IMPORTANT NOTICES
Vehicular gate systems provide convenience to their users and limit
vehicular traff ic onto your property. These systems can produce high levels
of force; therefore it is important that you are aware of possible hazards
associated with your gate operating system. These hazards may include pinch
points, entrapment, absence of controlled pedestrian access or traffic
backup.
Be sure that the installer has instructed you on the proper operation of the
gate and gate operator system. Be sure that the installer has trained you
about the basic functions of the reversing systems associated with your gate
operating system and how to test them. These include reversing loops,
inherent reversing system, and may include electric edges, photoelectric
cells, or other external devices.
• This Owner's Manual is your property. Keep it in a safe place for future
reference.
• Loops and loop detectors must be installed with this gate operator to
prevent the gate from closing on vehicular traffic.
• The speed limit for vehicular traff ic through the gate area is 5 MPH.
Install speed bumps and signs to keep vehicular traffic from speeding
through the gate area. Failure to adhere to posted speed limits can result
in damage to the' gate, gate operator, and to the vehicle.
• Be sure that all residents are familiar with the proper use of the gate
and gate operator. Be sure that all residents are familiar with the possible
hazards associated with the gate system.
• Be sure that all warning signs are permanently installed on both sides of
the gate in an area where they are fully visible to traffic.
• It is your responsibility to periodically check all reversing devices. If
any of these devices are observed to function improperly, remove the
operator from service immediately and contact your installing or servicing
dealer.
• Follow the recommended maintenance schedule.
• Do not allow children to play in the area of the operator or to play with
any gate-operating device.
• Be sure that all activating devices are installed a minimum distance of 10
feet away from the gate and gate operator, or in such a way that a person
cannot touch the gate or gate operator while using the activating device. If
activating devices are installed in violation of these restrictions,

RESTRICTIONS AND WARNINGS
Install The Gate Operator Only If.
The operator is appropriate for the usage Class of the application.
All exposed pinch points are eliminated or guarded.
This operator is intended for installation only on swing gates used to
control vehicular traffic. Pedestrians must be provided with a separate
access opening.
The gate must be installed in a location so that sufficient clearance is
provided between the gate and adjacent structures when opening and closing
to reduce the risk of entrapment (see diagram). Swinging gates should not
open into public access areas.
The gate must be properly installed and work freely in both directions prior
to the installation of the gate operator. Do not over-tighten the operator
clutch to compensate for a damaged gate.
Controls must be far enough from the gate so that the user is prevented from
coming in contact with the gate while operating the controls. Outdoor or
easily accessible controls should have a security feature to prevent
unauthorized use.
All warning signs and placards must be installed where visible in the area
of the gate.

|

|
ENTRAPMENT PROTECTION
This vehicular gate operator is equipped with an inherent adjustable clutch
(Type C - Primary) and an inherent (Type A - Secondary) entrapment sensing
system. This system will sense an obstruction in both the opening and
closing gate cycles, and will cause the gate to reverse direction should an
obstruction be encountered. If the system detects a second obstruction
before reaching the full open or close limit after the initial reversal, an
alarm will activate and the operator will require a reset before resuming
normal operation. See Section 4 for more information.
EXTERNAL ENTRAPMENT PROTECTION
Non-contact and contact sensors must be installed individually or in
combination with each other to provide external entrapment protection. For
gate operators utilizing a non-contact sensor:
See diagram below for placement of non-contact sensors.
Care should be exercised to reduce the risk of nuisance tripping, such as
when a vehicle trips the sensor while the gate is still moving, and
One or more non-contact sensors shall be located where the risk of
entrapment or obstruction exists, such as the perimeter reachable by a
moving gate or barrier.
|
 |
For gate operators utilizing a contact sensor:
A hardwired contact sensor shall be located and its wiring arranged so that
the communication between the sensor and the gate operator is not subjected
to mechanical damage.
A wireless contact sensor such as one that transmits radio frequency (RF)
signals to the gate operator for entrapment protection functions shall be
located where the transmission of the signals are not obstructed or impeded
by building structures, natural landscaping or similar obstruction. A
wireless contact sensor shall function under the intended end-use
conditions.

1.2 MOUNTING POST / BASE PLATE
INSTALLATION
1.2.1 POST MOUNT OPERATOR
1. Screw the two mounting pipes supplied into the operator mounting plate.

2. Using Table 1 and Figure 2 determine where POINT C on the mounting plate
1 pipe assembly needs to be located. The location of this assembly and the Y
measurement is dependent on the X measurement that you choose.
|
3. X is the measurement from the center of the gate hinge
to the center of the gate bracket and defines the position of the Al and A2
points.
4. Once the location of POINT C has been determined, construct a form for
the concrete pad according to Figure 3 and place the assembly into the form.
Note that
the depth of the pad is determined by soil conditions and local building
codes.
5. Determine the height of the assembly required for your installation.
Refer to Figure 4.6. IMPORTANT!! Prior to pouring concrete to anchor the
mounting plate / pipe assembly, be sure that POINT C is located correctly
and that the mounting
plate is level and at the correct height. Conduits can be run into the pad
as
required.
7. Let the concrete cure for 48 hours before proceeding with the
installation of the gate
operator.
|
|

|
The concrete pad is sized so that there is a minimum of
four (4) inches of concrete from the outside edge of the mounting pipes.
The height requirement is determined by adjusting the mounting plate / pipe
assembly so that the top of the mounting plate is 5 inches above the top of
the gate rail (Figure 4). This will allow you to mount the gate bracket onto
the bottom rail of the gate and will keep the crank and connecting arms
level (see page 8, Figure 12).
The top of the mounting plate must be at least seven (7) inches above the
ground. If it is less than this, the gate arms will scrape the ground when
the operator starts.
It is very important that the operator mounting plate is level.
|
 |
 |
|

|
1.2.2 PAD MOUNT OPERATOR
1. Using Table 2 and Figure 5 determine the location of the concrete pad and
mounting plate. The location of the pad and base plate and the Y measurement
is dependent on the X measurement that you choose.
2. X is the measurement from the center of the gate hinge to the center of
the gate bracket and defines the position of the All and A2 points.
3. Once the location of the pad and base plate has been determined,
construct a form for the concrete pad according to Figure 6. Note that the
depth of the pad is
determined by soil conditions and local building codes. The pad is sized so
that there
is four (4) inches of concrete around the mounting plate when it is
installed on the
pad.
4. IMPORTANT!! Be sure that the top of the pad is level.
5. Let the concrete cure for 48 hours before proceeding with the
installation of the gate operator.

