ENTRAPMENT PROTECTION INSTALLATION

A minimum of (2) monitored entrapment protection devices are REQUIRED for each entrapment zone.
An entrapment zone is a location or point of contact where a person can become entrapped between a moving gate and a rigid object.
The operator is equipped with an inherent entrapment protection system (ERD).
The gate operator requires an external monitored entrapment protection device (non-contact photoelectric sensor or contact edge) for each entrapment zone prior to gate operation. The operator cycles power to the external entrapment protection device and checks for device signals. If the operator does not receive the correct feedback from the device, the gate will not operate.

ALL-O-MATIC SL45 DC Slide Gate Opener - fig 8

LOOP LAYOUT

Below is a typical loop layout. When connecting to an All-O-Matic circuit board, use the following:
SAFETY LOOP – Normally Closed (N.C.) Contacts
EXIT/OPEN CMD – Normally Open (N.O.) Contacts (See page 27 for LPR-1 loop rack wiring)
Wires MUST be twisted from the exit point of the loop saw cut to the loop detector.
Twist loop wires 6 turns per foot, as shown below. Improper twisting of wires can cause loop issues.
When using an inside and outside safety loop, loops must be WIRED IN SERIES.

ALL-O-MATIC SL45 DC Slide Gate Opener - fig 9

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
OPERATORS MUST BE PROPERLY GROUNDED!

All gate operators MUST be properly grounded. This minimizes or prevents damage due to electrical charge, such as a near lightning strike or an electrical static discharge.
Use a single wire for the ground. DO NOT splice two wires for the ground. If the wire breaks or is cut, replace it with a single length wire. NEVER use two wires for the ground.
Check the local city code for proper earth ground rod type and grounding procedures.
Use UL listed conduits for power wire enclosure.
Use a minimum of a 20-amp, dedicated circuit for power.

Power	115 VAC 50/60Hz	230 VAC 50/60Hz Single Phase
LINE 1	115V HOT	230V LINE 1
LINE 2	115V NEUTRAL	230V LINE 2
GND	GROUND	GROUND

GATE TRAVEL ADJUSTMENT

Locate the limit switches (limit switches will be in the limit box on SL-150 DC) and follow the steps below:

Turn the power OFF on the operator.
Push the limit lock plate down (on the SL-45 DC, SL-90 DC, and SL-100 DC) or outwards (on the SL-150 DC)
Turn the limit nut toward the switch to DECREASE travel and away from the switch to INCREASE travel.
Place limit plate back to its locked position. (MUST be done for gate to hold its limits)
Turn the power ON to the operator.
Run the gate operator open and close. If additional adjustment is needed, repeat the steps.
When limits are set, move the gate to the closed position. Press and release “RESET” on the circuit board and run the gate one uninterrupted cycle (full open and full close) to learn the slow down.

ALL-O-MATIC SL45 DC Slide Gate Opener - fig 14

SL-150 DC CLUTCH ADJUSTMENT
The SL-150 DC gearbox is equipped with an internal clutch to protect the operator when gate is reversed in mid-cycle.
The clutch comes from the factory set at 60 lbs. of torque. In some applications, where the gates are heavier than normal, the clutch may require some adjustment to increase the amount of torque. It is important to have the clutch tight enough to be able to move the gate without slipping. It is as important to not over tighten the clutch, as it is a method of protecting the operator.
Follow these instructions to adjust the clutch when necessary:

To increase the torque, use a pipe wrench to turn the clutch nut clockwise .
Turn the nut 1/2 a turn at a time until the operator is able to move the load of the gate without the clutch slipping.
Once the operator is able to move the gate without the clutch slipping, turn the nut one full turn. This will allow the operator to move the gate, but also slip when the gate is reversed mid cycle or in the event the gate gets jammed.

