SAFETY SUMMARY  
It is imperative that everyone involved in the installation or operation of the LiftMaster model SL 1000-  
X1 Slide Gate Operator reads the following warnings.  
WARNING!  
A vehicle gate is a large, heavy object that is moved by an electric motor. A moving  
gate can cause serious injury or death! The safety and well-being of others depends  
on the installation of a safe system.  
Improper installation of a gate operator can result in a dangerous system.  
Gate operators can present serious hazards to persons in the immediate area when  
not controlled in a safe manner. Choose one or more controls that together will allow  
complete control of the gate. Most importantly, the gate must be able to be stopped  
at all times in case of emergency, and the emergency control should be conveniently  
located, clearly marked and visible.  
All controls must be kept out of the reach of small children. Serious injury or death  
can result from children playing with the controls.  
All controls should be located so the person operating them can see the full area of  
gate movement.  
Gate operators and associated control equipment should be installed by qualified  
professional installers who should observe the following safe installation procedures:  
1. Power should always be disconnected whenever installing, wiring or servicing a  
gate operator. Moving chains in gate operators can catch clothing or fingers and  
cause severe injury.  
2. Installation of wiring should comply with local building and electrical codes.  
3. All manual gate locks should be disabled to avoid damage to the gate or gate  
operator should the lock become engaged after the operator is installed.  
4. All operator controls and safety equipment should be tested at the conclusion of  
installation to be sure they are functioning properly.  
5. The operation of the gate controls and safety equipment should be reviewed with  
the owner and/or end user of the automated gate system. They should also be  
informed of the need to maintain control and safety equipment on a regular basis.  
Safety equipment should be checked monthly to ensure it is working properly. All  
installation manuals and safety information should be left with the owner.  
6. Moving gates have pinch points and entrapment zones which can be extremely  
dangerous to pedestrians, especially small children.

BASIC INSTALLATION HINTS AND RULES  
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION VERY CAREFULLY BEFORE BEGINNING YOUR INSTALLATION.  
In the sections that follow, detailed procedures are discussed for each step required to install a model  
SL 1000-X1 system. In addition to these specific procedures, there are a number of general hints and  
rules which will help ensure that your installation will be done correctly and efficiently. These are  
discussed below.  
1. UNDERSTAND THE SYSTEM AND INSTALLATION SITE THOROUGHLY. The SL 1000-X1 is a  
flexible and reliable gate operator system, but the quality of service depends directly on the quality of  
installation. Please read these instructions carefully and study the applicable diagrams before planning  
your installation. In particular, understand any site characteristics that may affect the system  
installation.  
WARNING  
2. INSTALL PERMANENT WIRING. U.L. specifications require the model SL 1000-X1 system to be  
permanently wired. Refer to your local wiring code for specific information.  
WARNING: Damage caused by faulty wiring is not covered by warranty.  
3. GROUND THE SYSTEM. The system contains parts which may be damaged by static discharge. A  
proper earth ground connected to the gate operator housing (at the lower left grounding screw shown in  
Figure 16) will significantly reduce the chances of damage or improper operation. The shielding in the  
cables specified for all remote sensors and controls should also be connected to earth ground at the  
controller end of the cable only.  
To be effective, the ground connection must be made by running 12 awg copper wire to a good ground  
point (e.g., an electrical panel, a metallic cold water pipe that runs into the earth, or a grounding rod at  
least 10 feet in length that is driven into the earth) within 12 feet of the system. Even if you have a  
good earth ground, you should try to discharge any static before handling the boards.  
WARNING: Damage caused by static discharge or lightning is not covered by warranty.  
4. PROVIDE POWER FROM A DEDICATED SOURCE. The outlet into which you connect the Gate  
Operator should be wired to its own circuit breaker. This will reduce the line noise introduced into  
system power and minimize the risk of having other equipment interrupt system operation.  
5. DO NOT OVERLOAD THE TERMINAL BLOCKS. The terminal blocks used in the gate operator are  
removable and the pins are soldered into the boards. To connect your wires, remove the "head" from  
the correct terminals and open the screws. Insert the wire into the correct opening on the front and  
tighten the screw until the wire is held firmly. When you have made all connections for a given "head",  
plug it back onto the pins designated for that terminal block.  
Stranded wire must be between 16 and 24 awg. Solid wire must be between 18 and 24 awg. This is  
the total thickness measurement so, if you are putting two wires in, the combined thickness must fall  
within this range. NEVER try to insert more than two wires per terminal.  
6. ENSURE GOOD CONNECTIONS. A light tug on the wire will tell you if the connection is secure.  
When reconnecting system components, make sure all pins are straight on chips, connectors, and  
terminal block heads.  
7. READ THE MARKINGS CAREFULLY. The connection points are marked on the boards clearly.  
Before making any connection, be sure to read the marking and check it against the corresponding  
figure in these instructions so that you understand the connection you are making.  
8. TRAIN YOUR CUSTOMERS THOROUGHLY. Although customer responsibility is limited to proper  
installation, the quality of service is determined by care of system programming. Ensure that the  
customer has a copy of the manual, Programming Instructions for LiftMaster SL 1000-X1 and SW  
2000-X1 Gate Operators (Doc. No. 6001193) to guide them. It will save you and them lots of  
inconvenience and aggravation later.

