SAFETY SUMMARY It is important for everyone involved in the installation and operation of the LiftMaster models SL 1000, SW 2000, and BG 3000 Master/Slave systems to read the following warnings. WARNING! • A vehicle gate is a large, heavy object that is moved by an electric motor. A moving gate can cause serious injury or death! The safety and well-being of others depends on the installation of a safe system.
BASIC INSTALLATION HINTS AND RULES READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY BEFORE BEGINNING YOUR INSTALLATION UNDERSTAND THE SYSTEM AND INSTALLATION SITE THOROUGHLY. The B3 series are flexible and reliable gate operator systems, but the quality of service depends directly on the quality of installation.
PART 1 MASTER/SLAVE OPERATION A. WHAT IS MASTER/SLAVE OPERATION? The easy way to understand master/slave operation is by the computer terms “smart” and “dumb”. • “Smart” machines are controlled by a computer or dedicated microprocessor, such as microwave ovens and new-style washing machines. •...
C. MASTER/SLAVE INSTALLATION DETAILS BI-PARTING GATE DETAILS The simple Bi-Parting Gate is typically used in low traffic residential sites due to its ease of use. The Bi- Parting configuration can consist of any combination of models SL 1000-B3 (slide gate), SW 2000-B3 (swing gate), and BG 3000-B3 (barrier gate).
2. BI-PARTING LATCH GATE DETAILS The Bi-Parting Latch Gate is typically used in low traffic residential sites due to ease of use and added security of magnetic locking. The Bi-Parting Latch configuration can consist of any combination of models SL 1000-B3 (slide gate), SW 2000-B3 (swing gate), and BG 3000-B3 (barrier gate). ADDITIONAL INPUTS: Radio...
3. TRAP GATE DETAILS The Trap gate is typically used in secured sites for screening incoming and/or outgoing traffic. In the Trap configuration, only one gate opens at a time, “trapping” the vehicle between gates. Due to ease of use, Slide Gates are the most popular for the Trap configuration. The Trap configuration can consist of any LiftMaster model for the Master, and a model SL 1000-B3 (slide gate), or BG 3000-B3 (barrier gate) for the Slave.

There are 2 different ways to close the gate (entering or exiting): Reclose Timer: When the Reclose Timer expires, gate closes automatically (Master or Slave). Interrupt Loop: clearing the Inside Interrupt Loops cause the gates to close (Master or Slave). NOTE: To ensure gate closure, set Reclose Timer = ON in both Master and Slave units.
4. TANDEM GATE DETAILS The Tandem gate is typically used in high traffic situations where some control of incoming and/or outgoing traffic is required. The outside gate (slave) is usually a less expensive fast moving barrier gate (or light slide gate) which protects the more expensive and less mobile Slide or Swing inside gate (master).

HOW IT WORKS: • When a vehicle is entering or exiting, the inside Master gate opens first. When the Master is completely open, the outside Slave gate opens, allowing the vehicle to enter or exit. • The Master unit Reclose Timer (if enabled) does not start counting down until the Slave gate is fully closed.
PART 2 MASTER/SLAVE LAYOUTS AND WIRING A. PHOTO-SENSOR INSTALLATION FOR BIPARTING GATE CONFIGURATION BIPARTING SLIDE GATES Figure 6. Biparting Slide Gate Photo-Sensor Layout. WARNING Buy only UL-approved photo-sensors made for use with vehicular gate operators or system. Otherwise, safe gate operation may be compromised. IMPORTANT NOTE: The installation shown in Figure 6 above is a suggested layout using emitters and receivers.
BIPARTING SWING GATES Figure 7. Biparting Swing Gates Photo-Sensor Layout. WARNING Buy only UL-approved photo-sensors made for use with vehicular gate operators or system. Otherwise, safe gate operation may be compromised. IMPORTANT NOTE: The installation shown in Figure 7 above is a suggested layout using emitters and receivers.
BIPARTING BARRIER GATES Figure 8. Biparting Barrier Gates Photo-Sensor Layout. WARNING Buy only UL-approved photo-sensors made for use with vehicular gate operators or system. Otherwise, safe gate operation may be compromised. IMPORTANT NOTE: The installation shown in Figure 8 above is a suggested layout using emitters and receivers.

NOTES Disconnecting the STOP terminal from the COMMON terminal stops the gate and prevents all commands from having any effect. Manual Open does not activate the Reclose Timer. If gate(s) are used for bi-directional traffic, the Exit Loop should be a directional loop detector. Inside and Outside Interrupt Loops: ♦...
D. MASTER/SLAVE INTERCONNECTION • A conduit between the Master and Slave units should be provided for the Master/Slave interconnection cable. • Two shielded twisted pair wire 16 AWG to 24 AWG will be connected between the two units at TB1 on the controller Board NOTES: 1.

H. TROUBLESHOOTING Units work as stand-alone: Miswired or disonnected Master/Slave interconnect cable. Improper Master/Slave switch S1 setting. Bad Control board. Units are not synchronized: Improper Operator Pair setting. See programming step 02, Operator Type. One gate braking to stop causes a fault in the other (moving) gate: Both units are wired to the same circuit breaker.
