IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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.
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.
A secondary entrapment device such as loop detectors, edge switches, and beam
detectors are highly recommended and required to meet the UL325 standard.
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 7200ETL Slide Gate Operator is designed to handle a slide gate
up to 32 feet in total length (accomodates a 30 foot drive) and 1,000 Lbs. 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 sealed battery (33
ampere hour minimum) 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
(Electrical battery chargers should have a class 2 transformer rating).
If a trickle charger is used and a standard electrical outlet is 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.

Programming Current Sensing
The 835/836 control boards incorporate a safety feature that will put the operator into a hard shutdown mode if the control board detects a current sense
two consecutive times during a cycle. This hard shutdown condition can only
be reset by shorting the FIREBOX or UL connectors on the left side of the
control board to ground. This condition may also be reset by pressing the
HARD SHUTDOWN RESET button located toward the upper right hand corner of the control board. If a firebox is used in the installation, The firebox
door (optional) should be opened and closed to reset the control board.
The following instructions must be followed at installation for proper safety assurance.
All limits should be set before beginning this procedure.
This new procedure applies to revision 31 or higher firmware.
1. Press and hold the LED ENABLE button for five seconds. The STOP LED will blink
indicating that the board is in learn mode.
3. Cycle gate for 3 full cycles. The STOP LED will stop blinking indicating that the board
is now ready for normal operation
4. Test the auto reverse sensitivity to ensure maximum safety protection. The current
sensitivity adjustment pot may be adjusted to decrease or increase sensitivity.

TROUBLESHOOTING
The Apollo 835/836 board is the standard board in all ETL compliant Apollo Gate Operators. Single gate systems use the 835 board (distinguished by MASTER and EMERGENCY BYPASS modular receptacles) and DUAL gate systems use the 836 board
(distinguished by MASTER, SLAVE and EMERGENCY BYPASS receptacles). The 836
board may be used in single gate applications by simply turning PROGRAM SWITCH #3
to the OFF position and only using the MASTER receptacle of the board. Apollo 7000
ETL and 7100 ETL systems use a Stature Electric direct current motor while the Commercial 7200 ETL and 7300 ETL use a Bison direct current motor. Both motors are similar in design and thus trouble shooting for all of the slide gate systems is covered in one
manual. Keep in mind that SLIDE GATE operators do NOT utilize the “SMART ACTUATOR” feature of the 835/836 board so Program switch #10 must ALWAYS be in the OFF
position. Trouble Shooting the Apollo 7000/7100/7200/7300 ETL systems:
1.

Check your battery! The battery in your gate operator is the power source for the
entire system. If it is not adequately charged, the system will not operator properly.
Test the battery by checking the voltage with a volt-meter while the battery is under load (gate operating). For AC charged systems – unplug the battery charger
before load testing battery. Battery voltage should be 11.5 volt DC or higher while
the operator is running (battery under load).
Program Switch Settings: At the upper center of the board there are 10 program
switches. These switches enable and disable certain features of the Apollo system. DEFAULT setting of these switches is as follows: SINGLE GATE – 1,2,3,5
ON (all others OFF) DUAL GATE – 1,2,5 ON (all others OFF)
LED ENABLE BUTTON: On the right side of the board – half way down is the LED
ENABLE button. Pressing this button once and releasing it “enables” the LEDs on
the board for approximately 15 minutes. When the LEDs are enabled – the “STOP”
light should always be lit on the left side of the board. Other LEDs may be lit as
well depending on the status of the operator. If the gate(s) are in the OPEN position, the OPEN limit indicator(s) should be lit. If the gate(s) are CLOSED, the
CLOSED limit indicator(s) should be lit. (The OPEN and CLOSED LEDs should
never be on at the same time) Any LEDs that are lit on the left side of the board or
at the lower right corner of the board (except the STOP LED) indicate a TRIGGER
from an accessory device connected at that location. Devices connected where an
LED is lit should be removed before further testing is done. After the system is
made operational – these devices may be reconnected one at a time. Check for
proper system operation after each connection.
Current Sensitivity: At the top center of the board is the “Current Sensitivity” adjustment. It adjusts the amount of force the operator will exert before it senses an obstruction. As the wheel is turned counter clockwise, the operator will reverse more
easily. As the wheel is turned clockwise, the operator will push harder. Any time
the system “CURRENT SENSES” it will stop and reverse for two (2) seconds. If
the system “CURRENT SENSES” a second time before fully opening or closing –
it will again reverse for two (2)_seconds and then go into a HARD SHUTDOWN
(see below). Sensitivity should be set to a level that is sufficiently strong to open
and close the gate in all conditions – yet still sensitive enough to be safe. A good
starting point is the one o’clock position.

