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 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
9150-065-W-3-13 7
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 Owners 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.

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.

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!!
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 calculations are based on a AC 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.
Never run low voltage rated wire insulation in the same conduit as high voltage rated wire insulation.
Typical Grounding Sources
Ground to metallic cold water pipe.

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.
Optional High Voltage Kit Installation Note: When installing the 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.

3.1 4602 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. Every time the 9150 is powered up, the First open command will automati-
cally run Multiple gate cycles that will locate and remember the gates open and close positions (See page 25).
Auto-close timer (when
turned on) SW 1, switch 2.

3.2 DIP-Switch SW 1 and SW 2 Settings
The two DIP-switches located on the circuit board are used to program the operator to operate in various modes and to turn on
or off various operating features. Whenever a switch setting is changed, power to the operator must be turned OFF and then
turned back on for the new setting to take affect. Check and review ALL switch settings prior to applying power to the operator.
SW 1 Switch 1 Must OPEN the gate upon initial AC power up and open command. If the first open command begins to close the
gate, turn AC power off and reverse this switch. Opening direction will vary depending on the type of installation (See above).
SW 1 Switch 2 Turns the auto-close timer on or off. Can be adjusted from 1 to 23 seconds to close gate.
SW 1 Switch 3 This switch should be left in the OFF position when the slide gate is running on a level track and the gate does not
coast after it has stopped. If the gate is on an incline, turning this switch on will apply a small DC voltage to the motor windings
after the gate has stopped. This applies braking power to the motor to prevent the gate from coasting after it has stopped.
SW 1 Switches 4-5 These 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. If a magnetic lock is used with the gate operator, these switches must be set for magnetic
lock operation which limits the relay to activate only when the gate is opening and full open.
SW 1 Switch 6 This switch is a self-test feature that checks various functions of the circuit board and is used for bench test only.
Do not run this test with the operator connected to the gate.
SW 1 Switches 7-8 These work in conjunction with each other and determine if the operator will stop the gate at the full open
position, or if the gate should stop 1, 2 or 3 inches short of the full open position. Needed only when using a reversing edge
entrapment protection device on the opening edge of the gate with an end post as the physical stop.

SW 2 Switch 1 Switch 1 ON, plug-in exit loop detector is a normal full open input. Switch 1 OFF, the normal exit loop port
function is bypassed and a jumper wire is needed to open and close gate(s) for certain applications (Single operator automatic
exit loop partial open or dual operator application) depending on the type of loop detector used and position of jumper wire.
SW 2 Switch 2 Determines if an input to terminal #6 (Photo Sensors) AND/OR reverse loops will reverse OR stop a CLOSING gate.
A tailgating vehicle can activate terminal #6 (Photo sensors) and/or reverse loops while the gate is in the closing cycle from the
previous vehicles authorized entry:
If switch 2 is turned OFF (Reverse), the closing gate that gets activated by a tailgating vehicle will reverse back to the open
position, possibly allowing the tailgating vehicle unauthorized entry while the gate is reversing back to the open position.
If switch 2 is turned ON (Stop), the closing gate that gets activated by a tailgating vehicle will stop, partially or completely
blocking the pathway, NOT allowing the tailgating vehicle to enter without proper authorization. The gate will not move until all
sensors are clear, usually forcing the tailgating vehicle that activated the sensors to back away from the gate. The gate will then
continue until closed, helping prevent the tailgating vehicle from unauthorized entry.
SW 2 Switch 3 Switch must be in the OFF position. Inputs connected to terminal #5 will open and reverse the gate only 14 Ft.
SW 2 Switch 4 This switch determines the operation of the built-in solenoid lock. The OFF setting is the factory setup. Caution:
Do not set this switch to ON unless the 2600-865 fail-secure manual release kit has been installed in the operator.
Changing this switch to the ON setting without installing the lock kit will damage the operator. See pages 37 and 38 for more
information about Fail-Safe vs. Fail-Secure release systems.
SW 2 Switch 6 Turning the quick-close feature on will cause the auto-close timer to close the gate after 1 second, regardless of
the setting of the auto-close timer potentiometer. This will also cause an opening gate to stop and reverse when the reverse
loops and/or photo sensors are cleared. This feature, along with turning SW 2, switch 2 ON above, is useful to help prevent
tailgating vehicles from unauthorized entry.
SW 2 Switches 7-8 These work in conjunction with each other and determine if the operator will stop the gate at the full close
position, or if the gate should stop 1, 2 or 3 inches short of the full close position. Needed only when using a reversing edge
entrapment protection device on the closing edge of the gate with an end post as the physical stop.

