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.

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. After adjusting the force or the limit of travel, retest the gate operator. Failure to adjust and retest the gate operator properly can increase the risk of injury or death.

5. Use the emergency release only when the gate is not moving.

6. KEEP GATES PROPERLY MAINTAINED. Read the owner's manual. Have a qualified service person make repairs to gate hardware.

7. The entrance is for vehicles only. Pedestrians must use separate entrance.

8. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!

Instructions regarding 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. All openings of a horizontal slide gate are guarded or screened from the bottom of the gate to a minimum of 4 feet (1.22 m) above the ground to prevent a 2 ¼ inch (57.2 mm) diameter sphere from passing through the openings anywhere in the gate, and in that portion of the adjacent fence that the gate covers in the open position.

3. All exposed pinch points are eliminated or guarded.

4. Guarding is supplied for exposed rollers.

• The operator is intended for installation only on gates used for vehicles. Pedestrians must be supplied with a separate

access opening. The pedestrian access opening shall be designed to promote pedestrian usage. Locate the gate such that persons will not come in contact with the vehicular gate during the entire path of travel of the vehicular gate.

• The gate must be installed in a location so that enough clearance is supplied between the gate and adjacent structures

when opening and closing to reduce the risk of entrapment. Swinging gates should not open into public access areas.

• The gate must be properly installed and work freely in both directions prior to the installation of the gate operator. Do not

over-tighten the operator clutch, pressure relief valve or reduce reversing sensitivity to compensate for a damaged gate.

• For gate operators utilizing Type D protection:

1. The gate operator controls must be placed so that the user has full view of the gate area when the gate is moving.

2. A warning placard shall be placed adjacent to the controls.

3. An automatic closing device (such as a timer, loop sensor, or similar device) shall not be employed.

4. No other activation device shall be connected.

• Controls intended for user activation must be located at least ten feet (10’) away from any moving part of the gate and

where the user is prevented from reaching over, under, around or through the gate to operate the controls. Outdoor or easily accessible controls should have a security feature to prevent unauthorized use.

• The Stop and/or Reset button must be located in the line-of-sight of the gate. Activation of the reset control shall not

cause the operator to start.

• A minimum of two (2) WARNING SIGNS shall be installed, one on each side of the gate where easily visible.

• For gate operators utilizing a non-contact sensor:

1. See the instructions on the placement of non-contact sensors for each type of application.

2. Care shall be exercised to reduce the risk of nuisance tripping, such as when a vehicle trips the sensor while the gate is still moving in the opening direction.

3. One or more non-contact sensors shall be located where the risk of entrapment or obstruction exist, such as the perimeter reachable by a moving gate or barrier.

5 5

6500-065-E-2-08

• For gate operators utilizing contact sensors:

1. One or more contact sensors shall be located where the risk of entrapment or obstruction exist, such as at the leading edge, trailing edge, and post mounted both inside and outside of a vehicular horizontal slide gate.

2. One or more contact sensors shall be located at the bottom edge of a vehicular vertical lift gate.

3. One or more contact sensors shall be located at the pinch point of a vehicular vertical pivot gate.

4. A hardwired contact sensor shall be located and its wiring arranged so that the communication between the sensor and the gate operator is not subjected to mechanical damage.

5. A wireless contact sensor such as one that transmits radio frequency (RF) signals to the gate operator for entrapment protection functions shall be located where the transmission of the signals are not obstructed or impeded by building structures, natural landscaping or similar obstructions. A wireless contact sensor shall function under the intended end-use conditions.

