7.1 Operating Mode
SECTION 7 - 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 or 2000, 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 (2340-010), 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 or 2000 Inverter /
Backup Power System.
Turn switch 1 ON and the system will automatically
open the arm approximately 3 seconds after loss
of AC power. Automatic mode is always used for
barrier arms in general access applications such as
gated communities, apartment complexes, etc.
Switch 1 OFF is not used.
Automatic Open after loss of AC Power
Once AC power is restored, the system’s control
board can be set to “automatically re-key” the
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.
Initial Power Up Convenience Open Note: The DC power is not present on the main circuit board until the first initial cycle.
