NOTES
1. Disconnecting the STOP terminal from the COMMON terminal stops the gate and prevents all
commands from having any effect. Manual Open does not activate the Reclose Timer.
2. If gate(s) are used for bi-directional traffic, the Exit Loop should be a directional loop detector.
3. Inside and Outside Interrupt Loops:
♦ For maximum safety, Inside and Outside Interrupt loops require separate loop detectors.
♦ If only one loop detector is used, the Outside loop must also be connected to the Inside loop
detector.
♦ To enhance system safety in Bi-Parting and Bi-Parting Latch Master/Slave systems, the Interrupt
loops, Shadow loops and Interrupt Bar switches may be connected to both gates. If this is done,
when connecting the two control boards, do not interchange input and common terminals. If
terminals are interchanged, inputs will not be detected and controller boards may be damaged.
See Installation and Operation of Master/Slave Systems for X1 Seriex Gate Operators, Document
Number 6001376.
4. If AC power to the controller board is cut off, the battery will retain the correct time and date.
M. BASIC GATE OPERATOR PROGRAMMING
Even if you plan to program the gate operator by telephone, you may want to enter some immediate
instructions during installation. The following list of instructions will help you set basic controls so the gate will
operate properly until you have time for full programming, either directly or by telephone. For complete
programming instructions, refer to the enclosed manual "SL 1000, SW 2000, BG 3000 and BG 3100-X1
Programming (-73 Bd),” Doc. No. 6001312.
To access programming mode: enter !!! 000000 (3 asterisks, 6 zeroes)
To program a command: a) enter step number b) enter required data c) enter # (pound sign)
To exit programming mode: enter 00# (2 zeroes, 1 pound sign)

! IMPORTANT NOTE: BARRIER GATE BACKUP DISTANCES
Slide gates move at about one foot per second, so backup distances (Obstruction Sense, Overload
Sense, and Safety Bar Backup) are easy to enter. To move the gate one foot, you enter 12 inches.
Barrier gates, however, move in degrees per second, so it is the length of the gate that determines how
far the edge of the gate moves each second. As a result, entering backup distances for barrier gates is
different than for slide gates. Use the following table to enter barrier gate backup distances:
