SECTION 1 - INSTALLATION Prior to beginning the installation of the swing 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 swing gate operator is an extremely important and integral part of the overall access control system.
1.2 Mounting Post/Base Plate Installation 1.2.1 Post Mount 1. 2. Screw the two mounting posts supplied into the operator mounting plate. Using the dimensions shown below, locate the mounting plate/post assembly as shown. Note that when the mounting plate/post assembly is properly located, the operator output shaft (Point C) will intersect an imaginary line drawn from the gate mounting bracket in the closed position (A1) to the gate mounting bracket in the open position (A2).
• • • The height requirement is determined by adjusting the mounting plate/post assembly so that the top of the mounting plate is 5 inches above the top of the gate rail (Figure 4). This will allow you to mount the gate bracket onto the bottom rail of the gate and will keep the crank and connecting arms level (see page 22, Figure 10).
1.2.2 Pad Mount 1. Using the dimensions shown below, locate the operator pad mount assembly as shown. Note that when the operator pad mount assembly is properly located, the operator output shaft (Point C) will intersect an imaginary line drawn from the gate mounting bracket in the closed position (A1) to the gate mounting bracket in the open position (A2). Once the location of the operator pad mount assembly has been determined, construct a form for the concrete pad according to Figure 3.
• The concrete pad is sized so that there is a minimum of three (3) inches of concrete around the perimeter of the pad. • Attach the gate bracket to the gate so that the top of the mounting plate is 5 inches above the top of the gate bracket as shown in Figure 7. This will keep the crank and connecting arms level (see page 22, Figure 10).
1.3 Mounting the Operator 1. 2. 3. Remove the operator from the shipping carton. Remove the cover from the operator. It is advisable to remove the conduit knockouts (as required) prior to mounting the operator onto the operator base plate. 1.3.1 Post Mounted Operators 1. 2. 3. 4. Place the operator on its side and remove 6 bolts and 4 nuts from the bottom frame (Figure 8). Gently place the operator on the mounting post assembly being sure to align all 6 nut plates and the 4 mounting bolts.
1.3.2 Pad Mounted Operators 1. Place the operator on its side and remove 4 bolts and 4 nuts from the bottom frame (Figure 9). 2. Gently place the operator on the pad mounting assembly being sure to align all 4 nut plates and the 4 mounting bolts. 3. Replace the 4 bolts and 4 nuts removed in step 1 to secure the operator to the pad mounting assembly. 4. Route conduits into the operator at this time.
1.4 Arm Assembly and Installation 12 Hinge Pad Mount 24 Post Mount Gate Bracket 37.5 Mounting Pad Figure 10 1.4.1 Crank Arm Assembly 1. Attach the crank arm and crank power arm to the operator output shaft using the supplied hardware (Figure 11). Position the arm so that it is pointing towards the gate. 2. Do not insert the lock pin or lock into the crank arm assembly at this time. It will be installed later. 3.
To Operator To Gate Figure 12 4. Slide the connector assembly (Figure 12) onto the crank arm so that the flange is away from the gate. 5. The connector assembly must be positioned on the crank arm at the correct distance from the operator shaft to allow the gate to open a full 90º (refer to figure 11 on the preceding page). 6. Adjust the connector assembly on the crank arm so that the distance from the center of the operator output shaft to the center of the pivot on the connector assembly is 24 inches.
1.4.3 Test Your Installation Gate Closed When the gate is fully closed, the drive and connecting arms should be in a straight line as shown in Figure 14. • Manually open the gate. The connecting arm should rotate beneath the drive arm and output shaft. When the gate is fully open, the drive arm should be directly over the connecting arm as shown in Figure 15. • If the gate does not open a full 90°, this means that the drive arm is too short. Re-check this measurement and reset the drive arm length.
1.6 Setup for Gates Opening other than 90° 1.6.1 Determine Location of the Operator 24.00 28.00 A1 36.00 13.00 Operator Housing 105.2° 44.5 A1:A2 A2 62.25 A1:C C 22.25 (A1:A2) / 2 = Crank Arm 1. 2. 3. 4. A1 to A2 = 44.5 inches. 44.5 divided by 2 = 22.25 inches (Crank Arm length). A1 to C = 62.25 inches. 62.25 minus 22.25 = 40 inches (Connecting Arm length). 42.00 Minimum side room required for shown mounting position.
1.6.2 Arm Length Calculations After the operator has been installed, use the following steps to determine the correct crank arm and connecting arm lengths for the installation. The measurements are from the pivot point to the pivot point of each arm – they are not the overall length of the arm. 1. 2. Page 26 Measure the distance from point A1 to point A2 (44.5 inches in our example). Divide this measurement by 2 (22.25 inches in our example).