B. PAD AND MOUNT  
Figure 4. Pad And Track Ribbon.  
Figure 5. Bolt Down Pattern.  
Figure 6. Conduit Entrance Areas.  
1. The concrete pad must be sufficient to support the gate operator and the forces created by the  
moving gate. LiftMaster recommends a pad 20” wide by 30” long by 24” deep (Figure 4).  
2. The operator must be level and parallel to the gate, so the pad should be level and about 4” above  
ground level to prevent water entrance.  
3. Four anchor bolts are required to secure the gate operator to the pad. The mounting holes in the  
gate operator are 5/8” in diameter. ½” x 3½ “ Red Head bolts are recommended (Figure 5).  
4. Be sure to provide access for wiring conduits (Figure 6).  
NOTE: Shading indicates acceptable areas for conduit stub access.  
5. Track installation should be on concrete, not asphalt, and should be at least 10’’ wide and 6” deep.  
6. A 6” gate overlap at the open end of the gate when closed should be provided.  
7. A 30” gate overlap at closed end of the gate when closed should be provided.

C. POWER WIRING  
1. Provide a conduit stub for the AC power.  
2. The gate operator requires a 115 VAC 20 AMP single phase circuit.  
3. Be sure to pull a ground wire in the conduit for the connection to the gate operator.  
Important: Do not rely on metallic conduit for earth ground.  
D. LOOP DETECTORS  
The gate operator has a shelf that can support loop detector electronics. Power for the loop  
detector can come from the auxiliary 115 VAC plugs in the gate operator or from the 24 VAC  
provided by the gate operator.  
Conduit provisions should be made for the “loop” wire entrance to the loop detector.  
The shelf space provided is approximately 4” x 10” x 18” high.  
NOTE: Shelf space on systems without the Power Fail Option is about 10" x 10" x18".  
E. TELEPHONE CONNECTION  
Provisions should be made for a conduit entrance into the gate operator for the telephone line.  
A single twisted pair wire 18 AWG to 24 AWG, will be connected from the telephone company  
termination block through the conduit to J9 on the control board. Polarity is not important.  
NOTE: Do not run telephone and AC power wires in the same conduit  
F. OTHER CONNECTIONS  
Provisions should be made for conduit entrance into the gate operator for external activating  
devices such as key switches, telephone entry systems, etc.

POWER UP PROCEDURE  
CAUTION  
If gate is positioned at the ‘open’ limit, gate will automatically close when  
power is switched on. Position gate either at the closed limit or at no limit  
when preparing to switch power on. Always use extreme caution and  
follow all warnings in the Safety Summary.  
1. Turn on circuit breaker that provides power to gate operator.  
2. Turn the power switch on. If gate is positioned at the open limit, it will automatically cycle to the  
full closed position. If gate is positioned anywhere else, it will not move until commanded.  
3. The seven-segment display above the keypad will sequentially spell out HELLO, then go blank.  
4. NOTE:  
If the display does not follow this pattern, the controller board may not be working  
correctly. Stop installation and call LiftMaster Technical Support for assistance.  
F. USING MANUAL CONTROLS  
Figure 13. Manual Controls, Location and Operation.  
Use the manual controls on Manual Input Terminal TB2 (OPEN, CLOSE, and STOP, as shown in  
Figure 13), to move the gate arm for installation and to cycle the gate when making the limit cam  
adjustments.  
To open the gate: connect the OPEN terminal to the COMMON terminal.  
To close the gate: connect the CLOSE terminal to the COMMON terminal.  
To stop the gate: connect the STOP terminal to the COMMON terminal.  
G. SETTING LIMIT CAMS  
The left limit cam is close to the gearbox. The right limit is close to the end of the shaft (see  
Figure 14).  
Limit cams are adjusted by releasing the cam lock plate, rotating the cams, then reseating the  
cam lock plate. When the adjustment is finished, be sure the cam lock plate is seated into the  
notches of BOTH cams.  
Each cam rotation (360o) equals 11” of gate travel. Each cam notch equals 5/8” of gate travel.