3.3 Automatic Open / Close Limit Adjustment
Gate MUST open until it contacts the physical open stop. (if gate starts to close, turn power off and
change the direction operator opens (SW 1, switch 1). Turn power back on and give open command again).

Auto-close timer will close the gate until it contacts the physical close stop. (Manual close command
required if timer is turned off).

Gate will automatically open until it gets approximately 12 inches away from the full open position and
stop, then continue opening until it contacts the physical open stop again.

Auto-close timer will close the gate until it gets approximately 12 inches away from the full close position
and stop, then continue closing until it contacts the physical close stop again. (Manual close command
required if timer is turned off).
Sequence of Automatic Multiple Gate Cycles to Set Gate Limits
Open
Open
Close
Close
Sequence
Finished
After the first open command is given to the operator (gate can be in any position):
Open and close gate positions are now set and will be remembered by the 9150 (until it loses AC power).
Gate will function normally after automatic Multiple Gate Cycles sequence has finished.
The 9150s open/close limits DO NOT have to be physically adjusted. Every time the 9150 is powered up, the first open
command will automatically run Multiple gate cycles that will locate and remember the gates open and close positions.
These positions are determined by the physical stops that have been installed (See section 1.2, page 10).
Timer: The Auto-Close Timer should be turned ON (SW 1, switch 2) to allow the multiple gate cycles to run automatically,
otherwise manual close commands will be required to complete this sequence.
Clutch: The clutchs factory setting will work correctly for most installations. The clutch must NOT slip while the gate is cycling
between the full open and full closed position or the gate limits will be incorrect. If the clutch slips during this period, it must be
tightened before running this sequence (See section 3.4 on the next page).
Safety Devices: Run this sequence before testing any safety features (primary inherent reverse sensor, secondary entrapment
protection, entrapment alarm and reset features).
Reversing Edge mounted on the Gate using End Posts: When using a reversing edge on either end of the gate with an end
post as the physical stop, the reversing edge must be disconnected from the circuit board everytime this sequence will be run
(the UL 325 terminal can be unplugged from the circuit board).
CAUTION: Keep pedestrians and vehicles clear of the gate while this sequence is running!
Note: If gate encounters an obstruction during this sequencing,
it will automatically continue after obstruction has been cleared.

3.4 Clutch Adjustment
Test the operator clutch adjustment:
CAUTION: Keep pedestrians and vehicles clear of the gate while
testing clutch!
Place an immobile object along the gate path, allowing the gate to strike
it while in the open and close cycles. The clutch must slip and the gate
must reverse direction after striking the object. If it does not, readjust
the clutch. Repeat this test until the correct clutch adjustment has been
achieved. The operator will assume a soft shutdown after striking and
reversing the gate which will require a key switch command to cycle
operator again.

