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.
SECTION 1 - INSTALLATION Prior to beginning the installation of the slide 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.
1.3 Typical Gate Types The Model 9024 operator is designed to be installed on any of these gate types. See pages 13-15 for specific operator mounting positions. • Steel or Aluminum. • 1,000 lb max. weight per gate. • Chain tray recommended for gates over 20 ft. (Post mount installation when using a chain tray.) •...
1.5 Solar Panel Positioning These charts should be used only for estimates. Solar systems can vary from this information. These maps do not take into account small climate changes and may not be 100% accurate for all locations. Solar Panel MUST Point “TRUE SOUTH” It is important for proper system operation that the solar panel is oriented to TRUE SOUTH.
1.6 Operator Mounting Positions The Model 9024 operator is designed to be installed in the front, rear and center mounting positions shown on this page and the next 2 pages. V-wheel V-rail ornamental gates are shown as examples but other gate types on the previous page can use the same mounting setups.

1.10 Endless Idler Assembly On Select Installations DoorKing offers an endless idler assembly with a protective cover designed for the Model 9024 installations (P/N 2600-818). Make sure the endless idler assembly is securely fastened to the wall or post (Depending on which type of installation will be used).
1.11 DoorKing’s Chain Tray Kit A chain tray is recommended for gates longer than 20 ft. to support the weight of the chain. DoorKing offers a chain tray kit in 10 ft. sections to fit any length gate. (DoorKing P/N 2601-270 10 Ft. section) The Chain tray supporting brackets can be mounted facing up (as shown) Chain Tray...
CAUTION DO NOT connect an AC input power wire to the Model 9024-081’s power terminal DKS Solar Power Kit 12V 18 A/Hr batteries when using Solar Power or DAMAGE will fit in battery rack in operator. occur and VOID the warranty!
2.2 Power Select Jumper and Turning Power ON The “POWER SEL” jumper on the circuit board MUST be set correctly or operator will not function correctly. DO NOT To power up operator: turn DC power cycle the operator until the “DIP-Switches” and the “Limit Switches” switch ON.
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 DIP-switches on the circuit board are changed, reset button MUST be pressed before the new setting will take effect.
3.2 DIP-Switch Settings for 4100 Circuit Board 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, reset button must be pressed for the new setting to take affect.

3.2 DIP-Switches Continued SW-1 Switch (Top 8 switches on circuit board) Must OPEN the operator’s gate upon initial AC power up and Switch 1 - Operator Opening Direction: Typical Settings open command. If the first open command begins to close the gate, turn AC power off and reverse this SW 1 Opening - RT/LT switch.
3.3 Limit Switches Open and Close Limits MUST be Set The operator normally stops a cycling gate using the open and close limits. If the limits have not been set, the gate could continue beyond its full open and close positions, damaging the gate and operator. DO NOT allow this to occur! “Opening Direction”...
3.4 Inherent Reverse Sensor Adjustment This vehicular gate operator is equipped with an inherent adjustable reversing sensor (Type A) used as the primary entrapment protection system according to UL 325 standards. The gate will reverse direction after “physically” encountering an obstruction in either the opening or closing gate cycle.
SECTION 4 - ENTRAPMENT AND SAFETY PROTECTION Secondary Entrapment Protection Devices: In addition to the inherent reversing sensor system, the Model 9024 has a UL 325 terminal for the connection of photo sensors-Type B1 and reversing edges-Type B2 secondary entrapment protection devices required by UL 325 standards. Entrapment protection devices must be installed to reduce the risk of injury.
4.2 Secondary Entrapment Protection Device Locations Typical UL Photo Sensor mounting height If the distance between the gate and distance away from gate. and wall is greater than 2 1/4”. Filler Post or Barrier Non-Secure Side Secure Side Outside Property Inside Property 5”...

4.3 Loop Detector Wiring To help protect the operator from accidentally closing on vehicles in the gate’s path, DoorKing highly recommends that loops and loop detectors be installed. Loops are laid underneath, cut into asphalt or concrete driveways or buried beneath gravel and earth driveways.
SECTION 5 - MAIN TERMINAL WIRING 5.1 Terminal Descriptions Terminals 1, 2 and 3 are ALWAYS powered up. Even when circuit board has powered down to manage the UL 325 Terminal power drain on the batteries. See pages 27 - 29 ONLY connect opening devices to terminal 2.
5.2 Control Wiring UL 325 10-Pin Terminal 3-Wire Important: Radio Controls UL 325 intended for user activation Receiver See pages 27 - 29 must be located at least ten (10) feet away from any 3-Pin moving part of the gate and Remote e Gat Slid...
SECTION 6 - 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.
6.2 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. Soft Shutdown (NO Alarm will Sound) This occurs in various situations where the inherent or secondary entrapment protection devices have been activated.
6.3 Manual Gate Operation Caution: Never attempt to manually operate any gate until you have verified that power to operator has been shut-off. Pull Manual Release Handle Pull straight OUT as far as possible and then UP. Release Handle With handle in UP position, slide back down to lock it in manual release position. Manually Push Gate to Desired Position 9024-066-A-1-15...
SECTION 7 - 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. 7.1 Maintenance When servicing the gate operator, always check any secondary (external) reversing devices (loops, photocells, 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.
7.3 Troubleshooting Have a good VOM meter with Min/ Max test button 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.
