Instructions regarding intended installation:
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; [email protected]; 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!
•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 6 feet
(1.83 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 six feet (6’) 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.
Exception: Emergency access controls only accessible by authorized personnel (e.g. fire, police, EMS) may be placed at
any location in the line-of-sight of the gate.
•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.
ASTM F2200 Standard for Gate Construction

6300-065-G-2-16 3
•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).
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 associ-
ated 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 6 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.

•The conduit requirements 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° elbows as this will make wire pulls very difficult
and can cause damage to wire insulation. DoorKing recommends using 3/4-inch conduit.
• Installation of External Entrapment Protection Devices is REQUIRED (photo sensor and/or reversing edge).
•Be sure that all conduits are installed in accordance with local codes.
•Never run low voltage rated wire insulation in the same conduit as high voltage rated wire insulation.

The post mount installation will allow
the operator to be mounted low enough
to attach the gate bracket to the lower
gate rail if desired.
Adjust the locknut on the crank power
arm so that it is snug against the
washer, but will still allow the crank arm
to rotate with little force. This is the
operator’s manual release option when
the crank arm is unlocked.
Assemble arms as shown with the gate in the closed
position. The elbow assembly’s flange MUST be on the
opposite side of the gate in the closed position. This is
the physical stop used to set the open and close limits.

DO NOT power up the operator to set the open and closed gate positions. The first time the operator is powered up and
cycled, it will automatically set the open and close limits. To do this, the arms MUST already be in the correct configuration.
Once you are sure that the gate opens and closes correctly,
trim off excess length from arms and secure the arms with
the 6 allen screws. Install safety cover on elbow assembly.

This DoorKing Swing Gate Operator is shipped with two warning
signs. The purpose of the warning sign is to alert uninformed
persons, and to remind persons familiar with the gate system, that
a possible hazard exists so that appropriate action can be taken to
avoid the hazard or to reduce exposure to the hazard. See page 7 for
suggested mounting positions of signs.
• Permanently install the supplied warning signs in locations so
that the signs are visible by persons on both sides of the gate.
• Use appropriate hardware such as wood or sheet metal screws
(not supplied) to install the warning signs.

2.2 High Voltage Terminal Connections
DANGER
HIGH VOLTAGE!
2.1 High Voltage Wire Runs
SECTION 2 - AC POWER TO OPERATOR(S)
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. The wire run
calculations are based on a 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.
“Optional” Heater Installation Note: When installing a heater, refer to the “high voltage AC power wire size
and distance limitations” table on the instruction sheet with the heater kit for AC power wire run limitations.
This table illustrates the high voltage AC power wire size and distance limitations for a single operator.
Reduce the wire distance in half for a primary/secondary dual gate operator application

Section 1 MUST be completed before power can be turned on.
Every time the operator is powered up, the First open command will
automatically set the open and close limits of the gate. (See page 21).
• Route incoming high voltage power through underground conduit and
into the operator as shown in Section 1.4 or 1.5 on page 10 or 11.
• 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.
• Secondary operator in a dual operator application gets power through
the 8-wire interconnection cable that links the 2 operators together.
See Section 2.3 “Bi-Parting Gates Wiring - Dual Gate Operators” on the
next page.
“Optional” High Voltage Kit Installation Note: When installing a high voltage kit for 208/230/460/575 VAC input power,
refer to the “high voltage AC power wire size and distance limitations” table on the instruction sheet with the
high voltage kit (P/N 2600-266) for AC power wire run limitations.
