2.1 High Voltage Wire Runs The 9245 draws significant power and each operator should have a “Dedicated” circuit breaker at 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.

3.6 AC Module Adjustment The 9245 model is equipped with an AC module that allows you to adjust the speed of the gate from 0 to 2 feet per second. To adjust the speed, simply rotate the speed control knob clockwise to increase the gate speed, or counter-clockwise to decrease the gate speed.
When the closing-direction reversing edge gets obstructed and the gate is traveling back to the open position and the opening-direction revering edge gets obstructed, the gate will stop and enter a soft shutdown condition (See page 34).

A loop detection system will sense a vehicle like a metal detector and send a signal to the gate operator preventing the gate from automatically opening or closing on a vehicle when it is in the gate’s path. DoorKing recommends that a licensed installer perform this work.
Terminal #4 jumpered to terminal #2 will FULLY open bi-parting gates using a dual channel plug-in loop detector installed in the exit loop port when using dual gate operators. DoorKing’s Remote alarm reset For long gate applications. An input device connected to station can be connected. See terminal #5 will open the gate to the partial open setting, page 31 for wiring.
