Prior to beginning the installation of the swing gate operator, we suggest that you become familiar with the
instructions, illustrations, and wiring guide-lines in this manual. This will help insure that your installation is
performed in an efficient and professional manner compliant with UL 325 safety and ASTM F2200 construction
standards.
The proper installation of the vehicular swing gate operator is an extremely important and integral part of the
overall access control system.
Check all local building ordinances and building codes prior to installing
this operator. Be sure your installation is in compliance with local codes.
• 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.
• External Entrapment Protection is REQUIRED (photo sensor and/or reversing edge).
• 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.

by soil conditions and local
building codes. Reinforced
concrete recommended.