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 a licensed electrical contractor perform this work.
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. The wire table is based on stranded copper wire.
2.2 Control Wiring B Diagram at right is for illustration purposes. The actual placement of the secondary protection devices is dependent on the specific installation requirements. Secondary entrapment protection devices must be installed with this gate operator. This protection may be provided by non-contact or contact sensors, or a combination of both. A A Secondary device wiring shows inputs to the circuit board only. Photo-cells must be supplied with power.
2.3 Loop Detector Wiring Loops and loop detectors MUST be installed with this gate operator to help prevent the gate from accidentally closing on vehicular traffic. Reverse Loop detector wiring is shown for DoorKing plug-in loop detectors only. If other loop detectors are used, refer to the installation instructions supplied with those detectors for wiring instructions. If other detectors are used, use a separate power supply to power these detectors.
2.4 Auxiliary Device Wiring 1 The auxiliary stop switch will stop a moving gate when activated or will prevent the gate operator from starting when activat ed. Note that this input is normally open and that a switch closure is required to activate the stop function . Because of this, the auxiliary stop shown must NEVER be used as a safety interlock device. 2 Jumper is placed across terminals 13 and 14 ONLY WHEN THE AUXILIARY STOP INPUT IS USED.
2.5 Primary / Secondary (Dual) Gate Wiring 1 Connect the Primary / Secondary interconnection wiring as shown. Wire colors are based on DoorKing interconnection cable (P/N 2600-75x). 2 Place a jumper from terminal 15 to terminal 16 in the PRIMARY operator. 3 Place a jumper from terminal 19 to terminal 20 in the SECONDARY operator. 4 Plug a two-channel (P/N 9409-010) loop detector into the REVERSE loop port in the PRIMARY operator. Connect loops and loop detector as shown.

2.7 Auxiliary Terminal Description The auxiliary terminal is located on the 4502 circuit board just to the right of main terminals 18 and 19. Auxiliary terminals are numbered 1 through 8. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. Page 34 ALARM OUTPUT Provides power to activate the entrapment alarm. ALARM RESET INPUT Input to reset the operator after an entrapment alarm. COMMON Common for alarm output and alarm reset input. TRACKER DATA Supplies gate operator data to Tracker expansion board (P/N 2351-010).
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 • Set the DIP-switches on the circuit board to the desired setting. See switch-setting charts in section 3.2.
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. Check and review ALL switch settings prior to applying power to the operator.
3.2.1 SW 1 (Top Switch) Description and Function Switches 1-2: These work in conjunction with each other and determine when the relay on the board will be activated. This relay can be used as a switch for various functions such as illuminating a warning light when the gate is moving, or turning on a green light when the gate is full open. This relay is not available for these uses if it is being used for the shadow loop function.
3.3 Automatic Limit Adjustment This gate operator does not use any limit switches or run timers to adjust the gate open and close positions. The gate open and close positions are determined by the physical stops on the crank arm. The gate operator will automatically measure the travel distance required and set its "limits" from this measurement during this initial automatic sequence.
3.4 Entrapment Sensing Adjustment This vehicular gate operator is equipped with an inherent adjustable clutch (Type C) that is used as the primary entrapment sensing system. The clutch will slip upon sensing an obstruction in either the opening or closing gate cycle and will cause the gate operator 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 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS WARNING - To reduce the risk of injury or death: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 4.1 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 closed position. • Example: The gate is closing and the inherent entrapment protection system senses an obstruction and causes the gate to reverse direction. As the gate begins to run in the open direction, a second obstruction is sensed prior to the gate reaching the full open position.
4.3 Manual 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. NOTE: 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. 4.3.1 Emergency Vehicle Access Conditions The automatic vehicular gate system must be designed to allow access to emergency vehicles under different operating conditions. 1.
To G at e on ne ct or Ar m bl y on ne ct or As se m C m Ar ra nk O pe ra to r C ! LL PU ele R e as If an attempt is made to force the gate open under normal operating conditions (AC power present), a tamper protect circuit will detect the forced entry and will start the motor to return the gate to the closed position. If Gate Tracker reporting is in use, a forced entry attempt transaction will be sent to the DoorKing access control system at this time. To • C 1.

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 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. Use caution when checking high voltage areas: terminals 1 through 6, the motor capacitor and the motor. 1. Check the input indicator LEDs.
Gate opens a short distance, then stops and reverses. Gate opens but will not close. Gate closes but will not open. Gate starts to close, then reverses to open. Gate closes and then re-opens. Alarm sounds for 5 minutes and then beeps once every 5 seconds. Operator will not run. Battery backup system will not open gate upon AC power outage. 6300-065-E-4-08 • Check that the clutch is adjusted properly and is not slipping.
