Power related issues commonly cause gate operator problems . Most gate operators have both a primary (high) and secondary (low) voltage. The primary is generally used to power the electric motor and the secondary typically powers the additional equipment such as card readers and telephone entry systems. Usually the primary is 115VAC and the secondary or outgoing voltage is 24VAC or VDC. However, more and more gate operators are being designed as low voltage. They have an incoming and secondary voltage of 12/24 AC/DC. Voltages are extremely important with low voltage operators. will show these voltages to a decimal point.| A high end multi-meter can provide the voltage amount to a decimal point.[/spin]

The first step when troubleshooting an operator is [spin} determining | deciphering | testing | accessing [/spin] whether it’s a high or low voltage problem. If there does not appear to be any primary power , double check the circuit breaker. Turn on the operator; then measure the voltage. An accurate voltage inspection is only obtained while the operator is under “load” while the operator is running, . Next Set the meter to its Min/Max setting. The purpose of doing this is to ensure the meter will keep the highest and lowest voltages [spin] that occur during the cycle. [/spin] If there is a considerable drop in voltage, [spin] this needs to be corrected before advancing to the next step.

When checking for secondary power, first ensure the meter is set properly. Some gate openers require a 12/24 VAC secondary while some gate operators use 12/24 VDC. If the operator is VDC, observe polarity. The positive terminal is posted on the red meter leg and the negative is on the black meter leg. . If there is no voltage reading , check the fuse(s).

Gate Operators

If you are looking for gate operator training, consider Encon Electronics.   Wholesale access control, gate operator and commercial door operator distributor, Encon Electronics held a training seminar with manufacturer DoorKing Access Systems. DoorKing provided their presentation at Encon’s one-of-a-kind technical facility.

Joe Weber, Encon Electronics access control and gate operator veteran began the seminar with an introduction DoorKing Access Products. DoorKing Access Systems’ Ron Miller then began to provide the seminar presentation on DoorKing access control and gate operator products.

A large group of Encon dealers came to the access control and gate operator training seminar to learn about new product offerings from DoorKing Access Systems.

DoorKing’s Ron Miller started the access control and gate operator workshop with a summary of the latest equipment offered at DoorKing Access Systems.. Ron Miller launched the access control portion by presenting the completely revamped DoorKing 1812 residential telephone entry system.

Then he discussed two newly enhanced telephone entry models: the DoorKing 1812-PLUS and and the Doorking 1812 Access Plus . Doorking 1812 Plus telephone entry system offers a completely redesigned control board, with new circuitry for virtually every function, a new audio circuit design intended to enhance audio quality and voice reproduction, and a new power supply that provides clear communication with less interference from marginal installation factors.

Some new upgrades on the new 1812-Plus telephone entry system include 50 available entry codes, dial out functionality for up to 27 phone numbers, automatic answering machine bypass, and programming from system keypad or from a telephone./spin

The best thing about the new DoorKing1812-Plus access control telephone entry system is that customers can enjoy all the new enhancements of the 1812-PLUS at the exact same price as the original DoorKing Access Systems1812 access control telephone entry system, Encon technical sales representative, Lawrence Bourke pointed out.

Ron Miller then discussed the advantages of the DoorKing 1812-Access PLUS telephone entry Two features that distinguish the DoorKing 1812-Access Plus from the Doorking 1812-PLUS is that is also includes card access and PC programming. The DoorKing 1812 Access Plus can interface with up to 23 phone lines and allows the user to control all access points.

Following the installation segment of the DoorKing 1812-Access Plus Miller discussed troubleshooting and provided in depth information on DoorKing’s new commercial swing gate operator- the 6500.

The DoorKing 6500 commercial swing gate operator is available in ½ and 1 HP models Doorking  features adjustable electronic magnetic limits that will not wear out or break and simple connections for the secondary operator in a bi-parting system.

Encon Sales Manager, Zach Eichenberger, said “As always, Encon will continue to provide technical and sales seminars throughout the year covering our entire access control and gate operator product line.
