UL325 ENTRAPMENT PROTECTION REQUIREMENTS
SAFETY ACCESSORY SELECTION
All UL325 compliant LiftMaster gate operators will accept external
entrapment protection devices to protect people from motorized
gate systems. UL325 requires that the type of entrapment
protection correctly matches each gate application. Below are the
six types of entrapment protection systems recognized by UL325
for use on this operator.

GATE OPERATOR ENTRAPMENT PROTECTION

UL325
Installation
Class

ENTRAPMENT PROTECTION TYPES

Type A: Inherent obstruction sensing system, self-contained
within the operator. This system must sense and initiate
the reverse of the gate within two seconds of contact
with a solid object.
Type B1: Connections provided for a non-contact device, such as
a photoelectric eye can be used as a secondary
protection.
Type B2: Connections provided for a contact sensor. A contact
device such as a gate edge can be used for secondary
protection.
Type C: Inherent adjustable clutch or pressure relief valve.
Type D: Connections provided for a control
requiring continuous pressure to
operate the operator open and close.
Type E: Built-in audio alarm. Examples
include sirens, horns or buzzers.

The chart above illustrates the entrapment protection

requirements for each of the four UL325 classes.
In order to complete a proper installation you must satisfy the
entrapment protection chart shown above. That means that
the installation must have one primary means of entrapment
protection and one independent secondary means of
entrapment protection. Both primary and secondary
entrapment protection methods must be designed, arranged
or configured to protect against entrapments in both the open
and close directions of gate travel.
For Example: For a slide gate system that is installed on a
single-family residence (UL325 Class I) you must provide the
following: As your primary type of entrapment protection you
must provide Type A inherent (built into the operator)
entrapment sensing and at least one of the following as your
secondary entrapment protection: Type B1- Non-contact
sensors such as photoelectric eyes, Type B2- Contact sensors
such as gate edges or Type D- Constant pressure control.

SAFETY INSTALLATION INFORMATION

1. Vehicular gate systems provide convenience and security. Gate systems are comprised of many component parts. The gate
operator is only one component. Each gate system is specifically designed for an individual application.
2. Gate operating system designers, installers and users must take into account the possible hazards associated with each individual
application. Improperly designed, installed or maintained systems can create risks for the user as well as the bystander. Gate
systems design and installation must reduce public exposure to potential hazards.
3. A gate operator can create high levels of force in its function as a component part of a gate system. Therefore, safety features
must be incorporated into every design. Specific safety features include:
Gate Edges
Guards for Exposed Rollers
Photoelectric Sensors
Screen Mesh
Vertical Posts
Instructional and Precautionary Signage
4. Install the gate operator only when:
a. The operator is appropriate for the construction and the usage class of the gate.
b. All openings of a horizontal swing gate are guarded or screened from the bottom of the gate to a minimum of 4' (1.2 m) above
the ground to prevent a 2-1/4" (6 cm) diameter sphere from passing through the openings anywhere in the gate, and in that
portion of the adjacent fence that the gate covers in the open position.
c. All exposed pinch points are eliminated or guarded, and guarding is supplied for exposed rollers.
5. The operator is intended for installation only on gates used for vehicles. Pedestrians must be supplied with a separate access
opening. The pedestrian access opening shall be designed to promote pedestrian usage. Locate the gate such that persons will not
come in contact with the vehicular gate during the entire path of travel of the vehicular gate.
6. The gate must be installed in a location so that enough clearance is supplied between the gate and adjacent structures when
opening and closing to reduce the risk of entrapment. Swinging gates shall not open into public access areas.
7. The gate must be properly installed and work freely in both directions prior to the installation of the gate operator.
8. Controls intended for user activation must be located at least six feet (6') away from any moving part of the gate and where the
user is prevented from reaching over, under, around or through the gate to operate the controls. Outdoor or easily accessible
controls shall have a security feature to prevent unauthorized use.
9. The Stop and/or Reset (if provided separately) must be located in the line-of-sight of the gate. Activation of the reset control shall
not cause the operator to start.
10. A minimum of two (2) WARNING SIGNS shall be installed, one on each side of the gate where easily visible.
11. For a gate operator utilizing a non-contact sensor:
a. Reference owners manual regarding placement of non-contact sensor for each type of application.
b. Care shall be exercised to reduce the risk of nuisance tripping, such as when a vehicle trips the sensor while the gate is still
moving.
c. One or more non-contact sensors shall be located where the risk of entrapment or obstruction exists, such as the perimeter
reachable by a moving gate or barrier.
12. For a gate operator utilizing a contact sensor such as an edge sensor:
a. One or more contact sensors shall be located where the risk of entrapment or obstruction exists, such as at the leading edge,
trailing edge and post mounted both inside and outside of a vehicular horizontal slide gate.
b. One or more contact sensors shall be located at the bottom edge of a vehicular vertical lift gate.
c. A hard wired contact sensor shall be located and its wiring arranged so the communication between the sensor and the gate
operator is not subject to mechanical damage.
d. A wireless contact sensor such as the one that transmits radio frequency (RF) signals to the gate operator for entrapment
protection functions shall be located where the transmission of the signals are not obstructed or impeded by building structures,
natural landscaping or similar obstruction. A wireless contact sensor shall function under the intended end-use conditions.
e. One or more contact sensors shall be located on the inside and outside leading edge of a swing gate. Additionally, if the bottom
edge of a swing gate is greater than 6" (152 mm) above the ground at any point in its arc of travel, one or more contact sensors
shall be located on the bottom edge.
f. One or more contact sensors shall be located at the bottom edge of a vertical barrier (arm).

