Always Check the Gate’s Action
It’s very important before installing the gate operator to make sure the gate’s slides free and level throughout the entire opening distance. If the gate does not seem to operate properly, it may affect the operator performance or greatly shorten the life of the unit. The gate should also be designed so that airfl ow is ample to prevent wind resistance and drag.
Gate Operator Classifi cations
All gate operators can be divided into one of four different classifi cations, depending on their design and usage. Install this gate operator only when the operator is appropriate for the construction and usage class as defi ned below:

Regulatory Warnings
Read the following before beginning to install this slide gate operator:
IMPORTANT INSTALLATION SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH TO PERSONS, REVIEW THESE INSTALLATION SAFETY
STEPS BEFORE PROCEEDING
1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS.
2. Read the yellow “Safety Instructions” brochure enclosed with the
packet of information. If any pages are missing or are unreadable,
or you do not have the safety instructions, please call Linear at
1-800-421-1587 to request additional copies.
3. ALL ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS TO THE POWER SUPPLY MUST
BE MADE BY A LICENSED ELECTRICIAN AND MUST OBSERVE ALL
NATIONAL AND LOCAL ELECTRICAL CODES.
4. A separate power-disconnect switch should be located near the
operator so that primary power can be turned off when necessary.
5. Install the enclosed warning signs on both sides of the gate. A
minimum of two (2) WARNING SIGNS shall be installed, one on each
side of the gate where easily visible.
6. Never reach between, through or around the fence to operate the
gate.
7. Never connect a button station within reach of the gate or on the
side of the gate operator.
8. Do not adjust the operator controller’s current sensing feature too
high. It should be adjusted high enough to keep the gate from falsely
triggering the sensing, but no higher than necessary for the gate to
operate. DO NOT DEFEAT THE PURPOSE OF THIS FUNCTION!
9. You must install all required safety equipment.
10. UL325 Compliance requires the use of contact edges or photoelectric
controls on all automatic or remotely-controlled gate operators.
11. The operator is intended for installation only on gates used for
vehicles. Pedestrians must be supplied with a separate access
opening. The pedestrian access opening shall be designed to
promote pedestrian usage. Locate the gate such that persons will
not come into contact with the vehicular gate during the entire path
of travel of the vehicular gate.
Wiring Specifi cations
Refer to the following steps for details on power and accessory wiring for the operator.
WARNING
ALL AC ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS TO THE POWER SOURCE AND THE OPERATOR MUST BE MADE BY A LICENSED ELECTRICIAN AND MUST OBSERVE ALL NATIONAL AND LOCAL ELECTRICAL CODES.
USE COPPER WIRE ONLY!
AC Power Wiring
1. Find the listing on this page corresponding to the model, voltage and horsepower rating of your operator.
2. The distance shown in the table is measured in feet from the operator to the power source. DO NOT EXCEED THE MAXIMUM DISTANCE. These calculations have been based on standard 115 V and 230 V supplies with a 10% drop allowable. If your supply is under the standard rating, the runs listed may be longer than what your application will handle, and you should not run wire too near the maximum distance for the gauge of wire you are using.
3. When large-gauge wire is used, a separate junction box (not supplied) may be needed for the operator power connection.
4. Wire length calculations are based on the National Electrical Code, Article 430 and have been carefully determined based on motor inrush, brake solenoids, and operator requirements.
5. Connect power in accordance with local codes. The green ground wire must be properly connected.
6. Wire insulation must be suitable to the application.
7. Electrical outlets are supplied in all 115 VAC models for convenience with occasional use or low power consumption devices only. If you choose to run dedicated equipment from these devices, it will decrease the distance for maximum length and the charts will no longer be accurate.
DC Control and Accessory Wiring
1. All control devices are now 24 VDC, which can be run up to 2000 feet with 14 AWG wire.
2. Control wiring must be run in a separate conduit from power wiring. Running them together may cause interference and faulty signals in some accessories.
3. A three-wire shielded conductor cable is required to connect two operators together for dual operation. You must use Belden 8760 Twisted Pair Shielded Cable (or equivalent) only – P/N 2500-1982, per foot). See Page 25 for details of this connection. Note: The shield
wire should be connected in both the operators.