6. Anchor the concrete mounting plate to the pad using eight (8) 3/8 x 3
sleeve anchors (not supplied). It is important that the concrete base plate
is located correctly on the
pad so that the A1 - A2 line will intersect the operator output shaft as
shown in Figure
5. |
 |
|

|
The concrete pad is sized so that there is a minimum of
four (4) inches of concrete around the perimeter of the pad.
Attach the gate bracket to the gate so that the top of the mounting plate is
5 inches above the top of the gate bracket as shown in Figure 7. This will
keep the crank and connecting arms level (see page 8, Figure 12).
The height requirement can also be ascertain by placing
the gate bracket so that it is 6 inches (11 - 5) above the bottom of the
base plate, or above the top of the concrete pad.
The position of the gate bracket on the gate is directly related to the
height of the concrete pad above ground level. If allowed by local codes,
the top of the concrete pad can be flush with ground level as shown in
Figure 7, which will allow the gate bracket to be lower on the gate.

|
1.3 MOUNTING THE OPERATOR
1 . Remove the operator from the shipping carton.
2. Remove the cover from the operator.
3. It is advisable to remove the conduit knockouts (as required) prior to
mounting the operator onto the operator base plate.
|
 |
1.3.1 POST MOUNTED OPERATORS
1. Place the operator on its side and remove 6 bolts and 4 nuts from the
bottom frame (Figure 9).
2. Gently place the operator on the mounting post assembly being sure to
align all 6 nut plates and the 4 mounting bolts (Figure 10).
3. Replace the 6 bolts and the 4 nuts removed in step 1 to secure the
operator to the mounting post assembly.
4. Route conduits into the operator at this time.
|
 |
 |
|

|
1.3.2 PAD MOUNTED OPERATORS
1 Place the operator on its side and remove 4 bolts and 4 nuts from the
bottom frame (Figure 12).
2. Gently place the operator on the pad mounting assembly being sure to
align all 4 nut plates and the 4 mounting bolts (Figure 13).
3. Replace the 4 bolts and 4 nuts removed in stop 1 to secure the operator
to the pad mounting assembly.
4. Route conduits into the operator at this time.
|
 |
 |
 |
|

|
1.4 ARM ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION
|
 |
1.4.1 CRANK ARM ASSEMBLY
1 . Attach the crank arm and crank power arm to the operator output shaft
using the supplied hardware (Figure 15). Position the arm so that it is
pointing towards the gate.
2. Do not insert the lock pin or lock into the crank arm assembly at this
time. It will be installed later.
3. Adjust the lock nut so that it is snug against the washer, but will still
allow the crank power arm to turn with little force.
|
 |
|

|
 |
4. Slide the connector assembly (Figure 16) onto the crank
arm so that the flange is away from the gate.
5. The connector assembly must be positioned on the crank arm at the correct
distance from the operator shaft to allow the gate to open a full 90 deg. To
determine this measurement, refer back to SECTION 1.2. Measure the distance
from POINT Al to POINT A2 then divide this measurement by 2. The result is
the crank arm assembly length. (Table 3 determines this measurement for the
three different X measurements provided in SECTION 1.2.1
|
 |
6. Adjust the connector assembly on the crank arm so that
the distance from the center of the operator output shaft to the center of
the pivot on the connector assembly is equal to the result of the
computation in step 4 above then tighten the setscrews to secure the
connector in place.
7. The length of the crank arm / connector assembly is dependent on the X
measurement that was selected in SECTION 1.2. This length can be calculated
by using the Pythagorean Theorem A 2 + B2 = C2 to find the hypotenuse (Al,
A2) of the right triangle formed by the gate hinge point, point Al and point
A2. Once the hypotenuse is found, divide it by 2 to get the required crank
arm / connector assembly length. The crank arm
lengths in Table 3 where determined by this method. I
1.4.2 CONNECTING ARM
1 . Place the gate in the full closed position.
2. Once the crank arm assembly length is set, slide one end of the connector
arm through the connector assembly and attach the other end to the gate
bracket as shown in Figure 17. Attach the arm to the bottom side of the gate
bracket.
3. Be sure that the gate is fully closed and then tighten the three
setscrews in the connector assembly to lock the connecting arm in place.
|
 |
|

|
1.4.3 TEST YOUR INSTALLATION
• When the gate is fully closed, the drive and connecting arms should be in
a straight line as shown in Figure 18.
• Manually open the gate. The connecting arm should rotate beneath the drive
arm and output shaft. When the gate is fully open, the drive arm should be
directly over the connecting arm as shown in Figure 19.
• If the gate does not open a full 900, this means that the drive arm is
less than half the A1-A2 measurement. Re-check this measurement and reset
the drive arm length.
• If the gate opens farther than 900, this means that the drive arm is
greater than half the A1- A2 measurement. Re-check this measurement and
reset the drive arm length.
• Shortening the crank arm 1" will stop the gate 2" short. Lengthening the
crank arm 1" will cause the gate to swing 2 inches farther.
Once you are sure that the gate opens and closes fully, trim the excess
length off of the drive and connecting arms. |
|
 |
|
 |
1.5 WARNING SIGN INSTALLATION
This DoorKing Swing Gate Operator is shipped with two warning signs. The
purpose of the warning sign is to alert uninformed persons, and to remind
persons familiar with the gate system, that a possible hazard exist so that
appropriate action can be taken to avoid the hazard or to reduce exposure to
the hazard.
• Permanently install the supplied warning signs in locations so that the
signs are visible by persons on both sides of the gate.
• Use appropriate hardware such as wood or sheet metal screws (not supplied)
to install the warning signs.
|
|