6. One or more contact sensors shall be located at the bottom edge of a vertical barrier (arm).

Important Notices

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. These hazards may include:

• Pinch points

• Entrapment areas

• Reach through hazards

• Absence of entrapment protection devices

• Improperly located access controls

• Absence of vehicle protection devices

• Absence of controlled pedestrian access In addition to these potential hazards, automated vehicular gate systems must be installed in accordance with the UL-325

Safety Standard and the ASTM F2200 Construction Standard. Most lay persons are unaware of, or are not familiar with, these standards. If an automated vehicular gate system is not properly designed, installed, used and maintained, serious injuries or death can result. Be sure that the installer has instructed you on the proper operation of the gate and gate operator system. Be sure that the installer has trained you about the basic functions of the required reversing systems associated with your gate operating system and how to test them. These include reversing loops, inherent reversing system, electric edges, photoelectric cells, or other external devices.

• This Owner’s Manual is your property. Keep it in a safe place for future reference.

• Be sure that all access control devices are installed a minimum distance of 10 feet away from the gate and gate

operator, or in such a way that a person cannot touch the gate or gate operator while using the device. If access control devices are installed in violation of these restrictions, immediately remove the gate operator from service and contact your installing dealer.

• Loops and loop detectors, photo-cells or other equivalent devices must be installed to prevent the gate from

closing on vehicular traffic.

• The speed limit for vehicular traffic through the gate area is 5 MPH. Install speed bumps and signs to keep

vehicular traffic from speeding through the gate area. Failure to adhere to posted speed limits can result in damage to the gate, gate operator, and to the vehicle.

• Be sure that all persons who will use the gate system are familiar with the proper use of the gate and gate

operator and are familiar with the possible hazards associated with the gate system.

• Be sure that warning signs are permanently installed on both sides of the gate in an area where they are fully

visible to traffic.

• It is your responsibility to periodically check all entrapment protection devices. If any of these devices are

observed to function improperly, remove the operator from service immediately and contact your installing or servicing dealer.

• Follow the recommended maintenance schedule.

• Do not allow children to play in the area of the operator or to play with any gate-operating device.

• To remove the gate operator from service, operate the gate to the full open position and then shut off power to

the operator at the service panel.

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!!

2.2 High Voltage Wire Runs

6500-065-E-2-08

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 a 110 VAC power source with a 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.

3.2 DIP-Switch Settings

6500-065-E-2-08

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.

SW 1 (Top 8 Switches)

Switch Function Setting Description

7 and 8

Switch 1 Sets direction of the primary operator so that the operator cycles open upon initial power up and open command. If the

operator begins to cycle close upon initial power up and open command, turn power off and change the setting on this switch.

Switch 2 Sets direction of the secondary operator so that the operator cycles open upon initial power up and open command. If

the operator begins to cycle close upon initial power up and open command, turn power off and change the setting on this switch.

Switch 3 Determines if the output of the loop detector (DoorKing loop detectors only) plugged into the EXIT port will be sent

directly to the microprocessor to open the gate, or if the output is directed to Terminal 4 where it can then be connected to other input terminals.

Switch 4 Turns the auto close timer on or off. Maximum time that the close timer can be set for is approximately 23 seconds. Switch 5 This switch sets the input at Terminal 6 to act as a normal reverse input or to act as a shadow input. A shadow input

will only hold the gate operator in the open position once it is in the full open position. A shadow input will not reverse the direction of the gate operator once it begins its close cycle.

Switch 6 Sets up the circuit board for single or primary / secondary (dual) gate operation. Switches 7-8 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.

3.4 Inherent Entrapment Sensing Adjustment

This vehicular gate operator is equipped with an inherent adjustable reversing sensor (Type A) that is used as the primary entrapment sensing system. The gate will reverse 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 the reverse system to function correctly, THE HUB MUST NOT SLIP when the gate encounters an obstruction. The gate must be properly installed and work freely in both directions. A good set of roller bearing hinges is essential for proper swing gate operation.

The ideal adjustment will allow the operator to move the gate through its entire travel cycle without reversing, but will reverse upon contact with an obstruction with no more than 40 Lbs of force. This force can be measured with a gate scale, DoorKing P/N 2600-225.

