CAUTIONS AND NOTES
This instruction manual is intended to aid the installer in the overall process
of correct installation at the desired location. Periodically, the manual will illus-
trate “warnings, cautions and notes” which are items the installer should care-
fully read to prevent damage to the gate, gate system or personal injury to
yourself or others.
EXTREMELY IMPORTANT
Anyone who installs, assists with installation or otherwise facilitates the instal-
lation in any manner should thoroughly read and understand this manual in its
entirety before any attempt is made to actually begin the installation process.
ETL DEFINITIONS COMPLIANT TO UL325
Vehicular Slide-Gate Operator (or system) - A vehicular gate operator (or sys-

The new Apollo 8300SL and 8500SL gate operators line of commercial gate
operator builds on the legacy of rugged, reliable ranch and residential gate
controllers offered by Apollo over the last 20 years. With an endurance of
over 500,000 cycles, and a working temperature range from -4°F to 150°F,
these ½ and 1 horsepower systems can safely move gates up to 1,500lbs.
and 35’ in length. An industrial design ensures that the Apollo 8300SL and
8500SL gate operators complement any gate installation and architecture
while providing the safety features that meet or exceed UL325 and UL991

This manual provides documentation that covers the layout, construction,
mechanical and electrical installation, and programming of the Apollo 8300SL
and 8500SL gate operator for a typical installation. Please consult your Apollo

1.1 - Gate controller
The gate controller is a 120VAC powered system consisting of the main
housing, the chassis, a brushed DC motor and drive sprocket, a transformer,
an on-off switch, and the main control board. A key-locked manual release
and adjustable open and close limit switches are located in a weather-tight
enclosure that is accessible at the top of the unit. The main control board
is mounted on a tilt-up frame that is accessed by removing the front cover
(non-sprocket side). An access hole is located at the bottom of the unit for
connection with an electrical conduit.
1.2 - Main control board
The main control board is housed in a protective plastic enclosure that
includes a 2-line LCD and with 5 dedicated buttons and 3 buttons for navi-
gation of the setup, programming, and information menus. Connectors for
power, inputs, and output peripherals are arranged around the edges of the
board and clearly labeled. A plug-in connector is provided for direct installa-
tion of a Nice-brand receiver which can be controlled by up to 1000 transmit-
ters. The O-view programmer with Bluetooth and GSM provides capability to
control and manage the unit via PDA. Connectors for other Nice-brand plug
in accessories include Bluetooth with GSM control for gate management via
PC, PDA, or cell phone. These accessory options enable the Apollo 8300SL
and 8500SL gate operator to expand its capabilities in the future as neces-
sary without requiring any hardware changes.
Dry contact inputs are provided for loop, probe, and photoelectric detectors,

opening and closing. Voltage outputs (+12VDC and +24VDC) are also pro-
vided to power safety and entrapment-prevention devices, and a magnetic
lock if required. Onboard charge control circuitry delivers reliable power to
a backup battery (if installed) and the unit is equipped with input for a solar
panel for self-powered installations.
The main control board 1050 can drive 12VDC or 24VDC motors and accepts
DC input voltage ranging from 10VDC to 35VDC. A 2-line LCD with dedicated
buttons allows the installer to quickly program the 1050 when changes to its
factory-default settings need to be made. A real time clock/calendar enables
programming for scheduled weekly or daily events like opening, closing, or
locking the gate. Gate opening and closing speed, acceleration, soft-start
settings, and reversing force may be set to factory default settings, or indi-
vidually programmed per customized gate installation requirements. Built-in
current sensing enables inherent gate force monitoring and limiting for safety
and an onboard alarm indicates when two sequential obstructions have been
sensed in either direction. The “Learn” function helps the gate installer con-

optimum settings of gate opening and closing speeds, with simple program-
mable adjustments to force and speed settings that may be made with front
panel programming.
