rated. It is intended to provide a more formidable barrier in conjunction
with a standard barrier arm operator system.The 1620 is ideally used to
control passenger vehicles and lightduty trucks.

DoorKing Safety for Lane Barrier
IMPORTANT: A lane barrier gate
operator installed WITHOUT any
external safety sensors CANNOT
sense a person under the raised
arm and can strike them while
the arm is lowering.
This scenario is VERY
DANGEROUS and MUST
NEVER OCCUR!!
When the photo
beam gets interrupted by a
pedestrian, a lowering arm
will reverse and raise.
Photo Sensor
• DKS Lane Barrier System is NOT crash rated. It is intended to provide a formidable barrier to help prevent
passenger vehicles and light-duty trucks from driving through a controlled traffic lane.
• Lane barrier MUST have reverse/LED edge on arm, traffic light and photoelectric cell functioning or remove
lane barrier from service until repairs have been made.
• Make sure all warning signs are on operator and arm. They MUST be easily visible.
•Do not install the operator in such a way that the arms moves within 16 inches of a rigid object or 10 feet
from high voltage power wires with arm in the raised position.
• Speed limit through barrier area is 5 MPH. Install speed bumps, warning signs and hazard stripes where
visible in the area of the lane barrier gate, failure to do so may result in injury, damage to operator and vehicle.
• Users should be familiar with proper use of operator, these include; hardware operation, reversing functions and
testing, reversing loops, inherent reversing system, electric edges, photoelectric cells related external devices and
possible hazards.
• Keep adults, children and objects away from operator and HAZARD ZONES.
• Automotive ONE-WAY traffic only - No bicycles or motorcycles.
Pedestrians MUST be provided with separate access.
• All electrical connections should be made in accordance with local electrical codes.
• Security features should be installed to avoid unauthorized use.
• Controls intended for user activation must be located at least six feet (6') away from any moving part of the
barrier gate and where the user is prevented from reaching over, under or around the lane barrier gate to operate
the controls. 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 lane barrier gate.
• When manually operating the gate operator arms, the user MUST make sure that the gate area is clear BEFORE operating the
controls. Any activity in the traffic lane should be monitored to ensure a safe operation when opening or closing the lane barrier
gate. The motion of the barrier arms must be directly observable by the person operating the lane barrier. While barrier arms are
in motion
NO pedestrian and NO vehicle shall be in the immediate vicinity of the lane barrier area.
• When removing the operator from service, move the arms to the full open position and shut off power at the
service panel.
• Operators and components should be properly installed and maintained following the
recommended service schedule, test the operator monthly. Keep all debris out of arm channel
and from operator housing vents and off of arms. Contact your service dealer for any
maintenance or repairs.
• Vehicular lane barrier gate operator can produce high levels of force, it is
important that you are aware and eliminate possible HAZARDS;
Pinch Points, Entrapment Areas, Overhead Power Wires,
Absence of Controlled Pedestrian Access, Traffic Backup.

Entry Lane Only In-Ground Loop Options
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
plug-In loop detector only.
If using other loop detectors refer to their 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 OR ticket spitter 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.
Switch 4 is ON.
Switch 7 is OFF (Timer). The arm
will rotate down after the vehicle
clears the down loop.
See timer note below.
Switch 5 is ON. The lowering arm
will instantly reverse when photo
sensor gets blocked.

Green LED on photocell will remain
lit when reflector is in correct
position. Permanently mount
reflector making sure LED remains lit. “Fine Tune”
photocell alignment if necessary, see above.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT mount photocell
to the operator cabinet. Cabinet can flex
