3.2.1 Programming Switch Description and Function 8-DIP (Top) Switch
Switch 1: Set so that the operator cycles open upon initial power up and open command. If the
operator cycles close, turn power off and change the setting on this switch.
Switch 2: Turns the auto close timer on or off. Set from 1 to 23 seconds. Loops and loop
detectors, photoelectric cells, or other like devices must be installed when the auto close
timer is used to prevent the gate from closing on vehicular traffic.
Switch 3: Determines if the output of the loop detector (DoorKing loop detectors only) plugged into
the EXIT port will be sent directly to the microprocessor to open the gate, or if the output is directed to
terminal 4 where it can then be connected to other input terminals. If switch 4 is ON, terminal 4 no
longer functions as an open input.
Switches 4-5: These work in conjunction with each other and determine when the relay on the board
will be activated. This relay can be used as a switch for various functions such as illuminating a
warning light when the gate is moving, or turning on a green light when the gate is full open. If a
magnetic lock is used with the gate operator, these switches must be set for magnetic lock operation
which limits the relay to activate only when the gate is opening and full open.
Switch 6: This switch determines the operation of the solenoid lock and is factory set. CAUTION: Do
not change the setting of this switch unless the solenoid / lock assembly has been repositioned for
the operation desired. Changing the setting of this switch without physically changing the lock
assembly will damage the operator.
Switch 7: Determines if an input to terminal 6 will reverse or stop a closing gate. If this switch is set
to stop the gate (ON), once the input to terminal 6 or the reverse loop detector IS CLEARED, the gate
will continue to close. This is typically used to help prevent tailgating.
Switch 8: Turning the timer override feature on will cause the auto close timer to close the gate after
1 second, regardless of the setting of the auto close timer potentiometer. This will also cause an
opening gate to stop and reverse when the reverse (loop) inputs are cleared. This feature, along with
switch 6 above, is useful to prevent tailgating.
4-DIP (Bottom) Switch
Switch 1: This switch must be in the OFF position for normal operation. The self-test feature checks
various functions of the operator. CAUTION - Do not run self-test with the operator connected to the
gate. The drive chain must be disconnected from the operator to run the self-test.
Switch 2: This switch should be left in the OFF position when the slide gate is running on a level or
small incline track and the gate does not coast. Turn this switch ON if the gate opens in the uphill
direction.
Switch 3: Sets the circuit board to function with slide gate operators (switch OFF) or overhead gate
operators (switch ON). This switch must be left in the OFF position for model 9310 Slide Gate
Operator.
Switch 4: This switch should be left in the OFF position when the slide gate is running on a level or
small incline track and the gate does not coast. Turn this switch ON if the gate closes in the uphill
direction.
