PRE INSTALLATION NOTES
The Allstar HDSLG 1000 Vehicular Gate Operator will provide
convenience and assurance to the ultimate users for many years. It is
ruggedly built of the finest materials and has been thoroughly inspected
and tested at the Allstar factory. It has many features that will aid in the
installation and testing of the complete gate system. The HDSLG has
been evaluated by Underwriters Laboratory, Inc. (UL) and is certified
to comply with UL Standard for Safety 325, as evidenced by the UL
symbol on the name plate.
Because the HDSLG (as well as gate operators sold by other

INSTALLATION PROCEDURES.
manufactures) is designed to start and move gates weighing as much as
1200 pounds, or more,---the HDSLG is capable of producing high
levels of force. It is important in the design of the total gate system that
designers, installers and users be aware of the hazards that may be
associated with the IMPROPER design, installation and use of
vehicular gate systems and gate operators.
The gate operator is only one part of a complete automatic gate
operating system. As each location and usage is different, a properly
designed system will include all applicable safety devices.
As the designer and installer of the GATE SYSTEM, you must
advise the purchaser on the proper use of the gate system. You also
have the primary responsibility of insuring that ALL possible
operational hazards have been considered and eliminated. YOU
MUST ADVISE AND WARN the purchaser and the ultimate user of
ANY HAZARDS
The HDSLG has several features that can help reduce the hazards
of your gate system.
The Allstar HDSLG has a built-in "overload detector" that can help
reduce the hazards of your gate system. This device, however, must not
be considered as the primary obstruction sensing system. Consider all
available options (electric leading edges, photoelectric sensors,
protective screen mesh, etc) to eliminate hazards in your gate system
design.
The HDSLG built-in overload detector will activate if there is an abrupt
that you have not been able to eliminate.

gate. THE OVERLOAD DETECTION POINT IS AN ADJUSTABLE
SETTING THAT MUST BE DETERMINED AT THE TIME OF
INSTALLATION. THIS SETTING MUST BE TESTED
PERIODICALLY TO ENSURE PROPER OPERATION. THE MORE
FREELY THE GATE WILL MOVE THE MORE SENSITIVE THIS
SETTING CAN BE MADE. See Page 17.

The HDSLG has a maximum motor current trip mechanism. If the
motor current is maintained at or near maximum for a period of
approximately two seconds the power will be turned off to the motor.
(This situation could occur if the gate becomes jammed.)
The HDSLG has a Maximum Run Timer. If the gate is activated and
no other command is given or an end limit (open or close) is not
reached in approximately 45 seconds, the operator will be turned off.
(See Page 19)
The HDSLG has an auxiliary “alarm” relay that can be used to give a
WARNING when the gate is opening or closing or if the OVERLOAD
has been activated. TO USE THIS ALARM FEATURE WILL
REQUIRE THAT THE INSTALLER PROVIDE THE ALARM

ALL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS AND
GATE SYSTEM DESIGN PARAMETERS!
GATE SYSTEM DESIGN AND INSTALLATION
SAFETY CHECK LIST:
•
DO NOT locate any device (key switch, switch, key pad, card
reader, etc.) in a position where it may be activated by a person
reaching through the gate or while touching the gate in any
manner.
•
Install all devices that will open or close the gate in such a
manner that THE GATE WILL BE IN FULL VIEW WHEN
THE DEVICE IS OPERATED.
•
SECURELY ATTACH THE WARNING SIGNS provided with
the HDSLG on the gate (one on the outside and one on the inside)
where they can be seen by persons in the area of the gate to alert
them of automatic gate operation. (If the user refuses to have the
warning signs installed, Allstar recommends you note this on
your records and have the user sign a disclaimer.) See Figure 2.

Figure 3
•
CANTILEVERED ROLLER GATES WITH OPEN ROLLERS
HAVE THE POTENTIAL HAZARD OF HANDS AND
FINGERS BEING PINCHED between the open roller and the
pole that the roller rides upon. PROTECT THIS "PINCH
POINT" SO THIS HAZARD IS AVERTED. See Figure 4.
Figure 2
•
FOR INSTALLATIONS WHERE IT IS LIKELY CHILDREN
WILL BE PRESENT NEAR THE AUTOMATIC GATE,
PLACE A WARNING SIGN SPECIFICALLY DIRECTED TO
PARENTS AND VISITORS TO KEEP CHILDREN AWAY
FROM THE GATE AND NOT ALLOW CHILDREN TO PLAY
ON THE GATE. (If the user refuses to have the sign installed,
Allstar recommends you note this on your records and have the
user sign a disclaimer.) See Figure 2.
•
For ORNAMENTAL “GRILL TYPE” GATES, injuries may occur
when people put arms through the openings or children “ride” the gate
by standing on the chain and holding on to the gate. THIS
POTENTIAL HAZARD CAN BE MINIMIZED BY INSTALLING
A MESH SCREEN ON THE GATE. See Figure 3.
•
The HDSLG 1000 is a VEHICULAR GATE OPERATOR and as
such is NOT RECOMMENDED FOR PEDESTRIAN traffic. In
installations where pedestrians are likely to be nearby, install a
pedestrian gate and use leading edge detectors and/or photocells
in your design to protect system entrapment zones. Allstar can
provide these products for incorporation in your gate installation.
104880
•
CONSIDER ALL OTHER "PINCH POINTS" IN YOUR
DESIGN of the gate system, such as the “pocket” of a sliding
gate. Use protective measures to reduce hazards at these
locations. See Figure 4.
•
When using the “timer to close” option of the HDSLG, install
VEHICLE DETECTOR LOOPS, VEHICLE DETECTORS,
REVERSING EDGE SYSTEMS AND/OR PHOTOCELLS.
Read the manual for information on the installation of these
devices. IF VEHICLE DETECTOR LOOPS HAVE BEEN
INSTALLED TO PREVENT THE GATE FROM CLOSING ON
A VEHICLE, INSTRUCT THE USER TO PERIODICALLY
CHECK THE OPERATION OF THE DETECTORS.
•
Outdoor or easily accessible controls must be of the security type
to prevent unauthorized use of the system.
•
Make sure the gate operating system is placed far enough back
from the road to eliminate traffic backup. The distance from the
road, size of the gate, usage level and gate cycle/speed must be
taken into consideration to eliminate potential hazards.
•
Check the operator manufacturer’s specification to ensure the
operator is proper for the cycles per hour, size and type of gate.
•
USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN WORKING NEAR BELTS
AND PULLEYS when the operator cover is removed. Apply
power to the operator only when instructed to do so.
•
Before activating the "timer to close" option of the operator,
ENSURE THE PERSONAL ENTRAPMENT DEVICES

