Platinum Access BLSL3060 Slide Gate Operator

Heavy-Duty Brushless Automation for 3,000 lb Vehicular Slide Gates

The Platinum Access BLSL3060 is a heavy-duty commercial and industrial slide gate operator built for large vehicular gates, high-traffic entrances, and demanding perimeter access applications. Rated for gates up to 3,000 pounds and 60 feet long, it uses a 24VDC high-torque brushless motor, Size 70 gear reducer, and continuous-duty design to move heavy slide gates at approximately 12 inches per second.

The BLSL3060 is designed for Class I, II, III, and IV vehicular slide gate applications. It is not intended for pedestrian gates. Its dynamic speed control helps maintain consistent gate movement when gate load changes, when operating on an incline, or when the system switches between AC power and battery backup. Soft start and soft stop help reduce stress on the gate, chain, rollers, and drive system during daily operation.

This operator supports 120/220VAC single-phase power and includes a built-in 24VDC battery backup system using two 12V, 33Ah batteries. It can also be configured for direct solar panel input using a 24V solar panel or two 12V solar panels with a minimum 80W capacity. Solar priority power management allows the gate to run from solar power when sunlight is sufficient, helping preserve battery life in properly designed solar installations.

The BLSL3060 includes advanced gate-control functions such as automatic learning with self-sync for primary/secondary installations, adjustable close timer, adjustable leaf delay, fail-safe or fail-secure operation, open-on-power-fail capability, advanced maglock control, dual-output loop detector rack support, controlled photo beam power output for solar installations, surge protection, alarm reset, and a BLGOC-2000 control board with input and output LEDs.
