7 Safety Information
Safety Information
Vehicular gate systems provide convenience and security. Gate systems are comprised of many
component parts. The gate operator is only one component. Each gate system is specifically
designed for an individual application.
Gate operating system designers, installers and users must take into account the possible hazards
associated with each individual application. Improperly designed, installed or maintained systems can
create risks for the user as well as the bystander. Gate systems design and installation must reduce
public exposure to potential hazards.
A gate operator can create high levels of force, in its function as a component part of a gate system.
Therefore, safety features must be incorporated into every design. Specific safety features include:
Gate Edges Enclosed Track Vertical Posts
Guards for exposed
rollers
Screen Mesh
Important instructions follow. These instructions are intended to highlight certain safety related issues.
These instructions are not intended to be comprehensive. Because each application is unique, it is the
responsibility of the purchaser, designer, installer and end user to ensure that the total gate system is
safe for its intended use.
Photo-electric Sensors Instructional and
Precautionary Signage

Safety Precautions for Open-Roller Gates and Ornamental “Grill
OPEN-ROLLER GATES
Injuries occur when people get their or feet caught between the top or bottom of the gate and the
gate roller. This potential pinch-point should be guarded against at all times. Enclosed style gate
tracks are available for refitting of these rollers from many fence suppliers. Also, roller guards are
available for installing over the rollers.
One more contact sensors shall be located at the leading edge, trailing edge, and post-mounted
both inside and outside of a vehicular horizontal slide gate.

10 Safety Information
ORNAMENTAL “GRILL TYPE” GATES
Injuries occur when people put their hands and arms through openings in the grill and the gate is
operated. They cannot retract their arm and it gets caught between the moving gate grill and the
stationary fence post or fence. This potential hazard can be averted by placing a 4’ screen mesh
on the gate to prevent access through openings anywhere the gate may travel. See Safety
Brochure for details.

SOLENOID ACTIVATED, CALIPER
DISC BRAKE
The brake (Figure 5) minimizes overtravel
caused by gate coasting. An added
feature of the brake is to assist in
preventing backdriving of the gate.
The brake is spring applied whenever the
motor is not running. Anytime the motor is
running, the electric solenoid physically
releases the brake.
Important: periodically check and adjust
the brake mechanism. See page 31.
PRESSURE TYPE SLIPPING
CLUTCH
The operator clutch mechanism (Figure 6)
works similar to that of a clutch in a car. It
allows the operator to gradually start the
gate moving, rather than trying to
instantaneously start moving the gate.

CLUTCH
This clutch mechanism must be adjusted
properly. During the installation of the
operator, you must tighten the clutch
spring lock nut so it is tight enough to
operate the gate, yet loose enough so that
if the gate meets an obstruction, the clutch
will slip easily.
This clutch system will require periodic
maintenance. See page 31.
WARNING
This friction clutch system is not an automatic reversing device. It only serves to minimize
damage to the gate operator and gate, and also to hopefully minimize vehicle damage. If you
need an external automatic obstruction sensing device, items such as gate edges and photo
beams are available to help protect pedestrians.

MODEL SL580 – Slide out the lock bar located underneath the cover and remove the cover.
Pull the disconnect chain and engage it in the slot provided. The gate may now be moved
manually.
To re-engage the operator, release the chain from the slot. The lock bar has provisions for a
padlock to prevent tampering with the operator.
MODEL SL590 – Open the hinged door and pull the disconnect lever and lock it in place.
The gate may now be moved manually.
To re-engage the operator, release the lever and close the door. The door has provisions for
a padlock to prevent tampering with the operator.
NOTES: On both models, when the operator is under load, you may find it necessary to
relieve the tension on the drive chain before disengaging the system. This may be
accomplished by firmly applying pressure in a downward motion to the drive chain with
your foot. You may also relieve pressure by rotating the external gear reducer shaft,
extending through the brake.

