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.

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 reve rse on con tact ( contac t sens ors must
be installed) with a rigid object or stop or reverse when an object activates the noncontact 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!
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 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.
Page 8 9210-065-F-11-07
Page 9
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.

1.6 Chain Installation
1. Secure the chain brackets to each end of the gate so that the brackets will be level with
the chain where it exits the operator.
Brackets should be attached to the inside of
the frame so that the chain bolts, when
attached, do not protrude beyond the frame
of the gate.
2. Route the chain through the gate operator.
3. Attach the chain to the chain bolts using the
master links supplied, and then attach the
chain bolts to the chain brackets using the
hardware supplied. Make any adjustments to
the chain length at this time.
4. Adjust the chain bolts to tighten the chain.
The chain should sag no more than one (1)
inch per 10 feet of travel. Do not over tighten the chain. IMPORTANT!! Be sure that the
chain is parallel to the gate. Installing the chain in any other manner will cause
excessive noise, chain idler wear and chain stretching.

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 such work be performed by a licensed electrical
contractor.
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!!

OPERATOR
The conduit requirements shown are for a typical slide gate operator installation (the secondary
operator is shown for those applications where a secondary operator may be used). The conduit
requirements for your application may vary from this depending on your specific needs.
Use only sweeps for conduit bends. Do not use 90° connectors as this will make wire pulls very
difficult and can cause damage to wire insulation.
We suggest that minimum ¾-inch conduit be used.
Be sure that all conduits are installed in accordance with local codes.
9210-065-F-11-07 Page 25
Page 26
2.1 High Voltage Connections
Use the table below 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. Wire run calculations are based on a maximum 3% voltage drop on
the power line, plus an additional 10% reduction in distance to allow for other losses in the system.
Route incoming high voltage power through conduit and into the operator up the right side of the
control box.
Be sure wiring is installed in accordance with local codes. Be sure to color code all wiring.
It is recommended that a surge suppresser be installed on the high voltage power lines to help
protect the operator and circuit board from surges and power fluctuations.

2.6.3 Reversing Device Connector
External entrapment prevention devices are connected here.
1. OPEN PHOTO-BEAM
This input is only active when the gate is in the opening cycle. An open photo-beam input
during the opening cycle will cause the gate to stop. The gate will remain stopped until
the photo-beam input is cleared, at which time the gate will resume the open cycle.
2. CLOSE PHOTO-BEAM
This input is only active when the gate is in the closing cycle. A close photo-beam input
during the closing cycle will cause the gate to stop. The gate will remain stopped until the
photo-beam input is cleared, at which time the gate will resume the close cycle.
3. OPEN EDGE
This input is only active when the gate is in the opening cycle. An open edge input during
the opening cycle will cause the gate to stop and then reverse.
If the gate reaches the full closed position, the gate will remain closed, ignore any
maintained inputs and enter a soft shutdown condition. NOTE: If the gate was initially
activated by a time clock with a contact closure across the gate operator open input, this
input will be ignored until another input (open loop, reverse loop. etc.) is received by the
gate operator.
If a close edge sensor is activated prior to the gate reaching the full closed position, the
gate will stop and enter a soft shutdown condition.
4. CLOSE EDGE
This input is only active when the gate is in the closing cycle. A close edge input during
the closing cycle will cause the gate to stop and then reverse.
If the gate reaches the full open position, the timer will automatically close the gate (if it is
turned on). Once the gate starts to close again, if the close edge input is activated a
second time prior to the gate reaching the full closed position, the operator will stop and
reverse and will enter a soft shutdown condition.
If an open edge sensor is activated prior to the gate reaching the full open position, the
gate will stop and enter a soft shutdown condition.

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.
Auto close timer (when turned on) can be set from 1 second (full counter clockwise) to approximately
23 seconds (full clockwise).
Dry contact relay (terminals 11-12) can be set for Normally Open (NO) or Normally Closed (NC)
operation by placing the relay shorting bar on the NO or NC pins respectively.
Power LED indicates that low voltage power is applied to the circuit board.
Input LEDs should be OFF and will only illuminate when the input is activated.
The limit LED will be ON when the respective limit switch is activated.