4
In addition to the inherent reverse sensor, this operator is equipped with a mechanical slip clutch (UL 325 Type C) to further reduce the
possibility of injury should an entrapment occur. DO NOT over tighten the clutch to compensate for a gate that is damaged, poorly constructed
or too heavy. Over tightening the clutch would create a hazard which could result in serious injury or death to persons who may become
entrapped.
Hex Bolt
Magnetic
Spring Assembly
To adjust clutch:
Hex nut is connected to black plastic magnet holder.
Important Note: 2 magnetic sensors located on the bottom of
the circuit board sense when the magnetic spring assembly is
slipping during operation. Keep all high voltage wires away from
the 2 sensors to avoid any electrical interference between the
sensors and magnets.
Note: After power has been turned back on, the first open command will
automatically run the multiple gate cycles to locate and remember the open
and close gate positions (See section 3.3 on previous page).
Make sure power to operator is OFF when adjusting clutch.
Hold large pulley to loosen the hex bolt counter clockwise.
Magnetic spring assembly can now be loosened (counter clockwise) or tightened
(clockwise) to adjust the clutch.
Tighten the hex bolt to lock assembly after adjustment.
3.5 Inherent Reverse Sensor Adjustment
Test the operator reversing sensitivity:
Press the Key Switch button to cycle the gate.
While gate is cycling, slowly rotate reverse sensor clockwise until the gate reverses direction.
Rotate reverse sensor back counter-clockwise approximately 1/8 turn.
Cycle the gate a few times to be sure that it cycles completely.
Place an immobile object along the gate path, allowing the gate to strike it while in the open and close cycles. The gate must reverse direction
after striking the object. If it does not, increase the reverse sensitivity (step ) and repeat this test until the correct sensitivity has been set. The
operator will assume a soft shutdown after striking and reversing the gate which will require a key switch command to cycle operator again.

Min Max
Sensitivity Key Switch
Reverse
Sensitivity
Note: Each operator must be individually
adjusted if dual operators have been installed.
Ideal Clutch Adjustment: The operator will cycle the gate without the clutch slipping. The clutch
will slip and the gate will reverse ONLY after striking an obstruction with no more than 75 Lbs of force.
This force can be measured with a gate scale, DoorKing P/N 2600-225.
This vehicular gate operator is equipped with an inherent adjustable reversing sensor (Type A) used as the primary entrapment protection
system according to UL 325 standards. The gate will reverse direction after physically encountering an obstruction in either the
opening or closing gate cycle.
If the Auto-Close Timer (DIP-switch SW 1, switch 2) is ON and the gate physically encounters an obstruction during the CLOSING cycle, it
will reverse to the open position and HOLD the gate at this position (Soft shutdown condition). Another input command is needed before the
gate will reset and close again.
If the Partial Open Feature is being used and the gate physically encounters an obstruction during the CLOSING cycle, the gate will only
reverse to the FULL open position and NOT the partial open position.
For the reverse system to function correctly, the gate must be properly installed and work freely in both directions. The clutch must be
properly adjusted before adjusting the reverse sensor.

Secondary Entrapment Protection Devices:
In addition to the inherent reversing sensor system, the Model 9150 has a 5-pin UL 325 terminal for the connection of photo sensors-Type B1
and reversing edges-Type B2 secondary entrapment protection devices required by UL 325 standards. Entrapment protection devices must
be installed to reduce the risk of injury. Install these devices where the risk of entrapment or obstruction exists while the gate is moving.
The Model 9150 offers numerous options to meet your specific needs. The next 2 pages show wiring and typical positioning of the entrapment
protection devices but specific installations will vary.

Automatic Exit Loop
Automatically opens the gate for exiting vehicles
without having to use a transmitter or keypad. The
exit loop can be placed a minimum of 4 feet away
from the reverse loop or far enough away from the
gate so the gate has started or completely opened
by the time you drive up to it (Free exit).
Exit loop lead-in
wires are twisted
approx. 6 twists
per foot.
To help protect the operator from accidentally closing on vehicles in the gates path, DoorKing highly recommends that loops
and loop detectors 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 opening or closing on a vehicle when it is in the gates path. DoorKing recommends that
a licensed installer perform this work.