J. POWER FAIL OPERATION OPTION CONNECTION  
a) Power Fail Operation Option Connection  
CAUTION  
Perform the next step (battery hookup) with care. Interchanging battery wires temporarily opens  
the the resettabale fuse on gate operator board, disabling the power fail option.  
To ensure a safe installation, the gate operator is shipped with the battery partially disconnected  
from the Power Fail Option electronics. To enable this option:  
Connect white/red wire of option harness to positive (+) battery terminal.  
b) Power Fail Operation Option Test  
NOTES:  
The following procedures require turning main power to the gate operator off and on at its  
dedicated circuit breaker. DO NOT shut off the Gate Operator Power switch unless  
specifically directed by the procedure, since this will shut off everything, including the  
Power Fail Operation option.  
Because the battery may not be fully charged at the time of the test, we strongly suggest  
moving the gate only one foot when performing the power fail test.  
1. Set Power Fail switch S2 to the same position as switch S1 (Figure 12).  
2. Turn on gate operator power switch.  
3. Using the manual controls (Figure 13), initiate gate opening, then stop the gate about one  
foot short of its fully open position.  
4. Turn off main power to the gate operator. After about one minute the gate should start  
opening and stop at its fully open limit.  
5. Turn on main power to the gate operator.  
6. Set Power Fail switch S2 to the opposite position.  
7. Using the manual controls, initiate gate closing, then stop the gate about one foot short of its  
fully closed position.  
8. Turn off main power to the gate operator. After about one minute the gate should start  
closing and stop at its fully closed limit.  
9. Turn on main power to the gate operator.  
10. Set Power Fail switch S2 to the direction you desire the gate to move after a power outage.

2. Verify that switch S1 (the Gate Open Direction switch) is set to the correct position.  
3. Turn on the unit power switch (on master/slave systems, turn on slave and then master).  
2. Manual inputs  
1. Verify that Manual Open fully opens the gate and that the open limit switch stops the gate.  
2. Verify that Manual Close fully closes the gate and that the close limit switch stops the gate.  
3. Verify that Manual Stop stops the gate.  
Note: If the gate stops due to a Reverse Fault, readjust the gate sensitivity pot.  
3. Mechanical  
Use the Manual Input commands to verify that:  
1. The gate rolls open and closed smoothly.  
2. There is no squeak or vibration in the gate when it is moving .  
3. There is no belt slippage when the gate moves or stops.  
4. There is no slack in the closed gate due to loose chain or parts.  
5. Both gates open and close at the same time (Bi-Parting gates only).  
4. Gate sensitivity  
1. Left/Right Reverse sensitivity:  
Apply a bump to the opening and closing gate and verify that the gate stops or reverses.  
2. Inrush (Gate response time) :  
Apply a bump to the gate as it initiates opening and closing and verify that the gate  
responds to the bump within a second.  
5. Maximum Retry Count  
1. If you want the gate to resume operation automatically once or twice after a Fault, enter 1 or  
2 in programming step 9.  
2. If you do not want the gate to resume automatically after a Fault, enter 0.  
3. Give the opening gate a quick bump to generate a fault and verify retry operation.  
NOTE: Programming steps 10 through 14 allow further gate control after a fault.  
6. Entry inputs  
1. Activate the OPEN input (entry system), RADIO input (radio transmitter), and EXIT Loop  
input (driving over the exit loop) and verify that they fully open the gate. If Reclose Timer is  
enabled, it will close the gate.  
2. Activate the FIRE input (fire department switch) and verify that the gate fully opens and then  
closes immediately. If Reclose Timer is enabled, it will close the gate.