3.2.1 SW 1 (Right Switch) Description and Function
Switch 1: Set so that the operator cycles open upon initial power up and open command. If the
operator cycles close, turn power off and change the setting on this switch.
Switch 2: Turns the auto close timer on or off. Set from 1 to 23 seconds. Loops and loop
detectors, photoelectric cells, or other like devices must be installed when the auto close
timer is used to prevent the gate from closing on vehicular traffic.
Switc h 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
Switches 4-5: 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. If a
magnetic lock is used with the gate operator, these switches must be set for magnetic lock operation
which limits the relay to activate only when the gate is opening and full open.
Switc h 6: Warn Before Operate, When set to the ON position, the internal alarm in the operator will
sound 2-3 seconds prior to the gate starting.
Switc h 7: Determines if an input to terminal 7 will reverse or stop a closing gate. If this switch is set
to stop the gate (ON), once the input to terminal 7 is cleared, the gate will continue to close. This is
typically used to help prevent tailgating.
Switc h 8: Turning the quick-close feature on will cause the auto close timer to close the gate after 1
second, regardless of the setting of the auto close timer potentiometer. This will also cause an
opening gate to stop and reverse when the reverse (loop) inputs are cleared. This feature, along with
switch 7 above, is useful to prevent tailgating.
3.2.2 SW 2 (Left Switch) Description and Function
Switc h 1: This switch must be in the OFF position for normal operation. The self-test feature checks
various functions of the operator. CAUTION - Do not run self-test with the operator connected to the
gate. The drive chain must be disconnected from the operator to run the self-test.
Switc h 2: Set to the OFF position for normal operation. Set to the ON position if gate OPENS in an
UPHILL direction.
Switc h 3: Set to the OFF position for normal operation. Set to the ON position if gate OPENS in a
DOWNHILL direction.
Switch 4: Spare – leave switch in the OFF position.

3.3 Limit Adjustment
1. Turn power off.
2. Push the lock plate handle down to adjust the Open and Close limit nuts.
3. After adjusting the limit-nuts, be sure that the lock-plate is engaged 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 full-close gate travel.
6. If using the partial open feature (input to terminal 5), adjust the middle limit nut being
sure to align the magnet in the limit nut with the magnetic pick-up.
Partial Open Limit
Be sure the magnet
imbedded in the partial
open (center) limit nut is
aligned with the partial
open magnetic pick-up
Page 36 9210-065-F-11-07
Page 37
3.4 Reverse Adjustment
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. A good set of ball
bearing wheels (or rollers) is essential for proper slide gate operation.
1. Activate the gate operator by momentarily shorting terminal 1 and 5 with a 1-foot piece of
18 AWG wire. Be sure that the limit adjustment has been completed as described in
section 3.3.
2. While the gate is running open, slowly rotate the open reverse sensitivity potentiometer
clockwise until the gate reverses travel, then rotate the potentiometer 1/8 turn counter
clockwise. Note: Rotating the sensitivity adjustment clockwise INCREASES the reverse
sensitivity. Rotating this adjustment counter-clockwise DECREASES the reverse
sensitivity. NOTE: After the gate has reversed, the operator will assume a "soft
shutdown" making it necessary to initiate the cycle again by momentarily shorting across
terminals 1 and 5 as in step 1.
3. While the gate is running closed, slowly rotate the close reverse sensitivity potentiometer
clockwise until the gate reverses travel, then rotate the potentiometer 1/8 turn counter
clockwise. Note: Rotating the sensitivity adjustment clockwise INCREASES the reverse
sensitivity. Rotating this adjustment counter-clockwise DECREASES the reverse
sensitivity. NOTE: After the gate has reversed, the operator will assume a "soft
shutdown" making it necessary to initiate the cycle again by momentarily shorting across
terminals 1 and 5 as in step 1
4. Operate the gate a few times to be sure that it cycles completely.
5. Place an immobile object along the path of the gate so that the gate will strike it while in
the open cycle. The gate must reverse direction after striking the object. If it does not,
increase the reverse sensitivity by turning the potentiometer 1/8 turn clockwise, then
repeat this test. NOTE: After the gate has reversed, the operator will assume a "soft
shutdown" making it necessary to initiate the cycle again by momentarily shorting across
terminals 1 and 5 as in step 1.
6. Place an immobile object along the path of the gate so that the gate will strike it while in
the close cycle. The gate must reverse direction after striking the object. If it does not,
increase the reverse sensitivity by turning the potentiometer 1/8 turn clockwise, then
repeat this test. NOTE: After the gate has reversed, the operator will assume a "soft
shutdown" making it necessary to initiate the cycle again by momentarily shorting across
terminals 1 and 5 as in step 1 to reactivate the automatic close timer.
7. You may have to repeat step 2 several times to find the correct sensitivity adjustment.