Gate Edge on Fence

Post for Open Direction

Gate Edge on
Rear of Gate for
Open Direction

WARNING
Injuries occur when people get their hands or feet caught
between the top or bottom of the gate and the gate roller.
These potential pinch-points should be guarded against at
ALL times. Enclosed style gate tracks are available for
refitting of these rollers from many fence suppliers. Also,
roller guards are available for installing over the rollers.
UL325 requires that, when used, contact sensors shall be
located at the leading edge, trailing edge, and be post
mounted both inside and outside of a vehicular horizontal
slide gate. Non-contact sensors such as photo eyes MUST
protect during both open and close gate cycles.
Injuries occur when people put their hands and arms
through openings in the grill while the gate is operating.
They cannot retract their arm and it gets caught between the
moving gate grill and the stationary fence post or fence. This
potential hazard can be averted by placing a 4' (1.2 m)
screen mesh on the gate to prevent access through
openings anywhere the gate may travel. See Safety Brochure
for details.
To prevent entrapment injuries, mount controls at least
6' (1.8 m) from the gate or ANY moving parts of the gate.

WARNING

Gate

To prevent damage to the operator or gate, DO NOT drive the

limit (nuts) actuators on the shaft past their normal positions.

Inside

1. Mount gate brackets to the vertical front and rear posts of the
gate (Figure 1).
2. Remove the operator cover or open access door.
3. Locate and engage the manual disconnect and lock it in place
(refer to page 12).
4. Connect chain take-up bolt to the end of the chain and attach
to the rear gate bracket (Figure 2).
5. Ensure that the drive and idler sprockets are in line with each
other. Thread the chain through the plastic chain guide, around
drive and idler sprockets, and then through the second plastic
chain guide toward front gate bracket (Figure 3).
6. Adjust the chain to proper length and attach second take-up
bolt to chain end. Secure the take-up bolt to the front gate
bracket as shown.

ATTENTION

Adjust nuts on chain take-up bolts to remove chain slack.

A general rule of thumb is to leave a maximum of 1" (2.5 cm)
of chain slack for every 10' (3.1 m) of chain length. Do not
overtighten chain.

AVERTISSEMENT

NOTE ABOUT SOME TYPES OF CANTILEVER GATES:

With some cantilever gates over 20' (6.1 m) long, you may need
to add a brace along the length of the gate to prevent the gate
from bowing when chain is tightened. This may also be required
on some styles of gates that are constructed out of aluminum.
If positioned properly, this brace can also be used as a chain
support.

re-engage the manual disconnect.

To reduce the risk of SEVERE INJURY or DEATH:

Disconnect power BEFORE performing ANY adjustments.

CAUTION

RPM SENSOR (HALL EFFECT) ADJUSTMENT

NOTE: Normally the RPM Sensor (Hall Effect) does not need
adjustment, but may go out of alignment due to shipping
vibration or rough handling.
These operators use an internal entrapment protector system.
This system consists of the control board, magnet, and RPM
sensor (Hall Effect). It may become necessary to adjust the
sensor for correct alignment. To do so please perform the
Vertical Adjustment Screws
following steps:
Horizontal Adjustment Screws
1. The sensor must be
centered over the magnet
wheel. Adjust with
horizontal screws.

