  • Page 4 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.

  • Page 5: Gate Construction

    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.
  • Page 6 RESTRICTIONS AND WARNINGS Install The Gate Operator Only If: • The operator is appropriate for the usage Class of the application. • All exposed pinch points are eliminated or guarded. • This operator is intended for installation only on swing gates used to control vehicular traffic. Pedestrians must be provided with a separate access opening.
  • Page 7 ENTRAPMENT PROTECTION This vehicular gate operator is equipped with an inherent adjustable current sensing system (Type A). 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.
  • Page 8 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.

  • Page 21: Main Terminal Control Wiring

    Use 18 AWG wire for all low voltage wiring, maximum distance 3000 feet. Use a low voltage surge suppresser, DoorKing P/N 1878-010 if low voltage wire runs exceed 1000 feet. All inputs to the terminal strip must be NORMALLY OPEN.

  • Page 22: Main Terminal Description

    Main Terminal Description 24V COMMON RADIO RELAY - SINGLE BUTTTON ACTIVATION INPUT When gate is closed, input will open gate. When gate is open and auto close timer is turned on, input will re-set and hold timer. When gate is open and auto close timer is turned off, input will close gate. When gate is closing, input will reverse gate.

  • Page 24: Secondary Entrapment Device Terminal Description

    Secondary Entrapment Device Terminal Description 1. OPEN PHOTO-BEAM This input is only active when the gate is in the opening cycle. If the open photo-beam is activated during the opening cycle, the gate will stop. The gate will remain stopped until the photo-beam input is cleared, at which time the gate will resume the open cycle.

  • Page 25: Loop Detector And Loop Wiring

    Loops and loop detectors are required to provide protection to vehicular traffic through the gate system. • Loop detector wiring is shown for DoorKing model 9405 and 9406 Plug-In loop detectors only. If other loop detectors are used, refer to the installation instructions supplied with those detectors for wiring requirements.

  • Page 28: Switch Settings

    Switch Settings The two DIP-switches located on the circuit board are used to program the actuators to operate in various modes and to turn on or off various operating features. Whenever a switch setting is changed, batteries and solar panels must be disconnected and power must be turned OFF. After the switch settings are changed, turn power back on and then re-connect the batteries and solar panels for the new setting to take affect.

  • Page 29: Switch Descriptions And Functions

    SW1 Switch 3: Determines if the output of the loop detector (DoorKing loop detectors only) plugged into the EXIT port will be sent directly to the microprocessor to open the gate, or if the output is directed to terminal 4 where it can then be connected to other input terminals.

  • Page 30: Reverse Sensitivity Adjustment

    Reverse Sensitivity Adjustment This vehicular gate operator is equipped with an inherent adjustable reverse sensor (Type A) that is used as the primary entrapment sensing system. Upon sensing an obstruction in either the opening or closing gate cycle, the gate operator will reverse direction. For this system to function correctly, the gate must be properly installed and work freely in both directions.

  • Page 31: Limit Switch Adjustment

    Limit Switch Adjustment The limit switches on this operator are adjustable to allow you to control the travel of the gate and to precisely set the full open and full closed position of the gate. This feature is especially useful in applications where the gate opens only partially, such as on a curved driveway.

  • Page 33: Section 4 - Operating Instructions

    SECTION 4 – OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 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. Soft Shutdown This occurs in various situations where the inherent or secondary entrapment protection devices have been activated.

  • Page 34: Hard Shutdown

    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 closed position. • Example: The gate is closing and the inherent entrapment protection system senses an obstruction and causes the gate to reverse direction.

  • Page 35: Manual Release

    Manual Release The gate can be operated manually from either side in the event of a power failure or malfunction by removing the cover and inserting the release key. NOTE: Never attempt to manually operate any gate with an operator attached to it until you have verified that power to the operator has been shut-off.

  • Page 37: Section 5 - Maintenance And Troubleshooting

    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. Maintenance Schedule When servicing the gate operator, always check any secondary (external) reversing devices (loops, photo eyes, etc.) for proper operation.

  • Page 38: Trouble Shooting

    If the malfunction persist, the problem is not with the loop system. For more information on trouble shooting loops and loop detectors, refer to your loop detector instruction sheet and to the DoorKing Loop and Loop Detector Information Manual.