•
DO NOT INSTALL THE OPERATOR UNTIL ALL GATE
PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN CORRECTED.
•
DO NOT consider the built in overload detector as the primary
obstruction sensing system. Consider all options in the gate
system design.
•
DO NOT connect any auxiliary equipment to the operator
(detectors, card readers, etc.) until the gate operator and all its
functions are fully tested. Only connect one device at a time and
ensure its proper function(s) before moving on to the next device.
•
Install the operator on the inside of the property/fence line. DO
NOT install an operator on the public side of the fence line or
gate.
•
IDENTIFY THE ENTRAPMENT ZONES AND PINCH POINT
AREAS PER FIGURE 4. Design the gate installation to
minimize the risk of entrapment in these areas. Install additional
safety equipment such as four wire edges and photocells to
further minimize risk. All entrapment zones are required to be
protected.
AS THE INSTALLER YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR:
• ASSURING THAT THE OWNER/END USER OF THE
SYSTEM UNDERSTANDS ITS BASIC OPERATION AND
SAFETY FEATURES. IN PARTICULAR, BE SURE THE
OWNER/END USER UNDERSTANDS THE LOCATION AND
OPERATION OF A MANUAL DISCONNECT (WHERE
PROVIDED) OR HOW TO OPERATE THE GATE
MANUALLY.
• POINTING OUT TO THE OWNER/END USER OF THE
GATE SYSTEM THAT CHILDREN OR PETS ARE NOT
ALLOWED TO PLAY ON OR NEAR THE GATE, FENCE OR
ANY PART OF THE SYSTEM, AND THAT THE SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS SUPPLIED WITH THIS OPERATOR AND
THEIR IMPLEMENTATION ARE THE RESPONSIBILITY
OF THE OWNER/END USER.
• LEAVING THE INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE
MANUAL FOR THIS OPERATOR AS WELL AS ANY
ADDITIONAL SAFETY INFORMATION SUPPLIED WITH
THIS OPERATOR OR OTHER COMPONENTS OF THE
GATE SYSTEM WITH THE OWNER/END USER.
• NOT PLACING IN SERVICE THIS OPERATOR IF YOU
HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THE
GATE OPERATING SYSTEM. CONSULT THE OPERATOR
MANUFACTURER.
SLIDE GATE ENTRAPMENT PROTECTION
Use the illustration at left to minimize the risk of injury in your design
of the swing gate operator system.
Entrapment Zones: Design in personal entrapment protection devices
to protect people from entrapment in the zones shown. Install vertical
posts with gate edges attached on both sides of the gate to prevent body
entrapment. Gate edges should be wired to stop the gate upon contact.
Pinch Points: Attach roller guards in cantilevered gate systems to
minimize the risk of hands being caught between the top of the gate and
the roller.

: PREPARING THE SITE
B
THE CONCRETE OPERATOR PAD
Installation requires the presence of a suitable concrete pad as a base for
the operator. The dimensions of this pad should be sufficient to allow
at least 6" of clearance from each edge of the pad to the nearest
operator mounting hole. The top of the pad should be 3" above grade to
raise the operator above any standing water, while the depth of the pad
below grade is dependent on the weight and size of the gate and the soil
conditions at the site of the installation. THE SITE FOR THE
OPERATOR SHOULD BE CHOSEN WITH AT LEAST 5" OF
CLEARANCE ABOVE THE TOP OF THE UNIT.
If a suitable concrete base already exists for mounting the operator it
will be necessary only to drill mounting holes. 3/4" mounting holes are
located on each side of the operator. Four redhead bolts, 3/8" or 1/2" in
diameter, should be used for mounting the operator. The bolt pattern is
10" wide by 16-3/4" long. The two rear bolts, (closest to the gate),
should be no closer than 3-5/8" from the near side of the gate to allow
sufficient clearance for the operator's cover.

ELECTRICAL POWER REQUIREMENTS
NOTE: Before connecting the operator, use a voltmeter to insure
that the electrical service is 115 VAC. Connection to 220 VAC
service is the most common cause of board failure in new
104881
Figure 5: Pad Configuration
If no suitable concrete base exists, a pad must be poured. See Figures 5
and 6 for plans for this pad. Consult local building codes for depth of
base. Typical depths range from 24 to 36 inches. In either case, if
vehicles are going to be operated in the vicinity of the operator,
consider installation of protection posts in front of the operator.

The operator requires a 3-wire (Hot, Common, Ground), 115 VAC,
electrical circuit with a 15 Amp breaker for proper operation. In
installations with more than one operator, each operator must have a
separate service from the breaker panel. Powering multiple operators
from the same service can result in having to "de-sensitize" the