AUDIBLE WARNING DEVICE
If the operator should have a second
inherent obstruction in sequence with the
first; i.e. back to back, the sounder will
activate. Also the sounder can be
programmed to come on 2 seconds prior to
gate movement and stay on during gate
movement.
THREE BUTTON CONTROL (SEQUENCE OF
OPERATION)
Open, stop, close, close is programmable. Stop will override
all other functions. If closing, open will cause the operator to
stop and reverse to full open. Will close from open limit or
midstop only. If SW1 pin 1 is on three button station will only
close the operator from the open limit or from mid-stop. If
SW1 pin 1 is off, the input will work as a single button (open,
close, stop).

SINGLE BUTTON CONTROL (SEQUENCE OF OPERATION)
Open to open limit, close open. If power has been interrupted, will always open with first
activation.
CLOSE SINGLE BUTTON SELECT
The single button (programmable) control can be programmed to either function as a single button
control or to function as a close button only.
DIGITAL MICROPROCESSOR
This is the main circuit board for the operator. It contains all the logic and intelligence for the
system. All the system programming is done on this circuit board. All solid state, with an
emergency back-up system that works even if the processor is missing.
INHERENT OBSTRUCTION PROTECTION
The limit shaft is equipped with an R.P.M. sensor. When the gate meets an obstruction, the loss
of r.p.m’s. will cause the gate to reverse. A second obstruction will cause the gate to stop. A
renewed wired input will restart the gate.
Doc 01-G0547
Rev D
16 Features
EXTERNAL OBSTRUCTION CIRCUIT
This circuit can be used with either a gate edge or a photo beam system. When either of the two
devices mentioned are activated, the operator will react in a similar manner to the inherent
obstruction described above.
SPECIAL NOTE ABOUT OBSTRUCTION SENSING FROM EITHER INTERNAL OR
EXTERNAL SYSTEMS
The operator will stop if it senses two sequential obstructions. If will not activate form any
automatic system, including the built in time delay to close. Either a manual device such as a
pushbutton within site of the gate and operator, or the stop button supplied with the operator must
be activated to resume the operator back to its normal operation.
OPEN ONLY CIRCUIT
Separate open circuits for line-of sight devices and out-of-sight devices such as open loops or
radio controls.
LOOP CONTROL CIRCUITS
Vehicle control devices such as opening or security loop detectors are connected to this circuit
NOTE: If external entrapment protection is required by the class of operator, both an open
and closed protection device must be used.
TIME DELAY TO REVERSE CIRCUIT
Allows the gate to come to a complete stop before reversing direction. Approximately ½ second
between stop and reverse.
NOTE: This feature is defeated when either the inherent or external obstruction circuits
are activated.

6 Adjust nuts on chain take-up bolts to remove chain slack. Leave a maximum of one (1) inch
of chain slack for every 10 feet of chain length. Do not overtighten chain.
7 It is recommended that the gate brackets be welded to the gate after the chain is properly
installed, adjusted, and the operator is functioning.
SUGGESTION
To prevent excessive chain sag, LiftMaster recommends that you add some type of chain support
for gates over 20 feet in length. Please note that chain supports must be located a minimum of ¾”
below the idler sprocket shield and must note exceed ¾” beyond the centerline of the chain.
NOTE ABOUT SOME TYPES OF CANTILEVER GATES
With some cantilever gates over 20 feet long, you may need to add a brace along the length of the
gate to prevent the gate from bowing with chain is tightened. This may also be required on some
styles of gates that are constructed out of aluminum. Note that if positioned properly, this brace
can also be used as a chain support.

25 Adjustments and Check Out
CLUTCH LOCATION
Adjustments and Check Out
Clutch Adjustment
An adjustable friction type clutch is standard on the models
SL580 and SL590. It is important that you properly adjust
the clutch to obtain proper operator performance.
1 Loosen the 3 set screws on the clutch nut.
2 Back off the clutch nut until there is very little tension
on the clutch spring.
3 Tighten the clutch nut gradually until there is just
enough tension to permit the operator to move the
gate, but will allow the clutch to slip if the gate is
obstructed.
When the clutch is properly adjusted, it should
generally be possible to stop the gate by hand
during travel.
4 Re-tighten a set screw on the clutch nut that is
directly over a flat portion of the shaft.
Figure 24
MODEL: SL580
01-G0547F23
CAUTION
The friction clutch is not an automatic reversing device. It
minimizes damage to the gate operator and gate. It can also
limit major vehicle damage, if adjusted properly. This
operator incorporates an internal obstruction sensor system,
but it is highly recommended that external obstruction
sensing devices such as gate edges or photo beams
systems be incorporated into the gate system to aid in the
protection of any possible pedestrian traffic. Periodic
inspection of the clutch system and all internal and external
sensor systems is required to ensure their proper operation.

