DoorKing 1601-295 Installation Manual

1601 BREAK-AWAY OCTAGON ARM INSTALLATION KIT
This kit is designed for a 1601 barrier gate operator ONLY. It CANNOT be used with 1602 or 1603 operators. The kit provides a
break-away bracket assembly for a octagon arm with OR without reverse/LED edge ONLY. When the arm is raised, LEDs turn
GREEN, and turns RED when lowered and remains RED in the down position. Arm will reverse if lowering and a obstruction is
encountered. If the arm is struck and breaks away (pivots in ONE DIRECTION ONLY, see below), gate operator will automatically
shut down. The arm manually snaps back into the release rollers to function normally again.
Break-Away Arm Direction Options
Arm will only pivot in ONE DIRECTION depending on which way the break-away arm bracket is installed. Choose the desired break-away
direction and install break-away arm bracket accordingly (note position of arm pivot bolt and release rollers).
