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. The proper installation of the vehicular slide gate operator is an extremely important and integral part of the overall access control system.
1.2 Mounting Positions The Model 9100 operator is designed so that it can be installed in any of the mounting positions shown below. Once the mounting position has been determined, the chain idlers must be adjusted to accommodate the mounting position chosen before the operator is mounted to the pad or post. The idlers are factory set for the front, pad mount position. (Note: Rear and center position, and postmounted operators require additional hardware not supplied with the operator). 1.2.
1.2.3 Rear Position Pad or Post Mount • Set one chain idler at the top position and one chain idler at the center position on the same side of the operator. • Remove the top and bottom chain knockouts from the side of the operator. • Chain enters and exits the operator from the same side. Chain is attached to one end of the gate. • This mounting method hides the chain when looking at the gate from the front. • ADDITIONAL HARDWARE REQUIRED: Endless Idler Assembly P/N 2600-818.
1.3 Mounting Options Pad mounting can be used when the operator will be installed using either the front or rear mounting position. If the operator is to be center mounted, the post mounting method must be used. 1.3.1 Pad Mounted Operators 1. Construct a form for the mounting pad according to the specifications shown in figure 6. Be sure to level the top edge of the form and that the top of the form is a minimum of four (4) inches above ground level.
1.3.2 Post Mounted Operators Post mounting can be used when the operator will be installed in any of the three mounting positions, and must be used if the operator is to be center mounted. 1. Post mounting the operator requires Gate the use of an operator base plate (P/N 2600-418) and two (2) 4 X 4 steel post (not supplied) welded to the base plate as shown in figure 7. 4 x 4 Steel Post (not supplied) The length of the steel post and the depth of the pad are determined by soil conditions and local code 1.
1.4 Operator Installation Prior to mounting the gate operator, be sure that the chain knockouts and chain idlers are set for the mounting position (front, center or rear) and the mounting option chosen (pad or post). Refer back to SECTION 1.2. 1.4.1 Pad Mounted Operators • Position the operator on the pad so that there is a minimum clearance of one (1) inch between the back of the operator housing and the gate.
1.5 Chain Installation 1.5.1 Front – Pad Mount 1. Secure the chain brackets to each end of the gate so that the brackets are level with the top chain knockouts in the operator housing. Brackets should be attached to the inside of the frame so that the chain bolts, when attached, do not protrude beyond the frame of the gate (figure 10). 2. Route the chain through the gate operator: over the chain guide idlers and under the drive sprocket (figure 12). 3.
1.5.2 Front – Post Mount 1. Secure the chain brackets to each end of the gate so that the brackets are level with the bottom chain idlers in the operator housing. Brackets should be attached to the inside of the frame so that the chain bolts, when attached, do not protrude beyond the frame of the gate. 2. Route the chain through the gate operator: under the chain guide idlers and over the drive sprocket (Figure 15). 3. Slide each end of the chain through a chain stop (optional).
1.5.3 Rear – Pad or Post Mount 1. Install an endless idler assembly (p/n 2600-818) at the gate opening between the gate and fence (figure 16, 18). Note that the chain is routed between the fence and the gate in this type of installation. IMPORTANT!! Be sure that the idler assembly is securely attached to the gatepost, pilaster, etc. 2. Secure the chain brackets to the gate as shown in figure 16. The chain brackets should be attached to the gate frame so that they are approximately one (1) inch apart. 3.
1.5.4 Center – Post Mount 1. Install an endless idler assembly (p/n 2600-818) at each end of the gate opening (figure 21). Note that the gate travels between the fence and the chain in this type of installation. IMPORTANT!! Be sure that the idler post/mount assembly is secure. 2. Secure the chain brackets to the gate as shown in figure 19. The chain brackets should be attached to the gate frame so that they are approximately one (1) inch apart. 3.
1.6 Warning Sign Installation This DoorKing slide gate operator is shipped with two warning signs. The purpose of the warning signs is to alert uniformed persons, and to remind persons familiar with the system, that a potential hazard may exist so that appropriate action can be taken to avoid the hazard or to reduce exposure to the hazard. 1. Permanently install the supplied warning signs in locations so that the signs are visible by persons on both sides of the gate. 2.

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 such work be performed by a licensed electrical contractor.
2.1 High Voltage Connections Use Table 1 to determine high voltage wire size requirements. 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.
2.2 Control Wiring 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. Fence C Roadway D A C B Open contact sensor placed on fence. D 4602-010 Circuit Board 1 Receiver 3 A Open direction non-contact sensor. B Close direction non-contact sensor. 1 C Open direction contact sensor.
2.3 Loop Detector Wiring Loops and loop detectors must be installed with this gate operator to prevent the gate from accidentally closing on vehicles that may be in the path of the gate. Loops and loop detectors MUST be installed with this gate operator to help prevent the gate from accidentally closing on vehicular traffic. Loop detector wiring is shown for DoorKing plug-in loop detectors only.
2.4 Auxiliary Device Wiring 1 The auxiliary stop switch will stop a moving gate when activated or will prevent the gate operator from starting when activated. Note that this input is normally open and that a switch closure is required to activate the stop function. Because of this, the auxiliary stop shown must NEVER be used as a safety interlock device. 2 Jumper is placed across terminals 8 and 9 ONLY WHEN THE AUXILIARY STOP INPUT IS USED.
