OPERATOR AND ARM DIMENSIONS Please refer to the chart and drawing below for operator and arm dimensions. A: The distance between the center of the gate bracket and the center of the hinge point. B: The distance between the gate hinge point and the edge of the operator concrete pad. C: The distance from the gate in the open position to the center of the operator shaft.
OPERATOR PLACEMENT AND ARM LAYOUT Step 1: With the gate in the desired closed position, mark the ground directly below the center of the gate bracket. Ÿ This will be point . With the gate in the desired open position, mark the ground directly below the center of the gate bracket. Ÿ...

COMPACT INSTALLATION 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.
TORQUE LIMITER AND ARM ADJUSTMENT 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 SW-350 operator, as shown in the image below. For the SW-300, equally tighten all (3) adjusting bolts on the torque limiter.
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 — Center/Phantom Loop - Normally Open (N.O.) Contacts — Exit Loop - Normally Open (N.O.) Contacts —...
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 lightning 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 Board model ALL-ACUL includes a programmable relay (N.O.) with four different configurations. See table below for switch settings. Use dipswitch #3 to determine the delay on the open or close and 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”...
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: If potentiometer is turned all the way counter clockwise, the timer is disabled and the gate WILL NOT...
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.
ELECTRONIC REVERSING DEVICE (ERD) ADJUSTMENT All AC 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.
ACCESSORY CONNECTIONS The circuit board’s 24 VDC terminal provides up to 700 mAmps to power accessories such as loop detectors, keypads, etc. If the total current draw of your accessories exceeds the 700 mAmps, a separate power supply (transformer) is required. When installing a safety loop detector or pedestrian switch or a stop switch, make sure to REMOVE the black jumper between the 24V-COM and SAFETY and/or STOP_CMD terminals.
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 RELAY 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.
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.
MAGNETIC/SOLONOID 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.
EMERGENCY RELEASE INSTRUCTIONS Procedures to manually open the SW-300 AC: 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...

TECHNICAL TIPS How to tell what mode your board is in. The firmware must match the entrapment protection device wiring or you will get a “MON-FAULT” on the circuit board. - The number of times the “MON-FAULT” light blinks when you press and release “RESET” on the circuit board: - 1 blink = Pre-UL (monitored entrapment device is NOT required) - 2 blinks = UL-2016 (1 monitored entrapment protection device for the close direction is required)
