contact when operating the gate controls.
Keep adults, children and objects away from
the gate and HAZARD ZONES while in motion.
Speed limit through gate area is 5 MPH.
Install speed bumps and warning signs where
visible in the area of the gate. Failure to do so
may result in damage to the gate, gate-operator
and vehicle.
Gate operator is intended for installation on
gates used ONLY FOR VEHICULAR TRAFFIC.
Pedestrians must be provided with a separate
access and must stay out of the HAZARD
ZONE.
When removing the gate operator set to
the full open position and shut off power at the
service panel.
Vehicular gates should be constructed and
installed in accordance with ASTM F2200-
02, Standard Specifi cation for Automated
Vehicular Gate Construction. Contact ASTM at
610.832.9585 or www.astm.org.

ENTRAPMENT
ZONE
general information / entrapment protection 1
This vehicular gate operator
is equipped with an inherent
adjustable current sensing system
(Type A). This system will sense
an obstruction in both the opening and closing
cycles causing the gate to reverse direction
should an obstruction be encountered. If the
system detects a second obstruction before
reaching the full open or close limit after the
initial reversal, an alarm will activate and the
operator will need to be reset before resuming
normal operation (see page. 22-23).
Test the gate operator monthly, the gate
MUST reverse or stop on contact when an object
activates the inherent sensing system. 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. If any of these functions
operate improperly, remove the operator from
service immediately and contact your service
dealer.
Loops and loop detectors, photo-cells and
other devices must be installed with this gate
operator to prevent the gate from closing on
vehicular traffi c.
Suffi cient clearance should be available
between the gate and adjacent structures
when opening and closing to reduce the risk
of entrapment. Gates should not swing into
pedestrian access zones.
If entrapment zone is greater than 4” inches,
secondary entrapment protection is required.
If entrapment zone is less than 16” inches,
secondary entrapment protection is required.
If clearance between the gate and adjacent
structure is less than 16” inches, entrapment
protection is required, if clearance is more
than 16” inches, entrapment protection is not
required.

cable as shown.
2Route and connect the EXIT
LOOP DETECTOR cable as
shown.
1Disconnect power to the gate
operator before installing the
loop detector wiring.
To protect the gated area from accidentally closing on vehicles a series of
Loop Detectors must be installed. Loops are laid underneath, cut into asphalt
or concrete driveways or buried beneath gravel and earth driveways. A Loop
Detection system will sense a vehicle like a metal detector and send a signal to the gate
operator preventing the gate from automatically closing on a vehicle when exiting.
 EXIT LOOP
An exiting vehicle will activate the Exit Loop and automatically open the gate when
exiting the property without having to use a transmitter or keypad. The Exit Loop can
be placed 20-100 feet before the gate so that the gate is open or partially open as you
drive up to it.
 REVERSE LOOP
Will stop or reverse the close cycle of an automatic gate preventing the gate from
closing while a vehicle is exiting or stopped in the gate area.
 Refer to the separate Loop and Loop Detectors Information Manual (Loop Info G-3-02)
when installing loops.

2Route and connect the
SHADOW LOOP DETECTOR
cable as shown.
1Disconnect power to the gate
operator before installing the
loop detector wiring.
A Shadow Loop is placed inside the swing gate area to prevent the gate from
closing on a vehicle that is in the path of the gate after the open time has
expired or the Exit Loop is too far back from the Reverse Loop. The Shadow
Loop is only active when the gate is in the full open position and will not allow the swing
gate to close. Once the close cycle begins the Shadow loop will not reverse the gate.
For correct SHADOW LOOP operation, jumper wire must be placed from terminal
9 to terminal 10. SW1 switch 5 must be OFF, SW2 switch 1 must be ON and SW2
switch 2 must be OFF.
 Output of Shadow Loop Detector may be connected directly to terminals 8 and 9
(dotted line - no jumper required between 9 and 10) if SW 1, switch 5 is ON. However,
with this switch ON, terminal 8 becomes a shadow input (active only when the gate is
FULL OPEN) and all reversing devices connected to terminal 8 will operate as shadow
devices. If this is not desirable, wire the shadow loop detector as instructed above.
 Refer to the separate Loop and Loop Detectors Information Manual (Loop Info G-3-02)
when installing loops.

The two DIP-switches on the circuit board are used to program the actuators to
operate in various modes and to turn on or off various operating features. Check
ALL switch settings before applying power to the control panel (refer to switch
settings).
 Whenever any programming or switch setting on the circuit board is changed, batteries
must be disconnected and main power must be shut-off. Once completed turn main

SW1 Switch 1: Sets direction of the Primary actuator so that it cycles open upon initial power up and open command. If the actuator begins
to cycle close upon initial power up and open command, turn power off and change the setting on this switch.
SW1 Switch 2: Sets direction of the Secondary actuator so that it cycles open upon initial power up and open command. If the actuator begins
to cycle close upon initial power up and open command, turn power off and change the setting on this switch.
SW1 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.
SW1 Switch 4: Turns the auto close timer on or off. Maximum time that the close timer can be set for is 23 seconds.
SW1 Switch 5: Sets the input to terminal 8 to act as a standard reverse input (OFF) or to act as a shadow input (ON). If shadow setting is
used, input to terminal 8 will only hold the gate in the full open position. Once the gate begins to close, the input will not reverse
the gate.
SW1 Switch 6: Turns the overlap feature on or off. When turned ON, the Secondary actuator begins its cycle 1-2 seconds prior to the Primary
actuator, allowing the Primary gate to reach its full closed position 1-2 seconds before the Secondary gate. This feature is
useful when a magnetic lock is used to secure the gates.
SW1 Switch 7: Sets up the circuit board for single or dual (Primary / Secondary) gate operation.
SW1 Switch 8: Spare switch. Leave in the OFF position.
SW2 Switches 1-2: 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.
SW2 Switch 3: Mag-Lock has a 1 second delay to disengage when in the ON position. DK Gate Deadbolt has a 4-5 second delay to retract.
SW2 Switch 4: Spare switch. Leave in the OFF position.