|
1.6 SETUP FOR GATES OPENING OTHER THAN
900
|
|
 |
1.6.1 DETERMINE THE LOCATION OF THE
OPERATOR
1 Determine where the gate-bracket will be attached to the gate. If the gate
will be
opened greater than 900, the gate bracket should be mounted no farther than
30
inches from the center of the hinge point.
2. Once the gate bracket has been attached to the gate, close the gate fully
and mark a
point on the ground directly under the center of the mounting bracket. Label
this
point Al (Figure 21).
|
|
 |
3. Swing the gate to the desired open position. This can be
less than 900, 900, or
greater than 900 (max 1200). With the gate in the desired position, mark a
second
point on the ground directly under the center of the gate bracket. Label
this point A2
(Figure 22).
|
|

|
|
 |
4. Determine where the operator output shaft will be
placed. With a string, connect
points Al and A2 and extend this line beyond A2. The operator shaft must be
on the
Al -A2 line, at least 12 inches away from the gate (Figure 23).
NOTE: Point C can be located anywhere on the A1- A2 line. However,
the farther away from the gate point C is made, the longer the operator
connecting arm will be.
5. Install the mounting plate / pipe assembly (or concrete base plate) in
accordance with
instructions detailed in this manual. Be sure that your mounting plate/ pipe
assembly,
or concrete base plate, and pad is located so that the operator output shaft
will
intersect the Al -A2 line at the point that you have selected.
NOTE: Mount the plate / pipe assembly so that the operator will be
square to the fence line and not parallel to the gate when it is in the open
position.
1.6.2 ARM LENGTH CALCULATIONS
After the operator has been installed, use the following steps to determine
the correct crank arm and connecting arm lengths for the installation.
1 . Measure the distance from point Al to point A2. Divide this measurement
by 2. The
result is the length of the crank arm assembly from the operator output
shaft to the
pivot point on the connector assembly.
2. Measure the distance from point Al to the operator output shaft. Subtract
from this
measurement the length of the crank arm assembly that was determined in step
1.
The result is the length of the connecting arm.
|
|

|
SECTION 2 - WIRING
Before attempting to connect any wiring to the operator, be sure that the
circuit breaker in the electrical panel is in the OFF position. Permanent
wiring must be installed to the operator as required by local electrical
codes. It is recommended that a licensed electrical contractor perform this
work.
Since building codes vary from city to city, we highly recommend that you
check with your local building department prior to installing any permanent
wiring to be sure that all wiring to the operator (both high and low
voltage) complies with local code requirements.
THIS GATE OPERATOR MUST BE PROPERLY GROUNDED!!
|
 |
• The conduit requirements shown in figure 24 are for a
typical swing gate operator installation (the slave operator is shown for
those applications where a slave operator may be used). The conduit
requirements for your application may vary from this depending on your
specific needs.
• Use only sweeps for conduit bends. Do not use 900 connectors as this will
make wire pulls very difficult and can cause damage to wire insulation.
We suggest that minimum 3/4-inch conduit be used.
Be sure that all conduits are installed in accordance with local codes.
|
|

|
2.1 HIGH VOLTAGE CONNECTIONS
Use Table 4 to determine high voltage wire size requirements. The distance
shown in the chart is measured in feet from the operator to the power
source. If power wiring is greater than the maximum distance shown, it is
recommended that a service feeder be installed. When large gauge wire is
used, a separate junction box must be installed for the operator connection.
The wire table is based on stranded copper wire. Wire run calculations are
based on a 3% voltage drop on the power line plus an additional 10%
reduction in distance to allow for other losses in the system.

2.1.2 MASTER / SLAVE OPERATORS
1. Connect the high voltage power lines to the MASTER operator as described
in 2.1.1
on the previous page. Wire distances in table I must be reduced by 1/2 for
master / slave applications.
2. The interface wiring between the two operators requires four (4) 16 AWG
wires for
motor power and grounding, and three (3) 18 AWG wires for low voltage
control.
Suggested wire colors for the high voltage lines are BLUE, RED and WHITE
(all 16
AWG), for the low voltage control lines YELLOW, BROWN and ORANGE (all 18
AWG). The ground wire should be GREEN (16 AWG). In the slave operator, place
a
jumper wire from terminal 19 to terminal 20. Note: DoorKing's master/slave
wire
cable (P/N 2600-75X) contains all of the above wires.
3. Connect BLUE and RED 16 AWG wires to the slave motor power terminal strip
(located at the top center of the 4502 circuit board in the master
operator). Connect
the other ends of these wires to terminals 4 and 5 in the slave operator. It
does not
matter which wire connects to which terminal.
4. Connect the WHITE 16 AWG wire from terminal 2 in the master operator to
terminal
2 in the slave operator.
5. Connect the GREEN 16 AWG wire to the ground lug in the master operator
and to
the ground lug in the slave operator.

2.2 CONTROL WIRING
Controls must be far enough from the gate so that the user is prevented from
coming in contact with the gate while operating the controls. Outdoor or
easily accessible controls should have a security feature to prevent
unauthorized use.
• Connect optional control devices to the master operator terminal strip as
shown in Figure 24. Be sure that all electrical connections are made in
accordance with local electrical codes. Use 18 AWG wire for all low voltage
wiring, maximum distance 3000 feet. Use a low voltage surge suppressor,
DoorKing P/N 1878-010 if low voltage wire runs exceed 1000 feet. All inputs
to the terminal strip must be NORMALLY OPEN.
• Standard reversing input (term 15) only functions while the gate is in the
closing cycle and should not be used as an input for a secondary entrapment
protection device for the open gate cycle. See section 2.2.2 for secondary
entrapment protection device wiring.
• Do not power any devices from the circuit board other than a low voltage
radio receiver as shown in 2.2.1.
• Three-button control station must be DoorKing P/N 1200-006 only. Others
will not work.
• If magnetic lock is used, refer to section 2.4.
|
 |
|

|
2.2.1 RADIO RECEIVER WIRING
Connect the radio receiver to the master operator as shown in Figure 28. If
operators with battery backup are being used, refer to the supplemental
manual (p/n 2340-065) for radio receiver wiring options.
Power available at terminal 7 is limited to 250ma at 24 VAC. Do not power
any other device from this terminal.
If other control devices are used, they must be powered with their own power
supply.
|
|
 |
2.2.2 SECONDARY ENTRAPMENT
PROTECTION DEVICE WIRING
This swing gate operator uses an inherent entrapment sensing system (Type A)
as the secondary entrapment protection device. Additional external
entrapment protection may be added to insure a safe vehicular gate operating
system. Additional inputs are available for non-contact sensors. Secondary
entrapment protection may be provided by a combination of non-contact (Type
B1), contact (Type B2) and inherent adjustable clutch (Type C) devices. See
Section 5.3 for a list of acceptable secondary entrapment protection
devices.
• Disconnect power to the gate operator before installing the non-contact
sensors.
• See Figure 29 for suggested placement of sensors. (Diagram is for
illustration purposes only. Actual placement of sensors is dependent on the
installation requirements).
• One or more non-contact sensors should be located where the risk of
entrapment or obstruction exist such as the perimeter reachable by a moving
gate or barrier.
• Use only U.L. listed (or equivalent) non-contact sensors.
• Connect the non-contact sensors as shown below. Inputs from the photo-beam
to the circuit board are Normally Open (N.O.). Diagram does not illustrate
power wiring to the photobeams. Refer to the photo-beam wiring diagram and
installation instructions for proper connection of photo-beam power.
• Photo-beam input to MAIN TERMINALS 15 and 20 will REVERSE travel of gate
when activated during the CLOSE CYCLE ONLY.
• Photo-beam input to AUXILIARY TERMINALS 7 and 8 will STOP gate travel in
either the OPENING or CLOSING cycle. Gate will resume normal operation when
photo-beam is no longer activated.

2.3 LOOP DETECTOR WIRING
Loop detector wiring is shown for DoorKing model 9405 and 9406 Plug-In loop
detectors only. If other loop detectors are used, refer to the installation
instructions supplied with those detectors for wiring requirements.
If other loop detectors are used, all inputs to the terminal strip are
NORMALLY OPEN. Use a separate power supply to power external detectors. Be
sure that power is turned off prior to making any connections to the
terminal strip.
Loop layout shown is for a typical swing gate application with two-way
traffic or one-way exit only traffic. For one-way entry only traffic, the
open loop is replaced with a second reverse loop wired in series with the
first reverse loop. The 9506 detector is not needed in this application.
Refer to the separate Loop Information Manual (available from DoorKing) for
instructions on installing loops or preformed loops.
For correct SHADOW LOOP operation, jumper wire must be placed from terminal
15 to terminal 16, and SW1, switches I and 2 must be OFF. If a magnetic lock
is used, set switch 1 ON and switch 2 OFF.
NOTE: Output of Shadow Loop Detector may be connected directly to terminal
15 (dotted line - no jumper required between 15 and 16) if SW 2, switch 5 is
ON. However, with this switch ON, terminal 15 becomes a shadow input (active
only when the gate is FULL OPEN) and all reversing devices connected to
terminal 15 will operate as shadow devices. If this is not desirable, wire
the shadow loop detector as instructed in the above bullet point.
|
 |
|

|
2.4 -MAGNETIC LOCK WIRING
2.4.1 DIRECT POWER
• Connect the magnetic lock as shown in Figure 31.
• 24-volt magnetic lock is connected directly to terminals 16 and 19 on the
4502 circuit board. Place a jumper wire from terminal 17 to terminal 18.
24-volt magnetic lock power is provided at terminals 18 and 19.
• Set relay contact shorting pin to NC (normally closed) operation (see
3.1).
• SW1, switch 1 must be in the ON position and SW1, switch 2 must be in the
OFF position when connecting a magnetic lock in this manner.
|
 |
| |
2.4.2 INDIRECT POWER
• Connect the magnetic lock as shown in Figure 32.
• Requires the use of a DC transformer for magnetic lock power.
• Relay shorting pin on the 4502 circuit board must be set for NC (Normally
Closed) operation (see 3.1).
• SW1, switches 1 and 2 can be set in three different ways:
1. Switch 1 OFF, Switch 2 ON
2. Switch 1 ON, Switch 2 OFF
3. Switch 1 ON, Switch 2 ON

2.5 GATE TRACKER TM CONNECTIONS
This gate operator is equipped with outputs from the circuit board that will
report operator status to a companion DoorKing Access Control System (Model
1803PC, 1815, 1817 or 1818) when equipped with an optional Tracker expansion
board. This report includes items such as gate operator cycle count, any
shorted inputs, loop detector problems, any attempts to force the gate open,
if the gate has struck anything during the open or close cycle, power
interruptions, etc.
Gate Tracker TM connections are made at the auxiliary terminal strip located
at the bottom of the circuit board, and at terminals 7, 11 and 20 on the
main terminal strip. For more detailed information on Gate Tracker and
wiring to the Tracker expansion boards, refer to the Tracker Installation
and Wiring Manual, DoorKing P/N 2351-010.
Maximum wire run for gate operator data to the tracker board is 500 feet
using Belden #9931 shielded cable or Consolidated #5324-CL shielded cable.
Float the shield at the tracker board. Do not connect the shield to the
tracker board common.
Wire connection from the tracker board terminal PI -5 to the 4502 main
terminal 11 is optional if the gate operator is not to be activated by the
tracker output relay.

2.6 AUXILIARY DEVICES
2.6.1 ALARM RESET SWITCH
The gate operator is equipped with a reset switch that will silence the
entrapment alarm and return the operator to normal operation after a hard
shutdown occurs. An auxiliary reset button may be added provided that the
following condition is met.
• The alarm-reset button must be located in the line of sight of the gate.
• Connect the normally open alarm-reset switch to auxiliary terminals 2 and
3.
|
 |
2.6.2 AUXILIARY STOP SWITCH
This circuit creates an auxiliary stop input that will stop a moving gate
when activated, or will prevent the gate operator from starting if the
switch is activated. Note that this stop input is normally open and that a
switch closure will activate the stop function.
• This circuit cannot be used if a DoorKing 3 button control station is
connected to the operator.
• Place a jumper wire from terminal 13 to terminal 14.
• Connect the stop switch to terminals 14 and 20.