Preliminary System Check Out
Before adding any options, accessories or adaptations, it is highly recommended that you check out
the system and its programs. If you have not already done so, temporarily connect a three button
station to the operator. Test for proper open, stop and closing of the gate. Test the internal
obstruction sensor system. Test for proper operation of all programs that were programmed into the
system. Once everything checks out okay, then proceed to adding on the accessory items for this job
site.
NOTE: LiftMaster recommends that if more than one accessory item is used, after each one is
attached, check it for proper operation before adding the next.
Important: Make sure that the two (2) gate warning signs are secured to the gate. One on the
inside and one on the outside. They must be easily seen.

27 Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting
When troubleshooting, one of the first things to do is try to isolate the problem area. The four (4) main
areas to check out are:
Power
Accessories
Operator’s Primary Voltage
Operator’s Low Voltage
1. Power
Always use extreme caution! Some possible symptoms of power problems include:
The obvious one is – the operator will not run.
The operator runs slow.
Circuit breakers or fuses keep tripping.
Motor overload keeps tripping.
Operator starts but then stops
1A.
Using a V.O.M. take a voltage reading at the control transformer’s primary terminals. You should
get a reading as follows:
Nominal Volt. Min. Max.
120v. 108 132
230v. 207 253
460v. 414 506
Table 8
If you get a reading that does not fall into the minimum/maximum area, then check out your main
power supply. Also, make sure that the operator was ordered with the proper voltage and phase.
Another item to check is the wire run from the power supply to the operator. Double check the
gauge of the wire versus the distance.
1B.
If the voltage reading is O.K. from 1A, then take the same voltage reading with the operator
running. If voltage drops below the minimum with this reading, then there could be an excessive
current draw somewhere.
1C.
In some cases, power drops can occur at only specific times during the day or night. This can be
caused by increased power demands in a general area at a specific time.
Doc 01-G0547
Rev D
28 Troubleshooting
2. Accessories
Add-on accessories can create many of the problems that are credited to the operator. Many
applications have more than one accessory item attached to the operator and some of these items
even draw their power from the operator.
Some of the symptoms that can show up because of accessories:
The operator won’t close.
The operator won’t open.
The operator will not run.
The operator begins to run then stops or reverses.
2A.
Whenever the problem is thought to be an accessory and there are more than one connected to
the operator, always disconnect one accessory at a time and then test the system. This will
hopefully isolate which item is causing the problem.
2B.
If an accessory item is being used as an access control device (used to open or close), falls in the
closed position or sends out a continuous signal. The operator will hold the gate in one position
until the signal from the accessory is removed.
2C.
In some applications, the gate may begin to move then either stop or stop and reverse within a
couple of seconds. This can be caused by an external obstruction device that has failed.
2D.
If there are many accessories attached to and powered by the operator, there may be too much
current draw for the operator’s control transformer. This operator can only supply approximately 2
amps @ 24 vac. Double check all accessories for their current requirements.
3. Primary Voltage Circuit
Use extreme caution when troubleshooting the primary voltage circuit! There are three (5) items
in this circuit that could be causing trouble, and they are:
Motor
Transformer
Brake solenoid
Contactor
Power disconnect switch
3A.
The first thing to check is the incoming power. Is it there at the incoming side of the power
disconnect switch?
Doc 01-G0547
Rev D
Troubleshooting 29
3B.
If there is power, then check for it at the transformer primary terminals. If there is voltage at the
switch and none at the transformer, then you probably have a bad power disconnect and it should
be replaced.
3C.
If 3A and 3B check out O.K., then manually disconnect the operator from the gate. Very
carefully, using a screwdriver with an insulated handle, press down on the open side of the
