• Do not install the operator in such a way that the arm moves within 2 feet of a rigid object or 10 feet from high voltage power wires
with arm in the raised position.
• Speed limit through barrier area is 5 MPH. Install speed bumps and warning signs where visible in the area of the barrier gate, failure to
do so may result in injury, damage to operator and vehicle.
• Users should be familiar with proper use of operator, these include; hardware operation, reversing functions and testing, reversing loops,
inherent reversing system, electric edges, photoelectric cells related external devices and possible hazards.
• Keep adults, children and objects away from operator and HAZARD ZONES. Pedestrians must be provided with a separate access.
• All electrical connections should be made in accordance with local electrical codes.
• Security features should be installed to avoid unauthorized use.
• Controls must be installed away from the operator to avoid any contact when operating the controls. If the installed
hardware is in violation of these restrictions remove the operator from service immediately and contact your service dealer.
• When manually operating the gate operator arm, the user MUST make sure that the gate area is clear BEFORE operating the controls.
• When removing the operator lift the arm to the full open position and shut off power at the service panel.
• Operators and components should be properly installed and maintained following the recommended service schedule, test the operator
monthly. Keep all debris away from operator housing vents and off of arm. Contact your service dealer for any maintenance or repairs.

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.
Since building codes vary from city to city, we highly recommend that you check with your local building department prior
to installing any permanent wiring to be sure that all wiring to the operator (both high and low voltage) complies with local
code requirements.
THIS GATE OPERATOR MUST BE PROPERLY GROUNDED!!
2.1 High Voltage Wire Runs
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. Wire run calculations are based on the NEC recommended maximum 3% voltage drop on the power line, plus an additional 10% reduction in
distance to allow for other losses in the system.
This table illustrates the high voltage wire size and distance requirements.

Function is dependent on the setting of programming SW 1, switch 6.
When switch 6 is OFF, this input will cause the
operator to rotate the arm to the up position. If the arm
is in the down cycle, this input will reverse the arm to
the up position. If this terminal has a constant input,
the arm will remain in the up position regardless of any
down input or timer command to rotate down.
When switch 6 is ON, this input will cause the operator
to rotate the arm to the up position when it is down,
and will cause the operator to rotate the arm to the
down position when it is up. If the auto timer is turned
ON (Not recommended if switch 6 is ON), this input
will override the timer and rotate the arm to the down
position. If the arm is in the down cycle, this input will
reverse the arm to the up position.

down loop to loop 1 on this detector. Connect the access control
device directly to main terminal 6 and 14.
Arming Loop Note: The arming loop only allows the access control
device to function when a vehicle is on the loop, otherwise it will not
function. This prevents pedestrians from gaining access through the
vehicular gate.
Timer Note: The timer can be used with a down loop. When timer is ON
with a down loop, it will start countdown when the arm has fully raised.
Activation of the down loop will cancel timer countdown. Useful when
an access control device has been activated but vehicle does not move
forward to activate the down loop. The arm will remain UP. Timer will

SECTION 4 - ARM INSTALLATION
Arm installation varies depending on the operator model and individual installation requirements. All operators are equipped
with 2 hub connections on opposite sides of the operator.
The 1601 operates with a single 14 ft. arm (either straight or folding arm). The 1601 can not operate with the 20 ft. to 27 ft.
3-piece arm assemblies.
The 1602 operator is designed for the 3-piece 20 ft. to 27 ft. arm assemblies only.
4.1 Mounting Hub(s)
Mount hub(s) as shown with operator in the DOWN position.
A single hub should be mounted on the opposite side of
oncoming traffic.

5.6 Manual Operation of the Arm
When a power failure occurs in an operator WITHOUT the convenience open feature with the arm (3-piece arm for the 1602) in
the down position and the pathway needs to be open, the arm MUST be unbolted from the hub with 4 bolts and removed to clear the pathway. A manual release kit is offered from DoorKing to phisically crank the arm up if desired (See below).
Operators WITH the convenience open feature can be set to automatically open the arm(s) during a power failure.