SECTION 3 - ADJUSTMENTS
The switch settings and adjustments in this chapter should be made after
your installation and wiring to the operator(s) is complete. Whenever any of
the programming switches on the circuit board are changed, power must be
shut-off, and then turned back on for the new setting to take effect.
3.1 CIRCUIT BOARD ADJUSTMENTS
• Set the DIP-switches on the circuit board to the desired setting. See
switch-setting charts in section 3.2.
• Auto close timer (when turned on) can be set from 1 second (full counter
clockwise) to approximately 23 seconds (full clockwise).
• Dry contact relay contacts (terminals 16-17) can be set for Normally Open
(NO) or Normally Closed (NC) operation by placing the relay shorting bar on
the NO or NC pins respectively.
• Power LED indicates that low voltage power is applied to the circuit
board. Input LEDs should be OFF and will only illuminate when an input is
activated. The pulse LEDs will blink as the operator is running. They can be
either ON or OFF when the operator is stopped. Tracker LEDs will flash as
operator data is sent to the access controller (I 803PC, 1815, 1817 or
1818). |

3.2.1 SW 1 (TOP SWITCH) DESCRIPTION
AND FUNCTION
Switches 1-2: These work in conjunction with each other and determine when
the relay on the board will be activated. This relay can be used as a switch
for various functions such as illuminating a warning light when the gate is
moving, or turning on a green light when the gate is full open. This relay
is not available for these uses if it is being used for the shadow loop
function. Also, if a magnetic lock is used with the gate operator, these
switches must be set for magnetic lock operation which limits the relay to
activate only when the gate is opening and full open.
Switch 3: Determines if the output of the loop detector (DoorKing loop
detectors only) plugged into the OPEN port will be sent directly to the
microprocessor to open the gate, or if the output is directed to terminal 12
where it can then be connected to other input terminals.
Switch 4: Turns the auto close timer on or off. Maximum time that the close
timer can beset for is 23 seconds.
Switch 5: This switch enables the 4502 circuit board to be used in either a
swing gate or slide gate application. Some older DoorKing slide gate
operators did use the 4501 circuit board for control. This switch is here to
allow use of this board on these older products.
Switch 6: Sets up the circuit board for 3-button (open-close-stop) logic
when the DoorKing 3 button control station is connected to the circuit. Keep
this switch in the ON position if three button control IS NOT used.
Switch 7: Sets up the circuit board for single or master / slave (dual) gate
operation.
Switch 8: If the gate is forced open, the tamper protect system will start
the motor in the close direction when the operator senses the forced open
condition.
3.2.2 SW2 (BOTTOM SWITCH) DESCRIPTION AND FUNCTION
Switch 1: Sets direction of the master operator so that the operator cycles
open upon initial power up and open command. If the operator begins to cycle
close upon initial power up and open command, turn power off and change the
setting on this switch.
Switch 2: Sets direction of the slave operator so that the operator cycles
open upon initial power up and open command. If the operator begins to cycle
close upon initial power up and open command, turn power off and change the
setting on this switch.
Switch 3: This switch is a self-test feature that checks various functions
of the circuit board and is used for bench test only. Do not run this test
with the operator connected to the gate.
Switch 4: This switch applies high voltage motor power to the two slave
operator motor terminals located at the top of the board. If a master /
slave system is in use, this switch should be ON and the slave motor wires
connected to the slave operator motor terminals. For single gate
applications, this switch can be turned OFF.
Switch 5: This switch sets the input at terminal 15 to act as a normal
reverse input or to act as a shadow input. A shadow input will only hold the
gate operator in the open position once it is in the full open position. A
shadow input will not reverse the direction of the gate operator once it
begins its close cycle.
Switch 6: Used in master / slave applications, turning this switch ON will
cause the start of the slave operator to be delayed 1-2 seconds. This allows
the master gate to reach the full close position prior to the swing gate,
which is desirable when the gates are constructed with an overlap or if a
magnetic lock is used to secure the gates.
Switches 7-8: Spare switches. Leave these in the OFF position.

|
3.3 AUTOMATIC LIMIT ADJUSTMENT
This gate operator does not use any limit switches or run timers to adjust
the gate open and close positions. The gate open and close positions are
determined by the physical stops on the crank arm. The gate operator will
automatically measure the travel distance required and set its "limits" from
this measurement during this initial automatic sequence.
IMPORTANT!!
This automatic limit adjustment sequence must be run prior to testing the
operator for normal operation, and prior to testing any of the safety
features that are incorporated into this operator. This includes the primary
and secondary entrapment protection features, and the entrapment alarm and
reset features.
1 . The limit adjustment is automatic and relies on the physical stop
created by the flange on the gate arm connector assembly.
2. Turn power to the operator ON. Activate an open device (or momentarily
jumper between terminals 11 and 20). The gate operator should begin to cycle
the gate to the OPEN position. If the gate operator begins to cycle the gate
to the CLOSED position, turn power to the operator OFF. Change the setting
of the direction switch(s).
Master or single operator, change SW 2, switch 1.
Slave operator, change SW 2, switch 2.
3. After the initial activation with the gate running in the OPEN cycle, the
clutch will slip for approximately 2 seconds after the gate reaches the full
open position, and then the gate operator will shut off. Activate a keying
device to close the gate (or allow the timer to close the gate if it is
turned on). When the gate reaches the full closed position, the clutch will
slip for approximately 2 seconds, and then the gate operator will shut off.
The operator limits are now set. NOTE: During this initial setup, be sure
that the operator clutch does not slip while the gate is cycling from the
full open to the full closed position. If the clutch slips during this
period, the limits will be misadjusted.
4. Cycle the gate again. The operator should reach the full open and full
close positions and then shut off without the clutch slipping.

