Lift-master SL-3000-UL User Manual

Installation Instructions Regarding the Gate Operator

A wireless contact sensor such as the one that transmits radio frequency (RF) signals to the gate operator for entrapment protection functions shall be located where the transmission of the signals are not obstructed or impeded by building structures, natural landscaping or similar obstruction. A wireless contact sensor shall function under the intended end-use conditions.

Important Safety Instructions

WARNING - To Reduce the Risk of Injury or Death:

1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS!

2. Never let children operate or play with gate controls. Keep the remote control away from children.

3. Always keep people and objects away from the gate while the gate is in operation. NO ONE SHOULD CROSS THE PATH OF A MOVING GATE.

4. Test the gate operator monthly. The gate MUST reverse on contact with a rigid object or stop when an object activates the non-contact sensors. After

adjusting the force or the limit of travel, retest the gate operator, Failure to adjust and retest the gate operator properly can increase the risk of injury or death.

5. Use the emergency release only when the gate is not moving. Make sure the power for the gate operator is off.

6. KEEP GATES PROPERLY MAINTAINED. Read the manual. Have a qualified service person make repairs to the gate or gate hardware.

7. The entrance is for vehicles only. Pedestrians must use separate entrance.

8. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

A) Install the gate operator only when:

1) The operator is appropriate for the construction and the usage Class of the gate.

2) All openings of a horizontal slide gate are guarded or screened from the bottom of the gate to a minimum of 4 feet (1.2 m) above the ground to prevent a 2 1/4inch (57.15 mm) diameter sphere from passing through the openings anywhere in the gate, and in that portion of the adjacent fence that the gate covers in the open position.

3) All exposed pinch points are eliminated or guarded, and

4) Guarding is supplied for exposed rollers. B) The operator is intended for installation only on gates used for vehicles. Pedestrians must be supplied with a separate access opening. C) The gate must be installed in a location so that enough clearance is supplied between the gate and adjacent structures when opening and closing to

reduce the risk of entrapment. Swinging gates shall not open into public access areas.

D) The gate must be properly installed and work freely in both directions prior to the installation of the gate operator. E) F) Controls must be far enough from the gate so that the user is prevented from coming in contact with the gate while operating the controls. Controls

intended to be used to reset an operator after 2 sequential activations of the entrapment protection device or devices must be located in the line of sight of the gate outdoor or easily accessible controls shall have a security feature to prevent unauthorized use.

G) All warning signs and placards must be installed where visible in the area of the gate. H) For a gate operator utilizing a non-contact sensor such as a photo beam:

1) See instructions on the placement of non-contact sensor for each Type of application,

2) Care shall be exercised to reduce the risk of nuisance tripping, such as when a vehicle trips the sensor while the gate still moving, and

3) One or more non-contact sensors shall be located where the risk of entrapment or obstruction exists, such as the perimeter reachable by a

moving gate or barrier.

I) For a gate operator utilizing a contact sensor such as an edge sensor:

1) One or more contact sensors shall be located at the leading edge, trailing edge and postmounted both inside and outside of a vehicular

horizontal slide gate.

2) One or more contact sensors shall be located at the bottom edge of a vehicular vertical lift gate.

3) One or more contact sensors shall be located at the pinch point of a vehicular vertical pivot gate.

4) A hardwired contact sensor shall be located and its wiring arranged so that the communication between the sensor and the gate operator is

not subjected to mechanical damage.

Gate – A moving barrier such as a swinging, sliding, raising lowering, rolling, or like, barrier, that is a

stand-alone passage barrier or is that portion of a wall or fence system that controls entrance and/or egress by persons or vehicles and completes the perimeter of a defined area.

Vehicular horizontal slide-gate operator (or system) – A vehicular gate operator (or system) that controls a gate which slides in a horizontal direction that is intended for use for vehicular entrance or exit to a drive, parking lot, or the like.

Residential vehicular gate operator – Class I – A vehicular gate

operator (or system) intended for use in a home of one-to four single family dwelling, or a garage or parking area associated therewith.

Class I

Commercial/General access vehicular gate operator – Class II

– A vehicular gate operator (or system) intended for use in a

commercial location or building such as a multi-family housing unit (five or more single family units) hotel, garages, retail store or other building servicing the general public.

Class II

Commercial/General access vehicular gate operator – Class III –

A vehicular gate operator (or system) intended for use in a industrial location or building such as a factory or loading dock area or other locations not intended to service the general public.

Class III

Restricted access vehicular gate operator – Class IV – A

vehicular gate operator (or system) intended for use in a guarded industrial location or building such as an airport security area or other restricted access locations not servicing the general public, in which unauthorized access is prevented via supervision by security personnel.

Gate

1/2" Clearance Between Gate and Rollers

Minimum Clearance of 5" Between Back of Gate and Wall or Other Objects in Gate's Path

1/4" Clearance from Top of Gate

For safety reasons, a physical stop MUST be installed on the gate prior to installation of the gate operator. This will assure that the gate does not exceed movement limits and derail while in motion.

CAUTION

Gate in Fully Opened Position Gate Clearances

IMPORTANT! Because gate coasting distance varies with temperature, Elite DOES NOT

recommend the installation of a catch post. This could cause the gate to collide with the post.

Incorrect Installation using a Catch Post!

IMPORTANT NOTICE!

Installers are required to adhere to this procedure: The UL required Warning Signs must be installed in plain view and on both sides of each gate installed. Each sign is made with fastening holes in each corner and should be permanently secured in a suitable manner. Also the warning sticker should be placed on the operator so it is clearly visible.
