I M P O R T A N T N O T I C E IMPORTANT! Because gate coasting distance varies with temperature, Elite DOES NOT recommend the installation of a catch post. This could cause the gate to collide with the post.
S A F E L Y O P E R A T I N G G A T E Owners Must Never Let Pedestrians Cross the Path of a Moving Gate! CAUTION Owners Must Never Mount Any Gate Operating Devices Accessible In Between the Gate and the Wall! CAUTION CAUTION Owners Must Never Mount Any Gate Operating Devices Accessible Through the Gate!
C O N F I G U R A T I O N A N D S P E C I F I C A T I O N S Elite's Recommended Gate Setup Configuration Warning Signs on Both Sides of Gate Guide Rollers 3" Maximum Picket Width 2"x 2" Mesh Wire Across Entire Gate Guide Rollers Over-Travel Stops on Both Ends of Gate Rail Steel V-Groove, High Speed Ball Bearing Wheels Warning Sign Clearly Visible on Gate Operator 18 VAC Plug-In Transformer, for Each Gate Operator Reinforced Concrete to Bolt Operator on U.L.
R E A D E N T I R E O W N E R S M A N U A L B E F O R E I N S TA L L AT I O N Model: Robo Slide DO NOT Use for For Single Home Applications. Apartment or Condominium Applications. PLEASE DO NOT REPAIR ME!...UNLESS YOU ARE AN AUTHORIZED SERVICE TECHNICIAN! Warnings and Precautions CAUTION 1. Do not tighten chain too tight 2. Use proper type of wheels - only 4" steel wheels with high speed ball bearings 3. Do not use a 12V transformer - use only 18 VAC 2.0 Amp 4.
S T E P B Y S T E P I N S T A L L A T I O N STEP 2: Mounting Operator Pour concrete bed for Robo Slide. Minimum size of bed is 20" x 15" x 20"d. Suggested installation for bolts is 1/2" x 3 1/2" (for red-head fastener).
S T E P B Y S T E P I N S T A L L A T I O N STEP 4: Gate Movement Direction Plug in the limit/motor harness wires to the left socket (#1) if your gate, from the inside of the property, opens to the left and closes to the right. Plug into the right socket (#2) if the gate opens to the right and closes to the left from the inside of the property.
S T E P B Y S T E P I N S T A L L A T I O N STEP 5: DC Power Supply Connection Use Elite's optional 18 VAC plug-in transformer (Elite Part # A POW-1). Hook up the transformer to 115 VAC. Use two, low voltage, 14 gauge / 300watt direct burial, landscape lighting cables. Hook these wires to the two yellow wires from the control board to the plug-in transformer. CHECK CHARGINGFUSE BOARD POWER POWER SYSTEM ON J2 ALARM SENSOR CAUTION Do Not use solar panel and plug-in transformer at the same time.
S T E P B Y S T E P I N S T A L L A T I O N STEP 6: Optional Solar Panel Connection If you use Elite's optional solar panel (Elite Part # Solar 3). Connect the two wires from the solar panel to the two yellow wires on the control board. Sunlight will energize the batteries through the solar panel. This solar panel will charge up to 2800 Mamp/Hr in optimum conditions & 500 Mamp/Hr in light overcast conditions. For detailed specifications consult the Solar 3 Installation sheet.
S T E P B Y S T E P I N S T A L L A T I O N STEP 7: Terminal Connections The radio receiver must be 12 VDC only (Elite Part # A 1099-12V). If you want to use safety or exit loops, you must use 12 VDC loop detectors only (Elite Part # A 23). The hook-ups for the radio receiver are as follows: Strike open wires go to 8 and 9 on terminal. Power supply goes to terminal 10 (positive +) and terminal 8 (negative -). Connections for other devices are shown below.
S T E P B Y S T E P I N S T A L L A T I O N STEP 8: Adjusting Gate Travel Distance Adjustment is done by limit switches which are located on the Robo Slide chassis. By pressing the plate down and spinning the adjustment nuts, set your limit switches for open and close cycles. Limit Switches Each notch of the nut indicates an estimated 1 inch of gate travel STEP 9: Timer If you want to use the automatic close for the gate system the timer switch should be put in the “ON” position.
S T E P B Y S T E P I N S T A L L A T I O N STEP 10: Two-Way Adjustable Reversing Sensor There is a blue pot with a white screw adjustment on the upper portion of the control board marked “REVERSE SENSOR”. Do Not Touch Alarm Sensor blue pot. The level of sensitivity has to do with the weight of the gate and the condition of installation. Too sensitive = if the gate stops or reverses by itself. Not sensitive enough = if the gate hits an object and does not stop or reverse.
“ O P T I O N A L ” I N P U T B O A R D The optional board allows extra control of the gate, is available only from Elite Access Systems. Installation is simple; just clip the optional board to the J2 slot on the top of the control board. Below lists the function of each pin.
M A S T E R A N D S L A V E W I T H T I M E R To use the master/slave option with Robo Slide, you must purchase the Optional Input Board (Elite Part # Q203) and connect it to the J2 slot.

T R O U B L E S H O O T I N G How to Reset the Breaker If all electronic sensors fail or are not adjusted properly due to heavy gates, off-track gate, or obstructed gate path, the breaker will kick-out. Reset the breaker by pressing the reset button located on the bottom left corner of the control board. Always disconnect the battery before resetting the breaker or injury could CAUTION occur as the gate starts.

Possible Solutions: Stuck remote control button. The radio receiver has malfunctioned in the “ON” position.
T R O U B L E S H O O T I N G a n d P A R T S L I S T If you hear a “BEEP” sound, the gate is too heavy. If not check below.
