5.1 Operating Mode
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.
• 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 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 during adverse conditions. If continuous gate
and access control system operation is required, refer to the DoorKing Model 2000 Inverter / Backup Power System.
Switch 1 ON, the system will automatically open the gate
approximately 2-3 seconds after a loss of AC power.
Automatic mode is always used for gates in general
access applications such as gated communities, apart-
ment complexes, etc.
Automatic Open
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 an input (switch 3 OFF) before the gate
operator resumes normal operation.
