IMPORTANT!
READ ME FIRST
The SLMAX and SW2200 Gate Operators come pre-programmed with default
settings. When first installed, you will not need to program each feature. In
fact, you may want to review the system’s default settings (see Factory Default
Settings, p. 13) before you start programming. You may or may not want different
settings than those already defined.

Programming the Single Button Functions
FACTORY DEFAULT: OPENING = STOP, NO TIMER RESET
CLOSING = (None—button has no effect)
MID-STOP = MID -STOP OPEN
The Single Button (connected at the J8 input connector) programming feature allows
you to configure the single button function (i.e., how the gate reacts after you press the
single button). You may program the single button function to perform the actions
outlined in Table 2.
NOTE: There is no factory default setting when the gate is “CLOSING”. When
the gate closes, the single button will have no effect. However, you may
program the “STOP” or “REVERSE” options (see below).
Selectable options include the following:

Setting the Gate Open/Close Limits
NO FACTORY DEFAULT SETTING
This feature allows you to set the gate’s open or close limits without utilizing limit
switches. You are essentially setting the operator so it knows how far to open and
close its gate.
NOTE: After a power outage or operator gate disengagement, the operator will
retain its limit settings.
Also, to stop the gate while setting the limits, release the (+) or (-) buttons.
Press these buttons to correct any over-travel.
To set the Gate Open/Close Limits, follow these steps:
PROCEDURES DISPLAY PROMPT
1 Pressing the MENU buttons (!"), locate the LIMITS
MENU option and press ENTER.
2 At the RESET LIMITS (+) prompt, press (+) to start
programming.
3 Press (+) to continue programming. (+) TO CONTINUE
4 Press and hold (+) or (–) to close the gate. SET CLOSE LIMIT
5 When the gate reaches the desired closed limit position,
release (+) or (-) and press ENTER.
The Close Limit LED will blink to indicate that the close
limit position is accepted but not yet stored in the
memory.
6 Press and hold (+) or (–) to open the gate. SET OPEN LIMIT
7 When the gate reaches the desired open limit position,
release (+) and (-) and press ENTER.
The Open Limit LED will blink to indicate that the open
limit position is accepted but not yet stored in the

Setting the Gate Operator Speed
This feature allows you to change the speed of the gate. Please note that max speed
(normal gate speed) and min speed (decelerated gate speed) have their own minimum
and maximum range.
For the SW2200, Table 4 provides speed settings based on the total amount of time it
takes the gate to fully open or close.
Refer to Table 3 and Table 4 to select proper gate speeds for the SLMAX and SW2200:

This feature allows you to program the desired loop function using the J4 inputs (A, B,
and C). Before setting the loop detector, check which loop types are connected to the
J4 inputs.
EXAMPLE: Input A may be connected to an Open Loop Detector. If so, set
Input A on J4 to Open Loop.
Loop types include:
Open Loops
Safety Loops
Shadow Loops (may be used in swing gate systems—not slide gates).
To set the Loop Detectors, follow these steps:

Setting the Electric Lock Delay
FACTORY SETTING = OFF
All gates installed with a maglock (connected to the JP6 connector/input) may have the
electric lock delay function programmed into the system. This delays the gate from
opening for a programmed number of seconds (1-10) when the operator is prompted to
open. After the delay, the operator will de-energize the maglock (allowing the gate to
unlock) and open the gate.
To set the Electric Lock Delay, follow these steps:

1 Pressing the MENU buttons (!"), locate the
ELECTRIC LOCK option and press ENTER.

Factory Default Settings
The SLMAX and SW2200 come programmed with factory default settings so that you
won’t have to program each step when an operator is first installed. If the operator has
been installed recently, review the factory default settings (Table 5) and decide which
settings you’d like to change.
You may also reset the existing settings to their default parameters. To do this, follow
the steps below:
