SOFT START / SOFT STOP
The GTO/PRO SL-5100 and GTO/PRO SL-6100 units have a soft start and soft stop feature that minimizes wear on
mechanical and electrical components. The inverter regulates motor voltage to slowly start the gate, steadily increase
gate speed, and then slowly decrease gate speed before it stops. No adjustment of gate acceleration and deceleration
rates is necessary.

BATTERY BACK-UP
In the event of a power failure, the battery back-up function will automatically switch on. The motor will run at

speed to indicate that normal AC power has failed. All operator features, safety devices, and accessories that
are DC powered through the operator control board, will continue to function normally. During normal
operation (i.e., the operator is driven with AC power) the charging circuit maintains the charge of the two back-up
batteries.

The batteries can perform up to 200 gate cycles before completely discharging. When AC power is restored, the back-
up batteries will drop off-line automatically. There is no need to reset the operator by turning the power switch OFF
then back ON.

The operator ON/OFF switch functions as a single pole, double throw. This means when the operator is shut down
with the switch, the battery back-up function will also be shut down.

ADVANCED CONTROL BOARD FEATURES
The GTO/PRO SL-5100 and GTO/PRO SL-6100 have two capabilities beyond the basic SL-5000 and SL-6000 units.
