1600 115 VAC - 3.3 AMP HEATER KIT
120 Glasgow Avenue
Inglewood, California 90301 U.S.A.
DoorKing Part Number

This kit is designed for the 1600 model barrier gate operators only. For 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 barrier 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 barrier gate operator when a
heater is installed. EACH 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.