|
3.4 ENTRAPMENT SENSING SYSTEM
This vehicular gate operator is equipped with an inherent adjustable clutch
(Type C) that is used as the primary entrapment sensing system. The clutch
will slip upon sensing an obstruction in either the opening or closing gate
cycle and will cause the gate operator to reverse direction should an
obstruction be encountered. For this system to function correctly, the gate
must be properly installed and work freely in both directions. A good set of
roller bearing hinges is essential for proper swing gate operation.
3.4.1 CLUTCH ADJUSTMENT
1 . Be sure power to the operator is turned OFF whenever adjustments to the
clutch are being made. Loosen the upper jamb nut to "un-lock" the lower jamb
nut then loosen the lower jamb nut. (See figure 36 on the preceding page)
2. Manually move the gate so that it is positioned approximately half way
open.
3. Tighten the lower jamb nut so that it is finger tight then tighten it one
turn with a wrench. Re-tighten the upper jamb nut.
4. Apply power to the gate operator and momentarily short across terminals
11 and 20 with a I -foot piece of 18 AWG wire. When the gate begins to open,
determine if the clutch is slipping. If the clutch is slipping, turn power
OFF and tighten the lower jamb nut one more turn. This process may have to
be repeated several times to get the right clutch adjustment. Always start
the gate from the half open position when adjusting the clutch.
5. After adjusting the clutch so that the gate opens and closes without it
slipping, obstruct the gate while it is in the opening cycle. The clutch
should slip with no more than 40 Lbs of force for approximately 2 seconds,
and then the operator should reverse the direction of travel of the gate. If
the clutch does not slip, it is too tight. Repeat step 4 and re-adjust the
clutch. NOTE: After the gate has reversed, the operator will be in a "soft
shutdown" making it necessary to initiate the cycle again by momentarily
shorting across terminals 11 and 20.
6. Repeat step 5, only this time obstruct the gate while it is in the
closing cycle. The clutch should slip with no more than 40 Lbs of force for
approximately 2 seconds, and then the operator should reverse the direction
of travel of the gate. If the clutch does not slip, it is too tight. Repeat
step 4 and re-adjust the clutch. NOTE: After the gate has reversed, the
operator will be in a "soft shutdown" making it necessary to initiate the
cycle again by momentarily shorting across terminals 11 and 20.
7. The ideal clutch adjustment will allow the operator to move the gate
through its entire travel cycle without slipping, but will slip upon contact
with an obstruction with no more than 40 Lbs of force. This force can be
measured with a gate scale, DoorKing P/N 2600225.
3.4.2 SECONDARY ENTRAPMENT PROTECTION SYSTEM
In addition to the mechanical slip clutch, this operator uses an inherent
entrapment sensing system (Type A) to further reduce the possibility of
injury should an entrapment occur. The secondary system is completely
automatic and will be activated if the clutch fails to slip when an
obstruction between the open and close limit settings is sensed. This
feature requires no adjustment by the installer or end user.

SECTION 4 - OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING - To reduce the risk of injury or death:
I . READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
2. Never let children operate or play with gate controls. Keep the remote
control away
from children.
3. Always keep people and objects away from gate. NO ONE SHOULD CROSS THE
PATH OF THE MOVING GATE.
4. Test the operator monthly. The gate MUST reverse on contact with a rigid
object or
stop or reverse when an object activates the non-contact sensors. After
adjusting the
force or the limit of travel, retest the gate operator. Failure to adjust
and retest the
gate operator properly can increase the risk of injury or death.
5. Use the emergency release only when the gate is not moving and power has
been
shut-off.
6. KEEP GATES PROPERLY MAINTAINED. Read the owners manual. Have a
qualified service person make repairs to gate hardware.
7. The entrance is for vehicles only. Pedestrians must use separate
entrance.
8. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
4.1 POWER AND RESET SWITCHES
Open the power switch cover located on the side of the operator to access
the MAIN POWER, BACKUP POWER and the operator RESET switches (Figure 38).
• The RESET switch is used to turn off the entrapment alarm and to reset the
operator after a hard shutdown has occurred.
• The AC POWER toggle switch turns power to the operator ON (toggle up) or
OFF (toggle down).
• The DC POWER toggle switch turns the DC backup system power ON (toggle up)
or OFF (toggle down). This switch is only installed on model 6100 operators
with the DC backup system installed.

|
4.2 SHUTDOWN CONDITIONS
Under various entrapment conditions the operator will assume either a soft
or hard shutdown (alarm) condition. To determine what type of reset action
is required, you will need to understand how the different entrapment
conditions affect the gate operator.
4.2.1 SOFT SHUTDOWN
This occurs in various situations where the inherent or secondary entrapment
protection devices have been activated. In a soft shutdown condition, the
operator will not respond to any input that was present when the entrapment
protection device sensed an obstruction. If the gate stops at the open
position, the operator will not respond to the automatic close timer.
Example 1: A time clock keys the gate open in the morning and an entrapment
protection device senses an obstruction prior to the gate reaching the full
open position. If the entrapment is sensed by the inherent system, the gate
will reverse and run back to the closed position. The time clock input is
still present, but the gate will not re-open.
NOTE: In some systems, the time clock input comes from the telephone entry
system relay. This same relay may also provide open commands for a card
reader, MicroPLUS transmitters and the visitor telephone entry. If so, these
devices will also be disabled in a soft shutdown condition.
• Example 2: If the gate is closing and an entrapment protection device is
activated, the gate will either stop or reverse and run back to the open
position, depending upon if the secondary or inherent device was activated.
The automatic close timer will not close the gate.
• Example 3: Vehicle arrives at open loop and gate runs towards the open
position. The inherent entrapment protection is activated. The gate reverses
and runs back to the closed position. If the vehicle is still present at the
open loop a soft shutdown condition does not occur. The loop input provides
an immediate reset of the operator and the gate will again run to the open
position.
4.2.2 RESETTING A SOFT SHUTDOWN
In some conditions, a soft shutdown will reset as soon as the entrapment
condition clears. For example, if a non-contact sensor (photo cell) is
sensing an obstruction, the operator will stop the gate and assume a soft
shutdown condition. When the photocell clears, the operator will return to
normal operation.
When the operator is in a soft shutdown, activation of any *intended input"
will reset the operator. An "intended input' includes any command, any
standard safety input and any loop input. Activating any of these inputs
will reset the gate. At that point the gate will return to normal operation.
If the gate is open, the automatic close timer will then time out and close
the gate.
|
|