MODEL SL 1000-X1 OPTIONS  
POWER FAIL OPERATION OPTION  
The LiftMaster Power Fail Operation Option may be ordered pre-installed in new units, or can be  
purchased separately for installation in LiftMaster gate operator systems in the field. The Power Fail kit  
includes a DC motor, belt, battery, battery support bracket assembly (includes bracket, 3 control relays,  
rectifier and wire harness) and mounting hardware. Features of the Power Fail Option are as follows:  
The Power Fail Operation system fully opens or closes the the gate (User's choice) one minute after  
a power outage. The gate will remain open or closed until AC power is restored.  
When AC power is restored, the battery is charged up to its full potenial, then continuously trickle  
charged. Recharging takes from one to five hours, depending on the weight of the gate and how far  
it moved during the outage. The age of the battery also increases the battery charging time.  
NOTE: Battery capacity decreases over time. Battery should be replaced every two or three years.  
The charging section and controls for the Power Fail Operation are located on the control board.  
The motor sensing potentiometers (Right reverse, Left reverse and Inrush) on the Gate Operator  
board may require readjustment if the Power Fail Operation option is installed in the field.  
Gate speed may be slightly reduced with the Power Fail Operation option installed.  
IMPORTANT NOTE  
During a power outage, all Gate Operator safety features are  
disabled and only the limit switches stop movement of the gate.

D. MAINTENANCE  
WARNING  
To avoid injury, always turn off the unit power switch before working on gate.  
Regularly performance of preventive maintenance is essential for reliable system operation  
because it corrects small problems before they turn into emergencies. LiftMaster recommends  
performing preventive maintenance every 6 to 12 months, depending upon the amount of gate  
usage.  
If the gate is installed in a private residence or small apartment house where usage is not  
severe, yearly preventive maintenance is acceptable  
If the gate is installed in a high-traffic application, semi-annual preventive maintenance is  
essential.  
PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE TASKS  
1. Gate: must roll freely without any impediment. Check wheels, grease if necessary.  
2. Chain: Check for wear and tension. If loose, adjust chain tension. Do not oil chain.  
3. Sprocket: must not be loose on the shaft. Tighten set screws if loose .  
4. Idlers: Check for wear. Tighten bolts if loose. Do not oil idler assembly.  
5. Limit switches: contacts must bounce back rapidly when they are pressed and released.  
Cam lock plate (see Figure 14) must firmly hold the cams. Do not oil gearbox shaft.  
6. Belt: Check for wear and tension (25 to 30 lb.). Adjust the AC motor up or down to set  
proper tension.  
7. Pulleys: must all line up and be firmly secured to their shafts. Tighten set screws if loose .  
8. Gear Box: Check for no oil leakage around the bushings. Do not oil gearbox.  
9. Control board: Check for water damage or burned spots. All connectors secured to the  
board.  
10. Wiring: Check all wirings for any insulation damage. Check for loose wire connections.  
11. No Rust: Check for rust throughout the unit. Check corners for water entrapment.  
12. Fire Open: Activate Fire department switch to verify emergency gate opening.  
13. Gate Sense: Check for the gate sensitivity (refer to Part 2, System Installation, paragraph H,  
Gate Sensitivity Adjustments).  
14. Power Fail Option (PFO): Check for proper operation (refer to Part 2, System Installation,