ALL-O-MATIC SL45 DC Slide Gate Opener - fig 15

GATE OPENING DIRECTION SETTING

Use OPEN L/R” dipswitch (#8) to change the opening direction of the operator.
The direction of gate opening is determined from behind the gate operator.
LEDs will show opening and closing direction when the gate is moving.
OPEN L/R switch “OFF” is for left hand opening
OPEN L/R switch “ON” is for right hand opening

ALL-O-MATIC SL45 DC Slide Gate Opener - fig 16

PROGRAMMABLE RELAY AND LEAF DELAY

RELAY SETTINGS
Board model ALL-BLDC includes a programmable relay (N.O.) with four different configurations.
See table below for switch settings. Use the “Leaf Delay” potentiometer to adjust the delay time from 0 to 6 seconds.

1 second pulse for every open start cycle – Typically used for a cycle counter
“ON” when the gate is in motion
– Typically used for an audible alarm or strobe light to warn when the gate is in motion.
Alarm system output
– Activates the relay when the gate is forced open
“ON” when gate is not fully closed
– Typically used for a gate position indicator

S1	S2	RELAY FUNCTION
OFF	OFF	ONE SECOND PULSE FOR EVERY OPEN START
ON	OFF	ON WHEN GATE IS IN MOTION
OFF	ON	ALARM SYSTEM OUTPUT
ON	ON	ON WHEN GATE IS NOT FULLY CLOSED

DELAY SETTINGS
The ALL-BLDC board includes a delay option for open or close cycles. This delay option is most commonly used on swing gate applications. However, some slide gate applications may require a pre-warn strobe light or siren.
In these applications this delay could be used for the pre-warn delay in conjunction with the RELAY function ON WHEN GATE IN MOTION.
Use the dip-switch 3 to set the desired delay direction.

Flip the dip-switch 3 to the OFF position for the delay on opening direction
Flip the dip-switch 3 to the ON position for delay on closing direction
Use leaf delay potentiometer to adjust the delay
It has adjustment from 0-6 seconds.
Turn clockwise for less time
Turn counter-clockwise for more time

ALL-O-MATIC SL45 DC Slide Gate Opener - fig 18

ELECTRONIC REVERSING DEVICE
(ERD) ADJUSTMENT
All BLDC boards are equipped with an Electronic Reversing Device (ERD), which will cause the gate to reverse direction when it comes in contact with an obstruction.
The amount of force required to reverse the gate’s direction depends on the ERD sensitivity setting.
The ERDs must be adjusted for the operator to provide regular, reliable & safe operations. If the gate reverses direction on its own without hitting an obstruction, the ERD is too sensitive. If the gate does not reverse when it hits an obstruction, the ERD is not sensitive enough.
The gate operator ERDs shall be tested and adjusted every six months by a qualiﬁed technician. ALL-O-MATIC SL45 DC Slide Gate Opener - fig

TIMER ADJUSTMENT AND RADIO SETTING

ALL-O-MATIC SL45 DC Slide Gate Opener - fig 22

DIP SWITCH FUNCTIONS

TIMER
TIMER switch “ON” activates the automatic close timer.
RADIO
RADIO switch “ON” allows the radio receiver to override the automatic close timer.
OSC
OSC switch “ON” allows the radio receiver to stop and reverse the gate in any direction. During a cycle, the ﬁrst signal stops the gate. A second signal reverses the gate.
FAIL SC/SF
ON for Fail-Safe: Upon power failure, board will monitor battery voltage to make sure gate opens before battery completely drains. OFF for Fail-Secure: Upon power failure, gate will run until battery is low and lock closed.
1-PASS
1-PASS switch “ON” allows the gate to open until one vehicle goes over the safety loop. Once the vehicle has cleared the loop, the gate will stop and close. If a second vehicle goes over the loop while the gate is closing, the gate will stop. The vehicle must get off of the loop before the gate continues to close, forcing the second vehicle to present valid credentials. This is a true one pass, anti-tailgating feature to be used with safety loops.
SLAVE
This feature is used in dual gate applications. The SLAVE switch will be “ON” only on the slave operator. All other dip switches will be “off”. SLAVE switch will be “OFF” on the master operator. Set desired dip switch settings on the master operator only.
AUTO OPEN
This feature is to automatically open the gate on power interruption. It is a very particular feature used in areas where the fire department requires the gate to open automatically after a power outage.
Set this dip switch “ON” when this feature is desire.
OPEN L/R
OPEN L/R switch “ON” is used for right hand opening of the gate. The “OFF” position is used for left hand opening of the gate. ALL-O-MATIC SL45 DC

