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.

•This system cycles the gate 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 Operating Mode

This convenience open system consist of a control board (2340-010), motor and power supply (batteries) providing a completely redundant drive system to open the gate should a power outage occur. This system is not designed to maintain continuous gate operation; rather it provides a convenient method to open a gate ONCE during adverse conditions. If continuous gate and access control system operation is required, refer to the DoorKing Model 2000 Inverter / Backup Power System.

 

Automatic Open after loss of AC Power

 

Turn switch 1 ON and the system will automatically

2340

open the gate approximately 3 seconds after loss of

AC power. Automatic mode is always used for for

 

gates in general access applications such as gated

 

communities, apartment complexes, etc.

 

Switch 1 OFF is not used.
DIP-SwitchesRestart Options once AC Power is restored

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” (switch 3 OFF) before the operator resumes normal operation.
