
Page 14: Battery Backup
Electrical Continued... BATTERY BACK-UP BATTERY BACK-UP If the gate operator is already factory equipped with battery run, only the Right/Left Side switch and the Mode switch need to be set. The Right/Left switch simply needs to be set in the same position as the Right/Left switch on the main control board. - Page 15 OPEN INPUT: Any device that is used to open the gate from a closed position is an open input device. The device used must provide normally open contacts. These normally open contacts are connected to terminals 5 and 6. These open input terminals will cause the gate operator to open and/or close if the timer switch is in the OFF position.
- Page 16 Wiring Diagrams, Button Controls One button, two button and three button controls may be connected individually or together as shown below. Most button controls have a common "buss bar" which connects the common terminals of all buttons together so that only one common wire needs to be run back to the gate operator control board.

Page 17: Adjust Timer
ADJUST TIMER ADJUST SENSITIVITY NOTE: Counter-Clockwise makes gate push harder. Clockwise makes gate easier to stop. Fine Tuning The gate operator is designed to work differently while opening then while closing to optimize safety, so the direction of the operator will need to be set. Setting the operator direction is done by flipping the right/ left side switch located at the top of the circuit board. -
Page 18: Master Second
Master/Second Wiring SL920 MASTER/SECOND Connect 115 Volts AC to each SL920 gate operator. Connect the four Master/Second wires from the master circuit board to the Second circuit board as shown below. Any operator can be used as either a master or a Second. Accessories can be connected to the master or second operator. -

Page 21: Safety Edge
Safety Edge and Warning Placard Installation See reversing edge sensor instructions for the exact placement of the reversing edge contact sensors. One or more safety edge contact sensors shall be located at the leading edge, trailing edge, and post mounted both inside and outside of a vehicular horizontal slide gate. -
Page 22: Options
Options If it is desired that the driveway illuminate when the gate is activated, a light delay timer may be installed. The light delay timer will switch power on to the light for two minutes, then shut power back off. The timer relay is capable of switching up to 10 Amps which will handle most flood or spot lights available. - Page 23 Options For rear mount installation that are limited on space for the gate to slide back into, the space saver version is an excellent alternative. There may be a property wall, parking stall or other obstacle that reduces the amount of space available, making it difficult to mount the gate operator and still have room for the gate to slide.

Page 25: Maintenance And Safety
Maintenance and Safety The SL920 is designed to be MAINTENANCE FREE. However, for optimum performance and safety, the following maintenance procedures should be taken. Gate Sensitivity Adjustments The most important thing to maintain on any gate is the safety equipment. As the gate becomes older the amount of force necessary to move the gate will vary. -
Page 26: Troubleshooting
EXPLANATION OF VISUAL FEEDBACK LEDs The SL920 Full Systems Capability circuit board has been equipped with Visual Feedback LEDs to simplify installation and troubleshooting. These are small lights which are located directly beside the input terminals. These LEDs give visual information to the installer or service technician indicating what commands are going into the circuit board from devices such as limit switches or from peripheral devices such as radio receivers or safety loops. -