Gate Bracket and Chain Assembly
NOTE: The item numbers shown in these illustrations
are for reference only. For the actual part numbers, refer to the parts lists in the rear of this manual.
Assemble a gate bracket (1) to the front edge of the gate, using two U-bolts (2), and mounting hardware (3). Before tightening down completely, be sure the bracket is parallel to the gate. Tighten the U-bolt hardware the rest of the way, then screw the square head bolts (4) into the threaded holes in the gate plate until they bottom out against the gate. These will help keep the bracket from twisting on the pipe.
Slide a threaded chain pin (5) through the bracket as shown, with spring (6), fl at washer (10), and two hex nuts (7). Attach one end of the drive chain (8) to the chain pin using master link (9) and begin unrolling the chain toward the operator. An optional Tail Mount confi guration is shown in Figure 4B.
Remove the rain cover from the back of the slide gate operator. Carefully thread the drive chain under the fi rst idler, over the drive sprocket, and then under the last idler. Make sure you feed most of the chain through the idlers and sprocket before attaching the chain to the back end of the gate.
Assemble the other gate bracket on the rear edge of the gate, using the same process as the front gate bracket. Once this is done, take the other chain pin, spring and jam nuts and assemble with the end of drive chain and the other master link.
At this point you should be able to adjust the chain tension by tightening the jam nuts on each end. Approximately 1/4” to 3/8” of slack per foot of drive chain is acceptable. Make sure the chain does not drag on the ground, across the gate rollers or the idler frame of the operator.
Additional mounting holes have been provided in the gate bracket for installer convenience.

Operator Preparation
Vent Plug Installation
In order to keep gear oil from spilling out during shipping, gear reducers used in this gate operator has either a solid plug, or a sealed vent plug, installed at the factory.
For operators with a solid plug, replace the solid plug with the vent plug provided (see Figure 5).
With the vent plug installed, remove the vent plug’s breather pin to allow the gear box to vent (see Figure 5).
Operator Setup
Controller Access
The Controller is protected by a plastic dust cover. To remove the dust cover, loosen the cover’s wing-screw and lift the cover off (see Figure 6).

ALL AC ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS TO THE POWER SOURCE AND THE OPERATOR MUST BE MADE BY A LICENSED ELECTRICIAN AND MUST OBSERVE ALL NATIONAL AND LOCAL ELECTRICAL CODES
AC Power Connection
All Linear gate operators are supplied with a power disconnect switch to turn on and off the power available to the operator (see Figure 7). Following wiring specifi cations on Page 2, incoming power should be brought into the operator and connected to the labeled pigtails from the disconnect box. A wiring connections print can also be found on the label inside the cover of the operator.
NOTE: FOR SOLAR POWERED UNITS ONLY: The
APeX Controller’s AC power disconnect switch does not turn off the Apex DC power when connected to solar panels. It will however, disconnect DC motor power. Unplug the solar panel input on the front of the Apex Controller prior to servicing the unit.
Proper thermal protection is supplied with the operator. The motor contains a thermal overload protector to guard from overheating the motor due to overload or high-frequency operation. This overload protector will reset automatically after the motor cools down.
Earth Ground
Install a ground rod and connect it to the operator’s frame in every gate operator installation. A good earth ground is necessary to allow the Controller’s built-in surge and lightning protection circuitry to work effectively. The physical bolting of the operator to the mounting pad is not suffi cient for a good earth ground.
NOTE: Do not splice the ground wire. Use a single piece of solid
copper 12 AWG wire between the ground rod and the operator.
1. Install an 8-foot long copper ground rod next to the operator mounting pad within three feet of the operator.
2. Use a clamp to connect a solid copper 12 AWG ground wire to the ground rod.
3. Route the ground wire to the operator.
4. Connect the ground wire to the operator’s frame.

Limit Nuts Rough Adjustment
The limit nuts are not preset at the factory and must be adjusted for the length of the gate in each installation. The limit switches are activated by two threaded nylon rotary limit nuts which are attached to a threaded limit shaft driven by a chain and sprockets from the main drive shaft (see Figure 8). REMOVE THE CARDBOARD FILLER BEFORE
ADJUSTING THE LIMIT NUTS.
The Controller is factory set for right hand installations. The left limit nut is for OPEN and the right limit nut is for CLOSE. The limit nuts fl ip their defi nition in left hand installations. (see left-right hand programming on Page 11).
1. With the gate connected to the gate operator in a mid-travel position, the power disconnect switch turned OFF, disconnect the operator by using the manual disconnect lever, once the operator has been disconnected, manually move the gate by hand to within a foot of its fully open position (the foot of distance is necessary to allow for coasting of the operator after the limit switch is tripped).
2. Once the gate is in this position, adjust the OPEN limit nut until it activates the limit switch for open. Press down the detent plate and rotate the nut along the threaded shaft (see Figure 9).
3. After setting the open limit, move the gate to one foot from fully closed and repeat the process for the CLOSE limit nut (see Figure 9).