2.5 Primary - Secondary (Bi-parting) Gate Wiring The interface wiring between the two operators requires seven (7) wires (18 AWG minimum) for control and secondary entrapment protection device connection. Each operator must be connected to its own power source as described in section 2.1. D E A B C D E 1 Connect the Primary / Secondary interconnection wiring as shown. Wire colors are based on DoorKing interconnection cable (P/N 2600-75x).
2.6 Terminal Identification and Description 2.6.1 Main Terminal 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. RADIO RECEIVER LOW VOLTAGE COMMON RADIO RECEIVER FULL OPEN INPUT RADIO RECEIVER 24 VAC POWER – 250-ma MAX FULL OPEN / CLOSE INPUT When gate is closed, input will open gate to full position. When gate is open and auto close timer is turned on, input will re-set and hold timer. When gate is open and auto close timer is turned off, input will close gate.
2.6.2 Auxiliary Terminal The auxiliary terminal is located on the 4602 circuit board just to the right of main terminals 8 and 9. Auxiliary terminals are numbered 1 through 5 with the first terminal at the top. 1. OPEN PHOTO-BEAM This input is only active when the gate is in the opening cycle. An open photo-beam input during the opening cycle will cause the gate to stop. The gate will remain stopped until the photo-beam input is cleared, at which time the gate will resume the open cycle. 2.
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 Circuit Board Adjustments • Set the DIP-switches on the circuit board to the desired setting. See switch-setting charts in section 3.2.
3.2 Switch 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. SW 1 (LEFT SWITCH) SWITCH FUNCTION SETTING 1 Direction OFF ON Changes open / close direction of operator.
3.2.1 SW 1 (Left Switch) Description and Function Switch 1: Set so that the operator cycles open upon initial power up and open command. If the operator cycles close, turn power off and change the setting on this switch. Switch 2: Turns the auto close timer on or off. Set from 1 to 23 seconds. Switch 3: This switch should be left in the OFF position when the slide gate is running on a level track and the gate does not coast.
3.3 Automatic Limit Adjustment This gate operator does not use any mechanical limit switches or run timers to adjust the open and close positions of the gate. The gate open and close positions are determined by the physical stops (or chain stops) of the gate. The gate operator will automatically measure the gate and will set its "limits" from this measurement during this automatic sequence.
3.4 Inherent Reverse Adjustment This vehicular gate operator is equipped with an inherent (Type A) entrapment sensing system. This system will sense an obstruction in either the opening or closing gate cycles and will cause the gate to reverse direction should an obstruction be encountered. For this system to function correctly, the gate must be properly installed and work freely in both directions. A good set of ball bearing wheels (or rollers) is essential for proper slide gate operation. 3.4.
3.4.2 Clutch Adjustment In addition to the reverse sensitivity adjustment, this operator is equipped with a mechanical slip clutch to further reduce the possibility of injury should an entrapment occur. Do not over tighten the clutch in this gate operator to compensate for a damaged or poorly constructed gate, or to compensate for a gate that is too heavy or that has damaged wheels or rollers. Doing this can create a hazard which can result in serious injury or death to persons who may become entrapped.
SECTION 4 – OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS WARNING - To reduce the risk of injury or death: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 4.1 READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS. Never let children operate or play with gate controls. Keep the remote control away from children. Always keep people and objects away from gate. NO ONE SHOULD CROSS THE PATH OF THE MOVING GATE 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 shutdown (alarm) condition. To determine what type of reset action is required, you will need to understand how the different entrapment conditions affect the gate operator. 4.2.1 Soft Shutdown This occurs in various situations where the inherent or secondary entrapment protection devices have been activated.
4.2.3 Hard Shutdown A hard shutdown condition occurs when the inherent entrapment protection system has sensed two consecutive obstructions before the gate reaches the full open or full closed position. • Example: The gate is closing and the inherent entrapment protection system senses an obstruction and causes the gate to reverse direction. As the gate begins to run in the open direction, a second obstruction is sensed prior to the gate reaching the full open position.
4.3 Manual / Emergency Gate Operation This operator is equipped with a manual release system that will allow the gate to be pushed open in the event of a power outage or equipment failure. There are two manual release systems that are available on this gate operator. The standard type release is the FAIL-SAFE system (required by many city codes), while an optional release is the FAIL-SECURE system.
4.3.3 Fail-Secure Manual Operation The FAIL-SECURE option locks the gate when primary (AC) power is removed and requires a keyed release to place the gate in manual operation. The FAIL-SECURE option is typically used in CLASS III and CLASS IV applications. • Be sure that primary (AC) and backup (DC) power is removed or shut-off prior to placing the gate operator in manual operation. • Insert the manual release key into the keyed release on the side of the gate operator, and turn it clockwise 1/4 turn.

SECTION 5 – 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. 5.1 Maintenance When servicing the gate operator, always check any secondary (external) reversing devices (loops, photo eyes, etc.) for proper operation.
5.2 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.
Gate opens a short distance, then stops and reverses. Gate opens but will not close. Gate closes but will not open. Gate starts to close, then reverses to open. Gate closes and then re-opens. Entrapment alarm is sounding. Operator will not run. Entrapment alarm sounds a short beep every 5 seconds. 9100-065-D-5-07 • 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.
Motor / Belt Access To gain access to the inside of the gate operator, loosen the two bolts on each side of the electrical panel at the bottom. The entire panel can then swing up for easy access into the operator. Loosen Loosen CAUTION!! Be sure power is OFF before accessing the inside of the operator. Be sure that the electrical panel is secured in the up position - it will not stay in this position by itself.
