DoorKing 9150-380 Slide Gate Operator - Steel Cover 1 HP

Heavy-Duty Chain Drive Automation for Large Commercial Slide Gates

The DoorKing 9150-380 Slide Gate Operator is the 1 HP steel-cover configuration of the 9150 series, designed for larger residential, commercial, industrial, and restricted-access vehicular slide gates. It handles gates up to 1,500 lb and 45 ft long, using a continuous-duty AC motor and #40 chain drive for frequent gate operation.

One of the 9150's defining features is its automatic self-setting limit system. Instead of manually adjusting traditional mechanical limit switches, the operator learns the gate's full open and closed positions using the physical gate stops. Each time AC power is restored, the first open command initiates an automatic learning sequence that locates and stores those positions.

The 4602 control board provides adjustable inherent obstruction sensing, automatic closing, partial opening, Quick Close, anti-tailgating functions, programmable relay operation, and dedicated ports for DoorKing plug-in Exit and Reverse loop detectors. The 9150 also supports Gate Tracker integration with compatible DoorKing access control systems when the optional expansion board is installed.

A factory-installed fail-safe manual release allows the gate to be manually pushed open during an AC power failure without a key or crank. For sites where the gate must remain mechanically secured during an outage, an optional fail-secure release kit is available.

Conclusion

The DoorKing 9150-380 is the 1 HP steel-cover model in the 9150 family and is intended for gates that need greater capacity than the 1/2 HP versions. Its 1,500 lb and 45 ft ratings, self-setting magnetic limits, commercial control functions, loop-detector integration, and fail-safe manual release make it well suited to larger perimeter entrances.

The operator will not run without monitored external entrapment protection in both directions of gate travel. DoorKing requires at least one monitored Type B1 or B2 device for the opening direction and at least one for the closing direction. These can be properly positioned photoeyes, sensing edges, or a combination based on the actual entrapment zones.