FUNCTIONAL INPUTS  
NOTES: The term "activation" means closing an input circuit (via a relay or switch), and may be  
momentary or continuous. Momentary activations are superceded by any command.  
Continuous activations are superceded only by an overriding command.  
Activating any command when gate is at the open limit stops the Reclose Timer. When  
the command (except Manual CLOSE and STOP) is cleared, the Reclose Timer is reset.  
MANUAL INPUTS: OPEN, CLOSE, AND STOP (TB2)  
MAN OPEN  
Activation fully opens the gate. Continuous activation holds gate open.  
MAN OPEN overrides Anti-Tail-gate (ATG), Reclose Timer, and all controls  
but MAN STOP.  
MAN CLOSE  
MAN STOP  
Activation fully closes the gate. Continuous activation holds gate closed.  
MAN CLOSE overrides all controls but MAN STOP, MAN OPEN and FIRE.  
Activation stops opening and closing gates. MAN STOP overrides Reclose  
Timer and all other controls, manual or automatic. If MAN STOP is  
connected to its COMMON, no commands affect the gate.  
ENTRY SYSTEM/FIRE SWITCH INPUTS (TB9)  
OPEN Reclose Timer disabled:  
Activation opens the gate, which remains open until another command is  
received. An OPEN command when the gate is fully open closes the gate.  
This Alternate action allows a single command to both open and close the  
gate. OPEN also opens a closing gate. If Anti-Tailgating (ATG) is ON,  
Alternate Action is disabled. With ATG enabled, the gate begins closing as  
soon as the SAFETY LOOP clears.  
Reclose Timer enabled:  
Activation opens the gate, then the Reclose Timer closes the gate. An  
OPEN command also opens a closing gate, but will not close a fully open  
gate if the Reclose Timer is enabled. If Anti-Tailgating (ATG) is enabled, the  
gate closes as soon as the SAFETY LOOP clears.  
FIRE  
Activation opens the gate. Continuous activation holds the gate open. If  
Reclose Timer is disabled, when FIRE is deactivated, gate closes  
immediately. If Reclose Timer is enabled, when FIRE is deacitvated, the  
Reclose Timer starts. FIRE overrides all commands but Manual STOP.  
EXIT LOOP DETECTOR INPUTS (TB10)  
EXIT LOOP  
Same as OPEN, but does not close the gate when it is fully open.  
SHADOW LOOP (Swing gates only) Activation prevents the gate from opening or closing so  
the gate won't hit a vehicle. If the gate is already moving, or if the gate is not  
fully opened or closed, this input has no effect.  
SAFETY LOOP DETECTOR/SAFETY BAR INPUTS (TB11)  
SAFETY LOOP SWING with ATG enabled  
Activation prevents the gate from opening or closing and halts a closing gate.  
When Safety Loop clears, the gate continues closing. If gate is opening or is  
fully open, when the Safety loop clears, the gate begins closing.  
SWING with ATG disabled  
Activation prevents the gate from opening or closing and stops a moving  
gate. When Safety Loop clears, the gate resumes its course.  
SLIDE with ATG enabled  
Activation prevents the gate from closing and halts a closing gate. When the  
Safety Loop clears, the gate continues closing. If the gate is opening or is  
fully open, when the Safety Loop clears, the gate begins closing.  
SLIDE with ATG disabled  
Activation prevents the gate from closing and opens a closing gate. Gate  
fully opens and starts the Reclose Timer if timer is enabled.

SAFETY BAR  
Activation causes the gate to reverse for a programmable distance and stop. If  
Max Retry Count is enabled, gate waits a programmable pause time, then retries.  
The gate will retry up to twice before faulting out.  
RADIO INPUT (TB6)  
RADIO RECV  
Convenience terminals provide power and contact connection for a radio  
receiver. Activation is the same as OPEN.  
WARNING (TB8)  
WARNING OUT Relay contacts close depending on the programmed setting of the warning  
relay.  
MAG LOCK INPUT (TB4)  
MAG LOCK  
Relay contacts close when the gate is fully closed.  
SLAVE I/O INPUT (TB1)  
SLAVE I/O  
Input/output terminals are used to control a second gate operator.  
PHONE LINE (J9)  
PHONE LINE  
Terminals connect the telephone line to the gate operator.  
ADJUSTMENTS  
OVERLOAD  
(R72)  
Factory-set pot protects the gate operator from excessive motor current.  
If MAX Retry is enabled, when the limit is exceeded, a closing gate reverses  
a programmed distance and an opening gate stops, waits a programmed  
pause time, then tries to resume. The gate will retry up to twice before  
faulting out.  
NOTE: Gate may be more sensitive to drag in one direction than the other.  
NOTE: For swing gate operation, controls are Right/Clockwise and Left/Counterclockwise.  
REVERSE  
SENSE  
RIGHT (R69)  
Adjustable pot controls gate sensitivity to blockages by the instantaneous  
rise in motor current. If MaxRetry count is enabled, when the limit is  
exceeded, a closing gate reverses a programmed distance and an opening  
gate stops, waits a programmed pause time, then tries to resume. The gate  
will retry up to twice before faulting out.  
REVERSE  
SENSE  
LEFT (R160)  
Adjustable pot controls gate sensitivity to blockages by the instantaneous  
rise in motor current. If MaxRetry count is enabled, when the limit is  
exceeded, a closing gate reverses a programmed distance and an opening  
gate stops, waits a programmed pause time, then tries to resume. The gate  
will retry up to twice before faulting out.  
NOTE: LiftMaster gate operators have two reverse sense adjustments  
(right/clockwise and left/counterclockwise) where other gate operators have  
only one. This allows greater flexibility of installation. For instance, you can  
install a gate on an incline and not worry about sacrificing downhill gate  
sensitivity.  
INRUSH  
(R203)  
Adjustable pot controls the delay in sensitivity to reverse sense inputs.  
This delay in sensitivity prevents the initial motor inrush current from  
causing a fault condition. The weight of the gate determines this setting.  
CONNECTORS