After fi nishing the rough limit nut adjustments, reposition the gate to approximately the center of travel.
CAUTION
If the operator is installed in a left-hand installation. Set the Controller to left-hand operation BEFORE running the operator for the fi ne setting of the limit nuts. Failure to do so will result in over-shooting the limit switches, and can cause damage to the operator and/or gate. Refer to programming on Page 11.
1. Re-engage the operator using the disconnect handle.
2. Turn the power disconnect switch ON.
3. Stand clear of any moving parts and press the OPEN button.
4. After the gate opens, press the CLOSE button.
5. Observe the gate in both directions as it runs through each complete cycle. Adjust the open or close limit nuts again if necessary. Fine levels of adjustment can be made by adjusting a few teeth on the nut at a time. If the gate stops during travel, you may need to adjust the Open or Close Current Setting or the Maximum Run Timer (see Pages 12-13).

Basic Controller Programming
Programming Overview
The Controller can be programmed with various options for the operator. The programming fi elds are defi ned as “functions” that have “options”. To make setup easier for the installer, the Controller’s programming is divided into two groups: basic and advanced. The basic programming group contains the functions commonly used in most slide gate installations. The advanced programming group contains functions less commonly used (i.e. dual gate stagger delay, maximum run timer, etc.).
Entering Programming Mode
Enter programming mode by pressing the UP and DOWN buttons together for one second. While in programming mode the PROGRAM indicator will light.
Exiting Programming Mode
Exit programming mode at any time by pressing the UP and DOWN buttons together. The Controller will automatically exit programming mode after three minutes of inactivity.
Programming Keystrokes
(Typical Programming Method)
While in programming mode, press the UP or DOWN buttons to scroll through the programming functions. When the desired function is displayed press the ENTER button to display the currently set option for the function. When an option is displayed, the decimal points are lit.
To change the option, press and hold the ENTER button for 1 second. To indicate that an option is ready to be changed, the display will fl ash. While the display is fl ashing, press the UP or DOWN button to display the other options available for that function.
When the desired option is displayed, press the ENTER button to store it into memory. To select another function, press ENTER, UP, or DOWN.
Left or Right Hand Operation
The factory default is for right hand operation (operator on right side of the driveway when viewed from the inside of the gate). For left hand installations, program the Controller for left hand operation.
Dual Gate Enable
The factory default is for single gate operation. For dual gate operation, wire the two gate controllers together through the COMM LINK terminals (see Page 25) and enable dual gate operation with this programming step.
NOTE: The Mid-travel Stop feature is disabled when dual gate
operation is enabled for paired units.
Auto Close Timer
The factory default turns off the Auto Close Timer. The timer can be set from 1 to 59 seconds and from 1 to 9 minutes. When the Auto Close Timer is set, after opening, the gate will wait for the length of the Auto Close Timer then close automatically.

Basic Controller Programming (Cont.)
Run Alarm and Pre-start Alarm
The factory default is Run Alarm on and a 3-second Pre-start Alarm. The operator’s beeper will sound 3 seconds before the operator starts. The options are:
• Run Alarm Off and Pre-start Alarm Off
• Run Alarm On and Pre-start Alarm Off
• Run Alarm On and Pre-start Alarm On for 1-9 Seconds
Maximum Open Direction Current Setting
To detect obstacles or mechanical problems with the gate, the operator monitors its motor current. If the open current load exceeds the programmed maximum load range number, the operator will stop, reverse a short distance, then stop again. The Auto Close Timer will be disabled, and another open request will be required to start the operator again. If after restart, the overload or an open obstacle happens again before the open limit is reached, the operator will lockout and sound the alarm.
To measure the motor load used during opening, while this function is being displayed, push and hold the OPEN button to fully open the gate. During movement, the motor current will be displayed as a load number from 0 to 99. This number is useful for troubleshooting but not for setting the motor current. At the end of travel, a different number will fl ash. This number indicates the range above and below the average motor current during the run. Using the + and - buttons, set the programmed range number so that a minimal force (50-75 lbs.) will activate a reversal should an obstruction occur, but high enough to keep the gate moving under normal conditions without interruption.

