BASIC INSTALLATION HINTS AND RULES

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION VERY CAREFULLY BEFORE BEGINNING YOUR

INSTALLATION

1. UNDERSTAND THE SYSTEM AND INSTALLATION SITE THOROUGHLY. The SL 1000 is a flexible and reliable gate operator system, but the quality of service depends directly on the quality of installation. Please read these instructions carefully and study the applicable diagrams before planning your installation. In particular, understand any site characteristics that may affect the system installation.

WARNING

2. INSTALL PERMANENT WIRING. U.L. specifications require the model SL 1000 system to be permanently wired. Refer to your local wiring code for specific information. WARNING: Damage caused by faulty wiring is not covered by warranty.

3. U.L. OBSTRUCTION-SENSING REQUIREMENTS. To maximize safety, U.L. 325 standards require primary obstruction sensing (gate sensitivity to impact) and secondary obstruction sensing (photo-sensors) be in operation at all times.

4. GROUND THE SYSTEM. The system contains parts which may be damaged by static discharge. A proper earth ground connected to the gate operator housing (at the lower left grounding screw shown in Figure 15) will significantly reduce the chances of damage or improper operation. The shielding in the cables specified for all remote sensors and controls should also be connected to earth ground at the controller end of the cable only.

To be effective, the ground connection must be made by running 12 awg copper wire to a good ground point (e.g., an electrical panel, a metallic cold water pipe that runs into the earth, or a grounding rod at least 10 feet in length that is driven into the earth) within 12 feet of the system. Even if you have a good earth ground, you should try to discharge any static before handling the boards. WARNING: Damage caused by static discharge or lightning is not covered by warranty.

5. PROVIDE POWER FROM A DEDICATED SOURCE. The outlet into which you connect the Gate Operator should be wired to its own circuit breaker. This will reduce the line noise introduced into system power and minimize the risk of having other equipment interrupt system operation. In a Master/Slave system, master and slave must each have separate circuits.

6. DO NOT OVERLOAD THE TERMINAL BLOCKS. The terminal blocks are removable and the pins are soldered into the boards. To connect your wires, remove the “head” from the correct terminals and open the screws. Insert the wire into the correct opening on the front and tighten the screw until the wire is held firmly. When you have made all connections for a given “head”, plug it back onto the inputs designated for that terminal block.

Stranded wire must be between 16 and 24 awg. Solid wire must be between 18 and 24 This is the total thickness measurement so, if you are putting two wires in, the combined thickness must fall within this range. NEVER try to insert more than two wire per terminal.

7. ENSURE GOOD CONNECTIONS. A light tug on the wire will tell you if the connection is secure. When reconnecting system components, make sure all pins are straight on chips, connectors, and terminal block heads.

8. READ MARKINGS CAREFULLY. The connection points are marked on the boards clearly. Before making any connection, be sure to read the marking and check it against the corresponding figure in these instructions so that you understand the connection you are making.

9. TRAIN YOUR CUSTOMERS THOROUGHLY. Although customer responsibility is limited to proper installation, the quality of service is determined by care of system programming. Ensure that the customer has a copy of this manual to guide them. It will save you and them lots of inconvenience and aggravation later.

B. PAD AND MOUNT

Figure 4. Pad and Track Ribbon

Figure 5. Bolt Down Pattern Figure 6. Conduit Entrance Areas

1. The concrete pad must be sufficient to support the gate operator and the forces created by the moving gate. LiftMaster recommends a pad 20” wide by 30“ long by 24” deep (Figure 4).

2. The operator must be level and parallel to the gate, so the pad should be level and about 4” above ground level to prevent water entrance.

3. Four anchor bolts are required to secure the gate operator to the pad. The mounting holes in the gate operator are 5/8” in diameter. ½” x 3½ ” Red Head bolts are recommended (Figure 5).

4. Be sure to provide access for wiring conduits (Figure 6).

5. Track installation should be on concrete, not asphalt, and should be at least 10” wide and 6” deep.

6. A 6” gate overlap at the open end of the gate when closed should be provided.

7. A 30” gate overlap at closed end of the gate when closed should be provided.

NOTE: Shading indicates acceptable areas for conduit stub access.

