Note - The same type of device shall not be utilized for both the primary and the secondary entrapment
protection means. Use of a single device to cover both the opening and closing directions is in accordance with
the requirement; however, a single device is not required to cover both directions. A combination of one Type
B1 for one direction and one Type B2 for the other direction is the equivalent of one device for the purpose of
complying with the requirements of either the primary or secondary entrapment protection areas.

Entrapment protection Types:
Type A: Inherent entrapment protection system.
Type B1: Provision for connection of, supplied with, a non-contact sensor (photoelectric sensor
or the equivalent).
Type B2: Provision for connection of, or supplied with, a contact sensor (edge device or the equivalent)
Type C: Inherent adjustable clutch or pressure relief device.
Type D: Provision for connection of, or supplied with, an actuating device requiring continuous pressure to
maintain opening or closing motion of the gate.
Type E: An audio alarm.

Use and Application
The model BLSL3060 is intended for Class I, II, III and IV usage on a vehicular slide gate
application.
a) Install the gate operator only when:
1) The operator is appropriate for the construction of the gate and the usage Class of the gate,
2) All openings of a horizontal slide gate are guarded or screened from the bottom of the gate to a minimum
of 4 feet (1.22 m) above the ground to prevent a 2-1/4 inch (57.2 mm) diameter sphere from passing
through the openings anywhere in the gate, and in that portion of the adjacent fence that the gate covers
in the open position,
3) All exposed pinch points are eliminated or guarded, and
4) Guarding is supplied for exposed rollers.
b) 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 in contact with the vehicular gate during the entire path of
travel of the vehicular gate.
c) The gate must be installed in a location so that enough clearance is supplied between the gate and adjacent
structures when opening and closing to reduce the risk of entrapment. Swinging gates shall not open into
public access areas.
d) The gate must be properly installed and work freely in both directions prior to the installation of the gate opera-
tor. Do not over-tighten the operator clutch or pressure relief valve to compensate for a damaged gate.
e) For gate operators utilizing Type D protection:
1) The gate operator controls must be placed so that the user has full view of the gate area when the gate is
moving,
2 The placard equivalent to the following: “To reduce the risk of electric shock the operator power is to be
provided from a weatherproof outlet in the case of attachment plug connection or weatherproof junction
box in the case of permanent wiring according to the National Electrical Code, NFPA 70.” shall be placed
adjacent to the controls,
3) An automatic closing device (such as a timer, loop sensor, or similar device) shall not be employed, and
4) No other activation device shall be connected.

Important Safety Instructions
WARNING – To reduce the risk of injury or death:
1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
2. Never let children operate or play with gate controls. Keep the remote control away from children.
3. Always keep people and objects away from the gate. NO ONE SHOULD CROSS THE PATH OF THE
MOVING GATE.
4. Test the gate operator monthly. The gate MUST reverse on contact with a rigid object or stop when an object
activates the non-contact sensors. After adjusting the force or the limit of travel, retest the gate operator.
Failure to adjust and retest the gate operator properly can increase the risk of injury or death.
5. Use the emergency release only when the gate is not moving.

Maintenance Instructions
Maintenance instructions of BLSL3060 performed by a qualified gate operator technician
Installation, all connections, programming, repair and modifications must be done by a
qualified professional gate operator installer.
Maintenance instructions of BLSL3060 performed by the end user/home owner
The following services need to be periodically performed:
• Check and adjust the gate operator for force, speed, and sensitivity.
• Make sure all power (AC/DC ) connections are corrosion free.
• Check all batteries for proper voltage of the intended use. A fully charged battery must be 26
VDC minimum.
&KHFNWKHLQFRPLQJOLQHYROWDJHDQGFRQ¿UPLWLVZLWKLQRILWVUDWLQJRUYROWV
• Verify battery backup functionally by turning off the power source (115 VAC and 230 VAC).
Don’t forget to restore power after testing.
• Check the wheels, guide rollers, chain, and lubricate where needed with a heavy-duty, highperformance
lubricant and avoid spillage.
• Inspect the track for any signs of cracking or separation.
• Test (use caution) all contact and non-contact sensors, all vehicle detectors, keypad, telephone
entry system or other control devices applicable.
• Test the manual release feature on the operator.

Although all Platinum Access Systems’ gate operators are virtually maintenance free to an end user/home own
minimal maintenance is recommended to ensure a smooth operation of this unit.
End users/home owners:
• Perform maintenance every six months, or when strenuous noise from wheels and/or guide rollers is
detected. Lubricate them with heavy-duty, high-performance lubricant and avoid spillage.
• DO NOT take the cover off the operator and/or the electrical control box to perform maintenance.
• Make sure there are no cars in the path of the gate while performing maintenance.
• Make sure the person performing maintenance is the only person in control of all control devices
in order to avoid possible involuntary activation of the gate operator.
• Keep spraying water hoses and sprinkler systems away from the gate, gate operator and the
electrical control box at all times. Keep that general area as clean as humanly possible.
• Test (use caution) all non-contact sensors, all vehicle detectors, keypad, telephone entry system or
other control devices applicable.

1.
Follow the local building code to determine the requirement of the concrete pad.
2. We recommend the Pad measurements should be at least 28
"
long, 20" wide,
and 24
"
deep to ensure the stable operation of the operator, and a minimum
of 4
"
above level grade to avoid any flooding of the operator.
3. To support the weight of the gate, we recommend the path of the track should be
at least 10
