All-O-Matic SL-45 DC PRO Manuals & Support

All-O-Matic SL-45DC

The All-O-Matic SL-45 DC PRO is a 24 VDC slide gate operator for residential gates up to 30 ft and 800 lb. A brushless motor on a planetary gearbox drives #41 chain at 6 to 12 in per second.

The gearbox is back-drivable, so the gate pushes open by hand in a power failure. Two 7 Ah batteries give about 250 cycles on a 600 lb gate.

Identify your model

The model and serial number are on the label inside the control box. DC PRO units have the ALL-BLDC PRO board with an LCD display. Earlier DC units have an LED-only board; use the earlier board manual below for those.

Troubleshooting

The ALL-BLDC PRO control board has an LCD and input LEDs. Note which LEDs are on before you change any settings.

Gate does not run and the ALARM LED is on

  • The gate hit an obstruction twice before it reached full close, and the operator shut down.
  • Press the red RESET button next to the radio connector, then check that the gate is not bound up or jammed.
  • Retest the ERD (obstruction) sensitivity after you clear the cause.

Gate does not run

  • STOP LED on: the STOP input is open. It is a normally closed input, so check the device or the jumper.
  • MON_FAULT LED on: a monitored photo eye or edge is missing or faulty. The gate then runs only on constant pressure.

Opening or closing LED is on but the gate does not move

  • If the AC PWR LED blinks, replace the fuse at the bottom right of the board.
  • Check that the gate moves freely and the limits are set correctly.
  • Check that the motor harness is plugged in tight with no loose wires.

MODE LED blinks

  • 1 blink every 2 seconds: motor sensor feedback problem. Check the motor harness.
  • 2 blinks: motor overload.
  • 3 blinks: the gate is jammed.

No power or slow gate

  • AC PWR_ON LED off: check main power, the AC power switch and the 10 A fuse on the EMI board. If the fuse blows again, check the bridge rectifier.
  • Gate runs slow: set the variable speed to 100%, then relearn the soft stop. Put the gate on the closed limit, press and release RESET, and run one full cycle without stopping.

Common questions

UL 325 (2018) boards need monitored entrapment devices for the open and close directions. If a device is missing or faulty, the MON_FAULT LED lights and the gate runs only on constant pressure. Wire monitored photo eyes or edges, then press RESET.

The gearbox is back-drivable. With the power off, push the gate open by hand.

It uses two 12 V, 7 Ah batteries in the control box. Check battery voltage on the LCD, and replace both batteries together when they no longer hold a charge.

The operator shuts down after two obstructions before full close. Clear the obstruction, then press the RESET button next to the radio connector.
