Low Voltage Supply Option

TIP:

The operator is equipped with a

Modular Power Box that can be relocated to

provide power for low voltage installations. Supplies 24v AC to the operator.

!

Caution:

Always turn off power breakers when working with high voltage. DO NOT

connect the “Power Harness” to the Control Board until the electrical installation is
complete and ready for verification.

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION

Remove the “Power Box” from the operators chassis and relocate to the nearest high
voltage source (115v or 230v single phase AC). Follow local codes or guidelines.

Solar Supply Option

Vikings Solar Package (

part # VA-SOCHP) is an efficient and effective solution to

powering the operator with solar energy.

(See page 46 for package details)

Disconnect the operators

power harness and use the

Solar Harness.

Connect the two

panels in series.

Connect the batteries

in series.

!

IMPORTANT:

The number of cycles achieved daily is dependent on the average solar

radiation of the geographic location and the power consumption of all accessories
being used. Increased panel and battery capacities may be required. See Appendix C
on page 45 for more important information regarding solar applications.

B

MAXIMUM DISTANCE:

400 ft. with 10 AWG wire

!

Tip:

For increased solar efficiency:

By activating the “Pre-Warning”
feature , the “Brake” terminals
will provide power to all non-essential
controls beginning 3 seconds prior to
gate movement and while the gate is
moving. (page 25)
