Platinum Access BLSL840 Slide Gate Operator

This residential/commercial, heavy-duty, slide gate operator is equipped with a powerful, quiet, brushless DC motor, which operates on 24 volt DC power. In addition, this gate operator is built with a long-lasting 7Ah/24V DC battery backup system that keeps the gate operational when AC power is unavailable.

The BLSL840 is the first choice for residential and commercial slide gate applications because of its many features. First, this full feature, state-of-the-art operator is built with a high-efficiency, switching power supply, along with a powerful, ultra-quiet, high-torque, maintenance-free, brushless DC motor. The 120/220VAC power source is connected to a switching power supply, which can output a proper, stable voltage to the gate operator even when the input voltage is fluctuating .

The brushless DC motor does not need brushes replaced like conventional DC operators, so it is practically trouble free! Due to these inherent characteristics, the brushless DC motor lasts up to 10 time longer than the conventional brushed DC motor. A brushless DC motor?s typical life expectancy is 10,000 to 20,000 working hours, compared to the conventional brushed DC motor that has a life expectancy between 2,000 to 5,000 working hours.

Note. This BLSL840 model can operate with a direct solar panel connection as an optional addition. We recommend using a bigger capacity battery like a 12V, 12Ah battery if the operator is used in this fashion.

The operator is also equipped with a built-in 24VDC battery backup system that uses two 12V, 7Ah lead acid batteries. Normally this can supply more than enough power to keep the gate working until the AC Power return.

This operator is designed to operate in any climate:

• It does not require a gearbox or a battery heater to operate above –20°F.
• Temperatures –20°F and –40°F require a battery heater
• Temperatures below –40°F requires a gear box and battery heaters.

The optional chain routing under the sprocket is for extra chain clearance for non-raised pad mounting.

These unique engineering innovations are backed by the safety and reliability of the most advanced control board in the industry to ensure a smooth operation for any Platinum Access Systems operator.

*Note: To be compliant with UL 325 and industry safety guidelines, additional Type B1 (photo eye) and/or Type B2 (sensing edge) entrapment prevention devices must be installed or OPERATOR WILL NOT RUN.
