DOOR KING 1601-285 Arm Breakaway Kit Kit Installation

This kit is designed for a 1601 barrier gate operator ONLY. It CANNOT be used with 1602 or 1603 operators. The kit provides a breakaway bracket assembly for a round arm.
If the arm is struck and breaks away (pivots in ONE DIRECTION ONLY, see below), gate operator will automatically shut down.
The arm manually snaps back into the release rollers to function normally again.

Breakaway Arm Direction Options

Arm will only pivot in ONE DIRECTION depending on which way the breakaway arm bracket is installed. Choose the desired breakaway direction
and install breakaway arm bracket accordingly (note position of arm pivot bolt and release rollers).

Install Bracket

Hub MUST already be installed on gate operator.
See your specific Barrier Installation/Owner’s manual for correct hub installation.

Peel back reflective tape on both sides of arm. Cut the LED tape with scissors ONLY where indicated on the tape or LED wiring inside the tape WILL GET DAMAGED AND NOT LIGHT! Cut arm where desired with a fine tooth saw. Be careful not to damage the LED tape with the saw. Re stick reflective tape back over LEDs. Reinstall plastic end cap over end of arm.

Install Harness (1601-356)

Choose which side of the operator the arm is mounted on, remove knock-out and run wire harness accordingly as shown.

Secure Wires to Breakaway Bracket

Test the breakaway feature to make sure there is enough slack in the wires when securing wires.