Maximum Close Direction Current Setting
To detect obstacles or mechanical problems with the gate, the operator monitors its motor current. If the close current load exceeds the programmed maximum load range number, the operator will stop, reverse, and travel to the full open position. Should a open obstruction input or an open direction inherent entrapment condition occur prior to the gate reaching the open limit, the operator will lockout and sound the continuous tone alarm. Another close request will be required to start the operator again. If after restart, the overload or a close obstacle happens again before the close limit is reached, the operator will lockout and sound the alarm. If the auto close timer is set, when the close obstruction input is cleared, the gate will close when the auto close timer expires.
To measure the motor load used during closing, while this function is being displayed, push and hold the CLOSE button to close the gate. During movement, the motor current will be displayed as a load number from 0 to 99. This number is useful for troubleshooting but not used for setting the motor current.

Advanced Controller Programming
Entering Advanced Programming Mode
To access and program the Advanced Programming functions, for each programming session, Advanced Programming must be enabled.
After exiting programming, the Advanced Programming functions will be available on the programming display during the next programming session unless the operator has run 50 or more cycles. After that, Advanced Programming must be enabled again.
Maximum Run Time
The factory default for the Maximum Run Time (MRT) is 99 seconds. When the operator starts, a timer will begin counting. If a open or close limit is not reached or an obstacle or reversing input is not received before the timer expires, the operator will stop, the unit locks out and the alarm sounds. The timer can be set for 10 to 99 seconds, but should be left at 99 in most applications. Setting it too close to the actual run time may cause the time to expire with changing ambient temperature, gate conditions, etc…
If AC is present and an open or close limit is not reached or an obstacle or reversing input is not received before this timer exceeds MRT, the operator will stop, the unit locks out and the alarm sounds.
In the case that AC is not present and MRT expires, it will be ignored as long as the actual run time is under 99 seconds. When the gate reached full open or full close position, MRT will be interpreted as fail safe/secure. EN05 will occur. If FS as set to fail safe, the gate will open. If FS is set to fail secure, the gate will close. However, if the actual run time is higher than 99, it will be interpreted as a physical mechanical problem, EN01 will occur and the gate will stop immediately.

Single Button Input Setup
This function is used for selecting the operation for single button controls and radio receivers.
The factory default sets the SINGLE input terminal so successive inputs will cycle the operator in OPEN-STOP-CLOSE-STOP order.
Alternately, the SINGLE input can be set to cause the gate to OPEN unless the gate is fully open. If the gate is fully open, the input will cause the gate to CLOSE.
Stagger Mode (Rarely used in slide gate installations)
This function is used in dual gate installations only. The factory default sets the Stagger Mode to OFF. In dual gate installations the two operators communicate through the 3-wire COMM LINK interface. When using the Stagger Mode, set one operator for delayed opening and the other operator for delayed closing. The Stagger Delay Time programming function (see below) sets the length of the delay.

Stagger Delay Time (Rarely used in slide gate installations)
This function is used in dual gate installations only. The factory default sets the Stagger Time to 0 seconds (OFF). The Stagger Time sets the delay for the Stagger Mode. The Stagger Time can be set from 1-99 seconds.
NOTE: This function will only be displayed if dual gate operation is
selected.
This should be left at 99 seconds in most instances. Setting it close to the actual run time may cause the timer to expire with changing temperature, gate conditions, etc…
Auxiliary Relay Mode
The Auxiliary Relay has normally open and normally closed contacts. The factory setting disables the Auxiliary Relay. The relay can be set for:
• Maglock: To deactivate a magnetic or solenoid gate lock, the relay will energize during any pending or actual gate motion (open only).
• M4: To deactivate a magnetic or solenoid gate lock, the relay will energize during any pending or actual gate motion (open only). 3 seconds after the gate starts to move, the relay will de-energize. This option is used for higher current solenoid locks.
• Ticket Dispenser: The relay will energize while the gate is moving in the open direction and at the full open limit, or in an entrapment condition.
• Strobe: To activate a warning strobe light, the relay will energize during any pending or actual gate motion (either open or close).
• Alarm: The relay will energize if the gate is manually forced open from the full closed position.

The factory default sets the Reverse Delay to 1 second. The operator will wait the length of the delay before reversing direction. This feature will not change the reversal time when the operator is responding to an entrapment condition from an obstruction input or inherent entrapment protection sensor. The Reverse Delay can be set from 1 to 9 seconds. Heaver gates require a longer delay to allow time for the gate to stop.