|
4.2.3 HARD SHUTDOWN
A hard shutdown condition occurs when the inherent entrapment protection
system has sensed two consecutive obstructions before the gate reaches the
full open or closed position.
• Example: The gate is closing and the inherent entrapment protection system
senses an obstruction and causes the gate to reverse direction. As the gate
begins to run in the open direction, a second obstruction is sensed prior to
the gate reaching the full open position. Once the second obstruction has
been sensed, the operator will stop, the audio alarm will be activated and
all standard inputs are shut down (including open commands, safety commands,
loop inputs, etc.).
• NOTE: The audio alarm will remain activated for a maximum of five minutes,
or until the operator receives a reset input. The hard shutdown condition
will remain in affect even if the audio alarm shuts off after five minutes.
• After 5 minutes, the audio alarm will "chirp" every 5 seconds. This
indicates that the operator is in a hard shutdown condition and the reset
switch must be activated to reset the operator and silence the alarm.
4.2.4 RESETTING A HARD SHUTDOWN
When the operator is in a hard shutdown condition (audio alarm activated or
audio alarm "chirps" every 5 seconds), the only way to reset the gate
operator and return it to normal operation is to activate the alarm reset
input (auxiliary terminals 2 and 3). An alarm-reset switch can be mounted
external of the gate operator provided that it is installed in the line of
sight of the gate and gate operator.
• Before resetting a hard shutdown, determine why the shutdown occurred.
Inspect the gate for any obstructions along its path that could have
activated the inherent entrapment sensing system. Inspect the gate and gate
hardware.
• NOTE: DoorKing operators have a built-in alarm reset push button mounted
on the operator above the power ON-OFF toggle switch. Activating this button
will return the gate operator to normal operation, but will not activate the
gate operator.
Once the gate has been reset, an open or close command is needed to start
the gate operator. Most activating commands will cause the gate operator to
cycle to the open position. This includes activation of a key switch or open
command and activation of an open loop. Activation of a close command will
run the gate to the closed position.
NOTE: The gate operator will not lose its limit settings when a hard
shutdown occurs.

4.3 MANUAL / EMERGENCY GATE OPERATION
This operator is equipped with a manual release system that will allow the
gate to be pushed open in the event of a power outage or equipment failure.
NOTE: Never attempt to manually push open any gate with an operator
attached to it until you have verified that power to the operator has been
shut-off.
4.3.1 EMERGENCY VEHICLE ACCESS CONDITIONS
The automatic vehicular gate system must be designed to allow access to
emergency vehicles under different operating conditions.
1 . During normal powered operation, emergency vehicles access the gate by
use of the emergency vehicle access device installed on your gate system.
The type of device that is used in your community is dependent on your city
codes. These devices may include (but are not limited to) Fire Department
lock boxes, Click-2-Enter radio receivers, strobe light sensors, siren
sensors, etc.
2. In the event of a power failure, the emergency vehicle access device may
not be functional because the gate operator is un-powered. If the gate
operator is equipped with a battery back-up system, this system will
automatically open the gate when primary (AC) power is removed. NOTE: DC
powered back-up systems are optional and your gate system may or may not be
equipped with one. Check with your installer to determine if your gate
system is equipped with a back-up power system.
3. In the event of a primary (AC) power failure and a back-up system (DC)
power failure (low charged or dead batteries for example), the system must
have a release system to allow the gate to be manually operated. The release
device must be accessible from either side of the gate and must be present
so that emergency personnel can gain access through the gate under this
condition.
4.3.2 FAIL-SAFE MANUAL OPERATION
The FAIL-SAFE manual operation system is the most reliable and safest method
for placing an automated gate in manual operation and is the preferred
method of emergency gate operation under worse case conditions by many Fire
Chiefs and Building Inspectors and is typically used in CLASS I and CLASS 11
applications. This system requires no keys, cranks or tools for manual gate
operation and is completely automatic. This prevents any delays for
emergency vehicle access in the event that a power outage has occurred.
• When AC power is removed (power failure or switch power off), the operator
"FAILS" in a "SAFE" condition allowing the gate to be manually pushed open
without the need of any tools, keys, cranks or other devices. This assures
emergency vehicle access under the worst-case conditions.
• For manual fail-safe gate operation, turn power to the operator OFF. If a
backup power system is in use, be sure that this power is turned OFF also.
Once power is OFF, the gate can be manually operated.
|
|

|
1 . Pull the gate arm (figure 39) that is attached to the
operator shaft away from the gate so that the knuckle joint is slightly
"broken" (figure 40).
2. Go to the end of the gate and pull it open.
If an attempt is made to force the gate open under normal operating
conditions (AC power present), a tamper protect circuit will detect the
forced entry and will start the motor to return the gate to the closed
position. If Gate Tracker reporting is in use, a forced entry attempt
transaction will be sent to the DoorKing access control system at this time.
|
 |
4.3.3 MANUAL RELEASE
In addition to FAIL-SAFE manual operation, this operator also employees a
keyed release to place the gate in manual operation when primary (AC) power
is removed.
• Be sure that primary (AC) and backup (DC) power is removed or shut-off
prior to placing the gate operator in manual operation.
• Unlock and remove the padlock on the operator crank arm (figure 39) and
then pull the release pin.
• The gate can now be manually operated.

SECTION 5 - MAINTENANCE AND
TROUBLESHOOTING
Inspection and service of this gate operator by a qualified technician
should be performed anytime a malfunction is observed or suspected. High
cycle usage may require more frequent service checks.
5.1 MAINTENANCE
When servicing the gate operator, always check any secondary (external)
reversing devices (loops, photo eyes, etc.) for proper operation. If
external reversing devices cannot be made operable, do not place this
operator in service until the malfunction can be identified and corrected.
Always check the inherent reversing system when performing any maintenance.
If the inherent reversing system cannot be made operable, remove this
operator from service until the cause of the malfunction is identified and
corrected. Keeping this operator in service when the inherent reversing
system is malfunctioning creates a hazard for persons which can result in
serious injury or death should they become entrapped in the gate.
When servicing this gate operator, always turn power OFF!!