Activating the system: A momentary connection between activation inputs and ground
(GND) is how the system is activated. At the upper left and bottom right of the board
are terminals marked INP or INPUT. These terminals - when momentarily shorted to
ground (GND) - will open, stop and close the gate with each activation. The button on
the side of the box (swing gates ONLY) is connected to these terminals and may be
used to activate the gate when the key is in the horizontal position. On our newest
boards there is an “OPERATE” button at the upper left area of the board that may be
used in the same manner.
HARD SHUTDOWN: If the system has encountered an obstruction two times before
fully opening or closing – the HARD SHUTDOWN LED (upper right of board) will begin flashing – indicating a Hard Shutdown situation. Check to see that any obstructions are removed from the gates path and then press the “HARD SHUTDOWN RESET” button to restart the system.
Left Hand / Right Hand Operation: All APOLLO Slide Gates are shipped from the factory wired to close to the left (when looking out of the property). It is suggested to install and adjust the operator as it comes from the factory – then re-wire the system if
necessary. The easiest way to determine if your system requires re-wiring is to use
the LED Enable button. Once the LEDs are enabled, the OPEN LIMIT light should
come on in the open position and the CLOSED LIMIT light should come on when the
gate is closed. Should these be backwards – make the following changes: If the operator has a left/right input A/input B, move plug to other input. From the MASTER
plug – there are five wires going to a terminal strip… If operator does not have input
A/input B board, reverse the RED with the BLACK - and – reverse the ORANGE with
the WHITE. To verify that the wiring has been changed correctly: Manually move the
gate to the mid-way position and plug the main harness into the EMERGENCY BYPASS receptacle – the gate should OPEN. If it closes – the RED and BLACK motor
wires must be reversed. Once it is verified that the EMERGENCY BYPASS does open
the gate – then check the limit switch wiring. Dis-engage the mechanical release and
open the gate fully – verify the OPEN LIMIT led is on. Close the gate fully – verify the
CLOSED LIMIT led. If the limits are backwards – reverse the ORANGE and WHITE
limit wires.
Dual Gate Systems: Test dual gate systems individually. Turn program switch #3 ON
(disables SLAVE side of board) and test actuators one at a time using MASTER side
of board only. Confirm proper operation of each actuator. If both test 100% - then test
together by connecting both actuators and turning program switch #3 to the OFF position.
EMERGENCY BYPASS: At the bottom left of the board is the EMERGENCY BYPASS
receptacle. Plugging the operator harness into this receptacle will OPEN the gate
ONLY! It is intended to open the gate(s) should other methods fail. Note that if the motor draws more than 15 amps of current the fuse above the receptacle will blow. Also,
the gate operator will not stop by its self at the open position. The plug must be removed to stop the gate. (This is also a handy way to test that the current consumption
of the motor is within the normal limits)
FIRMWARE: In the upper right area of the board there is a micro-processor that has a
white label on it. This is the “FIRMWARE” of the system. Currently we are using firmware version V31.00.06. For troubleshooting versions of the firmware earlier than
V31.00.00 consult your original instructions that were included with your system. Systems that are out of warranty may be upgraded to newer version firmware for a nominal fee.