Shadow Loop Open Prevention
If the shadow loop is triggered, it always prevents the gate from closing if the Auto Close Timer activates or a CLOSE command is given while the gate is at the full open position.
The controller can also be set to prevent the gate from opening if the shadow loop is triggered while the gate is at the close limit position. This prevents a swing gate from opening into a vehicle if it’s parked near the gate on the inside.
Low Power Mode
This function is only used with DC slide gate Model SLD. The factory default disables the Low Power Mode. When Low Power Mode is enabled, and AC power fails, the controller will assume Low Power Mode after 60 seconds of gate inactivity. Low power mode turns off all accessory power and indicators. Only inputs from the radio receiver, reverse loop, open loop (optional by programming), fi re department input, or restoring AC power will wake the Controller from Low Power Mode. Programming Mode can still be accessed while the Controller is awake in Low Power Mode.
NOTE: This function will only be displayed in Model SLD operators.
Power Failure Mode
This function is only used with DC slide gate Model SLD. The factory default is set for Fail Safe, alternately the Controller can be set for Fail Secure, Open Immediate, or Close Immediate.
• Fail Safe: If the AC power fails and the battery voltage drops below approximately 22 Volts, 5 seconds later the operator will cycle open if not already open. When AC power is restored, or the battery gets charged by solar panels, the operator will resume normal operation and auto-close if programmed to do so.
• Fail Secure: If the AC power fails and the battery voltage drops below approximately 22 Volts, 5 seconds later the operator will cycle closed if not already closed. When AC power is restored, or the battery gets charged by solar panels, the operator will resume normal operation.
NOTE: Fail Safe and Fail Secure are disabled if Stagger Mode is
enabled.
• Open Immediate: If the AC power fails, the operator will cycle open if not already open and cease operation. When AC power is restored, the operator will resume normal operation and auto-close if programmed to do so.
• Close Immediate: If the AC power fails, the operator will cycle closed if not already closed and cease operation. When AC power is restored, the operator will resume normal operation.
NOTE: This function will only be displayed in Model SLD operators.

Soft Start/Stop Duration
This function is only used with DC slide gate Model SLD. This function causes the operator to start and stop the DC motor slowly reducing gate wear and tear (at the full open or closed positions only). The factory default sets the Soft Start/Stop Duration to 3 seconds. The Soft Start/Stop Duration can be set from 1 to 10 seconds.
NOTE: Changing the Soft Start/Stop Duration will reset the open and
close current setting value to zero. It will be necessary to reprogram maximum open and close current settings.
NOTE: This function will only be displayed in Model SLD operators
set for DC motor operation with soft start motor selection.
Reset Cycle Count
The Controller counts of the number of times the operator has been cycled full open and close. The cycle count can be displayed. The display will scroll the cycle count number, fl ashing two digits at a time from left to right.
To reset the Cycle Count, press and hold the ENTER button for 2 seconds while the Cycle Count is displayed.
If the Maintenance Alert has been triggered, resetting the Cycle Count will also reset the Maintenance Alert indicator.
Maintenance Alert Trigger
The Controller has a MAINT ALERT indicator that can be programmed to light when the number of activations exceeds a set number of cycles.
The factory default sets the Maintenance Alert Trigger to 10,000 cycles. The Maintenance Alert Trigger can be programmed for 5, 10, 15, or 25 thousand cycles.
The Maintenance Cycle Count can be reset independently from the operator’s absolute Cycle Count.

Advanced Controller Programming (Cont.)
Mid-travel Stop Position
The Controller can be programmed so the gate will stop at a mid-travel point instead of fully opening. This can be useful in installations where a large gate, that takes a long time to open and close fully, only needs to be opened partway to allow traffi c to pass.
The factory default sets the Controller for full open operation. Alternately, the Controller can be programmed to open for 1 to 99 seconds then stop, before reaching the open limit.
When a Mid-travel Stop Position time has been programmed, the gate will still fully open if the Fire Department input is triggered, if the OPEN button is held down beyond the Mid-travel Stop Position, or a close obstruction or reverse loop input is triggered.
NOTE: The Mid-travel Stop feature is disabled when dual gate
operation is enabled for paired units.
Anti-tailgate Enable
The factory default sets the Anti-tailgate Enable to OFF. With this setting, during a gate cycle, after the shadow loop has been triggered by the vehicle and then has cleared after the vehicle passes, the Auto Close Timer or a CLOSE command is required to begin closing the gate.
If the Anti-tailgate Enable is set to ON, the gate will close immediately as soon as the shadow loop has cleared. Any subsequent shadow loop triggers while the gate is closing will stop the gate. When the shadow loop clears, the gate will continue closing.
Motor Type Selection
The factory sets the default for the Controller to match the type of motor in the operator. If required, change the motor selection option to a different type of motor used in the operator. The options available are:
• AC Motor Only
• DC Motor Only with Mechanical Braking
• DC Motor with Electronic Soft Start/Stop
• 3 Phase AC Motor
• AC Motor with DC Motor Backup with Mechanical Braking
• AC Motor with DC Motor Backup with Electronic Soft Start/Stop

