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.
Slide 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. UL 325 56.8.4.b) Adjacent fence that covers open gate position.
Slide Gate Protection Entrapment protection devices are required to reduce the risk of injury. Install sensors where the risk of entrapment or obstruction exists while gate is moving. Individual requirements will vary. Contact Sensor (Reversing Edges) Warning Signs A Installed on the fence to help minimize the potential of entrapment between the gate and fence. A filler post or barrier may need to be installed between fence and gate.
SECTION 1 - INSTALLATION Prior to beginning the installation of the slide 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 compliant with UL 325 safety and ASTM F2200 construction standards. The proper installation of the vehicular slide gate operator is an extremely important and integral part of the overall access control system.
1.3 Typical Gate Types The Model 9000 operator is designed to be installed on any of these gate types. See the next 3 pages for specific operator mounting positions. • Steel or Aluminum. • 1,500 lb max. weight per gate (1 HP motor). • Chain tray recommended for gates over 20 ft. (Post mount installation when using a chain tray.) • Single operator - 35 ft max gate length. Dual operators - 70 ft max gate length. .
1.4 Operator Mounting Positions The Model 9000 operator is designed to be installed in the front, rear and center mounting positions shown on this page and the next 2 pages. V-wheel V-rail ornamental gates are shown as examples but other gate types on the previous page can use the same mounting setups. Once the mounting position has been selected, refer to pages 15 thru 18 for specific installation instructions. Front Position with Concrete Pad Standard method of installation.
Rear Position with Concrete Pad Idler Wheels and Chain Setup Hides the chain from outside the property looking in. • Set one chain Idler wheel at the top and one in the center position. A filler post or barrier may need to be installed between the gate and wall area (See page 8 for more information). Top View Additional hardware required. Endless idler assembly (P/N 2600-818) and additional chain #40 (P/N 2600-442 - 20 ft. per box) may be needed.
Center Position with Post Mount Kit Hides the chain from outside the property looking in. Allows the use of DoorKing’s chain tray kit to attach to gate. This is useful with long gates. It supports the chain’s weight and helps prevent chain “stretching”. Idler Wheels and Chain Setup • Set operator chain idler wheels in the bottom position. See next page and the post mount instruction sheet included with the kit for more information about post installation.

SECTION 2 - AC POWER TO OPERATOR(S) 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 Bi-Parting Gates Wiring - Dual Gate Operators Connect the Primary/Secondary operators together with DoorKing’s interconnection cable (P/N 2600-75x) as shown. 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. Two conduits (High voltage and low voltage) will need to be provided to the secondary operator when NOT using DoorKing’s UL listed, wet environment interconnection cable.
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 DIP-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.
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 Switches P2 Full Open and Close Limits MUST be Set The operator normally stops a cycling gate using the open and close limits. If the limits have not been set, the gate could continue beyond its full open and close positions, damaging the gate and operator.
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 Devices: In addition to the inherent reversing sensor system, the Model 9000 has a 6-pin UL 325 terminal for the connection of photo sensors-Type B1 and reversing edges-Type B2 secondary entrapment protection devices 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 obstruction exists while the gate is moving.
4.2 Secondary Entrapment Protection Device Locations Typical UL Photo Sensor mounting height and distance away from gate. Non-Secure Side Secure Side Outside Property Inside Property Filler Post or Barrier Reversing Edge (Open Contact Sensor) 5” or Less Gate Frame 5” or Less If the distance between the gate and wall is greater than 2 1/4”. UL sensor mounted on post. 21” Typical Gate Frame UL sensor mounted on wall. Wall Photo sensors may be installed on either side of gate frame.
Wireless Reverse Edge Sample Setup - Single Receiver Edge Transmitter Normally Open Filler Post Note: Install reversing edges on all the gate support posts or filler post in this area (e.g. cantilever gate installations, See below). 9 V battery operated transmitter mounted on gate. Normally Open Common Wall Filler Post (If necessary) Opening-Direction Reversing Edge (If filler post is used).
4.3 Loop Detector Wiring To help protect the operator from accidentally closing on vehicles in the gate’s path, DoorKing highly recommends that loops and loop detectors be installed. Loops are laid underneath, cut into asphalt or concrete driveways or buried beneath gravel and earth driveways. 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.

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 (NO Alarm will Sound) This occurs in various situations where the inherent or secondary entrapment protection devices have been activated.
6.3 Manual Gate Operation Caution: Never attempt to manually operate any gate until you have verified that power to the operator has been shut-off. 1 Pull Manual Release Handle Pull straight OUT as far as possible and then UP. 2 Release Handle With handle in UP position, slide back down to lock it in manual release position.
SECTION 7 - 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. 7.1 Maintenance When servicing the gate operator, always check any secondary (external) reversing devices (loops, photocells, etc.) for proper operation.
7.3 Troubleshooting Have a good VOM meter with Min/ Max test button 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) Secondary operator motor will not run. • Check that SW-1, switch 6 is ON. • Press secondary operator motor reset button firmly. • Remove circuit board. Momentarily jumper terminal 19 to the primary/secondary interconnection cable terminal 1, then to terminal 2 with a 14 AWG insulated jumper wire. CAUTION – HIGH VOLTAGE. The secondary motor should run one way, then the other way as power is applied to each terminal.
