    2.1 High Voltage Wire Runs 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.

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. Two conduits (High voltage and low voltage) will need to be provided to the secondary operator when NOT using DoorKing’s UL listed, wet environment interconnection cable.

  • Page 19: Section 3 - Adjustments

    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.

    3.2 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.

  • Page 23: Inherent Reverse Sensors Adjustment

    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.

  • Page 24: Secondary Current Sensor Adjustment

    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.

  • Page 25: Section 4 - Entrapment And Safety Protection

    SECTION 4 - ENTRAPMENT AND SAFETY PROTECTION Secondary Entrapment Protection Device: In addition to the inherent reversing sensor system, the Model 6550 has a 6-pin UL 325 terminal for the connection of photo sensors-Type B1 secondary entrapment protection device required by UL 325 standards. Entrapment protection devices must be installed to reduce the risk of injury.

  • Page 31: Shutdown Conditions

    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.

  • Page 32: Manual Gate Operation

    Resetting a Hard Shutdown When the operator is in a hard shutdown condition (audio alarm activated or audio alarm “chirps” every 5 seconds), the only way to reset the gate operator and return it to normal operation is to activate the alarm reset input (auxiliary terminals 2 and 3).

  • Page 33: Manual Release

    Manual Release • Be sure that power is removed or shut-off prior to placing the gate operator in manual operation. Unlock the cover and rotate sliding door. Never attempt to manually push open any gate with an operator attached to it until you have verified that power to the operator has been shut-off.

  • Page 34: Section 7 - Maintenance And Troubleshooting

    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, photo eyes, etc.) for proper operation.

  • Page 35: Troubleshooting

    7.2 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.
