WARNING -To reduce the risk of injury or death:
•READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
•Installation should be performed by a professional installer.
•Required welding should be performed by a qualified welder.
•Should electricity be required, use a certified electrician only.
•Any device that requires 120 Volts AC should be U.L. approved.
•Review with the owner all safety concerns including:
⇒Do not operate the gate unless area around gate is in full view.
⇒Never let children operate or play with gate controls. Keep the remote control
away from children.
⇒Always keep people and objects away from the gate. NO ONE SHOULD CROSS
THE PATH OF THE MOVING GATE.
⇒Periodically test the obstruction sensitivity to assure safe and proper
operation. Do not test sensitivity by standing between the gate and the hinge or
stop post.
⇒Do not allow children to play with the gate controls.
⇒The “CAUTION AUTOMATIC GATE” signs should be clearly visible from both
sides of the gate.
⇒Always insure that the gate has closed securely before leaving area.
⇒Arrange with local fire and law enforcement for emergency access.
•Use the emergency release only when the gate is not moving.
•Use safety devices such as loop detectors, edge switches, and beam detectors
whenever possible.
•Install control devices such as keypads far enough away (5 feet or further) from any
moving parts of the operator and gate to prevent possible injury.
•Do not install control box where the gate can come in contact with person using the
push button on side of control box.
•Always disconnect the battery or power source when making adjustments or repairs to
any part of the gate or operator.
•All rollers should be covered to prevent injury.
•KEEP GATES PROPERLY MAINTAINED. Read the owner’s manual. Have a qualified
service person make repairs to gate hardware.
•The entrance is for vehicles only. Pedestrians must use separate entrance.
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 limit of
travel, retest the gate operator. Failure to adjust and retest the gate operator properly can
increase the risk of injury or death.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

APPLICATIONS
The Apollo Model 7100ETL Slide Gate Operator is designed to handle a slide gate
up to 23 feet in total length (accomodates a 20 foot drive). A professional fence or
gate dealer is recommended to assure proper installation.Apollo Gate Operators
are available only through qualified dealers with an outstanding reputation in the
fence and gate industry. These dealers will be able to recommend the proper
equipment for particular applications. Apollo Gate Operators are 12 Volt DC
(Direct Current) powered. A 12 Volt marine type battery is recommended. There are
several advantages with 12 Volt DC systems:
•Low voltage virtually eliminates risk of electrical shock.
•Battery powered operators provide up to 200 operations in the event of
power outages.
•The battery may be recharged with a trickle charger or by solar energy
(eliminating the need for costly trenching to remote entrances).
If a trickle charger is used and a standard electrical outletis not readily available, a
licensed electrician will be required for proper electrical hook up.
The following table should be used as a guide for capacity of operation of operators
only, additional options may reduce the the daily usage. Please note that the charge
capability of solar panels will vary with different geographical locations.

PRE-INSTALLATION CHECKLIST
The following checklist should be used before beginning installation:
•Verify that the proper operator has been selected for this application.
•Verify proper installation and operation of the gate.
1. Are all rollers covered with a protective housing?
2. Are the rollers servicable?
3. Does the gate roll free and level?
4. Will the gate require a locking device?
5. Are the main posts sturdy enough to handle the gate & operator?
•Determine the general location of the operator, chian brackets, and solar
panel (if used).
1. Is there a suitable location for the operator?
2.Can the solar panel (if used) be mounted in an unobstructed area facing
south?
3. Will additional solar panel cable be required?
4. Is electricity available (if required)?
•Consider safety and access options. Recommend if needed.
1. Will there be chidren or animals in the area?
2. Are safety loops, edge switches, or photo beam detectors required?
3. How can the gate be opened in emergencies?
4. How will visitors enter and exit?
5. Will vehicles (and trailers) have sufficient room off roadway to operate any
control devices such as keypads?

In harder soil or rock, pilings may be preferred (Figure C).
Conduit requirements should be considered in the planning stage. If electrical power is required, a separate conduit should be
installed for electrical only. A certified electrician should be consulted for the proper conduit material (Figure D & E).
