TRACKER DATA Supplies gate operator data to Tracker expansion board (P/N 2351-010). Refer to the Tracker Installation and Wiring Manual for detailed information. 5.
2.6 Control Wiring B • Diagram at right is for illustration purposes. The actual placement of the secondary protection devices is dependent on the specific installation requirements. • Secondary entrapment protection devices must be installed with this gate operator. This protection may be provided by non-contact or contact sensors, or a combination of both. • Secondary device wiring shows inputs to the circuit board only. Photo-cells must be supplied with power.
2.7 Loop Detector Wiring • If other detectors are used, use a separate power supply to power these detectors. Loops and loop detectors MUST be installed with this gate operator to help prevent the gate from accidentally closing on vehicular traffic. • Loop layout shown is for a typical swing gate application with two-way traffic, or one-way exit only traffic. • Loop detector wiring is shown for DoorKing plug-in loop detectors only.
2.8 Primary / Secondary (Dual) Gate Connection Connect the Primary / Secondary interconnection wiring as shown. Wire colors are based on DoorKing interconnection cable (P/N 2600-75x). Power is supplied to the secondary operator by the interconnection cable.
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 4502 Circuit Board Adjustments EXIT Power LED indicates that low voltage power is applied to the circuit board.
3.2 DIP-Switch SW 1 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.
3.3 DIP-Switch SW 2 Settings SW 2 (Bottom 8 Switches) Switch Function OFF 1 Primary Operator Opening Direction Opening direction of arm using OFF setting. Gate opens counter-clockwise. ON Opening direction of arm using ON setting. Gate opens clockwise. Secondary Operator Opening Direction OFF Opening direction of arm using OFF setting. Gate opens counter-clockwise. ON Opening direction of arm using ON setting. Gate opens clockwise.
3.4 Automatic Limit Adjustment The FIRST time the operator is cycled, it will automatically set the open and close limits. The arms MUST be in the correct closed configuration (See 1.7 on page 14). DO NOT cycle the operator until the arms are in the correct configuration. The gate open and close positions are determined by the physical stop “flange” on the elbow assembly (See 1.6 on page 13). Activate an open device (or momentarily jump across terminals 11 and 20).
SECTION 4 - 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.
4.2 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 When the operator is in a hard shutdown condition (audio alarm activated or audio alarm “chirps” every 5 seconds), the only way to reset the gate operator and return it to normal operation is to activate the alarm reset input (auxiliary terminals 2 and 3). An alarm-reset switch can be mounted external of the gate operator provided that it is installed in the line of sight of the gate and gate operator. • Before resetting a hard shutdown, determine why the shutdown occurred.
Fail-Safe Manual Operation The FAIL-SAFE manual operation system is the most reliable and safest method for placing an automated gate in manual operation and is the preferred method of emergency gate operation under worse case conditions by many Fire Chiefs and Building Inspectors and is typically used in CLASS I and CLASS II applications. This system requires no keys, cranks or tools for manual gate operation and is completely automatic.
SECTION 5 - OPTIONAL CONVENIENCE OPEN ADJUSTMENTS The optional convenience open system installed in your vehicular gate operator is designed as a convenience enhancement only. It is not designed or intended to provide continuous gate operation during a power outage. Its sole purpose is to provide a method to open the vehicular gate to allow unimpeded traffic flow when the gate and access control system is without power.
5.2 DC System Description Timer needs to Do Not Adjust be adjusted. Do Not Adjust Charging LED 12 V 3 Amp/Hr Red/White – + Batteries Gate will automatically or manually OPEN and stay open during an AC power failure. DIP-Switch 3 setting will determine how operator will return to normal operation once AC power has been restored.
SECTION 6 - 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. 6.1 Maintenance When servicing the gate operator, always check any secondary (external) reversing devices (loops, photo eyes, etc.) for proper operation.
6.2 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 areas: terminals 1 through 6, the motor capacitor and the motor. 1. Check the input indicator LEDs.
Symptom Possible Solution(s) Gate opens a short distance, then stops and reverses. • • • • Check that the clutch is adjusted properly and is not slipping. Disconnect the gate from the gate operator and check that the gate swings freely without any binding. Check that SW-1, switch 7 is set correctly. Check the PULSE LED on the circuit board. PULSE 1 should blink as the primary (or single) operator is running. PULSE 2 should blink as the secondary operator is running.
