DO NOT use if any component is missing, loose, worn, or damaged. Tighten, repair, or replace problematic parts before further use. Only replace components with identical parts and always fully replace damaged electrical cords. Specifications Model SL600ACL Input Power 110–120 V~ 60Hz Rated Power 0.37 hp...
Installation Initial Testing and Setup 1. When you first receive your motor (A), use one of the manual release keys (B) to open the motor’s release bar 90°. This releases the main gear’s normal locking mechanism for manual testing. Confirm that the gears rotate freely and smoothly by hand. Close the release bar and lock the gear back into its normal configuration. 2. Plug the motor into any stable, compatible, and well-grounded power source. Use one of the provided remote controls (C) to confirm its operation. The top button on both remotes should already come paired to your motor’s circuit board.

Press the button again to stop the gears. Press the button a third time to start the motor again in reverse. This should cause the main gear to begin turning clockwise, which closes gates from the right. Press the button a fourth time to stop it again. 3.

For full UL 325 compliance, place one or more warning signs so that they are clearly visible to anyone near the gate on either side. Such signs should warn of the possibility of serious injury or death from the moving gate, warn against allowing children nearby, and guide pedestrians to keep clear and use a separate entrance.

Base Installation Your motor MUST be firmly secured for safe use. Do not attempt to use it loose or only secured to thin pavement. Use the horizontal mounting plate (I) to brace the two vertical mounting plates (J) as shown. Use the M6×20 bolts (N), spring (U) and flat washers (S), and nuts (Q) to connect the plates so that both vertical plates face inwards on top and the large holes for the...
Motor Installation M8 Nut 1. Remove the plastic casing from the motor (A). M8 Spring Washer 2. Connect the motor to the base using the M8 bolts (P) M8 Flat Washer with their spring (V) and flat washers (T) and nuts (R). M8×40 Bolt Adjust the placement of the bolts in their slots to match the expected path of the chain as shown.
Replace the sensors’ covers and mount them near your gate at the positions prepared for them. If possible, cover or otherwise protect them from direct sunlight. 6. Arrange the wiring for your motor as needed, being sure it will be protected from the moving gate.

3. Fasten one of the chains (E) to the tie rod of the bracket farther from the motor by opening, positioning, and resealing its final chain link. Tie Rod If necessary, repeat the process to connect the two chains to one another or even to add additional lengths Chain Link of chain.

Magnetic Limit Switch Installation Using this gate opener without its magnets in the correct position risks damage to the motor and to the gate, including possible derailment. 1. Place the motor in manual mode. Move the gate to the position you want it to go to when fully open. 2.
NEVER adjust any wiring or board setting while the gate is connected to power unless specifically directed otherwise. Disconnect the circuit from power, make your adjustment, and then restore power to test the effect. Reversing Direction The default placement for this system is on the right side DIP2 Effect of sliding gates when looking out from the property. This Right Side Operation is controlled by the up position of DIP Switch 2.
Adjusting the Gate’s Sensitivity The leftmost adjustment knob VR1 controls obstruction sensitivity. The far left position is the most sensitive to any obstruction but may cause overreaction, e.g., to strong winds or leaves along the gate’s track. Moderate settings are fine for most users, but careful trial and error can find the ideal settings for your situation. Adjusting the Gate’s Forcefulness Various settings control the forcefulness of the gate.
Initial Testing Power Remote Pairing If the motor is located on the right side of your gate, confirm that DIP Switch 2 is toggled up. If the motor is located on the left side, make sure that DIP Switch 2 is toggled down. Clear any obstacles from the gate’s path and keep all bystanders away.
Troubleshooting Possible Problems Typical Solution(s) Verify that the power supply is functioning properly. The gate does not open or close normally and no indicator Check that the fuse is not blown. If necessary, replace it with lights activate on the circuit an identical 10A 250V fuse.
Maintenance • Always supervise children and pets near the gate, the motor, and their controls to prevent accidents. • Always fully disconnect your motor from its power supply before removing its cover or making any adjustments to its wiring. Use trained and licensed electricians for rewiring or electrical repair work.
