Pedestrian Non-Contact Sensor LOOP DoorKing offers a way to control vehicular traffic AND help protect pedestrians from a lowering arm. The arm will NOT allow a tailgating vehicle unauthorized entry, BUT protects pedestrians from a lowering arm when they are in the arm’s swing path.
Perimeter Access Management Solution (PAMS) application allows open and close cycle sequencing of a DoorKing barrier gate operator and a DoorKing slide or swing gate operator. For detailed PAMS wiring information, refer to the PAMS Technical Information and Wiring Manual.
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. Loop detector wiring shown is for DoorKing model 9409 Dual Channel, 9410 Single Channel and 9411 Single Channel with Aux Relay plug-In loop detectors only.