MASTER/SECOND SYSTEMS
Dual Gate Communications
The control board is capable of running the operator in a master
or second mode depending on (S4) switch setting.
Before initiating any command the master unit queries for the
presence of a second unit for a time period of one second. If
the master gets no response the operator will operate in a stand
alone mode.
NOTE: For single unit applications, a jumper must be placed
between 11 and 12 of the field wiring terminal block. In this mode
no further communications will take place during travel. If the
master detects the presence of a second unit the master will
continue to query the second unit during travel. The second unit
will send a response to the master for every query. The second
operator will stop if there is a period of one second or more of no
communications.
When two operators are connected in dual gate configuration
accessories may be connected to either the master or second.
NOTE: Do not run Master/Second communication wiring in the
same conduit as the power and control wiring. The Second unit
will require a normally close stop circuit for proper system
operation. After Master/Second wiring has been completed and

Earth Ground Rod

(One side only)

EARTH GROUND ROD INSTALLATION

WARNING

Proper grounding gives an electrical charge, such as from an

electrical static discharge or a near lightning strike, a path from
which to dissipate its energy safely into the earth.
Without this path, the intense energy generated by lightning could
be directed towards the gate operator. Although nothing can
absorb the tremendous power of a direct lightning strike, proper
grounding can protect the gate operator in most cases.
The earth ground rod must be located within 3 feet from the gate
operator. Use the proper type earth ground rod for your local
area.
The ground wire must be a single, whole piece of wire. Never
splice two wires for the ground wire. If you should cut the ground
wire too short, break it, or destroy its integrity, replace it with a
single wire length.

To AVOID damaging gas, power or other underground utility

lines, contact underground utility locating companies BEFORE
digging more than 18" (46 cm) deep.

SEQUENCED ACCESS MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (SAMS)

The Sequenced Access Management System or SAMS allows the customer more control when managing vehicular entrances to areas
such as apartment complexes, businesses and gated communities. The basic concept of the system is that traffic is controlled by two
gates installed in tandem, a fast moving gate such as a barrier gate operator and a slower moving more secure or ornamental gate
such as a single or pair of slide/swing gate operator. The design of this gate system balances the demands of speed during high traffic
periods with security during low traffic periods. Barrier gates typically have the fastest open times of the many gate operator types and
the slide or swing gates allow you to effectively seal off the perimeter of the complex you are planning to secure.
NOTE: Connect all entry devices to the slide or swing gate. If using a device, such as a 7-day timer, to latch the slide or swing gate
open during high traffic times, connect the devices N/O relay output to the boards Interrupt (safety) loop input. Once the device
activates the Interrupt (safety) loop input, the next vehicle to access the SAMS system will lock the gate in the open position until the
device deactivates. When the device deactivates, the Timer-to-Close will automatically close and secure the gate.
SAMS OPERATION
1. When an authorized vehicle accesses the gate system, the
SAM system responds by first opening the gate farthest from
the vehicle, the swing or slide gate.
2. Once the swing or slide gate is open, the barrier gate begins
its open cycle.
3. Once the barrier is open the vehicle may pass through the
SAM system. At this point you have two options in how you
would like to initiate the SAM systems closure. You may
choose to:
a) Use a Timer-to-Close system to automatically close the
barrier gate after a preset amount of time or,
b) Use a loop system to close the barrier gate after the vehicle
has passed through the SAM system.
4. Once the barrier gate is closed the slide or swing gate will
activate its internal Timer-to-Close and begin closing.
5. If another authorized vehicle accesses the SAM system before
the slide or swing begins to close the barrier will open and
allow the vehicle to pass through the SAM system.
6. If another authorized vehicle accesses the SAM system during
the slide or swing gates closing cycle the SAM system will
reopen the slide or swing gate. Once the slide or swing gate
reaches the open position the barrier will then open to allow
the vehicle to pass through the SAM system.
7. If no other authorized vehicles access the SAM system the
swing or slide gate will close followed by the barrier.