Dual Gate Installations
Two operators can be used in dual gate installations. The operators communicate with each other through the 3-wire COMM LINK terminals.
When one operator activates, the COMM LINK connection signals the other operator to activate. Each operator functions independently, controlling its gate and monitoring its inputs and accessories.
A three-wire shielded conductor cable is required to connect two operators together for dual operation. Use Belden 8760 Twisted Pair Shielded Cable (or equivalent) only – P/N 2500-1982, per foot).
NOTE: The shield wire should be connected COMM LINK terminal
“C” in both operators.
Three of the programming functions available are only used for dual gate installations:
• Dual Gate Enable
Dual Gate Enable must be set for all dual gate installations.
• Stagger Mode
The Stagger Mode function determines if the operator has a delayed open or a delayed close. In dual swing gate installations, typically one operator is programmed for delayed open, and the other operator is programmed for delayed close.
• Stagger Delay Time
The Stagger Time sets the length of the delay for the Stagger Mode.
See Pages 11, 13, & 14 for details on these three dual gate programming functions.
Set the following parameters in each gate operator individually in a single gate mode before connecting the network cable and operating in dual gate mode.
1. Open and Close Limit settings
2. Open and Closed direction inherent entrapment protection (OC & CC)
After these parameters have been set, and each operator has been tested independently and is functioning correctly in single gate mode, then set BOTH operators to dual gate (dg) in the Paired Mode setup step under Basic Programming steps.

