1.1 Operator Positioning and Conduit Requirements
SECTION 1 - INSTALLATION OF OPERATOR
•The conduit requirements are for a typical barrier gate operator installation. 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 3/4-inch conduit be used.
•Never run low voltage rated wire insulation in the same conduit as high voltage rated wire insulation.
•Be sure that all conduits are installed in accordance with local codes.
Primary/Secondary Interconnection Cable (Dual Operator Application Only)
Sweeps3/4-Inch Minimum
Prior to beginning the installation of the barrier gate operator, we suggest that you become familiar with the instruc-
tions, illustrations, and wiring guide-lines in this manual. This will help insure that your installation is performed in
an efficient and professional manner.
The proper installation of the vehicular barrier gate operator is an extremely important and integral part of the
overall access control system. Check all local building ordinances and building codes prior to installing this
operator. Be sure your installation is in compliance with local codes.

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!!

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 calcula-
tions 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.
230 and 460 Volt 3-phase
input, use only two legs
of the incoming 3-phase
power.
Never run low voltage rated wire insulation in the same conduit as high voltage rated wire insulation.

•Route incoming high voltage
power in it’s OWN conduit.
•Be sure wiring is installed in
accordance with local codes.
Be sure to color code all wiring.
•It is recommended that a surge suppressor
be installed on the high voltage power lines
to help protect the operator and circuit
board from surges and power fluctuations.
•Dual operators (Primary/Secondary)
require AC power to each operator.
Keep wire clear of all moving parts.
DO NOT power up and cycle the operator until
the “DIP-Switches” have been set for the 1603
model (See pages 20 and 21).
The operator will not function properly unless the
switches have been correctly set.
“Optional” 3.3 Amp Heater Installation Note: When installing the heater, refer to the “high voltage AC power wire size and
distance requirements” table on the instruction sheet with the heater kit (P/N 1601-092) for AC power wire run 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.

2.3 Main Terminal Description
Function is dependent on the setting of programming SW 1, switches 1 and 4.
With switch 1 OFF and switch 4 ON, activation and then deactivation of
this input will rotate the arm to the down position, provided that the
deactivation of the input happens while the arm is in the full up
position. This input will override the auto timer if it is turned ON. If the
arm is in the down position, traveling in the down cycle, or traveling in
the up cycle, activation and deactivation of this input has no effect on
the arm.
With switches 1 and 4 are ON, activation and then deactivation of this
input will rotate the arm to the down position after it reaches the full
up position regardless of when the deactivation of the input occurred.
When switch 4 is OFF, this input is identical to the reverse input,
terminal 9.
Function is dependent on the setting
of programming SW 1, switch 8.
When switch 8 is ON, the
function of this input is
identical to terminal 6.
When switch 8 is OFF,
this terminal becomes
the logic output of the up
loop detector.
Function is dependent on the setting
of programming SW 1, switch 5.
When switch 5 is OFF,
activation of the down
loop will activate the
relay.
When switch 5 is ON,
activation of the UP loop
will activate the relay.
When the arm is in the down position,
activation of this input has no effect.
When the arm is in the up position,
activation of this input will prevent the arm
from rotating to the down position. If the
arm is in the down cycle, activation of this
input will reverse the arm to the up
position.
This input is used when sequencing the
1601 with a slide or swing gate operator in
PAMS applications. Activation of this input
will rotate the arm to the up position one
time, and activates the enable up input.
This input is used when sequencing the
1601 with a slide or swing gate operator in
PAMS applications. This input is only active
after a MOMENTARY UP input is received.
Activation of this input will rotate the arm
to the up position or reverse an arm in the
down cycle to the up position.

concrete until the spikes
have been tested and
they operate smoothly.
If spikes are not vertical
and horizontal during
operation, some
adjustment will be
required. See 3.3a on
the next page.
Operator must be in the
Down arm position for
the spikes to be UP 90°.
A connector shaft must be
installed between certain
sections with 8 bolts as shown.
Spikes should rotate 90° into
tunnel plate when operator cycles
the arm to the UP position.

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.
Loop detector wiring shown is for DoorKing model 9409 Dual Channel and 9410 Single Channel plug-In loop detectors only.
If using other loop detectors refer to the separate Loop Information Manual for installation instructions, loops/preformed
loops and wiring diagrams. All inputs to the main terminal are NORMALLY OPEN.

If the arming loop is not used, then a single channel loop
detector can be used (9410) in the down loop port. Connect the
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
time out and lower the arm without the down loop being activated.