6500-065-E-2-08

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. In a soft shutdown condition, the operator will not respond to any input that was present when the entrapment protection device sensed an obstruction. If the gate stops at the open position, the operator will not respond to the automatic close timer.

• Example 1 - A time clock keys the gate open in the morning and an entrapment protection device senses

an obstruction prior to the gate reaching the full open position. If the entrapment is sensed by the inherent system, the gate will reverse and run back to the closed position. The time clock input is still present, but the gate will not re-open.

NOTE: In some systems, the time clock input comes from the telephone entry system relay. This same relay may also provide open commands for a card reader, MicroPLUS transmitters and the visitor telephone entry. If so, these devices will also be disabled in a soft shutdown condition.

• Example 2 - If the gate is closing and an entrapment protection device is activated, the gate will either stop

or reverse and run back to the open position, depending upon if the secondary or inherent device was activated. The automatic close timer will not close the gate.

• Example 3 - Vehicle arrives at open loop and gate runs towards the open position. The inherent entrapment

protection is activated. The gate reverses and runs back to the closed position. If the vehicle is still present at the open loop a soft shutdown condition does not occur. The loop input provides an immediate reset of the operator and the gate will again run to the open position.

Resetting a Soft Shutdown

In some conditions, a soft shutdown will reset as soon as the entrapment condition clears. For example, if a non-contact sensor (photo cell) is sensing an obstruction, the operator will stop the gate and assume a soft shutdown condition. When the photocell clears, the operator will return to normal operation.

When the operator is in a soft shutdown, activation of any "intended input" will reset the operator. An "intended input" includes any command, any standard safety input and any loop input. Activating any of these inputs will reset the gate. At that point the gate will return to normal operation. If the gate is open, the automatic close timer will then time out and close the gate.

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. Once the second obstruction has been sensed, the operator will stop, the audio alarm will be activated and all standard inputs are shut down (including open commands, safety commands, loop inputs, etc.).

NOTE: The audio alarm will remain activated for a maximum of five minutes, or until the operator receives a reset input. The hard shutdown condition will remain in affect even if the audio alarm shuts off after five minutes.

• After 5 minutes, the audio alarm will “chirp” every 5 seconds. This indicates that the operator is in a hard

shutdown condition and the reset switch must be activated to reset the operator and silence the alarm.

6500-065-E-2-08

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. Inspect the gate for any

obstructions along its path that could have activated the inherent entrapment sensing system. Inspect the gate and gate hardware.

NOTE: DoorKing operators have a built-in alarm reset push button mounted on the operator above the power ON-OFF toggle switch. Activating this button will return the gate operator to normal operation, but will not activate the gate operator.

Once the gate has been reset, an open or close command is needed to start the gate operator. Most activating commands will cause the gate operator to cycle to the open position. This includes activation of a key switch or open command and activation of an open loop. Activation of a close command will run the gate to the closed position.

4.3 Manual 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.

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.

Emergency Vehicle Access Conditions

The automatic vehicular gate system must be designed to allow access to emergency vehicles under different operating conditions.

1. During normal powered operation, emergency vehicles access the gate by use of the emergency vehicle access device installed on your gate system. The type of device that is used in your community is dependent on your city codes. These devices may include (but are not limited to) Fire Department lock boxes, Click-2Enter radio receivers, strobe light sensors, siren sensors, etc.

2. In the event of a power failure, the emergency vehicle access device may not be functional because the gate operator is un-powered. If the gate operator is equipped with a convenience open system, this system will automatically open the gate when primary (AC) power is removed. NOTE: DC convenience open systems are optional and your gate system may or may not be equipped with one. Check with your installer to determine if your gate system is equipped with a convenience open system.

3. In the event of a primary (AC) power failure and a back-up system (DC) power failure (low charged or dead batteries for example), the system must have a release system to allow the gate to be manually operated.

• Be sure that power is removed or shut-off prior to placing the gate operator in manual operation.

Manual Release

Remove release tool and place where shown.

Release hub. Gate can now be manually operated.