Rev J Doc 01-20098 Page 7 of 44

Page 8

C. POWER WIRING

1. Provide a separate conduit stub for the AC power.

2. Each gate operator requires a 115 VAC 20 AMP single phase circuit NOTE: Master and Slave units each require separate circuits to prevent false overcurrent faults (see X3 Series Master/Slave Systems).

3. Wiring must comply with the local Electrical Code for operating a 1/2 HP motor. 12 AWG for up to 300' and 10 AWG for up to 500' long wire runs is suggested.

4. Be sure to pull a ground wire in the conduit for the connection to the gate operator.

NOTE: Do not rely on metallic conduit for earth ground.

D. LOOP DETECTORS AND PHOTO-SENSORS

1. A shelf is provided (10" x 11" x 18" high) to support non-LiftMaster loop detector electronics. Power for the loop detector can come from the auxiliary 115 VAC plugs in the gate operator or from the 24 VAC provided by the gate operator control board. NOTE: The auxiliary plugs have power regardless of the unit power switch setting.

2. Conduit provisions should be made for the “loop” wire entrance to the loop detector.

3. Wiring should be 16-24 AWG stranded or 18-24 AWG solid.

NOTE: Optional LiftMaster-supplied loop detector add-on boards are available, both

pre-installed and for installation in the field. See Part 3, Gate Operator Options.

E. TELEPHONE CONNECTION

1. A conduit entrance into the gate operator should be provided for the telephone line.

2. A single twisted pair wire 18 AWG to 24 AWG, will be connected from the telephone

company termination block through the conduit to J9 on the control board. Polarity is not important.

NOTE: Do not run telephone and AC power wires in the same conduit.

F. OTHER CONNECTIONS

1. Provisions should be made for conduit entrance into the gate operator for external activation devices such as key switches, telephone entry systems, loops, etc.

2. Wire size requirement: 16-24 AWG stranded or 18-24 AWG solid wire should be used.

G. MASTER/SLAVE INTERCONNECTION (MASTER/SLAVE SYSTEM ONLY)

1. A conduit between the Master and Slave units should be provided for the Master/Slave interconnection cable.

2. 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. Do not run the Master/Slave cable and AC power wires in the same conduit.

2. Master/Slave interconnection cable should not exceed 3000' in length.

H. GROUNDING

The system contains parts which may be damaged by static discharge. A proper earth ground connected to the gate operator housing will significantly reduce the chances of damage or improper operation. The shielding in the cables specified for all remote sensors and controls should also be connected to earth ground at the controller end of the cable only.

To be effective, the ground connection must be made by running 12 AWG copper wire to a good ground point (e.g., an electrical panel, a metallic cold water pipe that runs into the earth, or a grounding rod at least 10' in length that is driven into the earth) within 12' of the system. Even if you have a good earth ground, you should try to discharge any static before handling the boards.

F. SETTING GATE OPEN DIRECTION SWITCHES S2 AND S3

Figure 12. Gate Direction and UPS Low Battery Switch Locations.

NOTE: The Gate motion (left to right) is determined by looking at the gate from the

gate operator side.

• Switch S2 sets gate opening direction (open to left or open to right). Sensed only on power up, it should be set when the power is off, or power should be cycled after setting the switch.

1. Set switch S2 to RIGHT for gate to open to right, or to LEFT for gate to open to left.

2. Set switch S3 to the direction you wish the gate to move (left or right) and remain when the LOW BATTERY input is activated by an Uninterruptable Power Supply (UPS).

G. POWER UP PROCEDURE

If gate is positioned at the ‘open’ limit, gate will automatically close if Relcose Timer is enabled and power is switched on. Position gate either at the closed limit or at no limit when preparing to switch power on. Always use extreme caution and follow all warnings in the Safety Summary.

1. Turn on circuit breaker that provides power to gate operator.

2. Turn on gate operator power switch and verify that the seven-segment LED display above the keypad sequentially spells out “HELLO”. The only LEDs that should remain on are MAGLOCK and CLOSE LIMIT or OPEN LIMIT, if one of the limit switches is engaged.

NOTE: If the LEDs do not follow this pattern, the controller board may not be working

correctly. Stop installation and call LiftMaster Technical Support for assistance.