Loop-Detectors Information

SECTION 6 - OPERATING 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 and power has been shut-off.
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.

after pressing the reset
button.
9150-065-W-3-13 36
6.2 Shutdown Conditions
Under various entrapment conditions the operator will assume either a soft or hard (alarm) shutdown. To determine what
type of reset action is required, you will need to understand how the different entrapment conditions affect the gate
operator.
This occurs in various situations where the inherent or secondary entrapment protection devices have been activated.
In a soft shutdown condition, the operator will not respond to any input that was present when the entrapment
protection device sensed an obstruction. If the gate stops at the open position, the operator will not respond to the
automatic close timer.
Note: In some systems, the time clock input comes from the telephone entry system relay. This same relay may also
provide open commands for a card reader, MicroPLUS transmitters and the visitor telephone entry. If so, these devices
will also be disabled in a soft shutdown condition.
In some conditions, a soft shutdown will reset as soon as the entrapment condition clears. For example, if a
non-contact sensor (photo cell) is sensing an obstruction, the operator will stop the gate and assume a soft
shutdown condition. When the photocell clears, the operator will return to normal operation.

When the operator is in a soft shutdown, activation of any "intended input" will reset the operator. An "intended
input" includes any command, any standard safety input and any loop input. Activating any of these inputs will reset
the gate. At that point the gate will return to normal operation. If the gate is open, the automatic close timer will
then time out and close the gate.
Example 1 - A time clock keys the gate open in the morning and an entrapment protection device senses
an obstruction prior to the gate reaching the full open position. If the entrapment is sensed by the inherent
system, the gate will reverse and run back to the closed position. The time clock input is still present, but
the gate will not re-open.
Example 2 - If the gate is closing and an entrapment protection device is activated, the gate will either stop
or reverse and run back to the open position, depending upon if the secondary or inherent device was
activated. The automatic close timer will not close the gate.

Example 3 - Vehicle arrives at exit loop and gate runs towards the open position. If the inherent entrapment
protection gets activated during this opening cycle, the gate reverses and runs back to the closed position.
After the inherent entrapment protection is cleared, If the vehicle is still present at the exit loop, a soft
shutdown condition does not occur. The exit loop input provides an immediate reset of the operator and the
gate will again run to the open position.
Soft Shutdown
Resetting a Soft Shutdown
Hard Shutdown (Alarm Activated)
A hard shutdown condition occurs when: (1.) The inherent entrapment protection system (Type A) gets activated
TWO consecutive times before the gate completes the open or close cycle. (2.) The reversing edge (Type B2) gets
activated and reverses but before the gate completes the reverse cycle the inherent entrapment protection system
(Type A) gets activated.
Example of a Hard Shutdown - The gate is closing and the inherent entrapment protection system senses
an obstruction and causes the gate to reverse direction. As the gate begins to run in the open direction, a
second obstruction is sensed prior to the gate reaching the full open position. Once the second obstruction
has been sensed, the operator will stop, the audio alarm will sound and all standard inputs are shut
down (including open commands, safety commands, loop inputs, etc.).
To silence the alarm, press the reset button or after 5 minutes, the audio alarm will shut off but will
chirp every 5 seconds. This indicates that the operator is in a hard shutdown condition (The reset
button must be pressed to reset the operator and stop the alarm chirping).
9150-065-W-3-13 37
6.3 Manual Gate Operation
Fail-Safe Manual Release System (Factory Installed)
This operator is equipped with one of two types of manual release systems, Fail-Safe (required by many city codes) or
Fail-Secure that will allow the gate to be pushed open in the event of a power outage or equipment failure.
This manual release system is the most reliable and safest method for placing the gate operator in manual
operation. It is the preferred method of emergency gate operation under worse case conditions by many Fire Chiefs
and Building Inspectors and is typically used in Class I and Class II applications. This system is accessible from
either side of the gate and requires NO keys, cranks or other tools to manually operate the gate. This prevents any
delays for emergency vehicle access in the event of a power outage. The operator Fails (Loss of AC power) in a
Safe (Manually operable) condition.
Solenoid lock does NOT secure the clutch plate during an
AC power failure or turning AC power off. Gate can be
immediately manually operated during these conditions.
Solenoid lock WILL retract and secure the clutch plate during
normal operation ONLY if operator senses an unauthorized
manual open attempt. Gate will NOT be allowed to move.
Caution: Never attempt to manually push open any gate with an operator attached to it until you
have verified that power to the operator has been shut-off.