Unlock the cover and rotate sliding door.

CAUTION

DO NOT REMOVE HUB!

6500-065-E-2-08

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. 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 Model 2000, is required.

• The convenience open system cannot provide continuous gate operation during a power outage.

• This system cycles the gate to the open position one time only.

• 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.

5.1 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 gate should a power outage occur. This system is not designed to maintain continuous gate operation; rather it provides a convenient method to open a gate during adverse conditions. If continuous gate and access control system operation is required, refer to the DoorKing Model 2000 Inverter / Backup Power System.

Automatic Open

Switch 1 ON, the system will automatically open the gate approximately 2-3 seconds after a loss of AC power. Automatic mode is always used for gates in general access applications such as gated communities, apartment complexes, etc.

DIP-Switches

Automatic Restart

Once AC power is restored, the system’s control board can be set to automatically “re-key” the gate operator (switch 3 ON) to establish normal operation, or can be

2340

set to require an input (switch 3 OFF) before the gate operator resumes normal operation.

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. 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 in the gate.

When servicing this gate operator, always turn power OFF!!

If gearbox requires oil, use only SYNTHETIC SHC-629 Oil. Do not completely fill gearbox with oil. Gearbox should be half full only. Do not exceed this level.

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 17 through 20, the motor capacitor and the motor.

1. Check the input indicator LEDs. They should only come ON when a keying device (card reader, push button, etc.) is

activated. If any of the input LEDs are ON continuously, this will cause the gate operator to hold open. Disconnect the keying devices one at a time until the LED goes OFF.

2. Check any external secondary entrapment protection devices. Any short or malfunction in these devices can cause the gate operator to stop or to hold open.

A malfunction in a loop or loop detector can cause the gate operator to hold open, or to not detect a vehicle when it is present over the loop. The LEDs next to the loop detector ports on the operator circuit board will light only when the loop has detected an object above it. If the LEDs stays on after the object has gone, then the loop detector has malfunctioned. 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 on trouble shooting loops and loop detectors, refer to your loop detector instruction sheet and to the DoorKing Loop and Loop Detector Information Manual.

4. Check to be sure 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 gate, momentarily jumper across terminals 1 and 2 (or 1 and 5) on the gate operator circuit board. If the gate operator starts, this indicates that a problem exist with the keying device and is not with the gate operator.

5. Check the high voltage supply. A voltage drop on the supply line (usually caused by using too small supply voltage wires) will cause the operator to malfunction. Refer to the wire size chart in section 2.1.

Symptom Possible Solution(s)

Operator will not run. Power LED is OFF.

Operator will not run. Power LED is ON.

Secondary operator motor will not run.

• Check that power to the operator is turned ON.

• Transformer may be overheated. Turn power off and allow board to cool for several minutes then

retest. Check for low 115 VAC power and low voltage shorts.

• Check for 115 VAC at terminals 19 and 20. If voltage measures OK, check the terminal strip or

replace the circuit board.

• Push test button or momentarily jumper terminal 1 to terminal 2 (or 1 to 5). If the input LED does

not come ON, check the terminal strip or replace the circuit board. If LED does come ON, proceed to next steps.

• Remove circuit board. With power ON, momentarily jumper terminal 19 to terminal 18 with a

14 AWG insulated jumper wire. CAUTION – HIGH VOLTAGE. The motor should run.

• With power ON, momentarily jumper terminal 19 to terminal 17 with a 14 AWG insulated

jumper wire. CAUTION – HIGH VOLTAGE. The motor should run in the opposite direction of the above step.

• If the motor runs in both steps above, replace the control board. If the motor does not run,

or runs in only one direction, problem can be a bad motor, motor capacitor, wire connections from the control board to the motor or a bad control board.

• Check that SW-1, switch 6 is ON.

• Remove circuit board. Momentarily jumper terminal 19 to the primary/secondary connection

terminal block terminal 1, then to terminal 2 with a 14 AWG insulated jumper wire. CAUTION – HIGH VOLTAGE. The secondary motor should run one way, then the other way as power is applied to each terminal.