APPENDIX C  
PARALLEL WIRING GATE OPERATORS  
In the absence of Master/Slave firmware, two SL 1000-X1s may be parallel-wired as shown below.  
NOTES:  
1.  
When parallel wiring the RADIO INPUT terminals, do not connect the POWER output  
from one board to the POWER output on the other board. This will damage the  
controller boards.  
2.  
3.  
Do not parallel wire the MAGLOCK terminals. Auxiliary device circuits may be  
damaged if separate auxiliary devices are used with each board.  
Both gate operators must have the same settings for:  
a.  
Gate Control Settings (see programming table in Part 2, para. J, Basic Gate  
Operator Programming).  
b.  
c.  
Current Sensitivity pots (Left & Right Reverse, Inrush)  
Limit Cams  
CAUTION  
The Signal and Common terminals on one board MUST connect to the corresponding  
Signal and Common terminals on the other board.  
DO NOT INTERCHANGE SIGNAL AND COMMON TERMINALS.

GLOSSARY  
AC: Alternating Current. An electric current or voltage that reverses direction at regular intervals.  
Alternate Action: Ability to open and close a fully open gate by using the same open command.  
Arc: The area that is swept by a swing gate from fully closed to fully open position.  
ATG: Anti-tailgating refers to a method of immediately closing an opening gate behind a vehicle so that  
an unauthorized vehicle can not follow the authorized vehicle through the gate.  
DC: Direct Current. An electric current of constant value flowing in one direction only.  
Dynamic braking: Stopping the gate by activating the forward and reverse windings of the gate  
operator motor in each half AC cycle.  
Fault: An abnormal condition which causes the gate to stop to protect the gate and the user.  
Gate sensitivity: The response of the gate operator to an exerting force to the gate.  
Gear Box: A device that changes the speed and power of its driving force (motor).  
Inrush current: Initial current drawn into an electrical device due to its capasitive or inductive nature.  
Interrupt Bar or Edge: A switch which is installed at the edge of a gate to protect an object which is  
situated between the gate and the gate frame.  
LED: Light Emitting Diode. LEDs are indicators placed on the controller board which light up to  
indicate an action in the system.  
Limit switch: A switch which its closure indicates the gate has reached its open or close limit, causing  
the gate to stop. There are two limit switches, open and close.  
Limit cam: An object which its excursion corresponds to the gate traveling distance and closes the  
limit switch at the open or close limit of the gate.  
Loop sensor: A wire embedded in the ground for magnetically sensing large metallic objects (cars).  
Exit or Open Loop: activation opens the gate.  
Interrupt or Reverse or Reopen Loop: activation reverses or stops the gate.  
Shadow Loop: activation prevents a fully open or closed gate from moving while a vehicle  
is inside the arc of a swing gate.  
Loop detector: An electronic device that is activated by a loop sensor sensing a metallic object.  
Master/Slave: A synchronized system containing a pair of gate operators.  
Maglock: An electric magnet which is used to secure the closed gate.  
Power Fail Option: A battery backup system which opens or closes the gate at power outage.  
Pulley: A grooved wheel which transfers power via a belt.  
Reclose Timer: An electronic timer which closes the fully open gate automatically.  
Retry: A condition at which the stopped gate resumes its course automatically after the occurrence of