SW 2
Note: DoorKing operators have a built-in alarm reset push button mounted on the operator above the power ON-OFF
toggle switch. Activating this button will return the gate operator to normal operation, but will not cycle the gate
operator. A remote alarm/reset station (P/N 1404-080) can be mounted external of the gate operator provided that it
is installed in the line-of-sight of the gate and gate operator.
The operator is in a hard shutdown condition when the audio alarm is sounding OR chirping every 5 seconds.
Once the gate has been reset, an open or close command is needed to start the gate operator. Most activating
commands will cause the gate operator to cycle to the open position. This includes activation of a key switch or
open command and activation of an automatic exit loop. Activation of a close command will run the gate to the
closed position.
Before resetting a hard shutdown, determine why the shutdown occurred. Inspect the gate for any
obstructions along its path that could have activated the inherent entrapment sensing system. Inspect
the gate and gate hardware.
The gate operator WILL NOT lose its open and close positions after resetting a hard shutdown.
Resetting a Hard Shutdown
The audio alarm will sound for five minutes, or until the operators reset button is pushed. After (5) five minutes the
alarm will chirp every 5 sec. and the hard shutdown condition will remain in affect until the reset button is pushed.

Emergency Vehicle Access Conditions
Fail-Secure Manual Release System (Owner Installed)
Solenoid lock does NOT allow the clutch plate to rotate when:
The AC power is on but the operator is not cycling.
The AC power is turned off.
AC power failure.
1. During normal AC powered operation, emergency vehicles access the gate by a separate emergency access
device individually installed and wired to your gate system. The type of devices that can be used in your commu-
nity depends on your city codes. These devices may include (but are not limited to) Fire Department lock boxes,
Click-2-Enter radio receivers, strobe light sensors, siren sensors, etc.

2. In the event of an AC power failure, the emergency vehicle access device will not function because the gate
operator is un-powered. Fail-Safe or Fail-Secure release systems for the 9150 allow the gate to be manually
operated during AC power failure. ONLY the Fail-Safe release system allows the gate to be manually operated
without unlocking the operator first and has been designed that way to allow emergency personnel to immediately
manually operate the gate from either side under emergency situations.
This automatic vehicular gate system is designed to allow access to emergency vehicles under different operating conditions.

9150-065-W-3-13 39
SECTION 7 - OPTIONAL CONVENIENCE OPEN ADJUSTMENTS
The optional convenience open system installed in your vehicular gate operator is designed as a convenience enhancement only.
It is not designed or intended to provide continuous gate operation during a power outage. Its sole purpose is to provide a
method to open the vehicular gate to allow unimpeded traffic flow when the gate and access control system is without power. If
your access control system requires 100% power backup and continuous operation when primary (AC) power has failed, a
power inverter / backup system, such as DoorKings Model 2000, is required.
The convenience open system cannot provide continuous gate operation during a power outage.
The gate will cycle (Manual or Automatic Mode) to the open position ONE TIME ONLY after AC power failure.
The convenience open system requires testing on a monthly basis to insure the batteries are fully charged and that the
system is operational.
The convenience open system uses two 12-volt, 3.0 amp-hour gel-cell batteries. These batteries should be replaced
every two years on average, or sooner if required.
Batteries are affected by temperature. Cold temperatures will reduce the effectiveness of the batteries. High temperatures
will result in a shortened battery life.
Batteries are not covered under warranty.
7.1 Circuit Board (2340) Setup
The Convenience Open system will automatically
open the gate approximately 3 seconds after loss
of AC power. The DC timer will run the DC motor.
NO devices need to be connected to the 2340
board. Automatic mode is always used for gates in general access
applications such as gated communities, apartment complexes, etc.
The system will NOT automatically open the gate
after loss of AC power. A manual input is needed
(Remote, push button or a key switch) to open
the gate from one of the Manual Mode Devices
physically wired to the 2340 circuit board (The DC timer will run the DC
motor). Any control devices wired to the 4602 main terminal will NOT
function after loss of AC power.
Note: If the gate operator is controlled by a DoorKing access controller
(Models 1833, 1835, 1837 or 1838), the Manual Mode will NOT function
during a power outage.
DC Timer: MUST be adjusted so the gate stops approximately six inches from the full open position. Clockwise increases
the DC motor run time, counter-clockwise decreases the run time. Do not allow the DC motor to run long enough to hit the
gate stop and continue to run. The operator clutch will slip and stall the DC motor. The circuit board may get damaged!
This radio receiver will work during
normal daily operation as well as
during a power outage. The radio
receiver will be powered from the
operators batteries during a power
outage.
Automatic Mode after loss of AC Power, Switch 1 ON.
Manual Mode after loss of AC Power, Switch 1 OFF,
Residential Use ONLY.
Manual Mode Device Connection
Once AC power is restored, the systems control
board can be set to automatically re-key the
gate operator (switch 3 ON) to establish normal
operation, or can be set to require a manual input from the 2340 OR
4602 circuit board (switch 3 OFF) before the operator resumes normal
operation.
Restart Options once AC Power is restored,

