SAFETY SUMMARY

It is imperative that everyone involved in the installation or operation of the LiftMaster model SL 1000X1 Slide Gate Operator reads 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.

• Improper installation of a gate operator can result in a dangerous system.

• Gate operators can present serious hazards to persons in the immediate area when

not controlled in a safe manner. Choose one or more controls that together will allow complete control of the gate. Most importantly, the gate must be able to be stopped at all times in case of emergency, and the emergency control should be conveniently located, clearly marked and visible.

• All controls must be kept out of the reach of small children. Serious injury or death can result from children playing with the controls.

• All controls should be located so the person operating them can see the full area of gate movement.

• Gate operators and associated control equipment should be installed by qualified professional installers who should observe the following safe installation procedures:

1. Power should always be disconnected whenever installing, wiring or servicing a

gate operator. Moving chains in gate operators can catch clothing or fingers and cause severe injury.

2. Installation of wiring should comply with local building and electrical codes.

3. All manual gate locks should be disabled to avoid damage to the gate or gate

operator should the lock become engaged after the operator is installed.

4. All operator controls and safety equipment should be tested at the conclusion of

installation to be sure they are functioning properly.

5. The operation of the gate controls and safety equipment should be reviewed with

the owner and/or end user of the automated gate system. They should also be informed of the need to maintain control and safety equipment on a regular basis. Safety equipment should be checked monthly to ensure it is working properly. All installation manuals and safety information should be left with the owner.

6. Moving gates have pinch points and entrapment zones which can be extremely

dangerous to pedestrians, especially small children.

BASIC INSTALLATION HINTS AND RULES

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION VERY CAREFULLY BEFORE BEGINNING YOUR INSTALLATION.

In the sections that follow, detailed procedures are discussed for each step required to install a model SL 1000-X1 system. In addition to these specific procedures, there are a number of general hints and rules which will help ensure that your installation will be done correctly and efficiently. These are discussed below.

1. UNDERSTAND THE SYSTEM AND INSTALLATION SITE THOROUGHLY. The SL 1000-X1 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-X1 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. 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 16) 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.

4. 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.

5. DO NOT OVERLOAD THE TERMINAL BLOCKS. The terminal blocks used in the gate operator 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 pins designated for that terminal block.

Stranded wire must be between 16 and 24 awg. Solid wire must be between 18 and 24 awg. 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 wires per terminal.

6. 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.

7. READ THE 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.

8. 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 the manual, Programming Instructions for LiftMaster SL 1000-X1 and SW 2000-X1 Gate Operators (Doc. No. 6001193) to guide them. It will save you and them lots of inconvenience and aggravation later.

PART 1

SITE PREPARATION

Figure 3. Mid Drive.

1. Always install the gate operator on the inside of the fence line, never on the public side of the fence.

2. All manual controls and activating devices should be mounted at least 6 ft. away from the gate to

provide safety.

3. Allow enough clearance around the gate and the gate operator for installation and service.

4. The gate operator can provide front and rear drive configuration (Figures 1 and 2), and mid drive

can be used if the operator is post mounted and clearance is provided under the operator for the chain anchor on the gate (Figure 3).

5. Center idlers may be required on the Mid Drive and Rear Drive configurations to keep the chain

from dragging on itself.

NOTE: Master links and tension adjusters are provided with the gate operator.

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). NOTE: Shading indicates acceptable areas for conduit stub access.

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.

Rev C Doc 6001194 (01-20259) 4 of 36

C. POWER WIRING

1. Provide a conduit stub for the AC power.

2. The gate operator requires a 115 VAC 20 AMP single phase circuit.

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

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

D. LOOP DETECTORS

• The gate operator has a shelf that can support 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.

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

• The shelf space provided is approximately 4” x 10” x 18” high.

NOTE: Shelf space on systems without the Power Fail Option is about 10" x 10" x18".

