To Operator To Gate Figure 14 4. Slide the connector assembly (Figure 14) onto the crank arm so that the flange is away from the gate. 5. The connector assembly must be positioned on X CRANK ARM the crank arm at the correct distance from the operator shaft to allow the gate to open a full 90º. 34 24.04 To determine this measurement, refer back to 30 21.21 SECTION 1.2. Measure the distance from POINT 26 18.38 A1 to POINT A2 then divide this measurement by 2. The result is the crank arm assembly length.
1.4.3 TEST YOUR INSTALLATION Gate Closed When the gate is fully closed, the drive and connecting arms should be in a straight line as shown in Figure 16. • Manually open the gate. The connecting arm should rotate beneath the drive arm and output shaft. When the gate is fully open, the drive arm should be directly over the connecting arm as shown in Figure 17. • If the gate does not open a full 90°, this means that the drive arm is less than half the A1-A2 measurement.
1.6 SETUP FOR GATES OPENING OTHER THAN 90° X FENCE GATE GATE BRACKET A1 Figure 19 1.6.1 DETERMINE THE LOCATION OF THE OPERATOR 1. 2. Determine where the gate-bracket will be attached to the gate. If the gate will be opened greater than 90°, the gate bracket should be mounted no farther than 30 inches from the center of the hinge point. Once the gate bracket has been attached to the gate, close the gate fully and mark a point on the ground directly under the center of the mounting bracket.
FENCE A1 A1 - LIN A2 E A2 Figure 21 4. 5. Determine where the operator output shaft will be placed. With a string, connect points A1 and A2 and extend this line beyond A2. The operator shaft must be on the A1-A2 line, at least 12 inches away from the gate (Figure 21). NOTE: Point C can be located anywhere on the A1-A2 line. However, the farther away from the gate point C is made, the longer the operator connecting arm will be.
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 a licensed electrical contractor perform this work.
2.1 HIGH VOLTAGE CONNECTIONS Use Table 4 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.

Do not power any other device from this terminal. If other control devices are used, they must be powered with their own power supply.
2.2.2 SECONDARY ENTRAPMENT PROTECTION DEVICE WIRING This swing gate operator uses an inherent entrapment sensing system (Type A) as the secondary entrapment protection device. Additional external entrapment protection may be added to insure a safe vehicular gate operating system. Additional inputs are available for non-contact sensors. Secondary entrapment protection may be provided by a combination of non-contact (Type B1), contact (Type B2) and inherent adjustable clutch (Type C) devices. See Section 5.
2.3 LOOP DETECTOR WIRING • 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. Use a separate power supply to power external detectors. Be sure that power is turned off prior to making any connections to the terminal strip.
2.4 MAGNETIC LOCK WIRING 2.4.1 DIRECT POWER • • Connect the magnetic lock as shown in Figure 29. 16 24-volt magnetic lock is connected directly to terminals 16 and 19 on the 4502 circuit board. Place a jumper wire from terminal 17 to terminal 18. 24-volt magnetic lock power is provided at terminals 18 and 19. • Set relay contact shorting pin to NC (normally closed) operation (see 3.1).
2.5 GATE TRACKER™ CONNECTIONS This gate operator is equipped with outputs from the circuit board that will report operator status to a companion DoorKing Access Control System (Model 1803PC, 1815, 1817 or 1818) when equipped with an optional Tracker expansion board. This report includes items such as gate operator cycle count, any shorted inputs, loop detector problems, any attempts to force the gate open, if the gate has struck anything during the open or close cycle, power interruptions, etc.
2.6 AUXILIARY DEVICES 2.6.1 ALARM RESET SWITCH The gate operator is equipped with a reset switch that will silence the entrapment alarm and return the operator to normal operation after a hard shutdown occurs. An auxiliary reset button may be added provided that the following condition is met. • The alarm-reset button must be located in the line of sight of the gate. • Connect the normally open alarm-reset switch to auxiliary terminals 2 and 3.

ALARM RESET INPUT Input to reset the operator after an entrapment alarm. COMMON Common for alarm output and alarm reset input.
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.
3.2.1 SW 1 (TOP SWITCH) DESCRIPTION AND FUNCTION Switches 1-2: These work in conjunction with each other and determine when the relay on the board will be activated. This relay can be used as a switch for various functions such as illuminating a warning light when the gate is moving, or turning on a green light when the gate is full open. This relay is not available for these uses if it is being used for the shadow loop function.
3.3 AUTOMATIC LIMIT ADJUSTMENT This gate operator does not use any limit switches or run timers to adjust the gate open and close positions. The gate open and close positions are determined by the physical stops on the crank arm. The gate operator will automatically measure the travel distance required and set its "limits" from this measurement during this initial automatic sequence.
3.4 ENTRAPMENT SENSING SYSTEM This vehicular gate operator is equipped with an inherent adjustable clutch (Type C) that is used as the primary entrapment sensing system. The clutch will slip upon sensing an obstruction in either the opening or closing gate cycle and will cause the gate operator 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.

SECTION 4 – OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS WARNING - To reduce the risk of injury or death: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 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.
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 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. NOTE: 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. 4.3.
rA rm nn Co m Ar k an O pe ra ! to r LL Cr PU Re le as If an attempt is made to force the gate open under normal operating conditions (AC power present), a tamper protect circuit will detect the forced entry and will start the motor to return the gate to the closed position. If Gate Tracker reporting is in use, a forced entry attempt transaction will be sent to the DoorKing access control system at this time. To • ec to rA ss em bl y To G at e Co nn ec to 1.

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 areas: terminals 1 through 6, the 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. Alarm sounds for 5 minutes and then beeps once every 5 seconds. Operator will not run. Battery backup system will not open gate upon AC power outage. • Check that the clutch is adjusted properly and is not slipping.
