115 VAC - 3.3 AMP HEATER AND FAN ASSEMBLY KIT
DoorKing Part Number
6500-480
This kit is designed for 6500

model gate operators
f
or cold weather climates where temperatures routinely drop below
40°F (4°C). A built-in thermostat will automatically control the temperature inside operator housing.

DO NOT
use the “high voltage wire size and distance requirements” table in the Installation/Owner’s manuals to determine the high
voltage AC input power wire size and distance requirements for the gate operator because of a
much greater
current draw when
using the heater. Use the table below to determine the wire size and distances for your chosen gate operator when a heater is
installed. The primary operator should have a
“Dedicated”
circuit breaker at the power source.
If the high voltage AC input power wiring is greater than the maximum distance shown, it is recommended that a service feeder be
installed. When large gauge wire is used, a separate junction box must be installed for the operator connection. Wire run distances
are based on NEC guidelines for copper wire allowing a maximum 3% voltage drop on the line. The calculated distance was then
further reduced by 10% to allow for other loses in the system.
Never
run low voltage rated wire insulation in the same conduit as
high voltage rated wire insulation.

Gate Operator with a Heater
Wire run distances are shown for ONE gate operator with heater. In bi-parting (dual) gate
applications, reduce the distance by one-half.
DO NOT USE THIS HEATER KIT IF THE 6500 OPERATOR IS POWERED FROM THE 2600-266 HIGH
VOLTAGE KIT
, OR IF THE 6524 IS POWERED FROM A 230 VAC SOURCE
. THIS HEATER KIT CAN
ONLY BE USED WITH OPERATORS POWERED DIRECTLY FROM A 115 VAC SOURCE.
