Wiring Specifications Earth Ground Refer to the following steps for details on power and Install a ground rod and connect it to the operator’s control box accessory wiring for the operator. in every gate operator installation. A good earth ground is necessary to allow the controller’s built-in surge and lightning protection circuitry to work effectively.
Page 6: Safety Information
Safety Information Gate system designers, sellers, installers, technicians, and users should familiarize themselves with the proper layout designs required to ensure the safe operation of the gates and any accessories associated with them. Any gate system design must include safety devices of sufficient quantity and placement to protect the customer, the general public and technicians working on the system from potential harm.
Page 7: Access Conrol Devices
Access Control Devices The SL-1000 is compatible with any type of access control device which provides a dry contact relay for activation. SEPARATE PEDESTRIAN ACCESS GATE MUST BE PROVIDED. GATE MUST BE DESIGNED OR SCREENED SUCH THAT NO OPENING MORE THAN 2 1/4"...
Page 8: Limit Switch Profile
Mounting Operator The SL-1000 mounts directly to one of the gate support posts, if using a cantilever gate, or to an auxiliary mounting post, if no gate support post is available. 1. Decide on a location for the operator; front post, rear post, separate auxiliary post.
Page 9: 2-Remote Mounting
Option 2: Remote Mounting If mounting the SL-1000 control box remotely from the gate, run wires from the control box for the operator motor, limit switches, photo beams, loops and opening accessories. Power and low voltage wiring should always be installed in separate conduits.
Page 10: Manual Release
MANUAL RELEASE This gate operator is equipped with a manual release device which requires no tools. To open the gate manually: 1. Turn power switch inside control box OFF before proceeding! 2. To disengage operator and move gate manually, lift keylock cover on top cap, insert key and turn clockwise.
Page 11: Connecting The Operator
CONNECTING THE OPERATOR After the operator and control box are mounted, connect the operator wires to the APeX control panel. A flex conduit fitting is provided on the bottom for the operator and an additional fitting is included in the accessory bag included with each operator. Use standard non-metallic flex conduit (not provided) to go from the operator to the control box or to a junction box (not provided) which can be mounted on the support post below the operator.
Page 12: Field Wiring Description
FIELD WIRING LAYOUT THE FOLLOWING TERMINALS ARE LABELED FOR FIELD CONNECTION: BATTERY (WIRES): Connect to (2) 12v5ah batteries found in accessory box. Connect red to positive (+) side of one battery, black to negative (-) terminal on other battery, and connect jumper between remaining terminals on batteries to provide 24 vdc battery backup and motor power.

Page 19 Basic Controller Programming Programming Overview PROGRAM The Controller can be programmed with various options for the operator. INDICATOR The programming fields are defined as “functions” that have “options”. DOWN To make setup easier for the installer, the Controller’s programming is divided into two groups: basic and advanced.
Page 20 Basic Controller Programming (Cont.) Run Alarm and Pre-start Alarm FUNCTION OPTIONS RUN ALARM OFF The factory default is Run Alarm on and a 3-second Pre-start Alarm. The "RP" PRE-START ALARM OFF operator’s beeper will sound 3 seconds before the operator starts. The options are: RUN ALARM ON PRESS UP OR...
Page 21 Obstruction detection type – b1, b2 FUNCTION OPTIONS B1 is a non-contact sensor such as a photo eye. B2 is a contact sensor "OT" FOR NON-CONTACT SENSOR such as an edge. This setting affects behavior in the closed direction obstruction detection. If a B2 detector is used, the operator will only allow FOR CONTACT SENSOR an input 2 times to continue automatic closing until a closed limit switch is successfully made.
Page 22 Advanced Controller Programming Entering Advanced Programming Mode FUNCTION OPTIONS ADVANCED PROGRAMMING FUNCTIONS To access and program the Advanced Programming functions, for each "AD" WILL NOT BE DISPLAYED programming session, Advanced Programming must be enabled. ADVANCED PROGRAMMING OPTIONS After exiting programming, the Advanced Programming functions WILL BE DISPLAYED will be available on the programming display during the next programming session unless the operator has run 50 or more...
Page 23 Advanced Controller Programming (Cont.) Stagger Delay Time (Rarely used in slide gate installations) FUNCTION OPTIONS This function is used in dual gate installations only. The factory STAGGER TIMER DISABLED "ST" default sets the Stagger Time to 0 seconds (OFF). The Stagger Time sets the delay for the Stagger Mode.
Page 24 Advanced Controller Programming (Cont.) Shadow Loop Open Prevention FUNCTION OPTIONS STANDARD OPERATION If the shadow loop is triggered, it always prevents the gate from closing if "SP" SHADOW LOOP INHIBITS CLOSING ONLY the Auto Close Timer activates or a CLOSE command is given while the gate is at the full open position.
Page 25 Advanced Controller Programming (Cont.) Soft Start/Stop Duration FUNCTION OPTIONS This function causes the operator to start and stop the DC motor SOFT START DISABLED "SS" slowly reducing gate wear and tear (at the full open or closed positions only). The factory default sets the Soft Start/Stop Duration to SET SOFT START DURATION TIME 3 seconds.
Page 26 Advanced Controller Programming (Cont.) Mid-travel Stop Position FUNCTION OPTIONS MID-TRAVEL STOP DISABLED The Controller can be programmed so the gate will stop at a mid-travel "MT" (GATE RUNS FULL TRAVEL) point instead of fully opening. This can be useful in installations where a large gate, that takes a long time to open and close fully, only needs to SET LENGTH OF OPENING TIME FROM 1 TO 99 SECONDS...
Page 27 Advanced Controller Programming (Cont.) FUNCTION OPTIONS Radio Enable "RA" INTERNAL RADIO RECEIVER DISABLED The Controller contains a built-in MegaCode radio receiver to allow ® activation from up to 40 access control transmitters and two Model MGT (gate edge) transmitters. The factory default enables the internal radio INTERNAL RADIO RECEIVER ENABLED receiver.
