IMPORTANT NOTICES Vehicular gate systems provide convenience to their users and limit vehicular traffic onto your property. These systems can produce high levels of force; therefore it is important that you are aware of possible hazards associated with your gate operating system. These hazards may include pinch points, entrapment, absence of controlled pedestrian access or traffic backup. Be sure that the installer has instructed you on the proper operation of the gate and gate operator system.
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.
RESTRICTIONS AND WARNINGS Install The Gate Operator Only If: • The operator is appropriate for the usage Class of the application. • All exposed pinch points are eliminated or guarded. • This operator is intended for installation only on swing gates used to control vehicular traffic. Pedestrians must be provided with a separate access opening.
ENTRAPMENT PROTECTION This vehicular gate operator is equipped with an inherent adjustable current sensing system (Type A). This system will sense an obstruction in both the opening and closing gate cycles, and will cause the gate to reverse direction should an obstruction be encountered. If the system detects a second obstruction before reaching the full open or close limit after the initial reversal, an alarm will activate and the operator will require a reset before resuming normal operation.

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. When gate is closing, input will reverse gate.
2.6 Secondary Entrapment Protection Device Wiring This swing gate operator uses an inherent entrapment sensing system (Type A) and has provisions for connection of secondary entrapment protection devices. External entrapment protection devices are required to insure a safe gate operating system. Secondary entrapment protection may be provided by a combination of non-contact (Type B1) sensors. • Disconnect power to the gate operator before installing the non-contact sensors.
2.7 Secondary Entrapment Device Terminal Description 1. OPEN PHOTO-BEAM This input is only active when the gate is in the opening cycle. If the open photo-beam is activated during the opening cycle, the gate will stop. The gate will remain stopped until the photo-beam input is cleared, at which time the gate will resume the open cycle. 2. CLOSE PHOTO-BEAM This input is only active when the gate is in the closing cycle. If the close photo-beam input is activated during the closing cycle, the gate will stop.
2.8 Loop Detector and Loop Wiring • Loops and loop detectors are required to provide protection to vehicular traffic through the gate system. • Loop detector wiring is shown for DoorKing model 9405 and 9406 Plug-In loop detectors only. If other loop detectors are used, refer to the installation instructions supplied with those detectors for wiring requirements. • If other loop detectors are used, all inputs to the terminal strip are NORMALLY OPEN.
2.9 Battery and Solar Panel Wiring Batteries are required for the actuators to operate properly. Two 12-Volt 3.4 amp hour batteries are provided with the actuator control panel. Batteries should be replaced every two years on average. When replacing batteries, be sure to connect them in series with each other: POSITIVE (+) to NEGATIVE (-). Optional solar panels provide power from the sun to help keep the batteries charged. Observe polarity when connecting the solar panels to the circuit board.

SECTION 3 – ADJUSTMENTS 3.1 Control Board 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, batteries and solar panels must be disconnected and main power must be shutoff. After the switch settings are changed, turn main power on and then re-connect the batteries and solar panels.
3.2 Switch Settings The two DIP-switches located on the circuit board are used to program the actuators to operate in various modes and to turn on or off various operating features. Whenever a switch setting is changed, batteries and solar panels must be disconnected and power must be turned OFF. After the switch settings are changed, turn power back on and then re-connect the batteries and solar panels for the new setting to take affect.
3.3 Switch Descriptions and Functions SW1 Switch 1: Sets direction of the master actuator so that it cycles open upon initial power up and open command. If the actuator begins to cycle close upon initial power up and open command, turn power off and change the setting on this switch. SW1 Switch 2: Sets direction of the slave actuator so that it cycles open upon initial power up and open command.
3.4 Limit Switch Adjustment The limit switches on this actuator are adjustable to allow you to control the travel of the gate and to precisely set the full open and full closed position of the gate. This feature is especially useful in applications where the gate opens only partially, such as on a curved driveway. Figure 20 shows the maximum amount of adjustment for each of the limit assemblies. 1.
3.5 Reverse Sensitivity Adjustment This vehicular gate operator is equipped with an inherent adjustable reverse sensor (Type A) that is used as the primary entrapment sensing system. Upon sensing an obstruction in either the opening or closing gate cycle, the gate operator will reverse direction. For this system to function correctly, the gate must be properly installed and work freely in both directions. A good set of roller bearing hinges is essential for proper swing gate operation.

SECTION 4 – OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 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. 4.1 Soft Shutdown This occurs in various situations where the inherent or secondary entrapment protection devices have been activated.
4.2 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 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 Release The gate can be operated manually in the event of a power failure or malfunction by removing the cover and inserting the release key. NOTE: Never attempt to manually operate any gate with an operator attached to it until you have verified that power to the operator has been shut-off. To Release the Actuator - Refer to Figure 21. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Open the key cover. Insert the key. Unlock the cover. Open the cover and remove the allen wrench.

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 Schedule When servicing the gate operator, always check any secondary (external) reversing devices (loops, photo eyes, etc.) for proper operation.
5.2 Trouble Shooting 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. One of the first steps in developing good trouble shooting habits is to disconnect all external inputs to the circuit board. 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. Alarm sounds for 5 minutes and then beeps once every 5 seconds. Operator will not run. • Disconnect the gate from the actuator and check that the gate swings freely without any binding. • Check the reverse sensitivity. • Check the secondary safety devices. • Replace the circuit board.
