1.4 OPERATOR INSTALLATION Prior to mounting the gate operator, be sure that the chain knockouts and chain idlers are set for the mounting position (front, center or rear) and the mounting option chosen (pad or post). Refer back to SECTION 1.2. 1.4.1 PAD MOUNTED OPERATORS •...
1.5 CHAIN INSTALLATION 1.5.1 FRONT – PAD MOUNT 1. Secure the chain brackets to each end of the gate so that the brackets are level with the top chain knockouts in the operator housing. Brackets should be attached to the inside of the frame so that the chain bolts, when attached, do not protrude beyond the frame of the gate (figure 10).
1.5.2 FRONT – POST MOUNT 1. Secure the chain brackets to each end of the gate so that the brackets are level with the bottom chain idlers in the operator housing. Brackets should be attached to the inside of the frame so that the chain bolts, when attached, do not protrude beyond the frame of the gate.
1.5.3 REAR – PAD OR POST MOUNT 1. Install an endless idler assembly (p/n 2600-818) at the gate opening between the gate and fence (figure 16, 18). Note that the chain is routed between the fence and the gate in this type of installation.
1.5.4 CENTER – POST MOUNT 1. Install an endless idler assembly (p/n 2600-818) at each end of the gate opening (figure 21). Note that the gate travels between the fence and the chain in this type of installation. IMPORTANT!! Be sure that the idler post/mount assembly is secure.
1.6 WARNING SIGN INSTALLATION This DoorKing slide gate operator is shipped with two warning signs. The purpose of the warning signs is to alert uniformed persons, and to remind persons familiar with the system, that a potential hazard may exist so that appropriate action can be taken to avoid the hazard or to reduce exposure to the hazard.
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 such work be performed by a licensed electrical contractor.

2.2 CONTROL WIRING Controls must be far enough from the gate so that the user is prevented from coming in contact with the gate while operating the controls. Outdoor or easily accessible controls should have a security feature to prevent unauthorized use. •...
2.3 SECONDARY ENTRAPMENT PROTECTION DEVICE WIRING Secondary entrapment protection devices must be installed to insure a safe operating environment and to reduce the risk of entrapment. This operator has inputs for non-contact sensors and contact sensors for both opening and closing gate cycles. Secondary entrapment protection may be provided by a combination of both type sensors.
2.3.2 CONTACT SENSORS • Disconnect power to the gate operator before installing the contact sensors. • Connect the contact sensors as shown below to the auxiliary terminal strip located on the 4602 control board. • Contact sensors must be located at the leading edge, trailing edge, and post mounted both inside and outside of the vehicular sliding gate.
2.4 LOOP DETECTOR WIRING Loops and loop detectors must be installed with this gate operator to prevent the gate from accidentally closing on vehicles that may be in the path of the gate. • Loop detector wiring is shown for DoorKing model 9406 Plug-In loop detector only. If other loop detectors are used, refer to the installation instructions supplied with those detectors for wiring requirements.
2.5 GATE TRACKER™ CONNECTIONS This gate operator is equipped with outputs from the circuit board that will report operator status to a companion DoorKing Access Control System (Model 1803PC, 1815, 1817 or 1818) when equipped with an optional Tracker expansion board. This report includes items such as gate operator cycle count, any shorted inputs, loop detector problems, any attempts to force the gate open, if the gate has struck anything during the open or close cycle, power interruptions, etc.
2.6 AUXILIARY DEVICES 2.6.1 ALARM RESET SWITCH The gate operator is equipped with a reset switch that will silence the entrapment alarm and return the operator to normal operation after a hard shutdown occurs. An auxiliary reset button may be added provided that the following condition is met.
2.7 MASTER / SLAVE WIRING 2.7.1 OPERATOR INTERFACE The interface wiring between the two operators requires four (4) 18 AWG wires for control plus two (2) additional 18 AWG wires for secondary entrapment protection device connection. Each operator must be connected to it's own power source as described in section 2.2. The loop functions are controlled by a two-channel loop detector (P/N 9404-010) plugged into the OPEN port on the operator that is designated as the master unit.
