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 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.
ASTM F2200 Standard for Gate Construction

6050-065-V-7-11 5
•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 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.

•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.
•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.

1.7 Manually Adjust the Open and Closed Gate Positions
1.8 Installation of Warning Signs
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 9 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.

Arms will be aligned on the SAME imaginary
straight line when open or closed. Slide elbow
assembly back and fourth, manually opening
and closing gate until arms function as shown.
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. The arms are now in the correct
configuration. Arms must be on the
imaginary straight line.

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!!
Section 1 MUST be completed before power can be turned on.
•Route incoming high voltage power through underground conduit and into
the operator as shown in Section 1.4 or 1.5 on page 12 or 13.
•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” 3.3 Amp Heater Installation Note: When installing the heater(s), refer to the “high voltage AC power wire size and
distance requirements” table on the instruction sheet with the heater kit (P/N 1601-154) for AC power wire run requirements.
Never run low voltage rated wire insulation in the same conduit as high voltage rated wire insulation.
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).
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.

Connect the Primary/Secondary operators together with DoorKing’s interconnection cable as shown (Different lengths sold separately
P/N 2600-75x). High voltage power and low voltage communications are supplied to the secondary operator by DoorKing’s UL approved cable
that is run in a single conduit. Two conduits (High voltage and low voltage) will need to
be provided to the secondary operator when NOT using DoorKing’s UL listed, wet
environment interconnection cable.

3.1 4502 Circuit Board Description and Adjustments
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.
How LEDs Work: Power LED indicates that low voltage power is applied to the circuit board. Input LEDs should be OFF
and will only illuminate when an input is activated. Pulse 1 and 2 LEDs will blink as the operator(s) are running. They can be
either ON or OFF when the operator(s) are stopped. One pulse LED for each operator used (Primary/Secondary). Tracker LEDs
will flash as operator
data is sent to the
access controller
(DoorKing models
1833, 1835, 1837 or
1838 only).
Auto-close timer
(when turned ON)