I. SETTING LIMIT CAMS

• The left limit cam is close to the output shaft. The right limit cam is close to the control box (see Figure 14).

• Limit cams are adjusted by releasing the cam lock plate, rotating the cams, then reseating the cam lock plate. When the adjustment is finished, be sure the cam lock plate is seated into the notches of BOTH CAMS.

• Each cam rotation (360°) equals 11” of gate travel. Each notch equals 5/8” of gate travel.

Figure 14. Limit Cam Setting.

NOTE: The following procedures are for FRONT drive gates. For MID and REAR

drive gates, reverse Left Gate and Right Gate procedures.

1. SETTING RIGHT GATE LIMIT CAMS (gate opens right, as seen from the gate operator side)

1. Make sure that switch S2 is set to the “Right” position.

2. Turn on gate operator power switch.

3. Using manual OPEN and STOP, move the gate to its proper open limit position.

4. Rotate the Left cam until it just barely closes the limit switch.

5. Using manual CLOSE and STOP, move the gate to its proper closed limit position.

6. Rotate the Right cam until it just barely closes the limit switch.

7. Open and close the gate to check the limit cam settings. If required, readjust the limit cams until they are set properly.

2. SETTING LEFT GATE LIMIT CAMS (gate opens left, as seen from inside the property)

1. Make sure that switch S2 is set to the “Left” position.

2. Turn on gate operator power switch.

3. Using manual OPEN and STOP, move the gate to its proper open limit position.

4. Rotate the Right cam until it just barely closes the limit switch.

5. Using manual CLOSE and STOP, move the gate to its proper closed limit position.

Page 16

J. GATE SENSITIVITY ADJUSTMENTS

The gate operator monitors both average and peak motor current. When the gate encounters an obstruction, the gate operator senses the change in motor current and reverses the gate. Three sensitivity adjustments must be set for each installation:

• Right gate motion (R69)

• Left gate motion (R160)

• Start-up current (R203)

♦ If your installation requires setting switch S2 to the “Open to Right” position, use the

“Open to Right" adjustment procedures below. If your installation requires setting S2 to the “Open to Left” position, use the “Open to Left" adjustments following the "Open to Right" procedures.

♦ The minimum sensitivity is full clockwise and maximum sensitivity is full counter

clockwise. These adjustments must be made while the gate is in motion.

♦ Before starting the adjustments, verify that the Left and Right reverse pots are set

fully clockwise, and the Start-up pot is set to the 11 o’clock position (See Fig. 15). ♦ Make all adjustments in the order listed. NOTE: Current flow varies with temperature. Do not tune the sensitivity

measurements too finely, or they may cause false overcurrent faults to occur during cold weather.

IMPORTANT: Before proceeding, see NOTES below.

1. Wire all external control devices to their connections on the control board as shown. See Appendix A for details on how each control input affects the gate operator.

2. Connect the Master/Slave interconnect cable (see Series X3 Master/Slave Systems, Part 1).

NOTES

1. 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.

IMPORTANT: As per UL325 standards, install the Manual Inputs and Fire switches in the line of sight with the gate.

2. If gate(s) are used for bi-directional traffic, the Exit Loop should be a directional loop detector.

3. Inside and Outside Interrupt Loops: ♦ For maximum safety, Inside and Outside Interrupt loops require separate loop

detectors.

♦ Bipart of Bipart Latch: If only one loop detector is used, connect Outside loop to the

Inside loop detector.

4. Battery is used to store date and time.

M. POST INSTALLATION PROCEDURES

1. Setup

1. Turn on the main power at the gate operator's circuit breaker.

2. Verify that switch S2 (the Gate Open Direction switch) is set to the correct position.

3. Turn on the unit power switch .

2. Manual inputs

1. Verify that Manual Open fully opens the gate and that the open limit switch stops the gate.

2. Verify that Manual Close fully closes the gate and that the close limit switch stops the gate.

3. Verify that Manual Stop stops the gate.

Note: If the gate stops due to an Obstruction Fault, readjust the gate sensitivity pots.

