DoorKing Part Number
HIGH VOLTAGE KIT
2600-266
This kit will alter the input AC voltage on a DoorKing 115 VAC: 6500, 6300, 9000, 9150 or 1600 Series operators to
208, 230, 460 or 575 VAC. DO NOT USE THIS KIT ON ANY OTHER OPERATOR.
Choose and follow the installation and wiring instructions for YOUR specific operator on the next 4 pages.
AC Input Power Wire Limitations
The table below shows the AC input power wire size and maximum distance wire run limitations. If AC power wire run 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. An external power disconnect switch is required. Check local building codes before installation.
Primary/Single Operator
Input Voltage
Never run HIGH voltage rated wire
insulation in the same conduit as
LOW voltage rated wire insulation.
Keep them in separate conduits.

Note: 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.

Model 6500
Installation for a 115 VAC 6500 primary operator ONLY.
Step 1: Bolt step-down transformer in position shown depending on the model you have using
the nuts and bolts supplied with this kit.
Step 2: Wire the step-down transformer for the desired input voltage (see first page).
Important Notes:
Dual Gate Operators Installation: When installing on
bi-parting gates, a step-down transformer and AC input
power wire is only required for the PRIMARY gate
operator. Reduce the AC input power wire run max
distance by ONE-HALF.
“Optional” Heater Installation: When installing a heater,
refer to the “high voltage AC power wire size and
distance limitations” table on the instruction sheet with
the heater kit for AC input power wire run limitations.

Model 9150
Installation for a 115 VAC 9150 operator ONLY.
Step 1: Mount step-down transformer on the (4) four existing threaded studs (below the motor) using the (4) four nuts supplied with this kit.
Attach the wires acrossed the top of the main support bracket. Avoid moving parts.
TIP: It is MUCH easier to install the step-down transformer before mounting the operator and attaching the chain. Flip operator upside down for access.
Step 2: Wire the step-down transformer for the desired input voltage chosen (see first page).
Important Notes:
Dual Gate Operators Installation: When installing on bi-parting gates,
a step-down transformer and AC input power wire is required for
EACH operator.
“Optional” Heater Installation: When installing
a heater, refer to the “high voltage AC
