Proper grounding minimizes or prevents damage caused by electrical charges, such as lightning strikes or static discharges. - Use a **single, continuous ground wire**. - Do not splice two wires together. - If the ground wire is cut or broken, replace it with a new single-length wire. - Never use two separate wires for the ground. - Check local city code for: - Approved earth ground rod type. - Proper grounding procedures. Correct grounding is critical for lightning protection on the control board. ### Power Wiring - Use **UL-listed conduit** for enclosing all power wires. - Operators can be powered from **115VAC or 230VAC single phase**. - On the EMI board, use the **voltage selector switch** to match the correct voltage option. - Refer to the **wiring table** below for incoming power connections. - Provide a **dedicated 20A minimum circuit** for each operator. - Refer to the **current draw table** to determine the proper power wire size. | DC PRO Gate Operators | Current Draw @120VAC | Current Draw @208/240VAC | |---|---:|---:| | SL-45DC PRO | 2 Amps | 1 Amp | | SL-90DC PRO | 4 Amps | 2 Amps | | SL-100DC PRO | 6 Amps | 3.5 Amps | | SL-150DC PRO – ½ HP | 6 Amps | 3.5 Amps | | SL-150DC PRO – 1 HP | 8 Amps | 4.5 Amps | > Figure: Illustration of a power board inside an operator enclosure.

Use below table to select the correct power wire size for the power run. It is important to use the correct size wire, as it is crucial to avoid voltage drops. **Max Wire Feet @ 120 Volts, 1 Phase,** **2% Max Voltage Drop** | Operator model | Volt–Amps | #14 | #12 | #10 | #8 | #6 | |---|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:| | SL-45DCPRO | 240 | 225 | 350 | 550 | 900 | 1400 | | SL-90DC PRO | 480 | 120 | 175 | 280 | 450 | 720 | | SL-100DC PRO | 720 | 75 | 120 | 190 | 300 | 475 | | SL-150DCPRO 1/2 | 720 | 75 | 120 | 190 | 300 | 475 | | SL-150DC PRO 1 | 960 | 60 | 90 | 145 | 225 | 350 | **Max Wire Feet @ 240 Volts, 1 Phase,** **2% Max Voltage Drop** | Operator model | Volt–Amps | #14 | #22 | #10 | #8 | #6 | |---|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:| | SL-45DC PRO | 240 | 450 | 700 | 1100 | 1800 | 2800 | | SL-90DC PRO | 480 | 240 | 350 | 560 | 900 | 1440 | | SL-100DC PRO | 720 | 150 | 240 | 380 | 600 | 950 | | SL-150DCPRO 1/2 | 720 | 150 | 240 | 380 | 600 | 950 | | SL-150DC PRO 1 | 960 | 120 | 180 | 290 | 450 | 700 | ## Page 19 # GATE OPENING DIRECTION AND # TRAVEL ADJUSTMENT > Figure: Close-up of an ALL-BLDC PRO control board.

This feature causes the gate to **reverse direction when it comes into contact with an obstruction.** ### Force Setting - The reversing force depends on the **ERD force setting**. - If the gate **reverses without obstruction**, the ERD force is set **too low**. - If the gate **does not reverse on obstruction**, the ERD force is set **too high**. ### Safety Requirement - ERDs **must be adjusted** for reliable and safe operation. - A **qualified technician** shall test and adjust the ERDs **every six months**. ### Adjustment Access - Quick-access buttons are provided for **OPEN ERD** and **CLOSE ERD** adjustments. - These open directly to the adjustment menu — no need to navigate through the LCD menus. ### Adjustment Procedure #### 1. Adjust OPEN ERD - While the gate is **opening**, press and release the **OPEN ERD** button. - The **OPEN ERD adjustment** will appear on the LCD display. - Use the **DOWN button** to decrease force until the gate stops and reverses. - Increase the setting by **30% above that point**. - Example: If reversal occurred at **20%**, increase to **50%**. - This provides a buffer for reliable operation and safety. #### 2. Adjust CLOSE ERD - While the gate is **closing**, press and release the **CLOSE ERD** button. - The **CLOSE ERD adjustment** will appear on the LCD display. - Use the **DOWN button** to decrease force until the gate stops and reverses. - Increase the setting by **30% above that point**. - Example: If reversal occurred at **20%**, increase to **50%**. - This ensures reliable closing and obstruction response. ### Factory Setting - From the factory, **OPEN ERD** and **CLOSE ERD** are set to **50%**. > Figure: ALL-BLDC PRO controller board showing quick-access controls. A large arrow points upward to the two buttons labeled “OPEN ERD” and “CLOSE ERD,” with the caption “**ERD quick access buttons**.” Visible board labels include OPEN, STOP, CLOSE, ALARM, TIMER, CLOSE TIMER, OPEN ERD, CLOSE ERD, FUSE, LINE-IN, BATTERY, MOTOR SENSORS, and dip-switch labels including TIMER, RADIO, OSC, FAIL-PASS, ONE PASS, SECONDARY, AUTO OPEN 1, AUTO OPEN 2. ## Page 23 # SL-150DC PRO CLUTCH ADJUSTMENT # SL-150DC PRO Gearbox Clutch Adjustment ### Overview The **SL-150DC PRO gearbox** is equipped with an **internal clutch** that protects the operator when the gate is reversed mid-cycle. - Factory setting: **60 lbs. of torque.** - In some applications with **heavier gates**, the clutch may require adjustment to increase torque. - The clutch must be: - **Tight enough** to move the gate without slipping. - **Not over-tightened**, as the clutch also protects the operator by slipping if the gate is jammed or reversed mid-cycle. ### Adjustment Procedure 1. Use a **pipe wrench** or a **large crescent wrench** on the clutch nut. 2. Turn the nut **clockwise** to increase torque. - Adjust **½ turn at a time** until the operator can move the gate load without slipping. 3. Once the operator moves the gate reliably: - Turn the nut an **additional full turn**. - This provides enough torque for operation while still allowing the clutch to slip during reversal or obstruction. > Figure: Technical drawing of the SL-150DC PRO gearbox/operator assembly with a circular magnified inset of the gearbox interior. A red arrow points to the clutch nut in the inset. Label: “**CLUTCH NUT**.” Leader lines connect the full assembly to the magnified detail. ## Page 24 # Primary/Secondary Communication Setup ⚠ **Important:** Complete these steps **before linking Primary/Secondary communication.** ### Preparation 1. **Adjust the ERDs and limit switches** on each operator individually as stand-alone machines. *(See ERD and Limit Switch Adjustment sections for details.)* 2.