This vehicular gate operator uses a current
sensing device to detect any obstructions in the
path of the opening or closing gate. The current
sensor uses a sensing coil with a given number of
turns through it to monitor the current flow into the
operator. The number of turns through the
sensing coil is dependant on the operating voltage
of the operator.

SECTION 4 – OPERATING 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 and power has been
shut-off.
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.
4.1 Power and Reset Switches
Open the power switch cover located on the side of the operator to access the MAIN POWER switch
and the operator RESET switch.
The RESET switch is used to turn off the
entrapment alarm and to reset the operator after
RESET
a hard shutdown has occurred.
The AC POWER toggle switch turns power to
the operator ON (toggle up) or OFF (toggle
down).

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. 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 the 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.
4.2.2 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.
Page 40 9210-065-F-11-07
Page 41
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 full closed position. It can also be
an indication that the gate is too heavy or that the gate hardware (wheels, rollers) is in poor
condition and needs to be corrected. Do not reduce the operator reversing sensitivity in an
attempt to correct for a poorly designed gate or for hardware that is in need of repair.
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.
4.2.4 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. 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 (see 2.6.1).
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.
NOTE: The gate operator will not lose its limit settings when a hard shutdown occurs.

4.3 Manual Gate Operation
This operator is equipped with a manual system that will allow the gate to be cranked open in the
event of a power outage or equipment failure.
NOTE: Never attempt to manually open any gate with an operator attached to it until you have
verified that power to the operator has been shut-off.
1. Unlock the manual release access panel
located on the top of the gate operator and
open it. Opening this access panel
automatically activates an interlock switch
that will prevent the gate operator motor
from starting.
2. Insert the supplied manual hand crank into
the access hole until it engages with the
motor shaft. Turn the crank to open the
gate.
3. After the gate is opened, remove the crank
and lock the access panel closed.

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. 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!!

5.2 Operator 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 (section 4.2.3). 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.

5.3 Trouble Shooting
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 terminals, 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.
3. 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. 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 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. If a three-button control station (open-close-stop) is connected to this gate operator,
check for proper wiring. Only a DoorKing three button control station (P/N 1200-006) can
be used with this gate operator. Others will cause a malfunction.
6. 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.
TROUBLESHOOTING
SYMPTON POSSIBLE SOLUTION(S)
Operator will not
run. Power LED is
OFF.
Operator will not
run. Power LED is
ON.
• 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 120 VAC power and low voltage shorts.
• Check for 120 VAC at terminals 18 and 19. If voltage measures 0, check power. If voltage
measures OK, check the terminal strip or replace the circuit board.
• If a photocell is used as a secondary entrapment prevention device, check to be sure that
the beam is not blocked.
• Momentarily jumper terminal 1 to terminal 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.
• Be sure that the chain is not too tight. A too tight chain may cause the operator to stall.
• Turn power switch OFF and remove the control board.
• Place a jumper wire from terminal 18 terminal 17. CAUTION – HIGH VOLTAGE. Turn the
power switch on. The motor should run. Turn the power switch off and remove the
jumper.
• Place a jumper wire from terminal 18 to terminal 16. CAUTION – HI GH VOLTAGE. Turn
the power switch on. The motor should run in the opposite direction. Turn the power
switch off and remove the jumper.
• If the motor runs in both steps above, replac e 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.

• Disconnect the gate from the gat e operator and check that the gate slides freely without
any binding.
• Re-adjust the open reverse sensitivity.
• 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 2 is ON.
• Check motor as described on previous page.
• Operator may be in a “soft shutdown.” Check input LED on terminal 5. If it is ON,
momentarily disconnect, then re-connect the wire going to the terminal. Operator should
open.
• Check to be sure that the o perato r 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,
switch 1. 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.
• Re-adjust the close reverse sensitivity.
• 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.
• 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 gate and gate hardware for any binding – correct where necessary.
• Gate may be too heavy.
• Oper ator has been in a “hard shutdown” condition in excess of 5 minutes. Reset switch
must be activated to return operator to normal operation.
• The limit switch wire harness is not plugged into the circuit board. Check that the limit
switch connector is properly plugged into P2 on the circuit board.
• There may be a problem with the current sensor on the circuit board. Replace the circuit
board.