SAMS WIRING
1. Install conduit between the BG770 and the SL585/595 for
SAMS control wiring.
2. Run a 4-conductor cable in the conduit between the BG770
SL585/595.
3. Locate the SAMS relay terminals (J5) on the control board in
the SL585/595 and locate the auxiliary limit switch in the
BG770.
4. Attach a wire from the SAMS relay terminal (J5) on the control
board to terminal 1 on the BG770 terminal strip.
5. Attach a wire from the SAMS relay terminal (J5) on the control
board to terminal 3 on the BG770 barrier gates terminal strip.
6. Attach a wire from terminal 5 of the SL585/595 accessory
wiring terminal block to the common (COM) on the auxiliary
limit switch in the barrier gate.
7. Attach a wire from terminal 8 of the SL585/595 accessory
wiring terminal block to the normally open (N/O) on the
auxiliary limit switch.
8. Test for correct functionality of the SAM system.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

To reduce the risk of SEVERE INJURY or DEATH:

1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
2. NEVER let children operate or play with gate controls.
Keep the remote control away from children.
3. ALWAYS keep people and objects away from the gate.
NO ONE SHOULD CROSS THE PATH OF THE MOVING
GATE.
4. Test the gate operator monthly. The gate MUST reverse
on contact with a rigid object or stop when an object
activates the non-contact sensors. After adjusting the
force or the limit of travel, retest the gate operator.
Failure to adjust and retest the gate operator properly
can increase the risk of INJURY or DEATH.

5. Use the emergency release ONLY when the gate is not

moving.
6. KEEP GATES PROPERLY MAINTAINED. Read the
owners manual. Have a qualified service person make
repairs to gate hardware.
7. The entrance is for vehicles ONLY. Pedestrians MUST
use separate entrance.
8. Disconnect ALL power BEFORE performing ANY
maintenance.
9. ALL maintenance MUST be performed by a LiftMaster
professional.

SOLENOID ACTUATED BRAKE

WARNING

The brake minimizes over-travel caused by gate coasting. An

added feature of the brake is to assist in preventing back driving
of the gate. The brake is spring-applied whenever the motor is not
running. Anytime the motor is running, the electric solenoid
physically releases the brake.
A solenoid brake is standard on SL585/595 operators. The brake
is adjusted at the factory and should not need additional
adjustment for the life of the friction pad.
Replace friction pads when necessary. Refer to the illustration for
identification of components for the solenoid type brake system.

To avoid SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY or DEATH disconnect

electric power BEFORE performing ANY adjustments.

CAUTION

Solenoid

FRICTION CLUTCH

Friction
Pads

The friction clutch system is not an automatic reversing device.

It only serves to minimize damage to the gate operator and gate,
and to help minimize vehicle damage. If you need an external
automatic obstruction sensing device, items such as gate edges
and photo beams are available to help protect pedestrians
(page 4).
The clutch mechanism must be adjusted properly. During the
installation of the operator, you must tighten the clutch spring
lock nut so it is tight enough to operate the gate, yet loose
enough so that if the gate meets an obstruction, the clutch will
slip.
1. Loosen set screws of torque adjustment nut on the gear
reducer output shaft.
2. Back off torque nut until there is very little tension on the
Belleville washers.
3. Tighten torque nut gradually until there is just enough tension
to permit the operator to move the gate smoothly through a
complete open/close cycle, but to allow the clutch to slip if the
gate is obstructed.
4. Re-tighten the set screw that is directly over the flat portion of
the shaft.

CONTROL BOARD PROGRAMMING AND FEATURES

MOTOR LEARN FUNCTION (FORCE PROFILE)
This function is preprogrammed at factory. If either board or
motor is replaced, the control board will need to be
reprogrammed to LEARN the specific motor RPM profile of
your operator, the red button S3 is provided for this. This is
important for accurate force control. Failure to do so may result
in improper and unsafe operation.
NOTE: Motor Learn must be performed in stand alone mode.
1. Ensure that the operator remains attached to the gate
throughout the entire process.
2. Press the motor learn button. The yellow LED should start to
flash rapidly.
3. Push and hold down either the open or the close buttons. The
motor will run for a few seconds and then stop. If the LED
goes out the motor is learned. If the unit activates a limit
before completing the learn or some other error occurs the
LED will go back to on continuously. If this happens try
learning while running in the opposite direction.

DIAGNOSTICS (LEDS AND CODES)

There are three diagnostic LEDs. Two red LEDs (OLS, CLS) are
indicators for the open and close limits. The LEDs are illuminated
when the limit switch contacts are closed.
The third amber LED (DIAG) is used to blink out diagnostic
codes. The number is the count of the number of times the LED
is on in an 8 second period. The LED is on for approximately
1/2 second and repeats every second until the number is reached.
There will be a pause following each pulse cycle (1-6 pulses) to
differentiate between the different diagnostic codes.

*Hard inputs include open override, close override and

stop inputs.

