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.
UL325 Entrapment Protection Class I Class II A vehicular gate operator (or system) intended for use in a A vehicular gate operator (or system) intended for use in a home of one-to four single family dwelling, or a garage or commercial location or building such as a multi-family parking area associated therewith.
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.
Slide 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.
Slide Gate Protection Entrapment protection devices are required to reduce the risk of injury. Install sensors where the risk of entrapment or obstruction exists while gate is moving. Individual requirements will vary. Contact Sensor (Reversing Edges) Warning Signs Installed on the fence to help minimize the potential of Permanently mounted entrapment between the gate and fence.
Be sure your installation is in compliance with local codes. 1.1 Gate Hardware 1.2 Removing Cover DoorKing has a full line of tandem V-wheels Lift cover on padlock bracket that are ideal for heavy gates and will ensure end a few inches.
1.4 Concrete Pad Description Be sure the top of the concrete pad is level and a minimum of four (4) inches above ground level. We suggest that you contact the local building department to determine the required depth of the pad since soil conditions and code requirements vary from city to city.
Chassis Attach Operator Connect Chain to Chain Bracket c k e B r a to Concrete a i n DoorKing recommends twelve Chain (12) 1/2” x 3” sleeve anchors (not supplied). Master Adjust the chain nuts to tighten the Link chain.
1.6 Installation of Chain Tray A chain tray is recommended for longer gates to support the weight of the chain. DoorKing offers a chain tray and supporting brackets in sections to fit any length gate. (DoorKing P/N 2601-270 10 Ft. section)
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.
When gate is closing, input will reverse gate. 15 14 For long gate applications. This input will open the gate to the middle limit nut setting, DoorKing’s Remote alarm reset See page 24 for limit nut descriptions. station can be connected. See page 18 for wiring.
Note: All stand-alone and Green Close telephone entry devices must White Com use a separate power source. 3-Button Control Station DoorKing ONLY #1-Com Terminal #5 Connection #2-Fully opens gate. Fire Box SW 1 is Upside-Down on Board SW 1, switch 7 must be ON.
N.O. Magnet Disengaged Gate Tracker - 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 gate has struck anything during the open or close cycle, power interruptions, etc.
A loop detection system will sense a vehicle like a metal detector and send a signal to the gate operator preventing the gate from automatically opening or closing on a vehicle when it is in the gate’s path. DoorKing recommends that a licensed installer perform this work.

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 1 and SW 2 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.

Switch 3 Determines if the output of the loop detector (DoorKing loop detectors only) plugged into the EXIT port will be sent directly to the microprocessor to open the gate, or if the output is directed to Terminal #4 where it can then be connected to other input terminals.
Important: Turn power OFF and set speed controller 3.3 Limit Switches to maximum speed before adjusting limit nuts! Push and hold the lock plate down where shown to adjust the Open and Close limit nuts. After adjusting the limit-nuts, be sure that the lock-plate is engaged in the slots on the limit-nuts to prevent them from rotating.
3.4 Inherent Reverse Sensors Adjustment This vehicular gate operator is equipped with an inherent adjustable reversing sensor (Type A) that is used as the primary entrapment sensing system according to the UL 325 standards. The gate will reverse direction upon encountering an obstruc- tion in either the opening or closing gate cycle.
3.6 Speed Controller Adjustment Select 9500 models are equipped with a speed control module that allows you to adjust the speed of the gate from 0 to 2 ft/ sec or 0 to 4 ft/sec on the high speed models. To adjust the speed, simply rotate the speed control knob clockwise to increase the gate speed, or counter-clockwise to decrease the gate speed.
SECTION 4 - 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.
Inspect the gate and gate hardware. Note: DoorKing operators have a built-in alarm reset push button mounted on the operator. Activating this button will return the gate operator to normal operation, but will not cycle the gate operator.
4.3 Manual Gate Operation Caution: Never attempt to manually operate any gate until you have verified that power to the operator has been shut-off. Manually Remove the Cover Crank - Cuts off AC Interlock power to the operator. Inside Cover Catch Padlock Bracket...
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, photocells, etc.) for proper operation.
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 or 007) can be used with this gate operator. Others will cause a malfunction.
