2.1 High Voltage Wire Run 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.
2.3 Bi-Parting Gates Wiring - Dual Gate Operators Connect the Primary/Secondary operators together with DoorKing’s interconnection cable as shown (Different lengths sold separately P/N 2600-75x). 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.
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 4405 Circuit Board Descriptions and Adjustments Auto-Close Timer ON Auto-close timer (when turned on) SW 1, switch 4. SW 1 ON See pages 26 and 27.
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. Check and review ALL switch settings prior to applying power to the operator.
3.2 Continued Switch Definitions ON 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 SW 1 (Top 8 Switches) Typical Settings Switch 1 Must OPEN the primary operator’s gate upon initial AC power up and open command. If the FIRST open command begins to close the gate, turn AC power off and reverse this switch. Switch 2 Must OPEN the secondary operator’s gate upon initial AC power up and open command. If the FIRST open command begins to close the gate, turn AC power off and reverse this switch.
3.3 Limit Sensors Important Limit Sensor Adjustment Note: The hub must not slip during operation. Tighten nut to stop any slipping. CAUTION It is very important NOT to cycle the gate operator before the limit sensors are in the correct position or it could cause damage to the gate and operator. DO NOT REMOVE HUB! HUB Loosen set screw to adjust the limit sensor. Release Tool E OS CL Magnetic Sensor Activator Magnetic Close Limit Sensor ONLY turn ON AC power.
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.
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. Each time the wire passes through the coil, it is considered a turn.
SECTION 4 - ENTRAPMENT AND SAFETY PROTECTION Secondary Entrapment Protection Device: In addition to the inherent reversing sensor system, the Model 6500 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. Install these devices where the risk of entrapment or a hazard exists while the gate is moving. Specific installations will vary. 4.

SECTION 6 - OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 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. 4. Test the operator monthly. The gate MUST reverse on contact with a rigid object or stop or reverse when an object activates the non-contact sensors.
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. Soft Shutdown This occurs in various situations where the inherent or secondary entrapment protection devices have been activated.
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). An alarm-reset switch can be mounted external of the gate operator provided that it is installed in the line of sight of the gate and gate operator. • Before resetting a hard shutdown, determine why the shutdown occurred.
Manual Release A 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. B Remove release tool and place where shown. C Release hub. Gate can now be manually operated.
SECTION 7 - OPTIONAL CONVENIENCE OPEN ADJUSTMENTS The optional convenience open system installed in your vehicular gate operator is designed as a convenience enhancement only. It is not designed or intended to provide continuous gate operation during a power outage. Its sole purpose is to provide a method to open the vehicular gate to allow unimpeded traffic flow when the gate and access control system is without power.
7.2 DC System Description Do Not Adjust Timer Not Used Do Not Adjust Charging LED Gate will automatically OPEN and stay open during an AC power failure. DIP-Switch 3 setting will determine how operator will return to normal operation AFTER AC power has been restored.
SECTION 8 - 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. 8.1 Maintenance When servicing the gate operator, always check any secondary (external) reversing devices (loops, photo eyes, etc.) for proper operation.
8.2 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 17 through 20, the motor capacitor and the motor. 1. Check the input indicator LEDs.
Symptom Possible Solution(s) Gate will not reverse • Check ERD setting. when an obstruction • Make sure operator hub does not slip when gate encounters an obstruction. is encountered. Gate opens a short distance, then stops and reverses. • Check the reversing sensitivity. • Disconnect gate from the gate operator and check that the gate swings freely without any binding. • Continue troubleshooting or replace the circuit board. Gate opens but will not close. • Check the input LEDs.
8.3 Built-in Diagnostics This gate operator is designed with built-in diagnostics that will alert you to potential or existing problems that the microprocessor has detected. Specific fault conditions are checked and the operator will signal that a fault exist through the built-in alarm. Constant tone is heard when power is applied: This indicates that the limit switch wire harness is not connected to the circuit board.