DoorKing offers a kit designed to be installed on the 1601 or 1602 barrier gate operators WITHOUT the convenience open
feature. It provides a crank tool to manually move the arm up or down. DO NOT install on convenience open models. For
further information about this kit, refer to the instruction sheet provided with the kit (P/N 1601-270) or go to DoorKing’s
technical web site at: www.dkaccess.com.

1601-065-G-6-12
SECTION 6 - OPTIONAL CONVENIENCE OPEN SYSTEM
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. If
your access control system requires 100% power backup and continuous operation when primary (AC) power has failed, a
power inverter / backup system, such as DoorKing’s Models 1000 or 2000, is required.
• The convenience open system cannot provide continuous gate operation during a power outage.
•
This system cycles the arm to the open position one time only after AC power failure.
• The convenience open system requires testing on a monthly basis to insure the batteries are fully charged and that the
system is operational.
• The convenience open system uses two 12-volt, 3.0 amp-hour gel-cell batteries. These batteries should be replaced
every two years on average, or sooner if required.
• Batteries are affected by temperature. Cold temperatures will reduce the effectiveness of the batteries. High temperatures
will result in a shortened battery life.
• Batteries are not covered under warranty.
6.1 Operating Mode
This convenience open system consist of a control board (2340-010), motor and power supply (batteries) providing a
completely redundant drive system to open the barrier arm should a power outage occur. This system is not designed to
maintain continuous barrier operation; rather it provides a convenient method to open the arm once during adverse conditions.
If continuous barrier and access control system operation is required, refer to the DoorKing Models 1000 or 2000 Inverter /
Backup Power System.
Automatic Open after loss of AC Power
Turn switch 1 ON and the system will automatically
2340
open the arm approximately 3 seconds after loss of
AC power. Automatic mode is always used for
barrier arms in general access applications such as
gated communities, apartment complexes, etc.
Switch 1 OFF is not used.
1ON2 3 4 5 6 7 8
DIP-Switches
Restart Options once AC Power is restored
Once AC power is restored, the system’s control
board can be set to “automatically re-key” the
operator (switch 3 ON) to establish normal
operation, or can be set to require a “manual input” (switch 3 OFF) before the operator resumes
normal operation.

SECTION 8 - 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.
8.1 Maintenance
When servicing the gate operator, always check any secondary (external) reversing devices (loops, photo eyes, etc.) for proper
operation. If external reversing devices cannot be made operable, do not place this operator in service until the malfunction can
be identified and corrected.
Always check the inherent reversing system when performing any maintenance. If the inherent reversing system cannot be
made operable, remove this operator from service until the cause of the malfunction is identified and corrected. Keeping
this operator in service when the inherent reversing system is malfunctioning creates a hazard for persons which can result
in serious injury or death should they become entrapped.
When servicing this gate operator, always turn power OFF!! If equipped with batteries, make sure battery power switch is OFF.
If gearbox requires oil, use only Mobil SHC-629 Synthetic Gear Oil. Do not completely fill gearbox with oil. Gearbox is full
when oil completely covers inspection window.

If operator is equipped with optional convenience open system,
check the batteries for any leakage or loose connections.
Batteries should be replaced every two years.
If operator is equipped with optional DC open system, check to
be sure the system opens the arm upon loss of AC power.
Operator should resume normal operation when AC power has
been restored.
Check emergency vehicle access device for proper operation.
Check oil level and fill if necessary. Do not overfill.
Check internal linkages for wear. Inspect bushing for wear.
Check all external ground loops for proper operation.
Check set screw for tightness.
Check electric reversing edges and photo-cells for proper
operation.