3. Mechanical

Use the Manual Input commands to verify that:

1. The gate swings open and closed smoothly.

2. There is no squeak or vibration in the gate when it is moving .

3. There is no belt slippage when the gate moves or stops.

4. There is no slack in the closed gate due to loose chain or parts.

5. Bi-Parting gates only: Both gates open and close at the same time.

4. Gate Sensitivity and Obstruction Alarm (Primary Obstruction Sensing per UL 325)

1. Left/Right Obstruction sensitivity:

Apply a bump to the opening and closing gate and verify that the gate stops or reverses.

Rev J Doc 01-20098 Page 20 of 44

Page 21

2. Start-Up Sensitivity: Apply a bump to the gate as it starts moving and verify that the gate responds to the bump within a second.

3. Obstruction Alarm: Cause two obstruction faults before the gate reaches its open or closed limit and verify that the Obstruction Alarm sounds.

5. Entry inputs

1. Activate the CYCLE input (entry system), RADIO input (radio transmitter), and EXIT Loop input (driving over the exit loop) and verify that they fully open the gate. If Reclose Timer is enabled, it will close the gate.

2. Activate the FIRE input (fire department switch) and verify that the gate fully opens and then closes after 5 seconds. If Reclose Timer is enabled, it will close the gate.

6. Alternate Action

If Alternate Action has been selected so that CYCLE or RADIO commands both open and close the

gate:

Activate the CYCLE command, wait until the gate is fully open, then activate the CYCLE command

again. The gate should close, verifying Alternate Action operation.

Note: If you select Alternate Action, you can't enable ATG and RT in procedures 7 and 8.

7. Reclose Timer (RT)

If Reclose Timer has been enabled in programming step 8, verify Reclose Timer as follows:

1. Activate any entry command (except Manual OPEN) to open the gate.

2. Start timing when the gate reaches fully open and verify that the Reclose Timer recloses the gate after the desired interval.

NOTE: Reclose Timer is not functional when the Manual OPEN command is used.

8. Inside Interrupt Loop and Anti-Tailgating (ATG) When Exiting

GATE TYPE is SLIDE ATG OFF:

If ATG is turned OFF (0 entered in step 6), activate the CYCLE command, drive over the Interrupt Loop and verify its operation:

# Opening Gates: When a vehicle drives on the Interrupt Loop an opening gate will be unaffected.

# Closing Gates: When a vehicle drives on the Interrupt Loop a closing gate will open and the Reclose Timer (if enabled) will start.

ATG ON: If ATG is turned ON (1 entered in step 6), activate the CYCLE command, drive over the Interrupt Loop and verify its operation:

# Opening Gates: When a vehicle drives on the Interrupt Loop an opening gate will continue to open, but will close as soon as the vehicle drives off the Interrupt Loop.

# Closing Gates: When a vehicle drives on the Interrupt Loop a closing gate will stop, but will close as soon as the vehicle drives off the Interrupt Loop.

SET SECURITY MODE

The Universal Receiver can be used with up to 15 rolling code transmitters or passwords in HIGH security mode. Alternately, it can be used with up to 31 of any type transmitter in NORMAL security mode, including any combination of rolling code, billion code, or dip switch remotes.

The jumper must be set at the HIGH position for the receiver to operate in HIGH security mode. It must be set at NORMAL position to operate at the NORMAL mode. (Figure 19)

When changing from NORMAL to HIGH security mode, any previous transmitter codes must be erased. Repeat Steps 2 and 3 in the Programming Section below to reprogram the receiver for each remote control transmitter in use.

The receiver is factory set at HIGH.

SET OUTPUT DURATION

For commercial applications, the receiver can be set for either constant or momentary closure on the output contacts. Use of constant closure is prohibited on residential garage door openers because it overrides the safety reversal devices.

With the jumper in the “M” (Momentary) position, the contacts will close for 1/4 second regardless of the length of radio transmission. With the jumper in “C” (Constant) position, the contacts will stay closed as long as the radio continues transmitting. (Figure 20)

The receiver is factory set at M.

PROGRAMMING THE REMOTE TO THE RECEIVER

1. Pry open the front panel of receiver case with a coin or a screwdriver. Re-connect power to opener.

(Figure 21)

2. Press and release the “learn” button on the receiver. The learn indicator light will glow steadily for 30 seconds.

3. Within 30 seconds, press and hold the button on the hand-held remote that you wish to operate your garage door.

The opener will now operate when the push button on either the receiver or the remote control transmitter is pressed.

