general information/safety information Important Notice Vehicular gate operator products provide convenience and security. However, gate operators must use high levels of force to move gates and most people underestimate the power of these systems and do not realize the potential hazards associated with an incorrectly designed or installed system.
general information/safety information Gate Construction Vehicular gates should be constructed and installed in accordance with ASTM F2200; Standard Specification for Automated Vehicular Gate Construction. For a copy of this standard, contact ASTM directly at 610-832-9585; service@astm.org; or www.astm.org. Instructions for Intended Installation Install the gate operator only if: 1. The operator is appropriate for the construction of the gate and the usage class of the gate. 2.
general information/glossary GATE – A moving barrier such as a swinging, sliding, raising, lowering, or the like, barrier, that is a stand-alone passage barrier or is that portion of a wall or fence system that controls entrance and/or egress by persons or vehicles and completes the perimeter of a defined area. RESIDENTIAL VEHICULAR OPERATOR-CLASS – A vehicular gate operator (or system) intended for use in a home of one-to four single family dwelling, or garage or parking area associated therewith.
general information/specifications operator The 1150 overhead gate operator is designed for high traffic underground parking applications serving gated communities, apartment complexes, commercial buildings and industrial sites. This operator is not designed for residential applications and should never be used to operate overhead sectional garage doors. class: II, III, IV horsepower: 1/2 HP continuos duty 115 VAC, 60 Hz, 5.
hardware installation/rail 1 Attach and secure the rail to the operator assembly using the appropriate hardware. 2 Cut the wire tie and route the chain around the sprocket and attach the chain to the other end using the double master link. MASTER LINK Chain and sprocket must be centered between the rail assembly. CHAIN ADJUST 3 Locate the chain adjustment bolts on the rail assembly and make the necessary adjustments. Do not over-tighten the chain.
hardware installation/operator 1 Install the Gate Bracket to the top center rail of the gate by bolting or welding. 2 Loosen the Header Bracket and Rails, allowing the Header Bracket to rotate freely. 3 Center the Header Bracket with the Gate Bracket, a minimum clearance of 2.5 inches is required from the top of the gate bracket to the bottom of the header bracket. 4 Secure the rail assembly/header bracket to the header by bolting or welding.
hardware installation/alternate mounting ALTERNATE HEADER BRACKET INSTALLATION Mount the header bracket directly to the ceiling of the underground parking area. Isolate the header bracket from the ceiling using rubber shock mounts. ALTERNATE OPERATOR BRACKET INSTALLATION DOORKING does not provide the ceiling extension bracket, it must be fabricated according to building requiremnets.
hardware installation/gate arm 1 Insert the manual release key and unlock carriage assembly from the drive chain, pull the release ring and rotate 1/4 clockwise, allowing the carriage to slide freely. 2 Attach the arm assembly to the gate bracket and carriage assembly as shown. 3 Manually raise and lower the gate, be sure the gate is operating smoothly and is not binding anywhere. Any interference must be corrected now.
hardware installation/manual release This operator is equipped with a manual release system that will allow the gate to be opened in the event of a power outage or equipment failure. Never attempt to manually push open any gate with an operator attached to it until you have verified that power to the operator has been shut-off. 1 Turn off the primary (AC) power or turn off using the shut-down switch before placing the gate operator in manual operation.
hardware installation/power switch The operator ON or OFF power switch is located on the back of the operator.
electrical installation/main terminal description 1. LOW VOLTAGE COMMON 2. 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. When gate is closing, input will reverse gate. 3. NOT USED 4.

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.

electrical installation/entrapment protection This operator is equipped with an inherent (Type A) entrapment sensing system. The operator will sense an obstruction while opening or closing causing the gate to stop (open cycle) or reverse (close cycle) direction. Secondary entrapment prevention devices must be installed to insure a safe operating environment and reduce the risk of personnel entrapment or injury.
electrical installation/entrapment protection CONTACT SENSOR 1 Disconnect power to the operator before installing sensors. 2 Install the contact sensors at the bottom edge of the gate. Additional contact sensors may be added for additional protection where entrapment zones exist. 3 Route the edge connector wire into the junction box (see illustration). Avoid any interference with gate hardware. 4 Connect the sensors to the main terminal strip, sensing edge to circuit board is NORMALLY OPEN.
electrical installation/loop detector If non-contact sensors are not used, loops and loop detectors must be installed to prevent the gate from accidentally closing on vehicles that may be in the path of the gate. 1 See illustration when installing Plug-In loop detector 9406-010. If other loop detectors are used, refer to the installation instructions included with detector. 2 Layout is for a typical overhead gate application with two-way traffic or one-way exit only.
electrical installation/gate tracker The operator is equipped with a companion DoorKing Access Control System (Model 1833, 1835, 1837 or 1838). This report includes operator cycle count, shorted inputs, loop detector problems, any forced entry attempts, if the gate has struck anything during the open or close cycle, power interruptions, etc. 1 Connect to terminals 1, 5, 10, 11 and 14 on the main terminal strip.
electrical installation/auxiliary stop This circuit creates an auxiliary stop input that will stop a moving gate when activated, or will prevent the gate operator from starting if the switch is activated. Note that this stop input is normally open and that a switch closure will activate the stop function. Because this is a normally open circuit, the stop switch is not intended and should not be used as a safety interlock device. 1 Connect the stop switch to terminals 1 and 9.
settings/control board Settings should be made after installation and wiring is complete. When programming switches on the circuit board, power must be shut-off, and then turned back on for the new setting to take effect. 1 DIP-switches settings, see page 24. 2 Limit settings, see page 25. 3 Inherent reverse settings, see page 26. 4 Auto close timer (when turned on) can be set from 1 second (full counter clockwise) to approximately 23 seconds (full clockwise).
settings/DIP-switches The DIP-switches on the circuit board are used to set operating modes and to turn ON or OFF various operating features. SW1 is the top switch, SW2 is the BOTTOM. When a switch setting is changed, power to the operator must be turned OFF, and turned back on for the setting to take affect. Check and review ALL switch settings prior to applying power to the operator.
settings/limits 1 Turn power off. 2 Push the lock plate tab up to adjust the limit nuts. 3 After adjusting the limit-nuts, re-engage the lock plate in the slots on the limit-nuts to prevent them from slipping. 4 Turn power on and activate the gate operator. 5 Re-adjust the limit-nuts as necessary for full-open and fullclose gate travel. #,/3% /0%. 3 2 /0%. ,)-)4 37)4#( #/..%#4/2 ,)-)4 /. 0!24)!, 0/7%2 2%6%23).' $%6)#% #/..
settings/inherent reverse 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. 1 Activate the gate operator by shorting terminal 1 and 5 with a 1-foot piece of 18 AWG wire.