8.1 Maintenance
SECTION 8 - MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING
Inspection and service of this gate operator by a qualified technician should be performed anytime a malfunction is observed or
suspected. High cycle usage may require more frequent service checks.
When servicing the gate operator, always check any secondary
(external) reversing devices (loops, photocells, etc.) for proper
operation. If external reversing devices cannot be made operable,
do not place this operator in service until the malfunction can be
identified and corrected.

Always check the inherent reversing system when performing any
maintenance. If the inherent reversing system cannot be made
operable, remove this operator from service until the cause of the
malfunction is identified and corrected. Keeping this operator in
service when the inherent reversing system is malfunctioning
creates a hazard for persons which can result in serious injury or
death should they become entrapped in the gate.

When servicing this gate operator, always turn power OFF!!

Batteries
DC Open System
If operator is equipped with optional DC open system, check the
batteries for any leakage or loose connections. Batteries should
be replaced every two years.
If operator is equipped with optional DC open system, check to
be sure the system opens the gate upon loss of AC power.
9150-065-W-3-13 42
8.2 Troubleshooting
Have a good VOM meter to check voltages and continuity. A Meg-Ohm meter capable of checking up to 500 meg-ohms of
resistance is necessary to properly check the integrity of the ground loops. When a malfunction occurs, isolate the problem to
one of three areas: 1. the operator, 2. the loop system, 3. the keying devices. Use caution when checking high voltage
terminals, motor capacitor and the motor.
1. Check the input indicator LEDs. They should only come ON when a keying device (card reader, push button, etc.) is activated.
If any of the input LEDs are ON continuously, this will cause the gate operator to hold open. Disconnect the keying devices one
at a time until the LED goes OFF.
2. Check any external secondary entrapment protection devices. Any short or malfunction in these devices can cause the gate
operator to stop or to hold open.
3. A malfunction in a loop or loop detector can cause the gate operator to hold open, or to not detect a vehicle when it is
present over the loop. Pull the loop detector circuit boards from the loop ports on the operator circuit board. If the malfunction
persists, the problem is not with the loop system. For more information on trouble shooting loops and loop detectors, refer to
your loop detector instruction sheet and to the DoorKing Loop and Loop Detector Information Manual.
4. Check to be sure that there are no shorted or open control wires from the keying devices to the gate operator. If a keying
device fails to open the gate, press the Key Switch or momentarily jumper across terminals 4 and 18 on the operator circuit
board. If the gate operator starts, this indicates that a problem exist with the keying device and is not with the gate operator.
5. If a three-button control station (open-close-stop) is connected to this gate operator, check for proper wiring. Only a
DoorKing three button control station (P/N 1200-006 or 007) can be used with this gate operator. Others will cause a
malfunction.
6. Check the high voltage supply. A voltage drop on the supply line (usually caused by using too small supply voltage wires) will
cause the operator to malfunction. Refer to the wire size chart in section 2.1 on page 20.
Symptom Possible Solution(s)
Check that AC power to the operator is turned ON.
Transformer may be overheated. Turn power off and allow board to cool for several minutes then
retest. Check for low 115 VAC power and low voltage shorts.
Check for 115 VAC at high voltage terminal. If voltage measures 0, check the incoming power wires
or replace the circuit board.
