4.3 Manual Gate Operation

This operator is equipped with a manual release system that will allow the gate to be pushed open in the event of a power

outage or equipment failure. NEVER remove the hub from the operator after manually releasing it.

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.

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 activate

the gate operator.

When the operator is in a hard shutdown condition (audio alarm activated or audio alarm “chirps” every 5 seconds),

the only way to reset the gate operator and return it to normal operation is to activate the alarm reset input

(auxiliary terminals 2 and 3). An alarm-reset switch can be mounted external of the gate operator provided that it is

installed in the line of sight of the gate and gate operator.

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 open 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.

1. During normal powered operation, emergency vehicles access the gate by use of the emergency vehicle

access device installed on your gate system. The type of device that is used in your community is dependent

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 a power failure, the emergency vehicle access device may not be functional because the

gate operator is un-powered. If the gate operator is equipped with a convenience open system, this system

will automatically open the gate when primary (AC) power is removed. NOTE: DC convenience open systems

are optional and your gate system may or may not be equipped with one. Check with your installer to

determine if your gate system is equipped with a convenience open system.

3. In the event of a primary (AC) power failure and a back-up system (DC) power failure (low charged or

dead batteries for example), the system must have a release system to allow the gate to be manually

operated.

Resetting a Hard Shutdown

The automatic vehicular gate system must be designed to allow access to emergency vehicles under different operating

conditions.