5.2 TROUBLESHOOTING
Have a good VOM meter to check voltages and continuity. A Meg-Ohm meter
capable of checking up to 500 meg-ohms of resistance is necessary to
properly check the integrity of the ground loops. When a malfunction occurs,
isolate the problem to one of three areas: 1) the operator, 2) the loop
system, 3) the keying devices. Use caution when checking high voltage areas:
terminals 1 through 6, the motor capacitor and the motor.
1 . Check the input indicator LEDs. They should only come ON when a keying
device (card reader, push button, etc.) is activated. If any of the input
LEDs are ON continuously, this will cause the gate operator to hold open.
Disconnect the keying devices one at a time until the LED goes OFF.
2. Check any external secondary entrapment protection devices. Any short or
malfunction in these devices can cause the gate operator to stop or to hold
open.
3. A malfunction in a loop or loop detector can cause the gate operator to
hold open, or to not detect a vehicle when it is present over the loop. Pull
the loop detector circuit boards from the loop ports on the operator circuit
board. If the malfunction persist, the problem is not with the loop system.
For more information on trouble shooting loops and loop detectors, refer to
your loop detector instruction sheet and to the DoorKing Loop and Loop
Detector Information Manual.
4. Check to be sure that there are no shorted or open control wires from the
keying devices to the gate operator. If a keying device fails to open the
gate, momentarily jumper across terminals 11 and 20 on the gate operator
circuit board. If the gate operator starts, this indicates that a problem
exist with the keying device and is not with the gate operator.
5. If a three-button control station (open-close-stop) is connected to this
gate operator, check for proper wiring. Only a DoorKing three button control
station (P/N 1200-006) can be used with this gate operator. Others will
cause a malfunction.
6. Check the high voltage supply. A voltage drop on the supply line (usually
caused by using too small supply voltage wires) will cause the operator to
malfunction. Refer to the wire size chart in section 2.1.

TROUBLESHOOTING |
| SYMPTON |
POSSIBLE SOLUTION(S) |
| Operator will not run. OFF. |
Power LED is Check that power to the
operator is turned ON. Transformer may be overheated. Turn power off and
allow board to cool for several minutes then retest. Check for low 115
VAC power and low voltage shorts. Check for 115 VAC at terminals 2 and
3. If voltage measures OK, check the terminal strip or replace the
circuit board. |
| Operator will not run. Power LED is ON. |
Momentarily jumper terminal 11 to
terminal 20. If the input LED does not come ON, check the terminal strip
or replace the circuit board.
If LED does come ON, proceed to next steps. Remove circuit board. With
power ON, momentarily jumper terminal 3 to terminal 4 with a 14 AWG
insulated jumper wire. CAUTION - HIGH VOLTAGE.
The motor should run. With power ON, momentarily jumper terminal 3 to
terminal 5 with a 14 AWG insulated jumper wire. CAUTION - HIGH VOLTAGE.
The motor should run in the opposite direction of the above step. If the
motor runs in both steps above, replace the control board.
If the motor does not run, or runs in only one direction, problem can be
a bad motor, motor capacitor, wire connections from the control board to
the motor or a bad control board. |
| Slave operator motor will not run. |
Check that SW-2, switch 2 is ON. Remove
circuit board. Momentarily jumper terminal 3 to one of the slave motor
terminals, then to the other slave motor terminal with a 14 AWG
insulated jumper wire. CAU71ON - HIGH VOLTAGE. The slave motor should
run one way, then the other way as power is applied to each terminal. If
the slave motor runs in both directions, replace the control board. If
slave motor does not run, or runs in only one direction, problem can be
in the wiring from the master to slave operator, bad slave motor or
motor capacitor. |
| Gate opens a short distance, then stops
and reverses. |
Check that the clutch is adjusted
property and is not slipping.
Disconnect the gate from the gate operator and check that the gate
swings freely without any binding.
Check that SW-1, switch 7 is set correctly.
Check the PULSE LED on the circuit board. PULSE 1 should blink as the
master (or single) operator is running. PULSE 2 should blink as the
slave operator is running. If either PULSE LED is not blinking as the
respective operator is running, check that the magnetic sensor is within
1/32 inch of the magnetic counter ring.
Replace the magnetic sensor.
Replace the circuit board. |
| Gate opens but will not close. |
Check the input LEDs. Any ON will hold
the gate open and indicates a problem with a keying device.
Check the secondary safety devices. Any activated will hold the gate
open and indicates a problem with the safety device.
Check the loop detectors. Any activated can hold the gate open and
indicates a problem with the loop detector or ground loop.
Operator may be in a "soft shutdown.* Activate any keying device to
determine if operator returns to normal operation.
If automatic close is desired, be sure SW-1, switch 4 is ON.
Check motor as described on previous page. |
| Gate closes but will not open. |
Operator may be in a "soft shutdown.'
Check input LEDs on terminals 11, 12 and 13. If any are ON, momentarily
disconnect, then re-connect the wire going to the respective terminal.
Operator should open.
Check to be sure that the operator is running in the proper direction.
Turn power OFF, and then back ON. Activate a keying device. Operator
should run in the open direction. If operator runs in the close
direction, turn power OFF and change direction switch SW-2, switches I
and/or 2. Go to above section if operator now opens but will not close.
Be sure that the respective LED on the control board lights when the
keying device connected to the respective terminal is activated. If LED
does not light, momentarily place a jumper wire from terminal 20 to the
input terminal being checked. If LED lights and gate opens, problem is
with the keying device. If LED does not light, replace control board.
Check motor as described on previous page. |
| Gate starts to close, then reverses to
open. |
Check that the clutch is adjusted
property and is not slipping.
Disconnect the gate from the operator and check that the gate operates
freely without any binding.
Check the loop detector LEDs and input LEDs. Any that flash ON will
cause the gate to reverse.
If a shadow loop is used, check for proper wiring. A mis-wired shadow
loop detector will cause the gate to reverse.
Check the PULSE LED on the circuit board. PULSE 1 should blink as the
master (or single) operator is running. PULSE 2 should blink as the
slave operator is running. If either PULSE LED is not blinking as the
respective operator is running, check that the magnetic sensor is within
1/32 inch of the magnetic counter ring.
Replace the magnetic sensor.
Replace the circuit board. |
| Gate closes and then re-opens. |
Check for any input or loop detector LEDs
that are ON.
Check that the operator is running in the proper direction (see "gate
closes but will not open" above).
Check that SW-1, switch 5 is set correctly. |
| Alarm sounds for 5 minutes and then beeps
once every 5 seconds. Operator will not run.Battery backup system will
not open gate upon AC power outage. |
Operator is in a 'hard shutdown'
condition. Reset switch must be activated to return operator to normal
operation. Check backup system is set to open gate automatically or
requires an input to open.
Check that the backup system power switch is in the ON position.
Check the batteries for proper voltage. Replace if necessary.
Replace the backup system circuit board. |