Repeat Steps 2 and 3 for each remote control that will be used to operate the garage door opener.

TO ERASE ALL REMOTE CONTROL CODES

Press and hold the “learn” button on the receiver panel until the indicator light turns off (about 6 seconds). All transmitter codes are now erased. Then follow the steps above to reprogram each remote control.

To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from electrocution:

• Be sure power is not connected BEFORE installing the receiver. To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from a moving

gate or garage door:

• ALWAYS keep remote controls out of reach of children. NEVER permit children to operate, or play with remote control transmitters.

• Activate gate or door ONLY when it can be seen clearly, is properly adjusted, and there are no obstructions to door travel.

• ALWAYS keep gate or garage door in sight until completely closed.

NEVER permit anyone to cross path of moving gate or door.

WARNING

To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH, the use of CONSTANT OPERATION on residential openers is PROHIBITED.

WARNING

NOTICE: To comply with FCC and or Industry Canada (IC) rules, adjustment or modifications of this receiver and/or transmitter are prohibited, except for changing the code setting or replacing the battery. THERE ARE NO OTHER USER SERVICEABLE PARTS.

D. MAINTENANCE

To avoid injury, always turn off the unit power switch before working on gate.

Regular performance of preventive maintenance is essential for reliable system operation because it corrects small problems before they turn into emergencies. LiftMaster recommends performing preventive maintenance every 6 to 12 months, depending upon the amount of gate usage.

• If the gate is installed in a private residence or small apartment house where usage is not severe, yearly preventive maintenance is acceptable.

• If the gate is installed in a high-traffic application, semi-annual preventive maintenance is essential.

1. PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE TASKS

1. Gate: must roll freely without any impediment. Check wheels, grease if necessary.

2. Chain: Check for wear and tension. If loose, adjust chain tension. Do not oil chain.

3. Sprocket: must not be loose on the shaft. Tighten set screws if loose !.

4. Idlers: Check for wear. Tighten bolts if loose. Do not oil idler assembly.

WARNING

5. Limit switches: contacts must bounce back rapidly when they are pressed and release. Cam lock plate (see Figure 15) must firmly hold the cams. Do not oil gearbox shaft.

6. Belt: Check for wear and tension (25 to 30 lbs.). Adjust the AC motor up or down to set proper tension.

7. Pulleys: must all line up and be firmly secured to their shafts. Tighten set screws if loose !.

8. Gear Box: Check for no oil leakage around the bushings. Do not oil gearbox.

9. Control board: Check for water damage or burned spots. All connectors secured to the board.

10. Wiring: Check all wiring for any insulation damage. Check for loose wire connections.

11. No Rust: Check for rust throughout the unit. Check corners for water entrapment.

12. Fire Open: Activate Fire department switch to verify emergency gate opening.

13. Gate Sense: Check for the gate sensitivity (refer to Part 2, System Installation, Section J, Gate Sensitivity Adjustments).

14. Photo-Sensors: Ensure that sensor emitters/receivers are aligned and clean. Verify that inputs stop gate.

15. Obstruction Alarm: Check for proper operation. Alarm must sound after two consecutive gate obstruction faults.

NOTES: !: To prevent loosening, LOCTITE threadlocker 242 is applied to set screws.

FUNCTIONAL INPUTS

NOTES: ! The term "activation" means closing an input circuit (via a relay or switch), and

may be momentary or continuous. Momentary activations are superceded by any command. Continuous activations are superceded only by an overriding command.

$ Activating any command when gate is at the open limit stops the Reclose Timer. When the command (except Manual CLOSE and STOP) is cleared, the Reclose Timer is reset.

MANUAL INPUTS: OPEN, CLOSE, AND STOP (TB2)

MAN OPEN Activation fully opens the gate. Continuous activation holds

gate open. MAN OPEN overrides Anti-Tail-gate (ATG), Reclose

Timer, and all controls but MAN STOP.