Gate Operation
Open Button
Opens the gate. If the Controller is programmed to stop opening the gate at mid-travel, a constant press of the OPEN button will override the Mid-travel Stop and completely open the gate. If the Auto Close Timer is set, it will be suspended until the OPEN button is released.
Reverse Input
If the reverse input is triggered while the gate is closing, the gate will reverse to the full open position. If the Auto Close Timer is set, when the reverse input is cleared, the gate will close when the Auto Close Timer expires.
Open Loop
Functions the same as the OPEN button.
Close Button
Closes the gate if the gate is open. Also closes the gate if the gate is in the process of opening.
Stop Button
Stops the gate from opening or closing at any time.
Single Input
Opens the gate if it’s closed and closes the gate if it’s open (open-close programming option). Activating the input while the gate is moving will reverse the gate.
Can be programmed to stop the gate while the gate is moving (open-stop-close programming option).
Fire Department Input
Fully opens the gate when the input is activated. Overrides the Mid-travel Stop and Auto Close Timer (if either is programmed for the gate). The gate will lockout in the open position without sounding the alarm. Press the STOP button to release the lockout.
Open Input
Functions the same as the OPEN button.
Open Obstruction
While the gate is opening, any open obstruction signal will cause the gate to stop, reverse a short distance, and then stop again. The Auto Close Timer will be disabled, and a renewed input will be required to start the gate again. Should the gate be restarted and the obstacle signal occur again prior to reaching a limit, the gate will stop again, lockout, and sound the emergency alarm.
Close Obstruction
While the gate is closing, any close obstruction signal will cause the gate to stop, reverse, and travel to the full open position. Should a open obstruction input or an open direction inherent entrapment condition occur prior to the gate reaching the open limit, the operator will lockout and sound the continuous tone alarm. Another close request will be required to start the operator again. If after restart, the overload or a close obstacle happens again before the close limit is reached, the operator will lockout and sound the alarm. If the auto close timer is set, when the close obstruction input is cleared, the gate will close when the auto close timer expires.
Reverse Loop
Functions the same as the reverse input.
Shadow/reset Loop
Only used with Swing Gates. Holds the gate fully open or fully closed while triggered. If open, the gate closes immediately when cleared if Anti-tailgate is enabled.
Operation Indications
During normal operation, the Controller’s displays will indicate current operating conditions and status.
Power-up Display
When the Controller powers up, dashes will show on the display, then the fi rmware version number, then the gate type (SL for slide and swing gates).
Exiting programming restarts the Controller. The power-up display will show upon the restart.
Idle Condition
While the Controller is idling, waiting for a command, the display will show circulating dashes.
For DC models only - Clockwise : Batteries discharging, Counterclockwise : Batteries charging.
Last Gate Position/Condition
When the gate moves or stops, the display will show the status for up to one minute.
• Stop is displayed as St
• Full Close is displayed as FC
• Full Open is displayed as FO
• Entrapment is displayed as En
Pre-start Delay
During the pre-start delay, the display will countdown the number of seconds remaining before the operator starts.
Reverse Delay
If the gate travel direction is reversed from a user activation or reversing device, and a reverse delay is set, the display will count down the delay time in seconds before the operator restarts.
Run Timer
While the gate is opening or closing, the number of seconds running time is displayed.
SLR SLC SLD Slide Gate Operator Installation Guide - 26 - 227968 Revision X19 8-11-2011
Error Indications
During abnormal operation, the Controller’s displays and beeper will indicate the error condition that has occurred.
Entrapment
If an entrapment condition occurs detected by two repeated open or close obstruction triggers, the Controller will lock the operator out. The beeper will sound constantly and the gate will not operate. To reset the Controller press the STOP button or press the RESET button on the operator’s cover.
WARNING
The Stop and/or Reset button must be located in the line-of­sight of the gate. Activation of the reset control shall not cause the operator to start.
COMM LINK Connection Failure
In dual gate installations, if there is a connection failure between the two operators, the COMM LINK indicator will blink once a second. During this condition the gate will not operate, except if triggered by the FIRE DEPT input, which functions normally.
MGT Obstacle Transmitter Trouble
If any MGT transmitters are used with the operator, their supervision feature will alert the Controller if there is any trouble with the transmitter. MGT transmitters send hourly status reports and will send low battery reports when the transmitter has a low battery. The MGT transmitters also have a tamper detection switch that will trigger when their case is opened.
When the Controller detects a low transmitter battery, a tamper signal, or missing transmitter status reports, the gate will still operate normally, but the beeper will change as follows:
• The Pre-start Alarm will beep twice as fast.
• The Run Alarm will beep twice as fast and continue for fi ve minutes after the gate stops.
• The sounder will “chirp” every fi ve seconds when the gate is idle.
Correct the trouble (close case, replace battery, or replace transmitter) to clear the obstacle transmitter trouble indications.

After the STOP or RESET button is pressed, because the Maximum Run Time has been exceeded, the sounder will beep twice every fi ve seconds. The next operation of the gate will clear the indication.

Troubleshooting
Contacting Technical Support
For technical questions regarding Linear gate operators, contact the Technical Services Department at:
1-800-421-1587 from 6:30 AM to 4:30 PM Pacifi c time
Operator fails to start
A. If the operator has been running a large number
of cycles, the motor may have become too hot and tripped its thermal overload breaker. Allow the motor to cool down and the thermal overload breaker will reset automatically.
B. Make sure you have power at the master distribution
panel and that the power has not been turned off.
C On an SLD, if the “Reset to Factory Defaults” programming
step has been used, ensure the motor type (MO) has been set to d2 and the open (OC) and closed currents (CC) have been set.
Motor operates, but gate does not move
A. Check for broken chain or worn belts.
B. Check all setscrews on pulleys and sprockets and tighten
them if necessary, and check for keys which may have fallen loose from keyways.
Motor sounds like it is working harder than normal
A. Make sure the gate is moving freely and without binding
throughout its entire travel.
B. Check the drive chain for obstructions (if the operator
has one).
C. If the operator has an internal brake mechanism, make
sure it is releasing.
Gate stopping part way open or closed (but no visible obstruction)
A. The Controller may have received a false obstruction
input triggered by current sensing set too low. Make sure the gate moves freely through its entire travel before adjusting the current sensing.
B. The Maximum Run Timer may have counted down and
expired. This can be caused by having the timer set too low, if a chain or belt is broken, or if a sprocket or pulley is slipping. When the timer expires, the gate stops and the beeper will sound.
C. An obstruction signal from an accessory wired to the
obstruction input may have triggered falsely. Check the control board for lit indicators for any of the following inputs: safety, shadow/reset, open obstruction, close obstruction, stop, etc. If any are lit when the operator should be running, remove all devices hooked to that function and hook them up one at a time and try to run the operator until the problem device is found. Refer to Page 8 for details on the control board indicators.
Gate staying open with automatic system
A. If there are vehicle detectors used with the operator, one
of the loops or loop detectors may be sending a false signal or needs to be reset. Observe the indicators on the loop detector. Unplug the detector and try running the operator.
B. An opening or reversing device may be stuck or
malfunctioning. Try disconnecting these devices and hook them back up one at a time and try running the operator until the malfunctioning device is found.
C. Make sure the close limit switch isn’t activated. If it is, the
operator will think the gate is already closed.
Limit switch getting out of time
A. Check for proper tension on all limit chains to be sure
there is no jumping taking place. Mark one tooth and its corresponding link and run the gate. If the marks have moved, the chain is skipping.
B. Check the setscrews in limit sprockets for tightness. In
rotary limit boxes, check the rotary limit nut for sloppiness or stripped threads. Replace if necessary.
How to Order Replacement Parts
Use the part numbers listed on the following pages.
Contact your local Linear dealer or distributor to order parts.
1. Supply the model number and serial number of your operator.
2. Specify the quantity of pieces needed and order by part number and name of part.
3. State whether to ship by freight, truck, parcel post, UPS or air express.
4. State whether transportation charges are to be prepaid or collect.
5. Specify name and address of person or company to whom parts are to be shipped.
6. Specify name and address of person or company to whom invoice is to be sent test

