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.
Swing Gate Requirements The operator is intended for installation only on gates used for vehicles. Pedestrians must be supplied with a separate access opening. The pedestrian access opening shall be designed to promote pedestrian usage. Locate the gate such that persons will not come in contact with the vehicular gate during the entire path of travel of the vehicular gate. (ref. UL325 56.8.4.
Swing Gate Protection C Non-contact Sensor Minimizes the potential of the gate closing on vehicular or other traffic that loops cannot sense. Reverse Loop Minimizes the potential of the gate closing when a vehicle is present. Number and placement of loops is dependent on the application. D C D D Warning Signs Shadow Loop Permanently mounted and easily visible from either side of the gate. Provides a hold open command to the operator(s) only if the gate(s) are at the full open position.
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.
1.3 Concrete Pad and Conduit Locations Once the location of the operator pivot point has been determined, construct a form for the concrete pad (reinforced concrete recommended) approximately 22” wide by 28” long and 4” minimum above the ground. The depth of the pad underground is determined by soil conditions and local building codes. Install any underground conduit running through the concrete pad (See section 2.1, Conduit Requirements). Pour concrete and let it cure completely (48 hours).

1.7 Installation of Warning Signs This DoorKing Swing Gate Operator is shipped with two warning signs. The purpose of the warning sign is to alert uninformed persons, and to remind persons familiar with the gate system, that a possible hazard exists so that appropriate action can be taken to avoid the hazard or to reduce exposure to the hazard. • Permanently install the supplied warning signs in locations so that the signs are visible by persons on both sides of the gate.
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.
2.2 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. The wire table is based on stranded copper wire.
2.4 Control Wiring • 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. • Secondary device wiring shows inputs to the circuit board only. Photo-cells must be supplied with power.
2.5 Loop Detector Wiring • If other detectors are used, use a separate power supply to power these detectors. • Loop layout shown is for a typical swing gate application with two-way traffic, or one-way exit only traffic. • Refer to the Loop Information Manual (available from www.dkaccess.com) for more information on loops and loop detectors. Loops and loop detectors MUST be installed with this gate operator to help prevent the gate from accidentally closing on vehicular traffic.

SECTION 4 - 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.
4.2 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 • Be sure that power is removed or shut-off prior to placing the gate operator in manual operation. A Unlock the cover and rotate sliding door. B Remove release tool and place where shown. C Release hub. Gate can now be manually operated.
SECTION 5 - 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.

SECTION 6 - 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. 6.1 Maintenance When servicing the gate operator, always check any secondary (external) reversing devices (loops, photo eyes, etc.) for proper operation.
6.2 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 the gate from the gate operator and check that the gate swings freely without any binding. • Replace the circuit board. Gate opens but will not close. • Check the input LEDs.
6.3 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.
