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 9100 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.
1.9 Chain Tray Kit Installing the Chain Tray Kit A chain tray is recommended for gates longer than 20 ft. to support the weight of the chain. DoorKing offers a chain tray kit in sections to fit any length gate. (DoorKing P/N 2601-270 10 Ft. section) Chain Tray Supporting Bracket (Facing up) Ft. Carriage Bolts Se gm ent Weep Hole Chain Tray Segments Connection 10 Ft.
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 9100 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 24). 3.
3.2 DIP-Switch SW 1 and SW 2 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 Continued SW 2 (Right 8 Switches) Switch Function 1 Exit Loop Port Output Setting Jumper Wire Needed Full Open Input 2 Stops Gate Partial Open (14 Ft) 4 Built-in Solenoid Lock 5 Operator Model Select 6 Quick-Close Timer Override 7 and 8 Gate Close Back-Off Position OFF A plug-in exit loop detector plugged into the EXIT Loop port will partially open single operator or fully open dual operators depending on type of loop detector used). ON Normal Setting.
3.3 Automatic Open / Close Limit Adjustment The 9100’s open/close limits DO NOT have to be physically adjusted. Every time the 9100 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 9100 has a 5-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 5” or Less Reversing Edge (Open Contact Sensor) Gate Frame UL sensor mounted on wall. Gate Frame UL sensor mounted on post. Note: Additional photo sensors can be added above the 27.5” height.
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 - WIRING 5.
5.2 Control Wiring for Single/Primary Operator Important: Controls intended for user activation must be located at least six (6) feet away from any moving part of the gate and where the user is prevented from reaching over, under, around or through the gate to operate the controls. Emergency access controls only accessible by authorized personnel (e.g., fire, police, EMS) may be placed at any location in the line-of-sight of the gate. Relay - #2 - Fully opens gate. #5 - Opens gate 14-feet.
5.3 Auxiliary Device Wiring Blue Alarm Reset Terminal Red Alarm Output Terminal White Common Terminal Remote Alarm Reset Station (DoorKing P/N 1404-080 Only) MUST be located in the line-of-sight of the gate and no further than 50 feet from the gate. 1 2 3 4 5 EXIT LOOP KEY SWITCH 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 Gate Tracker (Quad Box Shown) DoorKing Access Control System (Model 1833, 1835, 1837 or 1838) tracker system can be connected.
5.4 Bi-Parting Gates Wiring - Dual Gate Operators • Separate power source for photo sensors (See page 26). Secondary Entrapment Protection Devices for Bi-Parting Gates Closing Non-Contact Sensor To Close Photo #2 Fence Filler Post if necessary (See page 4 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 4 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. 40 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.