If a photo-cell is used as a secondary entrapment prevention device, check to be sure that the beam
is not blocked.
Be sure that the chain is not too tight. A too tight chain may cause the operator to stall.
Bypass circuit board and Check Motor:
Turn power switch OFF and remove the circuit board. Place a jumper wire from the 117 VAC
SWITCHED terminal to the BLUE wire on the 8 pin POWER connector on the control board.
CAUTION HIGH VOLTAGE. Turn the power switch on. The motor should run. Turn the power
switch OFF and remove the jumper.
With power still OFF, place a jumper wire from the 117 VAC SWITCHED terminal to the RED wire on
the 8 pin POWER connector on the control board. CAUTION HIGH VOLTAGE. Turn the power
switch on. The motor should run in the opposite direction. Turn the power switch off and remove
the jumper.
If the motor runs in both steps above, replace the control board. If the motor does not run, or runs
in only one direction, problem can be a bad motor, motor capacitor, motor resistors, wire
connections from the control board to the motor or a bad control board.
Operator will
not run. Power
LED is OFF.
Operator will
not run. Power
LED is ON.
9150-065-W-3-13 43
Symptom Possible Solution(s)
Check the input LEDs. Any ON will hold the gate open and indicates a problem with a keying device.
Check the secondary safety devices. Any activated will hold the gate open and indicates a problem
with the safety device.
Check the loop detectors. Any activated can hold the gate open and indicates a problem with the
loop detector or ground loop.
Operator may be in a soft shutdown. Activate any keying device to determine if operator returns
to normal operation.
If automatic close is desired, be sure SW 1, switch 2 is ON and set timer open from 1-23 seconds.
Bypass circuit board and check motor as described on previous page.
Gate opens but
will not close.
Gate closes but
will not open.
Operator may be in a soft shutdown. Check input LEDs. If any are ON, momentarily disconnect,
then re-connect the wire going to the respective terminal. Operator should open.
Check to be sure that the operator is running in the proper direction. Turn power OFF, and then back
ON. Activate a keying device. Operator should run in the open direction. If operator runs in the
close direction, turn power OFF and change direction switch SW 1, switch 1. Go to above section if
operator now opens but will not close.
Be sure that the each LED on the control board lights when the keying device connected to the
that terminal is activated. If LED does not light, momentarily place a jumper wire from terminal 1 to
the input terminal being checked. If LED lights and gate opens, problem is with the keying device. If
LED does not light, replace control board.
Bypass circuit board and check motor as described on previous page.
Check that the clutch is adjusted properly and is not slipping.
Disconnect the gate from the gate operator and check that the gate slides freely without any binding.
Re-adjust the reverse sensitivity.
Check that the magnetic pickup transistors on control board are not obstructed by excess wires.
Electrical interference from excess wires can diminish magnetic field.
Check that the magnetic pickup transistors on control board are within 1/8 inch of the clear plastic
protective cover above the black plastic magnetic spring assembly on the main shaft.
Contunue troubleshooting or replace the circuit board.

Check the loop detector LEDs and input LEDs. Any that flash ON will cause the gate to reverse.
Check the Magnetic Sensor LEDs on the circuit board. If either LED is not blinking as the operator is
running, check that the magnetic pickup transistors are within 1/8 inch of the protective plastic
cover above the magnet assembly on the main shaft.
Contunue troubleshooting or replace the circuit board.
Operator has been in a hard shutdown condition in excess of 5 minutes. Reset button must be
pushed to return operator to normal operation, see Section 6.2 Shutdown Conditions, pages 36-37.
