SECTION 6 - OPTIONAL CONVENIENCE OPEN SYSTEM
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 DoorKing’s Model 1000 is required.
• The convenience open system cannot provide continuous gate operation during a power outage.
•
This system cycles the arm 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.
This convenience open system consist of a control board (1473-010), motor and power supply (batteries) providing a
completely redundant drive system to open the barrier arm should a power outage occur. This system is not designed to
maintain continuous barrier operation; rather it provides a convenient method to open the arm once during adverse conditions.
If continuous barrier and access control system operation is required, refer to the DoorKing Model 1000 Inverter / Backup
Power System.
Initial Power Up Convenience Open Note:
The DC power is not present on the main
circuit board until the first initial cycle.

Operating Note: Arm will cycle to UP
position automatically (DIP-Switch 1
ON) during an AC power failure.
Operator’s DC limit sensor will stop
and hold the arm in the UP position
(DIP-Switch 4 ON). Operator will
automatically return to normal
operation once AC power has been
restored (DIP-Switch 3 ON).
