ASTM F2200 Standard for 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.
UL 325 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 See page 16 for typical dependent on the application.
INSTALLATION Prior to beginning the installation of the swing gate operator, we suggest that you become familiar with the instructions and illustrations in this manual. This will help insure that your installation is performed in an efficient and professional manner compliant with UL 325 safety and ASTM F2200 construction standards.
Installation of 6400 The gate MUST be completely supported by the gate hinges and NOT allowed to rest on the 6400. The foundation box MUST have a drain pipe installed with the correct slope for proper drainage. Improper drainage of the foundation box will result in stagnant water that will lead to operator failure eventually.
Installation of 6400 Continued Gate Connection to 6400 U-Channel Dimensions The fabricated U-channel will vary depending on the width of the gate frame (D). F r a F a b r i c a t e - C h 1 ” a n n / 2 ”...
Drive Motor Orientation and Components Installation The drive motor orientation determines the opening direction of the gate. It may need to be unbolted and flipped 180° to allow the gate to open in a specific direction. Limit assemblies will need to be moved accordingly. LIMIT ASSEMBLIES are factory set to open the gate counter-clockwise.
Mounting Control Box with Conduit Permanent wiring must be installed to the operator as required by local electrical codes (See the 115 VAC control box Wiring/Owner’s manual or Solar control box Wiring/Owner’s manual to wire operator). It is recommended that a licensed electrical contractor perform this work.

Install 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.
Photo Sensor Positions Secondary Entrapment Protection Device: In addition to the inherent reversing sensor system, the Model 6400 has a 6-pin UL 325 terminal for the connection of photo sensors-Type B1 secondary entrapment protection device required by UL 325 standards (see 115 VAC or Solar control box wiring manual). Entrapment protection devices must be installed to reduce the risk of injury.
