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.
Swing 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.
Swing Gate Protection Non-contact Sensor Minimizes the potential Reverse Loop of the gate closing on Minimizes the potential of the gate vehicular or other traffic closing when a vehicle is present. that loops cannot sense. Number and placement of loops is dependent on the application.
SECTION 1 - INSTALLATION Prior to beginning the installation of the swing 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. The proper installation of the vehicular swing gate operator is an extremely important and integral part of the overall access control system.

The operator is now ready for AC power. 1.8 Installation of Warning Signs This DoorKing Swing Gate Operator is shipped with two warning signs. The purpose of the warning sign is to alert uninformed persons, and to remind persons familiar with the gate system, that a possible hazard exists so that appropriate action can be taken to avoid the hazard or to reduce exposure to the hazard.
1.9 Gates Opening Wider Than 90° The installation of an operator opening gates wider that 90° is the same for 1.3 through 1.8 except the operator and concrete pad will be in a different position. Individual requirements can be calculated following this 105° demonstrated sample. Arm Assembly Connecting arm’s pivot point measurement 62.25”...
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.

2.8 Primary / Secondary (Dual) Gate Connection Connect the Primary / Secondary interconnection wiring as shown. Primary Operator Control Board Wire colors are based on DoorKing interconnection cable (P/N 2600-75x). Blue Power is supplied to the secondary operator by the interconnection cable.
Pulse 1 and 2 LEDs will blink as the operator(s) are running. They can be either ON or OFF when the operator(s) are stopped. One pulse LED for each operator used (Primary/Secondary). Tracker LEDs will flash as operator data is sent to the access Board Board controller (DoorKing Ground Power models 1833, 1835, 1837 or 1838 only).
This switch enables the 4502 circuit board to be used in either a swing gate or slide gate application. Some older DoorKing slide gate operators did use the 4501 circuit board for control. This switch is here to allow use of this board on these older products.

40 Lbs of force. This force can be measured with a gate scale, DoorKing P/N 2600-225. 3.6 Secondary Entrapment Protection System In addition to the mechanical slip clutch, this operator uses an inherent entrapment sensing system (Type A) to further reduce the possibility of injury should an entrapment occur.
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.
4.2 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.
Note: DoorKing operators have a built-in alarm reset push button mounted on the operator above the power ON-OFF toggle switch. Activating this button will return the gate operator to normal operation, but will not activate the gate operator.
• NO DC power. Gate Tracker reporting is in use, a forced entry attempt transaction will be sent to the DoorKing access control system at this time. Manual Release In addition to FAIL-SAFE manual operation, this operator also employs a locked release pin to place the gate in manual operation when primary (AC) power is removed.
If your access control system requires 100% power backup and continuous operation when primary (AC) power has failed, a power inverter / backup system, such as DoorKing’s Model 2000, is required. •...

If the gate operator starts, this indicates that a problem exist with the keying device and is not with the gate operator. 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) can be used with this gate operator. Others will cause a malfunc- tion.
