We maintain careful control of all aspects in the design and manufacturing of our systems. All engineering and design work is performed at our main facility in California. We also manufacture our electronic control circuit boards, and manufacture all of our Vehicular Gate Operators and Telephone Entry Systems at this facility.
DOORKING SYSTEMS access control solutions GATE OPERATOR SAFETY AND ENTRAPMENT PROTECTION Compromising on gate and gate operator safety can have tragic results. By Rick Sedivy (excerpt from article dated Dec, 1996) A few years ago, in Illinois, a six year old child was pinned by a slide gate at an apartment complex and was suffocated. According to the police, the accidentoccurred when a resident activated the gate to open with a remore control device.
DOORKING SYSTEMS access control solutions GENERAL GATE OPERATOR SYSTEM GUIDELINES DEFINING THE PROBLEM Should a problem occur with the gate system, before turning off power to the operator, Inspect the system - Gate Operator failures are often intermittent and difficult for the service dealer to trouble shoot. By inspecting the gate operator and looking at the indicator lights on the circuit board, you can help reduce the amount of time needed to repair the gate system.
DOORKING SYSTEMS access control solutions GATE INSTALLATION The physical installation and wiring of the operator is a critical factor in reliable gate operation. When servicing a gate system, double check some of the installation factors to see if they may be the source of the problem. • Location of the Operator - SLIDE GATE OPERATORS should be located within a couple of inches of the gate, with the concrete pad beneath the entire operator. Do not hang the back edge of the operator over the pad.

DOORKING SLIDE GATE OPERATORS, MODEL 9100 & 9150 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.
DOORKING SLIDE GATE OPERATORS, MODEL 9100 & 9150 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.
DOORKING SLIDE GATE OPERATORS, MODEL 9100 & 9150 RESTRICTIONS AND WARNINGS Install The Gate Operator Only If: The operator is appropriate for the usage Class of the application and the gate is within the weight and length limitations specified for the operator. • All openings of a horizontal slide gate are guarded or screened from the bottom of the gate to a minimum of 4 feet (1.2 m) above the ground to prevent a 2 ¼ inch (57.
DOORKING SLIDE GATE OPERATORS, MODEL 9100 & 9150 MAINTENANCE 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. When servicing the gate operator, always check any secondary (external) reversing devices (loops, photo eyes, etc.) for proper operation.
TROUBLE SHOOTING - DOORKING SLIDE GATE OPERATORS, MODEL 9100 & 9150 Symptom Items to check Operator will not run 1. Be sure AC power switch is on. 2. Check if Power LED on circuit board is on, (indicates power to control board.) Operator will not run Power LED is ON 1. Activate Card Reader, Transmitter or Phone Entry. Look at circuit board inside Gate Operator and see if LED’s on the “Keyswitch” or “Full Open” terminals light up when device is activated.
TROUBLE SHOOTING - DOORKING SLIDE GATE OPERATORS, MODEL 9100 & 9150 CHAIN ADJUSTMENT 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.

TROUBLE SHOOTING - DOORKING SLIDE GATE OPERATORS, MODEL 9100 & 9150 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.
TROUBLE SHOOTING - DOORKING SLIDE GATE OPERATORS, MODEL 9100 & 9150 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.

LOOP DETECTION SYSTEMS Loop Layouts and Operation: Exit Loop - Opens gate when vehicle is present. Typically utilized for “Free Exit” applications. Loop Detectors THREE LANE LAYOUT Reverse Loop (optional Stop Loop) - Will hold gate open when vehicle is present. After vehicle departs, gate will time out and run closed. During Closing Cycle, a Vehicle activating this loop will Reverse and re-open the gate.

TROUBLE SHOOTING - DOORKING BARRIER ARM OPERATORS 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.
TROUBLE SHOOTING - DOORKING BARRIER ARM OPERATORS 3.4 REVERSE SENSITIVITY ADJUSTMENT The barrier gate operator is equipped with an Electronic Reversing Device (ERD) which will cause the barrier arm to reverse direction of travel should an object be encountered during the down cycle. The amount of force required for the arm to reverse direction is dependent on the setting of the reverse sensitivity potentiometer.
TROUBLE SHOOTING - DOORKING BARRIER ARM OPERATORS MAINTENANCE MONTHLY SCHEDULE INTERVAL 3 Arm Check for cracks or weathering. Repair or replace as necessary. Belt Check for alignment, tightness and wear. ERD Check the electronic reversing device for proper operation. Adjust sensitivity if necessary. Fire Dept. Check emergency vehicle access device(s) for proper operation. Gearbox Check oil level. Linkages Check internal linkages for wear. Inspect bushing for wear.