MAN CLOSE Activation fully closes the gate. Continuous activation holds

gate closed. MAN CLOSE overrides all controls but MAN STOP, MAN OPEN and FIRE.

MAN STOP De-activation stops opening and closing gates. MAN STOP

overrides Reclose Timer and all other controls, manual or automatic. If MAN STOP is disconnected from its COMMON,

no commands affect the gate.

ENTRY SYSTEM/FIRE SWITCH INPUTS (TB9)

CYCLE Reclose Timer OFF:

Alternate Action allows a single command to both open and close the gate. Activation opens the gate, which remains open until another command is received. A CYCLE command when the gate is fully open closes the gate. CYCLE also opens a closing gate. If Anti-Tailgating (ATG) is enabled, Alternate Action is disabled. With ATG enabled, the gate begins closing as soon as the INTERRUPT LOOP clears.

Reclose Timer ON:

Activation opens the gate, then the Reclose Timer closes the gate. A CYCLE command also opens a closing gate, but will not close a fully open gate if the Reclose Timer is enabled. If AntiTailgating (ATG) is enabled, the gate closes as soon as the INTERRUPT LOOP clears.

FIRE Activation opens the gate. Continuous activation holds the gate

open. If the Reclose Timer is disabled and FIRE is deactivated, the gate closes after 5 seconds. If Reclose Timer is enabled, when FIRE is deacitvated, the Reclose Timer starts. FIRE overrides all commands but Manual STOP.

EXIT LOOP/SHADOW LOOP DETECTOR INPUTS (TB10)

EXIT LOOP Same as CYCLE, but does not close the gate when it is fully open. SHADOW LOOP Activation prevents the gate from opening or closing so the gate

won't hit a vehicle. If the gate is already moving, or if the gate is not fully opened or closed, this input has no effect.

Rev J Doc 01-20098 Page 35 of 44

Page 36

INSIDE/OUTSIDE INTERRUPT LOOP DETECTOR (TB16)

IF GATE TYPE IS SWING OR LINEAR (ATG IS NOT FUNCTIONAL):

Inside Interrupt Loop:

Activation stops an opening or closing gate and deactivation opens the gate.

Outside Interrupt Loop:

Activation opens a closing gate.

IF GATE TYPE IS SLIDE OR BARRIER AND ATG IS OFF:

Inside Interrupt Loop:

Activation opens a closing gate.

Outside Interrupt Loop:

Activation opens a closing gate.

IF GATE TYPE IS SLIDE OR BARRIER AND ATG IS ON:

Inside Interrupt Loop:

Activation/deactivation closes an opening gate. Activation stops a closing gate and deactivation closes the gate.

Outside Interrupt Loop:

Activation stops a closing gate and deactivation closes the gate.

INSIDE/OUTSIDE PHOTO-SENSOR (TB3)

IF GATE TYPE IS SWING OR LINEAR:

Inside Photo Sensor:

Activation stops a moving gate and deactivation restarts the gate.

Outside Photo Sensor:

Activation stops a closing gate and deactivation restarts the gate.

IF GATE TYPE IS SLIDE OR BARRIER:

Inside Photo Sensor:

Activation stops an opening gate and deactivation restarts the gate.

Outside Photo Sensor:

Activation stops a closing gate and deactivation restarts the gate.

INTERRUPT BAR INPUTS (TB11)

INTERRUPT BAR Activation causes gate to stop and reverse a few inches.

INS./OUTS. INT. SENSE / SHADOW SENSE / EXIT SENSE (TB12/TB13/TB14/TB15)

INPUTS

INSIDE Input from an Inside Interrupt loop provides the signal for an INTERRUPT optional LiftMaster loop detector add-on board. Operation is the

same as the Interrupt Loop SENSE input, above. OUTSIDE Input from an Outside Interrupt loop provides the signal for an INTERRUPT optional LiftMaster loop detector add-on board. Operation is the

same as the Interrupt SENSE Loop input, above. SHADOW Input from shadow loop provides signal for optional LiftMaster loop SENSE detector add-on board. Operation is the same as Shadow Loop

input, above. EXIT Input from exit loop provides signal for optional LiftMaster loop SENSE detector add-on board. Operation is the same as Exit Loop input,

above.

