1000 Backup Power Inverter & Batteries

No Power? No Problem

DoorKing’s 1000 Power Inverter is designed to provide backup power for your Gate Operator and/or additional Access Control devices when primary (AC) power fails. Unlike DC Gate Operators that can only backup the Gate Operator itself with internal batteries to run the DC motor, the 1000 Power Inverter converts DC battery power to AC power to keep all Access Control components, even those that are powered by AC Accessory Transformers, operable at all times. DC Gate Operators do not convert their battery power to AC, which renders all the additional AC-powered components of an Access Control System inoperable during a power outage or brownout.

The 1000 Power Inverter & Batteries provide reliable backup power for most aspects of an Access Control System, including Gate Operators operating a single gate, Loop Detectors, Secondary Entrapment Devices, Entry Systems, Card Access Systems, RF Controls, Traffic Control Devices, and other components.

Product Compatibility

How It Works

Every Access Control System has unique power requirements, please consult with a DKS Dealer to understand the power requirements of your System and determine the backup power runtime for all components. The illustration below is an example of an Access Control System that will run for approximately X TIME PERIOD in a light duty setting.
