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 Standard Non-contact Sensor Minimizes the potential of the gate closing on vehicular or other traffic Reverse Loop that loops cannot sense. Minimizes the potential of the gate closing when a vehicle is present. Warning Signs Number and placement of loops is Permanently mounted dependent on the application.
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.
1.2 Post Mount or Pad Mount Base Assembly (2) 1” bolts through the main gear bracket mounting holes. (2) 1 1/2” bolts through the main gear bracket mounting holes. Post Support Base Screw the posts to the support plate and mount into concrete BEFORE attaching the operator.
Use only sweeps for conduit bends. Do not use 90° elbows as this will make wire pulls very difficult Elbow and can cause damage to wire insulation. DoorKing recommends using 3/4-inch conduit. • Installation of External Entrapment Protection Devices is REQUIRED (photo sensor and/or reversing edge).
Note: 2” thick 1.5 Post Mount gate Illustrated. Mount the post base into the concrete 90° before installing the operator. Open Gate The post mount installation will allow the operator to be mounted low enough Concrete 6” 12” to attach the gate bracket to the lower Position gate rail if desired.
The operator is now ready for AC power. 1.8 Installation of Warning Signs 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 exists so that appropriate action can be taken to avoid the hazard or to reduce exposure to the hazard.
1.9 Entrapment Protection Installation REQUIRED A monitored photo sensor (Type B1) or monitored reversing edge (Type B2, see next page) MUST be installed or operator WILL NOT function. A standard photo sensor can also be used as safety protection for the closing cycle of the gate, see below, but a monitored photo sensor or monitored reversing edge MUST also be installed.
Page 18
1.9 Continued A monitored reversing edge (Type B2) should be installed as entrapment protection for the closing cycle of the gate. Edge Transmitter OPTIONAL wireless transmitter can be used.

Individual requirements can be calculated following this 105° demonstrated sample. Gate Bracket Arm Assembly...
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.
Board Ground loop is activated. Tracker LEDs will flash as operator Secondary data is sent to the Operator Motor access controller Terminal (DoorKing models See page 17. 1833, 1835, 1837 Loop or 1838 only). EXIT LOOP Key Switch 9410 Single...
Auto-close timer is ON. Adjustable from 1-23 seconds to close gate. Not Used Leave in the OFF position. 3-Button OFF when using a 3-button station (DoorKing 3-button control stations only). Single Button ON when using a single button control, terminals 13 &14 become a STOP input. Dual Operators Switch must be OFF when bi-parting (dual) gates are used.
Switch 5 is NOT used. Leave in the OFF position. Switch 6 Sets up the circuit board for single button (ON setting) OR a DoorKing 3-button control station only (OFF setting). When this switch is ON, terminals 13 and 14 can be used as a Normally Open STOP input for single button control. When this switch is OFF, terminals 13 and 14 can be used with a DoorKing 3-Button control station ONLY for Open, Close and Stop input.
3.4 Automatic Open / Close Limit Adjustment The 6050/6100’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 11).
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.
ON, an input to terminal #15 (e.g.: photo beam gets obstructed) has NO effect on the gate operator (Set for Shadow input). OPEN - DoorKing 3-Button station ONLY CLOSE - DoorKing 3-Button station ONLY Operation of the circuit board dry relay contact is dependent on setting of SW 1, switches 1 and 2.

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.
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.

If the Gate Tracker reporting is in use, a forced entry attempt transaction will be sent to the DoorKing access control system at this time. Manual Release In addition to FAIL-SAFE manual operation, this operator also employs a locked release pin to place the gate in manual operation when AC power is removed.
✓ Inspect for wear. Grease if necessary. Use only EP Molybdenum Gear ✓ Disulfide (Moly D) grease (DoorKing P/N 2600-770) Main shaft zert fitting. Grease ✓ Check that the gate reverses on contact with an object in both Inherent Reverse System the opening and closing cycles.
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.
