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) A Installed on the fence to help minimize the potential of Warning Signs B Helps minimize the potential of entrapment during Fence 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 9050 operator is designed to be installed on these gate types. See the next 4 pages for specific operator mounting positions. Individual installations and physical stops can vary. • 300 lb max. weight per gate. • Single Operator - 16 ft max. gate length. • Dual Operators - 32 ft max. total gate length.
1.4 Operator Mounting Positions The Model 9050 operator is designed to be installed in the front, rear, center or ceiling mounting positions shown on this page and the next 3 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 determined, the chain idler wheels may need to be adjusted BEFORE the operator is mounted.

1.7 Mounting Operator and Chain Prior to mounting the operator, be sure that the correct chain knockouts have been removed and chain idler wheels are in the correct position (top, center or bottom). Fail-Secure Manual Release Kit Installation Note: It is easier to install the 2600-862 fail-secure manual release kit before mounting the operator and attaching the chain. Refer to the instruction sheet supplied with the kit for installation.
Endless Idler Assembly (On Select Installations) DoorKing offers an endless idler assembly with a protective cover designed for the Model 9050 installations (P/N 2600-818). Make sure the endless idler assembly is securely fastened to the wall or post (Depending on which type of installation will be used). Extreme force will be exerted on this assembly during gate cycling.
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.
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. Every time the operator is powered up, the First open command will automatically run “Multiple gate cycles” that will locate and remember the gate’s open and close positions (See page 22). 3.
3.2 DIP-Switch Settings The 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.
3.3 Automatic Open / Close Limit Adjustment The operator’s open/close limits DO NOT have to be physically adjusted. Every time the operator is powered up, the first open command will automatically run “Multiple gate cycles” that will locate and remember the gate’s open and close positions. These positions are determined by the physical stops that have been installed (See section 1.2, page 10).
3.4 Clutch Adjustment In addition to the inherent reverse sensor, this operator is equipped with a mechanical slip clutch (UL 325 Type C) to further reduce the possibility of injury should an entrapment occur. DO NOT over tighten the clutch to compensate for a gate that is damaged, poorly constructed or too heavy. Over tightening the clutch would create a hazard which could result in serious injury or death to persons who may become entrapped.
SECTION 4 - ENTRAPMENT AND SAFETY PROTECTION Secondary Entrapment Protection Devices: In addition to the inherent reversing sensor system, the Model 9050 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. If the distance between the gate and wall is greater than 2 1/4”. Secure Side Non-Secure Side Inside Property Outside Property 5” or Less Gate Frame Reversing Edge (Open Contact Sensor) UL sensor mounted on wall. Gate Frame UL sensor mounted on post. 5” or Less Filler Post or Barrier Wall 21” Typical Photo sensors may be installed on either side of gate frame.
Wireless Reverse Edge Sample Setup - Single Receiver 9 V battery operated transmitter mounted on gate. 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). 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 5 - MAIN TERMINAL WIRING 5.1 Main Terminal Description • When gate is closed, this input will open gate to full position. • When gate is closing, input will reverse gate. DANGER ON • When gate is open and auto close timer Switch 2 is turned OFF, input will close gate. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 • When gate is open and auto close timer Switch 2 is turned ON, input will re-set and hold timer.
5.2 Control Wiring for Single/Primary Operator Important: Controls must be far enough from the gate so that the user is prevented from coming in contact with the gate while operating the controls. Outdoor or easily accessible controls should have a security feature to prevent unauthorized use. 3-Wire Radio Receiver 24 Volt, 250 mamp. Max.
5.3 Bi-Parting Gates Wiring - Dual Gate Operators • Separate power source for photo sensors (See page 24). Bi-Parting Gates Secondary Entrapment Protection Devices Closing Non-Contact Sensor To Close Photo #2 Fence Filler Post if necessary (See page 8 for more information). Opening Non-Contact Sensor Opening Contact Sensor Gate To Close Photo #2 Fence Opening Contact Sensor Filler Post if necessary (See page 8 for more information).
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 The operator is in a hard shutdown condition when the audio alarm is sounding OR “chirping” every 5 seconds. • Before resetting a hard shutdown, determine why the shutdown occurred. Inspect the gate for any obstructions along its path that could have activated the inherent entrapment sensing system. Inspect the gate and gate hardware. The audio alarm will sound for five minutes, or until the operator’s reset button is pushed.
Fail-Secure Manual Release System (Owner Installed) This manual release system (Installed 2600-862 Fail-Secure Manual Release Kit) allows the gate to be manually operated ONLY after unlocking the gate operator. Power outages or turning power off WILL NOT allow gate to be manually operated without physically unlocking the gate operator with the key first. This option is typically used in Class III and Class IV applications.
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. T NO tch DO e clu ov e. rem plat 7.1 Maintenance When servicing the gate operator, always check any secondary (external) reversing devices (loops, photocells, etc.) for proper operation.
7.2 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 terminals, motor capacitor and the motor. 1. Check the input indicator LEDs.
Symptom Gate opens a short distance, then stops and reverses. Gate opens but will not close. Gate closes but will not open. Possible Solution(s) • • • • Check that the clutch is adjusted properly and is not slipping. Disconnect the gate from the gate operator and check that the gate slides freely without any binding. Re-adjust the reverse sensitivity. Check that the magnetic pickup transistors on control board are not obstructed by excess wires.