8.2 Diagnostics Check
Have the following diagnostic tools available: VOM meter with minimum voltage memory or min-max range to check voltage
and continuity. Meg-ohm meter capable of checking up to 500 megohms of resistance to properly check ground loop integrity.
A malfunction can be isolated to one of the following:
• Gate Operator
• Loop System
• Keying Devices
Disconnect all external inputs to the circuit board terminal.
1. Use caution when checking high voltage areas: terminals 1 through 6, the motor capacitor and the motor.
2. Check the input indicator LED’s. They should only come ON when a keying device (card reader, push button, etc.) is
activated. If any of the input LED’s are ON continuously, this will cause the gate operator to hold the arm up. Disconnect the
keying devices one at a time until the LED goes OFF (see troubleshooting guide).
3. If the operator stops or holds open, check external secondary entrapment protection devices for any shorts or malfunction.
4. A malfunction in a loop or loop detector can cause the gate operator to hold the arm up, or not detect a vehicle when it is
present over the loop. Pull the loop detector circuit boards from the loop ports on the operator circuit board. If the malfunction
persists, the problem is not with the loop system. For more information refer to the loop detector instruction sheet and the
DoorKing Loop and Loop Detector Information Manual.
5. Check that there are no shorted or open control wires from the keying devices to the gate operator. If a keying device fails
to open the arm, momentarily jumper across terminals 6 and 14 on the control board terminal. If the gate operator starts, this
indicates that a problem exist with the keying device and not with the gate operator.
6. Check the supply voltage and batteries. A voltage drop on the supply line (usually caused by using wires that are too small)
will cause the operator to malfunction. Batteries should be fully charged for proper operation, replace batteries every two years
on average.
8.3 Troubleshooting
Symptom Possible Solution(s)
• Check that power to the operator is turned ON.
Operator will not run.
Power LED is OFF.
• Check for 117 VAC with a voltmeter at control board terminals 1 and 2. If voltage measures 0,
check power supply to operator or check terminal strip. If voltage measures OK, replace control
board.

8.3 Troubleshooting Continued
SymptomPossible Solution(s)
• Momentarily jumper terminal 6 to terminal 14. If input LED does not come ON, check terminal strip

or replace control board. If LED does come on, go to the next step.
• Momentarily jumper terminal 2 to terminal 3 (Caution – High Voltage). The motor should run.
• Momentarily jumper terminal 2 to terminal 4 (Caution – High Voltage). The motor should run in
opposite direction of above.
• If motor does not run in either or both steps above, bad motor, motor capacitor or wiring to motor.
• Check LEDs on terminals 6, 7 and 9. Any of these ON will hold the arm in the UP position. This
indicates a shorted input.
• Check the LEDs on the loop detectors. Any ON will hold the arm in the UP position. Possible loop or
loop detector problem.
• If auto timer is not used (SW 1, switch 7 off ), check to be sure SW 1, switch 6 is in the ON
position. This will cause terminal 6 to rotate the arm down when it is activated.
• Check to be sure SW 1, switch 4 is ON. This will cause terminal 8 activation, then deactivation to
rotate arm down.
Down input / down
loop will not rotate
arm to down
position.
Loop detector LED
is on continuously.
Loop detector LED
never activates.
Battery back-up
system will not
raise arm upon
power outage.
• Check to be sure, switch 4 is in the ON position.
• Down input must be activated, and then deactivated to cause arm to rotate down.
• Activate the reset switch on the loop detector.
• Decrease loop detector sensitivity.
• Check loop wire for resistance to ground with meg-ohm meter. Should be 100 meg-ohms or higher.
If less than 50 meg-ohms, replace loop wire.
• Be sure loop lead-in wire is twisted at least 6 turns per foot.
• Be sure all loop connections are soldered.
• Replace loop detector.
• Increase loop detector sensitivity.
•
Check continuity of loop wire. Should be 0 ohms. If continuity check indicates anything other than
0 ohms, check all connections. Replace loop wire.
•
Move loop detector board to the other loop detector port on the control board, and then check loop
operation. If loop detector still fails, replace loop board.
•
If loop detector operates OK in the other loop port, replace control board.
• Check that the back-up system toggle switch is in the ON position.
• Check to be sure that the 2340-010 battery back-up control board switch settings are set as
described in SECTION 6.
• Check the batteries for proper voltage, replace if necessary.
• Replace the 2340-010 Back-up control board.