E. TELEPHONE CONNECTION

• Provisions should be made for a conduit entrance into the gate operator for the telephone line.

• 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

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

For safety reasons, the Power Fail Operation Option is shipped with the battery unconnnected to the system. Do not connect the battery until all other installation and alignment procedures have been completed. Failure to observe this warning may result in the Power Fail Operation Option moving the gate at unexpected moments.

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

1. Remove the 4 protective bolts that hold the cover on, lift the cover off, and set aside.

2. Remove the assembly kit and parts.

3. Remove the 4 bolts that attach the gate operator to the shipping pallet.

4. Mount gate operator on the cement pad using the previously installed anchor bolts (studs). Be sure the operator mounting is level and the chain face is parallel to gate movement (Figures 7 and 8).

5. Move the idler wheel mounting if required by this specific installation (Figure 8).

6. Attach gate anchor to gate by welding (Figure 9).

7. Install the chain to the gate using supplied hardware. Adjust nuts for proper chain tension to prevent the chains from loosening and twisting (Figure 10).

8. Ensure the chain is parallel to gate travel both horizontally and vertically (Figure 9).

9. Connect the power conduit into the switch box.

B. INSTALLING LOCK HASP

The supplied lock hasp may be installed to prevent unauthorized access to the gate operator.

1. Install the lock hasp on the two holes underneath the control box. Orient the hasp with the tongue at the center of the gate operator chassis and secure in place with supplied hardware.

2. After installing the gate operator cover, a padlock may be used to secure the cover to the lock hasp.

Run power cables through conduit to Gate Operator, then connect wires to the switch box as shown in Figure 11:

1. Wire nut the hot (black) wire to the black pig tail.

2. Wire nut the neutral (white) wire to the white pig tail.

3. Wire nut the ground (green) wire to the green pig tail.

4. Dress all wiring inside the switch box and install cover.

C. RUNNING INPUT WIRING

1. Remove the plastic control box cover.

2. Run wires from input components into control box.

Figure 11. AC Wiring.

WARNING

Route but do not connect input wires at this time. If inputs are connected now, the gate operator may activate at random during installation, potentially injuring installation personnel.

D. SETTING GATE OPEN DIRECTION SWITCHES S1 AND S2

Figure 12. Gate Direction, Power Fail Option Switch Location.

The gate motion left and right is determined by looking at the gate from the gate operator side.

1. Gate opening direction is set by switch S1, located below the keypad on the control board. The switch is sensed only on power up, so it should be set when the power is off.

2. Ensure power is off.

3. Set the switch to the left or to the right as required.

If the system was ordered with the Power Fail Operation option:

4. The power failure gate opening direction is set by switch S2, located next to switch S1 below the keypad on the control board. Set the switch to the left or to the right as required.

Rev C Doc 6001194 (01-20259) 8 of 36

E. POWER UP PROCEDURE

If gate is positioned at the ‘open’ limit, gate will automatically close when 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 the power switch on. If gate is positioned at the open limit, it will automatically cycle to the full closed position. If gate is positioned anywhere else, it will not move until commanded.

3. The seven-segment display above the keypad will sequentially spell out HELLO, then go blank.

NOTE: If the display does not follow this pattern, the controller board may not be working

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

F. USING MANUAL CONTROLS

CAUTION

Figure 13. Manual Controls, Location and Operation.

Use the manual controls on Manual Input Terminal TB2 (OPEN, CLOSE, and STOP, as shown in Figure 13), to move the gate arm for installation and to cycle the gate when making the limit cam adjustments.

• To open the gate: connect the OPEN terminal to the COMMON terminal.

• To close the gate: connect the CLOSE terminal to the COMMON terminal.

• To stop the gate: connect the STOP terminal to the COMMON terminal.

G. SETTING LIMIT CAMS

• The left limit cam is close to the gearbox. The right limit is close to the end of the shaft (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 (360o) equals 11” of gate travel. Each cam notch equals 5/8” of gate travel.