Model SLD Maintenance
Battery Maintenance
The gel-cell batteries in this operator require no routine maintenance. For assured continued performance, they should be replaced every year. If power is to be removed for one week or more, disconnect the negative wire from the batteries as this will prevent deep discharging. Fully charge before use after storage or upon initial installation.
DC Motor Brush Replacement
Brushes should be inspected every 100,000 cycles or yearly, whichever comes fi rst. The motor has two brushes, one on each side.
Original brushes are approximately 3/4” long and should be replaced when they are 1/2” long, or sooner. If brushes are allowed to wear beyond this point, permanent damage to the motor may result.
To inspect the brushes: (1) remove the retaining cap with straight-blade screwdriver; (2) carefully pull assembly straight out; (3) measure the remaining brush material.
To reinstall: (4) place the brush in holder, aligning the brush’s rounded indentation correctly with motor shaft; (5) gently push in the spring and align metal contact with oval slot in the brush holder, then push it in with retaining cap. Hold the cap in place and thread the cap into brush holder. Do not
overtighten or cap will crack!
Repeat for the other brush.

Preventative Maintenance
WARNING
Always disconnect power from operator before servicing. Keep clear of gate during operation.
General
Linear gate operators are designed for many years of trouble-free operation and, under recommended operating conditions, will require only minimal maintenance. To ensure that a unit is ready for operation at all times, and to preclude serious damage or failure, inspect the unit systematically. Proper adjustments and lubrication should be made as recommended.
Lubrication
Bearings — For models which have pillow block style
bearings with grease fi ttings, lubricate at least twice a year with a lithium complex based, petroleum oil NLGI 2 rated grease. Oilite and precision sealed bearings do not require additional lubrication.
Motor — Motors have sealed ball bearings and do not
require further lubrication. If bearing noise develops after several years of operation, bearings should be replaced by a motor repair company, or the motor should be replaced if necessary.
Drive Chain and Sprocket — The main drive chain and
sprockets should be inspected for wear, cleaned, and wiped down with a lightly oiled rag every six months.
6-Month Preventative Maintenance
1. For operators with V-belts, inspect for wear and replace as necessary. Check for proper tension and adjust if required. Check all pulley setscrews for tightness and tighten if necessary.
2. For operators with internal chain drives, inspect chain and sprockets for wear and replace if necessary. Check for proper tension and alignment, and adjust if required. Check all hub sprocket setscrews and tighten if required.
3. Check limit switches and limit actuators (cams, limit nuts, etc.) for wear and replace as required. In rotary limit switch assemblies, wipe the limit shaft clean and apply a light coating of dry lubricant.
4. For operators with magnetic brakes, check for proper adjustment. Brake disc must run free when the brake is engaged. For brake assemblies other than C-face style, the brake should be adjusted so that the solenoid plunger throw is between 3/8” to 1/2”. Too much throw will damage the solenoid.
