SECTION 2 - AC POWER TO OPERATOR(S) 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.
2.2 Bi-Parting Gates Wiring - Dual Gate Operators Connect the Primary/Secondary operators together with DoorKing’s interconnection cable (P/N 2600-75x) as shown. High voltage power and low voltage communications are supplied to the secondary operator by DoorKing’s UL approved cable that is run in a single conduit.
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 DIP-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 Settings for 4405 Circuit Board 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.

3.2 Continued Switch Definitions SW 1 (Top 8 Switches) Typical Settings Must OPEN the primary operator’s gate upon initial AC power up and open command. If the first open command Switch 1 begins to close the gate, turn AC power off and reverse this switch. Must OPEN the secondary operator’s gate upon initial AC power up and open command.
3.3 Limit Switches Full Open and Close Limits MUST be Set The operator normally stops a cycling gate using the open and close limits. If the limits have not been set, the gate could continue beyond its full open and close positions, damaging the gate and operator.
3.4 Inherent Reverse Sensors Adjustment This vehicular gate operator is equipped with an inherent adjustable reversing sensor (Type A) used as the primary entrapment protection system according to UL 325 standards. The gate will reverse direction after “physically” encountering an obstruction in either the opening or closing gate cycle.
3.5 Secondary Current Sensor Adjustment (Dual Gates ONLY) The PRIMARY gate operator’s “secondary reversing sensor” uses a secondary current sensing device (Located only in the primary operator) to detect any obstructions “physically” encountered in the SECONDARY gate path when using dual gates. The secondary current sensor uses a sensing coil with a given number of turns through it to monitor the current flow into the secondary operator.
SECTION 4 - ENTRAPMENT AND SAFETY PROTECTION Secondary Entrapment Protection Devices: In addition to the inherent reversing sensor system, the Model 9000 has a 6-pin UL 325 terminal for the connection of photo sensors-Type B1 and reversing edges-Type B2 secondary entrapment protection devices required by UL 325 standards. Entrapment protection devices must be installed to reduce the risk of injury.

SECTION 6 - 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.
6.2 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. Soft Shutdown (NO Alarm will Sound) This occurs in various situations where the inherent or secondary entrapment protection devices have been activated.
6.3 Manual Gate Operation Caution: Never attempt to manually operate any gate until you have verified that power to the operator has been shut-off. Pull Manual Release Handle Pull straight OUT as far as possible and then UP. Release Handle With handle in UP position, slide back down to lock it in manual release position.
SECTION 7 - 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. 7.1 Maintenance When servicing the gate operator, always check any secondary (external) reversing devices (loops, photocells, etc.) for proper operation. If external reversing devices cannot be made operable, do not place this operator in service until the malfunction can be identified and corrected.
7.3 Troubleshooting Have a good VOM meter with Min/ Max test button 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.
