SECTION 1 - INSTALLATION
Prior to beginning the installation of the slide gate operator, we suggest that you become familiar with the
instructions, illustrations, and wiring guide-lines in this manual. This will help insure that your installation is
performed in an efficient and professional manner compliant with UL 325 safety and ASTM F2200 construction
standards.
The proper installation of the vehicular slide gate operator is an extremely important and integral part of the
overall access control system. Check all local building ordinances and building codes prior to installing this
operator. Be sure your installation is in compliance with local codes.

1.2 Underground Conduit Requirements
•
The conduit requirements are for a typical slide gate operator installation).
The conduit requirements for your
application may vary from this depending on your specific needs.
•
Use only sweeps for conduit bends. Do not use 90° elbows as this will make wire pulls very difficult
and can cause damage to wire insulation.
•
DoorKing recommends using 3/4-inch conduit.
•
Be sure that all conduits are installed in accordance with local codes.
•
Never
run low voltage rated wire insulation in the same conduit as high voltage rated wire insulation.
