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/OPEN CMD - Normally Open (N.O.) Contacts — (See page 27 for LPR-1 loop rack wiring) Wires MUST be twisted from the exit point of the loop saw cut to the loop detector.
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 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 toward the switch to DECREASE travel and away from the switch to INCREASE travel.
SL-150 DC CLUTCH ADJUSTMENT The SL-150 DC gearbox is equipped with an internal clutch to protect the operator when gate is reversed in mid-cycle. The clutch comes from the factory set at 60 lbs. of torque. In some applications, where the gates are heavier than normal, the clutch may require some adjustment to increase the amount of torque.
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...

This delay option is most commonly used See table below for switch settings.
ELECTRONIC REVERSING DEVICE (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 &...
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 FAIL SC/SF RADIO switch “ON” allows the radio receiver to 1-PASS override the automatic close timer. 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 CONNECTIONS 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” to the slave board. Press the RESET button on the slave board.
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. The SL-45DC does not include a 120VAC outlet. Connections: Plug the lock device transformer to the 120VAC outlet plug.
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 relay contact wires to terminals 1 (COMMON) and 2 (RELAY/RADIO) on the receiver terminal strip located outside of the control box (one wire on each terminal).
For a solar installation, upgrade the batteries according to usage. When the application requires more than 80 watts of solar power, an external charge controller regulator is necessary. See next page for external solar system. For information on solar applications (solar panel sizes, battery size, etc.), please call All-O-Matic. CONNECT 24V 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.

TECHNICAL TIPS Board says “opening/closing”, but the gate does not move. - Check the fuse on the circuit board. If the fuse is blown (the LED next to the fuse will be on), replace the fuse. If the gate goes back into operation, make sure that the gate is not binding or hitting either of the positive stops and/or catch.