MONITORED ENTRAPMENT PROTECTION DEVICE CONNECTIONS

There are 2 types of sensors that can be connected to the gate operator for UL 325 monitored entrapment compliance: non-contact sensors (photo eye) and contact sensors (edge sensors).
Monitored entrapment protection devices use 4 wires to connect to the board. From the device, connect the RELAY COMMON to the board COMMON and the NORMALLY CLOSED relay contact to the assigned MON_OPEN or MON_CLOSE input. Connect the power wires to the COMMON and MON-12/24VDC.
IMPORTANT: You must use the MON-12/24VDC to properly monitor entrapment protection devices. To turn this voltage on for initial setup, press reset button on the board.Do not use the 24 VDC terminal on the board’s terminal strip.
NOTE: The power to the MON-12/24VDC terminal will be off when the gate is at rest (not moving). It will be normal to see the MON_OPEN and MON_CLOSE LEDs when the gate is closed. If the auto close timer is OFF it will do the same when the gate is at rest in the open position. Also, if no devices are connected both of these lights will stay ON.
Please refer to the device manufacturer wiring instructions for details (on next page), making sure to follow the normally closed wiring directions. Some devices may work on monitoring interfaces other than normally closed.
Should there be a need for more than 1 entrapment protection device for each direction, use a multi-input module from Miller Edge (model: MIM-62).

TECHNICAL TIPS

Board says “opening/closing”, but the gate does not move.
– Check the fuse on the circuit board. If the fuse is blown (the LED next to the fuse will be on), replace the fuse. If the gate goes back into operation, make sure that the gate is not binding or hitting either of the positive stops and/or catch. If the fuse blows again (immediately), the impact has shorted the transistor(s) on the board and the board will need to be repaired.
– Check the motor harness. Make sure the connector is in tight and that none of the wires are loose.
Radio and Monitored Power jumpers
– Jumpers come on 12VDC from the factory. The radio jumper is located on the top left of the board. The monitored power jumper is located to the right of the “12VDC/GROUND/24VDC” green terminal, underneath the relay. (NOTE: The 1090 Multicode receiver must have 24VDC to work) The 10 amp fuse on the EMI board keeps blowing
– Turn off the power, disconnect one of the white wires from the bridge rectiﬁer and replace the fuse. Turn the power back on. If the fuse does not blow immediately, the bridge rectiﬁer needs to be replaced.
– If the fuse blows with the white wire disconnected, make sure the MOVs (blue wafer components) or traces on the back of the EMI board have not burned. Check voltages from the EMI board, transformer, bridge rectiﬁer, etc. to see where the voltage issue is occurring.
Learning the slow down for the open and close limits
– Get the gate in the fully open or close position. Press and release “RESET” on the circuit board. Run the gate one full cycle (full open and full close) without interruption. The ﬁrst cycle may run slower while the board is learning and will run full speed the second cycle.
The gate is running slow
– Make sure that the variable speed potentiometer is at 100%.
– Follow the steps above to learn the slow down on the board.

Advance Replacement/ Repair and Return Policy
– We advance replace items within the ﬁrst (2) years of the operator date. In order to get an advance replacement, you must call our tech support and troubleshoot from the job site. If the item is determined to be defective, we will issue the technician a RMA number to give to the distributor. The distributor will send us a PO for the advance replacement item. Please note that any warranty item over (2) years will be repair and return only.
– We repair defective boards (including boards out of warranty) at no charge, provided that the board components are still available (applicable to boards over (15) years old) and that the board was not damaged by a power surge or has evidence of water damage. You can send the board in directly to us or send it to us through your distributor. We do our best to get the boards out 1-2 days after we receive it.
