SECTION 5 - 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 DoorKing’s 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.

5.1 Circuit Board 2340 Setup

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 slip the operator clutch or stall the DC motor. Damage to the circuit board may result from this condition!

Timer 2340

DIP-Switches

Automatic Mode after loss of AC Power, Switch 1 ON

The system will automatically open the gate approximately 3 seconds after loss of AC power (The timer will run the DC motor). Automatic mode is always used for gates in general access applications such

as gated communities, apartment complexes, etc.

Manual Mode Device Connection
Manual Mode after loss of AC Power,Switch 1 OFF, Residential Use ONLY.

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 timer will run the DC motor). Any control devices wired to the 4502 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.

Restart Options once AC Power is restored, Switch 3

Once AC power is restored, the system’s 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 4502 circuit board (switch 3 OFF) before the operator resumes normal operation.