• If the secondary motor runs in both directions, replace the control board. If secondary motor does

not run, or runs in only one direction, problem can be in the wiring from the primary to secondary operator, bad secondary motor or motor capacitor.

6500-065-E-2-08

Symptom Possible Solution(s)

Gate will not reverse when an obstruction is encountered.

Gate opens a short distance, then stops and reverses.

Gate opens but will not close.

Gate closes but will not open.

• Check ERD setting.

• Make sure operator hub does not slip when gate encounters an obstruction.

• Check the reversing sensitivity.

• Disconnect the gate from the gate operator and check that the gate swings freely without any

binding.

• Replace the circuit board.

• Check the input LEDs. Any ON will hold the gate open and indicates a problem with a keying device.

• Check the secondary safety devices. Any activated will hold the gate open and indicates a problem

with the safety device.

• Check the loop detectors. Any activated can hold the gate open and indicates a problem with the

loop detector or ground loop.

• Operator may be in a “soft shutdown.” Activate any keying device to determine if operator returns

to normal operation.

• If automatic close is desired, be sure SW-1, switch 4 is ON.

• Check motor as described on previous page.

• Operator may be in a “soft shutdown.” Check input LEDs. If any are ON, momentarily disconnect,

then re-connect the wire going to the respective terminal. Operator should open.

• Check to be sure that the operator is running in the proper direction. Turn power OFF, and then back

ON. Activate a keying device. Operator should run in the open direction. If operator runs in the close direction, turn power OFF and change direction switch SW-1, switches 1 and/or 2. Go to above section if operator now opens but will not close.

• Be sure that the respective LED on the control board lights when the keying device connected to the

respective terminal is activated. If LED does not light, momentarily place a jumper wire from terminal 1 to the input terminal being checked. If LED lights and gate opens, problem is with the keying device. If LED does not light, replace control board.

• Check motor as described on previous page.

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.

DC open system will not open gate upon AC power outage.

• Check that the reverse sensitivity is properly adjusted.

• Disconnect the gate from the operator and check that the gate operates freely without any binding.

• Check the loop detector LEDs and input LEDs. Any that flash ON will cause the gate to reverse.

• If a shadow loop is used, check for proper wiring. A mis-wired shadow loop detector will cause the

gate to reverse.

• Replace the circuit board.

• Check for any input or loop detector LEDs that are ON.

Check that the operator is running in the proper direction (see “gate closes but will not open” above).

•

• Operator is in a “hard shutdown” condition. Reset switch must be activated to return operator to

normal operation.

• Check if the DC system is set to open gate automatically or requires an input to open.

• Check that the DC system power switch is in the ON position.

6.3 Built-in Diagnostics

This gate operator is designed with built-in diagnostics that will alert you to potential or existing problems that the microprocessor has detected. Specific fault conditions are checked and the operator will signal that a fault exist through the built-in alarm.

Constant tone is heard when power is applied: This indicates that the limit switch wire harness is not connected to the circuit board. In this condition, the operator will not run and the tone will continue until the fault is corrected. Check to be sure that the limit switch plug is properly inserted into P2.

Constant tone is heard: This indicates that the operator is in a hard shutdown condition. The tone will continue to sound for five minutes, and then will beep once every five seconds. The operator-reset button must be pressed or power must be removed and then reapplied to return the operator to normal operation.

Short tone is heard every five seconds: This indicates that the operator has been in a hard shutdown condition in excess of five minutes. This will continue until the operator-reset button is pressed or until power is removed from the operator.

Operator runs for 1 second and stops, two short tones are heard: This indicates that there may be a fault with the current sensor circuit. Check that the black current sensor wire has been passed through the hole in the current sensor donut with the correct number of loops (1/2 HP motor - 2 loops, 1 HP motor - 1 loop).
