Primary identifier: Horton Series 4000–class operator control · Status: active
Family identification notes for Horton Automatics Series 4000–class operator controls — how they differ in listing practice from Series 2000, and what buyers must verify before purchase.
Identity
- Aliases
- Horton 4000 control board (common_name)
- Horton Automatics Series 4000 controller (oem)
- Horton 4000 Hercules (oem) — DCUSA 2016 section title — swing operator, not Horton 2000 Linear sliding.
- Horton 4000-class operator control (common_name)
- RC4160-1 (revision) — DCUSA 2016 4000 Hercules “MASTER CONTROL.” Identification only — confirm pin count and hand vs RC4190 variants.
- RC4190-10L (revision) — DCUSA 2016 “NEW STYLE CONTROL-10PIN/L.” Left-hand 10-pin — not interchangeable with 12-pin or RH by appearance.
- RC4190-10R (revision) — DCUSA 2016 new-style 10-pin right-hand Hercules control.
- RC4190-12L (revision) — DCUSA 2016 12-pin left-hand Hercules control (also listed as RC4190-12R for RH).
- RC4191 (revision) — DCUSA 2016 Hercules “CONTROL WITHOUT POWER SUPPLY.” Missing PSU is a listing trap.
- Horton Series 2000 board (mistaken) (mistaken) — Habitual mistitling when sellers recognize Horton branding but not the series plate.
- Revision notes
- Series 4000–class branding does not collapse all controls into one revision. Aftermarket 2016 listings for 4000 Hercules (swing) split master control RC4160-1 from RC4190 10-pin/12-pin LH/RH and RC4191 without power supply. Compare the removed board’s silkscreen, pin count, hand, and connectors before treating a listing as a match.
- Labels & connectors to capture
- Horton Automatics branding with Series 4000, Hercules, or related package references
- Sticker PNs such as RC4160-1, RC4190-10L/10R, RC4190-12L/12R, RC4191 — include pin count and L/R
- OEM stickers or silkscreen revision marks on the control assembly
- Multi-pin motor and safety/activation connectors
- Any seated option cards that may be required for the original package
- Common mistaken names
- Horton Series 2000 controls titled as 4000 (or the reverse)
- Any Horton board listed only as “Horton automatic door parts”
Fitment & compatibility
Commercial automatic entrances using Horton Automatics Series 4000–class operator packages. Aftermarket catalogs often mean 4000 Hercules swing (not 2000 Linear sliding). Confirm series plates and swing vs slide before claiming drop-in fit.
Voltage: Use on-unit labeling and Horton documentation for the specific package. Do not infer supply voltage from Series 2000 experience or marketplace photos.
| Equipment / package | Status | Notes | Source / provenance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Horton Automatics Series 4000–class packages (matching generation) | Compatible with caveats | May apply when series labels and connectors match the removed 4000-class control. Series 2000 packages are a separate verification path. | Public Horton Automatics multi-series product positioning; field practice requires series-specific label and harness confirmation. |
| Horton Automatics Series 2000–class packages | Not compatible | Do not assume Series 4000–class controls interchange with Series 2000 based on Horton branding alone. | Series identity is publicly separated in Horton product lines; treat cross-series swaps as incompatible without OEM documentation for the exact control. |

Guides
Curated field notes
Series 4000–class Horton packages are distinct enough from the ubiquitous Series 2000 line that mixing them in surplus titles creates real wrong-part risk. Aftermarket catalogs often list Series 4000 as 4000 Hercules swing with 10-pin/12-pin LH/RH controls — not a generic Horton board and not Series 2000 Linear. Sellers often photograph a Horton enclosure and type only “Horton 2000 board” from habit. Capture the operator plate, control sticker (including pin count and hand), and connector set.
