Doorking 9150-384 Slide Gate Operator - Steel Cover 1/2 HP

Commercial Chain-Drive Automation for Slide Gates up to 1,000 lb

The DoorKing 9150-384 Slide Gate Operator is the 1/2 HP steel-cover configuration of the 9150 series, designed for residential, commercial, industrial, and restricted-access vehicular slide gates. It supports gates up to 1,000 lb and 30 ft long, combining a continuous-duty AC motor with DoorKing's #40 chain-drive system and advanced 4602 control board.

A key feature of the 9150 is its automatic self-setting limit system. Instead of manually positioning traditional mechanical limit switches, the operator learns the gate's fully open and closed positions using the physical gate stops. Whenever AC power is restored, the first open command initiates an automatic learning sequence to establish those travel limits.

The control system 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. Gate Tracker integration is also supported with compatible DoorKing access control systems when the optional expansion board is added.

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. An optional fail-secure release kit is available for installations where the gate must remain mechanically locked during a power outage.

Conclusion

The DoorKing 9150-384 provides the control features and steel enclosure of the 9150 platform for slide gates within the 1,000 lb and 30 ft capacity range. Its self-setting magnetic limits, loop detector integration, programmable traffic-control functions, and fail-safe manual release make it suitable for residential communities, commercial properties, and other controlled vehicular entrances.

The operator requires monitored external entrapment protection in both directions of gate travel. DoorKing specifies at least one monitored Type B1 or B2 device for the opening direction and at least one for the closing direction.

For gates exceeding 1,000 lb or 30 ft, the DoorKing 9150-380 1 HP steel-cover model increases capacity to 1,500 lb and 45 ft.
