IMPORTANT NOTICES Vehicular gate systems provide convenience to their users and limit vehicular traffic onto your property. These systems can produce high levels of force; therefore it is important that you are aware of possible hazards associated with your gate operating system. These hazards may include pinch points, entrapment, absence of controlled pedestrian access or traffic backup.
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. Always keep people and objects away from gate. NO ONE SHOULD CROSS THE PATH OF THE MOVING GATE.
RESTRICTIONS AND WARNINGS Install The Gate Operator Only If: • The operator is appropriate for the usage Class of the application and the gate is within the weight and length limitations specified for the operator. • All openings of a horizontal slide gate are guarded or screened from the bottom of the gate to a minimum of 4 feet (1.2 m) above the ground to prevent a 2 ¼...
ENTRAPMENT PREVENTION This vehicular gate operator is equipped with an inherent (Type A) entrapment sensing system. This system will sense an obstruction in both the opening and closing gate cycles, and will cause the gate to reverse direction should an obstruction be encountered. If the system detects a second obstruction before reaching the full open or close limit after the initial reversal, an alarm will activate and the operator will require a reset before resuming normal operation.
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. RESIDENTIAL VEHICULAR GATE OPERATOR-CLASS I - A vehicular gate operator (or system) intended for use in a home of one-to four single family dwelling, or garage or parking area associated therewith.
SECTION 1 - INSTALLATION Prior to beginning the installation of the slide 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 slide gate operator is an extremely important and integral part of the overall access control system.
1.2 CONCRETE PAD The model 9300 vehicular gate operator is designed to be mounted on a concrete pad. 1. Construct a form for the mounting pad according to the specifications shown below. Be sure to level the top edge of the form and that the top of the form is a minimum of four (4) inches above ground level.
1.3 OPERATOR INSTALLATION • Position the operator on the pad so that there is a minimum clearance of one (1) inch between the back of the operator housing and the gate. • IMPORTANT!! Be sure that the operator 90° is parallel to the gate! Installing the operator in any other manner will cause excessive chain noise, chain wear and...
1.4 CHAIN INSTALLATION 1. Secure the chain brackets to each end of the gate so that the brackets are level with the top chain cutouts 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.
1.7 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.
2.1 HIGH VOLTAGE CONNECTIONS Use Table 1 to determine high voltage wire size requirements. The distance shown in the chart is measured in feet from the operator to the power source. If power wiring is greater than the maximum distance shown, it is recommended that a service feeder be installed. When large gauge wire is used, a separate junction box must be installed for the operator connection.
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 PREVENTION DEVICE WIRING Secondary entrapment prevention devices must be installed to insure a safe operating environment and to reduce the risk of personnel entrapment. This operator has inputs for non-contact sensors and contact sensors for both opening and closing gate cycles. Secondary entrapment prevention 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 4402 control board. • Contact sensors may 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 If non-contact sensors are not utilized and installed as described in section 2.3.1, then 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. •...
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. 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 9405-010) 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 (P1) LOW VOLTAGE COMMON ALARM OUTPUT ALARM RESET INPUT EXIT LOOP LOGIC OUTPUT If SW 1, switch 3 is OFF, this terminal becomes the logic output of the loop detector plugged into the EXIT loop port (DoorKing loop detectors only). FULL OPEN / CLOSE INPUT When gate is closed, input will open gate to full position.
2.8.2 LIMIT SWITCH CONNECTOR (P2) The limit switch connector is located at the upper left-hand corner of the 4402 circuit board and provides input to the circuit board from the limit switches. OPEN LIMIT CLOSE LIMIT NOT USED LIMIT ENABLE LIMIT COMMON 2.8.3 REVERSING DEVICE CONNECTOR (P3) External entrapment prevention devices are connected here.
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 •...
3.2 SWITCH SETTINGS 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.
Switch 3: Sets the circuit board to function with slide gate operators (switch OFF) or overhead gate operators (switch ON). This switch must be left in the OFF position for model 9300 Slide Gate Operator.
3.3 LIMIT ADJUSTMENT Be sure that power to the operator is OFF. Push the gate to the open position. Adjust the OPEN limit nut so that it is activating the OPEN limit switch. Push the gate to the close position. Adjust the CLOSE limit nut so that it is activating the CLOSE limit switch.
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.
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. It can also be an indication that the gate is too heavy or that the gate hardware (wheels, rollers) is in poor condition and needs to be corrected.
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 OPERATOR DIAGNOSTICS This gate operator is designed with built-in diagnostics that will alert you to potential or existing problems that the microprocessor has detected. Specific fault conditions are checked and the operator will signal that a fault exist through the built-in alarm. Constant tone is heard when power is applied: •...
5.3 TROUBLE SHOOTING 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.