RELAY DRIVE TROUBLESHOOTING LEDS

2) Problem in the motor

3) Problem in the contactor

4) Problem in the brake system

FIX
Check the green LED (D17) on control board. If the green LED is off,

check to make sure a stop control has been installed across terminals
TB1-3 and TB1-5 of the terminal strip.
If the yellow LED blinks six times, there is a master/second unit
communication failure. If operator is a single unit, make sure there is
a jumper across terminals TB1-11 and TB1-12. If operator is in a dual
gate configuration, make sure that the communication wiring between
the two units is undamaged and complete.
If the yellow light is solid, the board needs to learn the motor. Follow
the directions on page 24.
If any red LEDs are on, check the corresponding input. An installed
accessory may be wired incorrectly or malfunctioning. Remove the
accessory and test the operator.
If the open or interrupt (safety) loop LED is on, make sure factory
plug-in loop detectors are working properly and appropriate loops are
installed on the loop input terminals.
Stand-Alone Operators: Make sure there is a jumper installed across
the J4 connector.
Master/Second Operation: Make sure that the master/second wiring is
installed correctly and is intact (not damaged).
Verify power supply to operator. It should be within 5% of the
operators rating when running. Make sure that the proper wire gauge
was used for the distance between breaker and operator by consulting
the wiring specifications section on page 8 of this manual.
Measure the voltage at terminals R1 and R2 in the operator. This
voltage should be within 5% of 24 Vac. If the high voltage power is
good and the low voltage power is bad, check to make sure the circuit
fuse is not tripped and that the correct primary tap is used on the
transformer. If fuse and tap are correct, replace the transformer.
If both primary and secondary power is good, check to make sure
that the J2 connector is making good contact with the pins on the
control board. If all is good, replace the control board.
Remove all accessory devices and test the operator. If the contactor

stops chattering, find an alternate power source for some of the

devices.
Verify power supply to operator. It should be within 5% of the
operators rating when running. Make sure that the proper wire gauge
was used for the distance between breaker and operator by consulting
the wiring specifications section on page 8 of this manual.
Measure the incoming line voltage at the units on/off switch as well

as the meter base or sub panel. Make sure there is not a major
change in voltage. The voltage at the operator should be within 5% of
the operators rating when running.
Check the number of amps currently being drawn from the panel.
Make sure that the total power being drawn does not exceed the
panels rating.
Make sure that the proper wire gauge was used for the distance
between breaker and operator by consulting the wiring specifications
section on page 8 of this manual.
Perform a visual inspection of the motor. Examine the motors labels
for any distortion or signs of overheating. Replace the motor if it is
humming, grinding or making excessive noise. NOTE: Repeated
motor problems indicate poor primary power.
Examine the contactor for sparking, smoke or burn marks. Remove
the wires from one side of the contactor, then measure the contact
points for high resistance (above 1 ohm). Replace the contactor.
Make sure that the brake is disengaging when the contactor pulls in
and engaging when the contactor releases. Replace solenoid.

OPERATOR IS NOT
FUNCTIONING PROPERLY

POSSIBLE CAUSE
1) Failure to cycle power after setup
2) Communication wiring may be
damaged or improperly wired for dual
gate operation
3) Master or second unit is not
programmed correctly

FIX
The power to each unit must be cycled in order to initiate proper

master/second communication if the operators were previously in

stand-alone mode.
Make sure that the communication wire that is used is twisted pair
and not run in the same conduit with any power wiring. Failure to do
so will result in interference across the master/second
communication line.
Review program settings page 20 and check both the master and
second for proper programming.

Adjust the clutch so that the operator can move the gate throughout
its travel without slipping but will slip when the gate hits an
obstruction.
Make sure that the brake operates correctly. The brake should
disengage when the contactor activates and engage when the
contactor releases.
Both LEDs will indicate the activation of entrapment protection
devices on terminals TB1-9 and TB1-10 on the control board.
Remove the devices and retest. If the operator now runs without fault,
check those accessories as well as their wiring.
Make sure that the sensor is adjusted so that it is centered over the
limit shafts magnet and is 10-15 thousandths of and inch (business
card thickness) from the magnet.
Replace the sensor if it is adjusted correctly but continues to fail.
Adjust the clutch so that the operator can move the gate throughout

its travel without slipping but will slip when the gate hits an
obstruction.
Make sure that the manual release is not engaged. The operators
manual release, when engaged, will set off the entrapment if the gate
is given a command to move.
If any red LEDs are on, check the corresponding input. An installed

accessory may be wired incorrectly or malfunctioning. Remove the

accessory and test the operator.
If the soft open or interrupt (safety) loop LED is on, make sure
