ASTM F2200 Standard for Gate Construction Vehicular gates should be constructed and installed in accordance with ASTM F2200; Standard Specification for Automated Vehicular Gate Construction. For a copy of this standard, contact ASTM directly at 610-832-9585; service@astm.org; or www.astm.org. Important Safety Instructions WARNING - To reduce the risk of injury or death: 1.
• For gate operators utilizing contact sensors: 1. One or more contact sensors shall be located where the risk of entrapment or obstruction exist, such as at the leading edge, trailing edge, and post mounted both inside and outside of a vehicular horizontal slide gate. 2.
UL 325 Entrapment Protection UL 325 Classifications Authoriz ed Personn el ONLY Class I - Residential Class III - Industrial/Limited Access Vehicular Gate Operator Vehicular Gate Operator A vehicular gate operator (or system) intended for use in garages A vehicular gate operator (or system) intended for use in an or parking areas associated with a residence of one-to four single industrial location or building such as a factory or loading dock families.
Glossary GATE - A moving barrier such as a swinging, sliding, raising, lowering, or the like, barrier, that is a stand-alone passage barrier or is that portion of a wall or fence system that controls entrance and/or egress by persons or vehicles and completes the perimeter of a defined area.
Swing Gate Requirements The operator is intended for installation only on gates used for vehicles. Pedestrians must be supplied with a separate access opening. The pedestrian access opening shall be designed to promote pedestrian usage. Locate the gate such that persons will not come in contact with the vehicular gate during the entire path of travel of the vehicular gate.
Swing Gate Protection Non-contact Sensor Minimizes the potential of the gate closing on vehicular or other traffic that loops cannot sense. Monitored device helps protect against Reverse Loop entrapment. Minimizes the potential of the gate closing when a vehicle is present. Warning Signs Number and placement of loops is Permanently mounted...
SECTION 1 - INSTALLATION Prior to beginning the installation of the swing gate operator, we suggest that you become familiar with the instructions, illustrations, and wiring guide-lines in this manual. This will help insure that your installation is performed in an efficient and professional manner compliant with UL 325 safety and ASTM F2200 construction standards.

1.7 Manually Adjust the Open and Closed Gate Positions DO NOT power up the operator to set the open and closed gate positions. The first time the operator is powered up and cycled, it will automatically set the open and close limits. To do this, the arms MUST already be in the correct configuration. Closed Arms Position Open Arms Position Closed Gate...

Individual requirements can be calculated following this 105° opening sample. Arm Assembly Connecting arm’s pivot point measurement 62.25”...
SECTION 2 - AC POWER TO OPERATOR(S) 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.
2.3 Bi-Parting Gates Wiring - Dual Gate Operators Connect the Primary/Secondary operators together with DoorKing’s interconnection cable as shown (Different lengths sold separately P/N 2600-75x). High voltage power and low voltage communications are supplied to the secondary operator by DoorKing’s UL approved cable Blue that is run in a single conduit.
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.
3.2 DIP-Switch SW 3 & SW 4 Settings The two DIP-switches located on the circuit board are used to program the operator to operate in various modes and to turn on or off various operating features. Whenever a switch setting is changed, power to the operator must be turned OFF and then turned back on for the new setting to take affect.
3.3 DIP-Switch Definitions SW 4 (Top 8 Switches) 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 Switches 1-2 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.
3.4 Automatic Open / Close Limit Adjustment The 6300’s open/close limits DO NOT have to be physically adjusted. The gate open and close positions are determined by the physical stop “Flange” on the elbow assembly (See below). The arms MUST already be in the correct closed configuration (See Section 1.7 on page 12).
3.5 Clutch Adjustment This vehicular gate operator is equipped with an inherent adjustable clutch “Type C” that can be used as an entrapment protec- tion device. If the clutch is intended to be used as such, it must be adjusted to NOT open or close the gate with a sustained force greater than 40 lbs at the leading edge of the gate, except for the first 10 degrees of arc travel after any initiation of movement.
SECTION 4 - WIRING 4.1 Main Terminal Description DANGER HIGH VOLTAGE! • When gate is closed, input will open gate. SW 4 • When gate is open and auto close timer SW 4, switch 4 is turned ON, input will 115 VAC - Neutral re-set and hold timer.
Antenna mounted 4.2 Control Wiring outside operator cover. (2) Two 115 VAC Convenience Outlets Coax Antenna Kit P/N 1514-073 Important: Controls intended for user activation must be located at least six (6) feet away from any moving part of the gate and where the user is prevented from reaching over, under, around or through the gate to operate the controls.
4.3 Auxiliary Terminal Wiring DoorKing Access Control System (Model 1833, 1835, 1837 or 1838) tracker system can be connected. This system can keep track of gate operator cycle count, shorted inputs, loop detector problems, any forced entry attempts, if the 24 VAC Power 24 VAC gate has struck anything during the open or close cycle, power...
4.4 Loop Detector Wiring To help protect the operator from accidentally closing on vehicles • Loop detector wiring is shown for DoorKing in the gate’s path, DoorKing highly recommends that loops and plug-in loop detectors. If other loop detectors are loop detectors be installed.
SECTION 5 - OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS WARNING - To reduce the risk of injury or death: 1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS. 2. Never let children operate or play with gate controls. Keep the remote control away from children. 3.
5.2 Shutdown Conditions Under various entrapment conditions the operator will assume either a soft or hard (alarm) shutdown. To determine what type of reset action is required, you will need to understand how the different entrapment conditions affect the gate operator.
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).
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 II applications. This system requires no keys, cranks or tools for manual gate operation and is completely automatic.
SECTION 6 - 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. 6.1 Maintenance When servicing the gate operator, always check any (external) safety devices (loops, photo sensors, etc.) for proper operation. If external safety devices cannot be made operable, do not place this operator in service until the malfunction can be identified and corrected.
6.2 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.
