CLASS I – RESIDENTIAL VEHICULAR GATE OPERATOR

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

CLASS II – COMMERCIAL/GENERAL ACCESS VEHICULAR GATE OPERATOR

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, garage, retail store or other building servicing the general public.

CLASS III – INDUSTRIAL/LIMITED ACCESS VEHICULAR GATE OPERATOR

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 location not intended to service the general public.

CLASS IV – RESTRICTED ACCESS VEHICULAR GATE OPERATOR

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.

SAFETY ACCESSORY SELECTION

All UL325 compliant LiftMaster gate operators will accept external entrapment protection devices to protect people from motorized gate systems. UL325 requires that the type of entrapment protection correctly matches each gate application. Below are the six types of entrapment protection systems recognized by UL325 for use on this operator.

ENTRAPMENT PROTECTION TYPES

Type A: Inherent obstruction sensing system, self-contained within the operator. This system must sense and initiate the reverse of the gate within two seconds of contact with a solid object.

Type B1: Connections provided for a non-contact device, such as a photoelectric eye can be used as a secondary protection.

Type B2: Connections provided for a contact sensor. A contact device such as a gate edge can be used for secondary protection.

Type C: Inherent adjustable clutch or pressure relief valve.

Type D: Connections provided for a control requiring continuous pressure to operate the operator open and close.

Type E: Built-in audio alarm. Examples include sirens, horns or buzzers.

NOTE: UL requires that all installations must have warning signs placed in plain view on both sides of the gate to warn pedestrians of the dangers of motorized gate systems.

Moving Gate Can Cause

Injury or Death

KEEP CLEAR! Gate may move at any time without prior warning.

Do not let children operate the gate or play in the gate area.

This entrance is for vehicles only. Pedestrians must use separate entrance

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR OPEN ROLLER GATES

WARNING

•Injuries occur when people get their hands or feet caught between the top or bottom of the gate and the gate roller. These potential pinch-points 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.

•UL325 requires that, when used, contact sensors shall be located at the leading edge, trailing edge, and be post mounted both inside and outside of a vehicular horizontal slide gate. Non-contact sensors such as photo eyes must protect during both open and close gate cycles.

•Injuries occur when people put their hands and arms through openings in the grill while the gate is operating. 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' (1.2 m) screen mesh on the gate to prevent access through openings anywhere the gate may travel. See Safety Brochure for details. To prevent entrapment injuries, mount controls at least 6' (1.8 m) from the gate or any moving parts of the gate.

WARNING

NOT FOR USE AS PEDESTRIAN PASSAGE! This operator is intended for vehicular use only. To prevent INJURY to pedestrians, a separate pedestrian access should be supplied, visible from the gate. Locate the pedestrian access where there is not a chance of INJURY at any point during full movement of the gate.

Moving Gate Can Cause

Injury or Death

KEEP CLEAR! Gate may move at any time without prior warning.

Do not let children operate the gate or play in the gate area.

This entrance is for vehicles only. Pedestrians must use separate entrance

PAD MOUNTING (SL585 ONLY)

RETRO-FIT INSTALLATION

The operator is shipped from the factory with the lower mounting angles configured out (Figure 1). If you have pad constrictions, either angle can be unbolted and reversed to ‘angle in’.

NOTE: If you are replacing an SL580 and wish to use the same pad mounting hardware, the gate side mounting angle must be installed angle in.

NEW INSTALLATION

CONCRETE PAD PREPARATION:

1.Lay out concrete pad. (Figure 2).

2.Locate electrical conduit, as required, prior to pouring concrete.

3.Pour concrete pad.

4.Secure operator (Figure 3) to the concrete pad using four 1/2" (1.3 cm) concrete anchors (not provided).

POST MOUNTING (SL585 AND SL595)

RETRO-FIT INSTALLATION

The operators come from the factory configured to mount to an inside the frame post mount dimension of 26" (outside to outside of posts). The frame comes slotted to accommodate posts 24 1/8" to 26", outside to outside (Figure 1).

NOTE: If you are replacing a SL580, the frame will require adjustment to 24 1/8".

NEW INSTALLATION (FIGURES 2 AND 3)

1.Locate and anchor two posts made of 3" (7.6 cm) outer diameter heavy walled pipe. Posts should be parallel and square to the gate.

2.Locate electrical conduit, as required, prior to pouring concrete.

3.Secure operator to posts using four 3" (7.6 cm) U-bolts and hardware provided.

INSTALL GATE BRACKET AND DRIVE CHAIN

CAUTION

To prevent damage to the operator or gate, DO NOT drive the limit (nuts) actuators on the shaft past their normal positions.

1.Mount gate brackets to the vertical front and rear posts of the gate (Figure 1).

2.Remove the operator cover or open access door.

3.Locate and engage the manual disconnect and lock it in place (refer to page 12).

4.Connect chain take-up bolt to the end of the chain and attach to the rear gate bracket (Figure 2).

5.Ensure that the drive and idler sprockets are in line with each other. Thread the chain through the plastic chain guide, around drive and idler sprockets, and then through the second plastic chain guide toward front gate bracket (Figure 3).

6.Adjust the chain to proper length and attach second take-up bolt to chain end. Secure the take-up bolt to the front gate bracket as shown.

Adjust nuts on chain take-up bolts to remove chain slack. A general rule of thumb is to leave a maximum of 1" (2.5 cm) of chain slack for every 10' (3.1 m) of chain length.

Do not overtighten chain.

NOTE ABOUT SOME TYPES OF CANTILEVER GATES:

With some cantilever gates over 20' (6.1 m) long, you may need to add a brace along the length of the gate to prevent the gate from bowing when chain is tightened. This may also be required on some styles of gates that are constructed out of aluminum. If positioned properly, this brace can also be used as a chain support.
