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 7000ETL Slide Gate Operator is designed to handle a slide gate
up to 22 feet in total length (accomodates a 20 foot drive) and 600 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 33 ampere hour
(minimum) sealed battery is recommended. There are several advantages with 12
Volt DC systems:
•
•
•
Low voltage virtually eliminates risk of electrical shock.
Battery powered operators can 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.

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?

Inside posts
D r i v e w a y
STEP 2. Remove chain cover and front lid. Mount to posts using the four supplied 3” U-bolts
7
STEP 3. Install one of the gate brackets and chain bolts on right side of gate using the supplied
2” U-bolts. Do not tighten at this time.
STEP 4. Attach the chain to the chain bolt using the master chain link.
Adjust the chain bolt to allow for
maximum tightening
Note: The height of
the chain bolt should
align with the bottom
teeth of the idler
sprockets.
8
STEP 5. Thread chain on the sprockets as shown.
Chain should be
level with about a 1
inch lag per 10 feet.
T O P
Chain should be aligned with all sprockets.
STEP 6. (Refer to page 8)
Install the other gate bracket and chain bolt on the left side of the gate.
Determine the required length of chain needed to attach to the chain bolt and still allow adjustment.
Using a chain breaking tool, remove excess chain.
Attach chain to chain bolt.
Tighten all chain brackets and chain bolts. Allow 1 inch of chain lag per 10 feet of chain.

GATE LIMIT SWITCH INSTALLATION
Align each magnet with the
corresponding switch on the
operator for the open and closed
position.
Connect the battery and test for
proper open & close position.
WARNING : If further adjustment is required, always
disconnect battery prior to
relocating the chain magnet.

STEP 7
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 (optional) is used in the installation, the
firebox door 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.
COUNTER CLOCKWISE
CLOCKWISE
More sensitivity
Less sensitivity
Gate is easy to current
sense
Gate is harder to
current sense
8. Refer to the 835/836 Operator Control Board Manual to set other options such as
program switch options and close timer adjustments.
Installation is now complete.
Note: Program switch #9 is no longer functional and the current sense may be readjusted
at any time.

Photo Eye Hookup
Photo eye / safety loop wiring. Connect the positive power wire of the accessory to
12V. Connect the ground wire of the accessory to MAS (upper right area of the
835/836 board). Connect the relay wires of the accessory as normal: COM to GND.
NO to SAFETY (#14) (for a safety device). When the gate operator begins opening
(comes off of the closed limits) the MAS terminal will become a ground and will
complete the flow of power to the accessory. This will power the accessory up and it
will work as normal until the gate gets closed and the MAS terminal switches and the
device will power down.