This will **speed up diagnosis** and help restore operation quickly. ## Page 37 # TECHNICAL TIPS | Operator Symptom | Solutions (diagnose) | |---|---| | Opening or closing LEDs are on, but gate doesn't move | If **AC PWR_LED** is blinking, replace the fuse at bottom right corner of the board. After replacing the fuse and before a signal is given, inspect the gate and make sure it's not bound up and that the limit switches are set correctly. If gate still doesn’t run, check motor harness and make sure it is plugged in correctly and no wires are loose. | | Radio receiver doesn’t work | Jumper at top left corner by factory is set on 12VDC. If the receiver requires 24VDC, move the jumper to 24VDC. | | AC PWR_ON LED is off | Make sure main high voltage power is connected and AC power switch is in the ON position. If that is fine, check 10Amp fuse in EMI board in the power box. If it's blown, check rectifier, it may also be damaged and need to be replaced along with the 10Amp fuse. | | Gate opens very slow | Check limit switch adjustment. Usually when gate opens very slow it is due to gate hitting the receiving post or positive stop before close limit switch activates. Check the variable speed setting to be sure it's set at 100%. Check that the AC power is turned ON and that the AC PWR_ON LED is lit. Also, make sure limit learning has been done. See below. | | Learning the limits for soft stop function. | Set the gate in closed position with the close limit activated. Press and release the RESET button on board. Run the gate a full cycle (full open and full close) without interruption. The first cycle will be slower while learning the distance between limits. It will run full speed once limits have been learned. | | Gate does not run and ALARM LED is ON | Gate is in Shut down mode due to obstruction detection. Press red RESET button outside control box next to radio connector. Run the gate and inspect gate is bound up or jammed. Test ERD sensitivity. See ERD adjustment page for details on the adjustment. | | Gate does not run and FP_DISABLE is ON | Check foot pedal and make sure it's up. Foot pedal has a kill switch and when it's down, it disables the operator. | | Gate does not run and STOP LED is ON | Check STOP input device and make sure it is not activated. Remember, this input is N.C. and LED will stay on if the wrong contact is used. | | Gate does not run and MODE LED blinks | See LED DIAGNOSTICS for details on the meaning of the blinks. | | Gate doesn't close | Check LEDs, any of the following input LEDs will prevent gate from closing. Check inputs for LEDs that are ON: RADIO, OPEN, STOP, EXIT LOOP, PHAN LOOP, SAFETY LOOP, FIRE ACCES, MON-CLOSE (check wiring and alignment), FP_DISABLE, (AUX INPUT 1 & 2, depending on programmed function). Also, check if AC PWR_ON LED is OFF(if it's OFF and dip-switch 4 or 7 are ON, gate will remain open). | | Gate doesn't open | Check LEDs, any of the following input LEDs will prevent gate from opening. Check inputs for LEDs that are ON: STOP, CLOSE, MON-OPEN, FP_DISABLE and AUX INPUT 1 or 2 (depending on programmed function). Also, check if AC PWR_ON LED is OFF (if it's OFF and dip-switch 4 is OFF, gate will remain closed if battery is low) | | Gate stops and reverses before reaching limits | Check ERD. If no obvious obstruction is present, it may need to be adjusted and increase the force for the direction it is stopping. See ERD adjustment page for details. | | Gate stops and reverses open | Check LEDs and see if any of them turn ON when gate reverses. It may be that the gate movement might be activating that device. See above the devices that prevents gate from closing. | ## Page 38 # AUX INPUT 1 & 2 PROGRAMMING AUX INPUT 1 & 2 can be programmed to do different functions.