RADIO INPUT (TB6)

Rev J Doc 01-20098 Page 36 of 44

Page 37

RADIO RECV Convenience terminals provide power and contact connection for a

radio receiver. Activation is the same as CYCLE.

OBSTRUCTION ALARM (TB17)

Relay contacts close to provide 24VDC alarm power if the gate has two consecutive obstruction faults.

LOW BATTERY/ NO AC POWER (TB18)

LOW BATTERY Activation fully opens or closes the gate, depending the setting of

Switch S3.

NO AC POWER Activation registers the date and time of power outages in the gate

operator transaction buffer.

24VAC OUTPUT (TB7) Terminals provide power (24VAC, 200mA) for peripheral devices.

MAGLOCK INPUT (TB4)

MAGLOCK Relay contacts close when the gate is fully closed.

SLAVE I/O INPUT (TB1)

SLAVE I/O Input/output terminals are used to control a second gate operator in a

Master/Slave system.

PHONE LINE (J9) Terminals connect the telephone line to the gate operator. ADJUSTMENTS

OBSTRUCTION Adjustable pot controls gate sensitivity to blockages by the RIGHT (R69) instantaneous rise in motor current. When the limit is exceeded, the

gate reverses a programmed distance (minimum 2 inches).

OBSTRUCTION Adjustable pot controls gate sensitivity to blockages by the LEFT (R160) instantaneous rise in motor current. When the limit is exceeded, the

gate reverses a programmed distance (minimum 2 inches).

NOTE: LiftMaster gate operators have two obstruction sense adjustments (left and right)

where other gate operators have only one. This allows greater flexibility of installation. For instance, you can install a gate on an incline and not worry about sacrificing downhill gate sensitivity.

START-UP Adjustable pot controls the delay in sensitivity to gate (R203) obstructions. This delay in sensitivity prevents the initial motor

inrush current from causing a obstruction fault. The weight of the gate determines this setting.

GLOSSARY

AC: Alternating Current. An electric current or voltage that reverses direction at regular intervals. Alternate Action: Ability to open and close a fully open gate by using the same open command. Arc: The area that is swept by a swing gate from fully closed to fully open position. ATG: Anti-tailgating refers to a method of immediately closing an opening gate behind a vehicle so

that an unauthorized vehicle can not follow the authorized vehicle through the gate.

DC: Direct Current. An electric current of constant value flowing in one direction only. Dynamic braking: Stopping the gate by activating the forward and reverse windings of the gate

operator motor in each half AC cycle.

Fault: An abnormal condition which causes the gate to stop to protect the gate and the user. Gate sensitivity: The response of the gate operator to an exerting force to the gate. Gear reducer: A device that changes the speed and power of its driving force (motor). Inrush current: Initial current drawn into an electrical device due to its capacitive or inductive

nature.

Interrupt Bar or Edge: A switch which is installed at the edge of a gate to protect an object which

is situated between the gate and the gate frame.

LED: Light Emitting Diode. LEDs are indicators placed on the controller board which light up to

indicate an action in the system.

Limit switch: A switch which its closure indicates the gate has reached its open or close limit,

causing the gate to stop. There are two limit switches, open and close.

Limit cam: An object which its excursion corresponds to the gate traveling distance and closes the

limit switch at the open or close limit of the gate.

Loop sensor: A wire embedded in the ground for magnetically sensing large metallic objects

(cars).

# Exit or Open Loop: activation opens the gate. # Interrupt or Reverse or Reopen Loop: activation reverses or stops the gate. # Shadow Loop: activation prevents a fully open or closed gate from moving while a

vehicle is inside the arc of a swing gate.

Loop detector: An electronic device that is activated by a loop sensor sensing a metallic object. Master/Slave: A synchronized system containing a pair of gate operators. Maglock: An electric magnet which is used to secure the closed gate. Pulley: A grooved wheel which transfers power via a belt. Reclose Timer: An electronic timer which closes the fully open gate automatically. RPM: Revolutions Per Minute indicates the rotational speed of an object. Sprocket: A toothed wheel which transfers power via a chain. Thermal overload: A condition at which a heat producing device shuts off automatically when it

reaches a critical and damaging temperature level.

Torque: A force that causes rotation.