2.7.2 SECONDARY ENTRAPMENT PROTECTION DEVICE WIRING Secondary entrapment protection for slide gate operators connected in a master / slave configuration will require three sets of photo-beams to insure protection. • One photo-beam is directed across the roadway and connected to the CLOSE photo-beam input on the auxiliary terminal strip of both the master and slave operator.
2.8 TERMINAL IDENTIFICATION AND DESCRIPTION 2.8.1 MAIN TERMINAL RADIO RECEIVER LOW VOLTAGE COMMON RADIO RECEIVER FULL OPEN INPUT RADIO RECEIVER 24 VAC POWER – 250-ma MAX FULL OPEN / CLOSE INPUT When gate is closed, input will open gate to full position. When gate is open and auto close timer is turned on, input will re-set and hold timer.
2.8.2 AUXILIARY TERMINAL The auxiliary terminal is located on the 4602 circuit board just to the right of main terminals 8 and 9. Auxiliary terminals are numbered 1 through 5 with the first terminal at the top. 1. OPEN PHOTO-BEAM This input is only active when the gate is in the opening cycle.
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. 3.1 CIRCUIT BOARD ADJUSTMENTS •...
Fail-secure logic. Lock engages after each gate cycle. Model Select Normal setting. Switch must be OFF for models 9100 and 9150 operators. Switch is in the ON position for model 9200 operator only. Timer Override Normal gate operation.
(ON), once the input to terminal 6 is cleared, the gate will continue to close. This is typically used to help prevent tailgating. Switch 3: Switch must be in the OFF position for models 9100 and 9150. Switch 4: This switch determines the operation of the solenoid lock and is factory set. CAUTION: Do not change the setting of this switch unless the solenoid / lock assembly has been repositioned for the operation desired.
3.3 AUTOMATIC LIMIT ADJUSTMENT This gate operator does not use any mechanical limit switches or run timers to adjust the open and close positions of the gate. The gate open and close positions are determined by the physical stops (or chain stops) of the gate. The gate operator will automatically measure the gate and will set its "limits"...
3.4 INHERENT REVERSE ADJUSTMENT This vehicular gate operator is equipped with an inherent (Type A) entrapment sensing system. This system will sense an obstruction in either the opening or closing gate cycles and will cause the gate to reverse direction should an obstruction be encountered. For this system to function correctly, the gate must be properly installed and work freely in both directions.
3.4.2 CLUTCH ADJUSTMENT In addition to the reverse sensitivity adjustment, this operator is equipped with a mechanical slip clutch to further reduce the possibility of injury should an entrapment occur. Do not over tighten the clutch in this gate operator to compensate for a damaged or poorly constructed gate, or to compensate for a gate that is too heavy or that has damaged wheels or rollers.
SECTION 4 – OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS WARNING - To reduce the risk of injury or death: READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS. Never let children operate or play with gate controls. Keep the remote control away from children. Always keep people and objects away from gate. NO ONE SHOULD CROSS THE PATH OF THE MOVING GATE Test the operator monthly.
4.2 SHUTDOWN CONDITIONS Under various entrapment conditions the operator will assume either a soft or hard shutdown (alarm) condition. To determine what type of reset action is required, you will need to understand how the different entrapment conditions affect the gate operator. 4.2.1 SOFT SHUTDOWN This occurs in various situations where the inherent or secondary entrapment protection devices have been activated.
4.2.3 HARD SHUTDOWN A hard shutdown condition occurs when the inherent entrapment protection system has sensed two consecutive obstructions before the gate reaches the full open or full closed position. • Example: The gate is closing and the inherent entrapment protection system senses an obstruction and causes the gate to reverse direction.
4.3 MANUAL / EMERGENCY GATE OPERATION This operator is equipped with a manual release system that will allow the gate to be pushed open in the event of a power outage or equipment failure. There are two manual release systems that are available on this gate operator. The standard type release is the FAIL-SAFE system (required by many city codes), while an optional release is the FAIL-SECURE system.
4.3.3 FAIL-SECURE MANUAL OPERATION The FAIL-SECURE option locks the gate when primary (AC) power is removed and requires a keyed release to place the gate in manual operation. The FAIL-SECURE option is typically used in CLASS III and CLASS IV applications. •...
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, photo eyes, etc.) for proper operation.
5.2 TROUBLESHOOTING Have a good VOM meter 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.
