6500 Commercial and Industrial Swing Gate Operator

Easy Access Design, Low Maintenance & Quiet Operation

The 6500 series operators are designed to operate vehicular swing gates in residential, commercial and industrial applications for both single and bi-parting gates. The unique design of this operator allows for easy access to the electronics and mechanical areas of the operator without ever having to remove the gate arm. This simplifies installation and maintenance. The electronic magnetic limits will never wear out or break and they are easily adjusted. The solid steel frame and belt driven gear box make this operator one of the quietest on the market today.

Split Case

Two-piece split polyurethane housing allows easy installation and maintenance.

One of the Quietest

The solid steel frame and belt-driven gearbox make this Operator one of the quietest on the market today.

Breakaway Hub

Unique breakaway hub design prevents gear box damage if the gate is struck.

Loop Detectors

Easy plug-in ports for DKS Loop Detectors.

Easy-to-Adjust Electronic Magnetic Limits

Eliminates old-style mechanical switches that can wear out, break, or fail.

Steel Frame

Provides strength and durability even in harsh weather environments.

Specifications

• Maximum gate width 18-ft. (1/2 HP) or 22-ft. (1 HP).
• Maximum gate weight 700 pounds* (1/2 HP) or 800 pounds* (1 HP). (*Assumes gate swings level and is in good condition with properly adjusted hardware. Other external factors may affect the performance of the gate operator.)
• 1/2 or 1 HP continuous-duty motor.
• 115, 230*, 460* VAC. (*230 and 460 volt units use a step-down power transformer to achieve 115 volt operating voltage.)
• Class I, II, III and IV applications.
• Primary reduction is provided by a pulley / belt driving a 60:1 worm gear reduction system running in a continuous oil bath
• The 6500 rotates the gate 90° in approximately 12-14 seconds
• Operator mechanics are mounted on a steel frame plated for corrosion resistance
• Two-piece articulating arm mechanical slow-start / slow-stop function
• Mounting: operator requires a concrete mounting pad
• Keyed access is provided to release arm for manual gate operation in the event of a power outageSplit polypropylene housing simplifies installation and maintenance.
• Unique breakaway hub helps to protect the gear box if the gate is rammed
• Compliant with UL 325 and 991. ETL Listed.

  (Note: To be compliant with UL 325 and industry safety guidelines, additional Type B1 and/or Type B2 entrapment protection devices are required to be installed with this gate operator.

  Your professional DKS system installer can provide you with more details on these devices and on current industry safety standards.)