contactor. Then, do the same to the close side of the contactor. Then, do the same to the close
side of the contactor. Did the operator run in both directions? If it did, the problem may be in the
low voltage control circuit, if it did not, then the problem is either in the contactor or the motor.
NOTE: Some motors have the overload built into the motor itself, while other units have a
separate overload in the controller.
3D.
If the contactor is suspected to be causing the problem, first carefully check all wiring connections
at the contacts. DISCONNECT POWER! USING A V.O.M. take continuity readings across the
contacts of the contactor. Place one probe on 1 and the other on 2. You should get NO
continuity, now press down on the contactor, you should get a continuity reading. Repeat this on
all the of the contactor’s contact points.
Figure 27
4. Low Voltage Circuit
4A.
The first thing to check is the circuit breaker.
4B.
The secondary voltage must be between 22 and 30 vac. This voltage can be checked at the
circuit board at terminals J1-3 & J1-11.
4C.
The contactor coils receive 24 vac. to activate the motor in either the open or close direction.
There are two contactor coils (one for open and one for close).
4D.
The limit switches are S.P.D.T. (single pole, double throw). These limit switches are what tells the
operator to shut off at either the full open or full close position.
Doc 01-G0547
Rev D
30 Troubleshooting
4E.
The R.P.M. Sensor is counting the r.p.m ‘s of the wheel that is attached to the shaft. There are no
repairable parts for the sensor of wheel. The only thing that should be checked is the wire
harness. Make sure that the wires are crimpled and fully seated into the housing. Also make sure
that the housing is fully seated into the circuit board.
4F.
The circuit board is the “brains” of the entire system. It is a non-repairable item. In many cases,
un-awareness of the different programs and their functions can make it look like there is a
problem when in actuality it is just a missed or wrong program setting. Make sure that all the
connections wires on the “J1” terminal board are installed correctly. There MUST also be a stop
button connected to J1-3 and J1-5.
Gear Reducer
If physical signs show a seal has broken in the gear reducer, it may be necessary to replace
the reducer.
When replacing the gear reducer oil, use Mobil SHC 630 or equivalent. The oil level for the
gear reducer allows gear to be dipped but not submerged in oil.
Do not overfill gear reducer oil reservoir. Reducer oil – Part #04-DUP220HT
General Reference Information
THE GATE
Double check the gate and its related hardware. Does the gate move freely? If it doesn’t, this can
affect the internal obstruction sensor.
WIRING DIAGRAM
Always reference the wiring diagram that was supplied with the operator. Note that some of the
accessory items may have their own wiring diagram.
If you cannot correct the problem or if you feel you will require technical assistance, contact your
local distributor or dealer. If you do not have a distributor or dealer, then contact us for technical
assistance. Please when calling for assistance, make sure you have the gate operator model
number, voltage, phase, horsepower and a list of all accessories that are attached to the operator.
Features and Program Troubleshooting Review
The internal obstruction sensor (r.p.m. sensor) will cause the operator to either stop or reverse if it
senses a slow down in gate speed. A damaged or poorly working gate can trip the sensor and cause
“phantom” reversing or stopping. Also if the operator’s clutch is slipping too much, this can cause the
same situation.

supply.
B. Severe or high cycle usage will require
more frequent maintenance checks.
C. Inspection and service should always be
performed anytime a malfunction is
observed or suspected.

any major drive chain adjustments.
E. If lubrication chain, use only a proper
chain lub spray or a lightweight motor oil.
Never use grease or silicone spray.
F. When servicing, please do some “home
cleaning” of the operator an the area
around the operator. Pick up any debris in
the area. Clean the operator if needed.
G. It is suggested that while you are at the
site, you take some voltage readings of
the operator. Using a VOM, double check
the incoming voltage to the operator to
make sure it is within ten percent of the
operator’s rating.
H. While you are at the site, now would be a
good time to let the owner or manager
know about any new items available or
any safety items that could and should be
added to the site.
