8 Remove the gate operator from it's package and make sure that all parts are included. Refer to General Information and Parts Identification. If any parts appear to be missing, contact dealer. Temporarily plug the operator into 115 Volt outlet or extension cord.
9 Installation continued... Disconnect Power from the gate operator! The tail end of the gate should extend approximately 24" beyond the edge of the driveway. If this is not the case, an extension tail will need to be added to the gate. This will give room for the gate operator.
10 Installation Continued... If the steel mounting stand was used, simply bolt the gate operator to the stand. If the operator will be mounted to a concrete surface or pad, place the shortest edge of the operator 4" away from the edge of the driveway.
11 Installation Continued... Attach the gate bracket to the gate as shown using the round or square u-bolts for round or square gate frames respectively. Attach the chain to the gate brackets using the chain bolt and master link as shown. If necessary, the chain may be easily short- ened using a chain breaker.
12 Alternate Inst allations The rear mount installation is an excellent way to conceal the chain or opera- tor. The operator is placed in the extreme rear of the gate as shown and the chain never goes across the driveway. The chain only goes from the gate operator to a post or wall beside the driveway.
13 Electrical Make sure that power is OFF before making any electrical connections! Be sure that all wiring is employed as required by local codes.
14 Electrical Continued... If the gate operator is already factory equipped with battery run, only the Right/Left Side switch and the Mode switch need to be set. The Right/Left switch simply needs to be set in the same position as the Right/Left switch on the main control board.

16 Wiring Diagrams, Button Controls z One button, two button and three button controls may be connected individually or together as shown below. Most button controls have a common "buss bar" which connects the common terminals of all buttons together so that only one common wire needs to be run back to the gate operator control board.
17 Fine T uning The gate operator is designed to work differently while opening then while closing to optimize safety, so the direction of the operator will need to be set. Setting the operator direction is done by flipping the right/ left side switch located at the top of the circuit board.
18 z Connect 115 Volts AC to each SL920 gate operator. Connect the four Master/Second wires from the master circuit board to the Second circuit board as shown below. Any operator can be used as either a master or a Second. Accessories can be connected to the master or second operator.

21 Safety Edge and W arning Placard Inst allation See reversing edge sensor instructions for the exact placement of the reversing edge contact sensors. One or more safety edge contact sensors shall be located at the leading edge, trailing edge, and post mounted both inside and outside of a vehicular horizontal slide gate.
22 Options If it is desired that the driveway illuminate when the gate is activated, a light delay timer may be installed. The light delay timer will switch power on to the light for two minutes, then shut power back off. The timer relay is capable of switching up to 10 Amps which will handle most flood or spot lights available.
23 For rear mount installation that are limited on space for the gate to slide back into, the space saver version is an excellent alternative. There may be a property wall, parking stall or other obstacle that reduces the amount of space available, making it difficult to mount the gate operator and still have room for the gate to slide.
