Wiring 115VAC Power
For standard 115VAC power connection:
•
Verify AC power supply wires and low voltage (12V & 24V accessory power wires) run through two
separate conduits. The higher voltage from the AC power supply may cause interference and anomalies
in SlideSmart operation if the high and low voltage wires are routed through the same conduit.
• Maximum gate operator current draw is 3 Amps on a dedicated 115VAC circuit (20A dedicated circuit is
recommended).
• Make sure proper wire size is used. The following table shows the maximum allowable wire run from the
power source to the operator for various wire sizes.
Table 2-1. Wire Gauge versus Run
Note:Table 2-1 assumes a dedicated circuit with an accessory power load up to 2A.
Additional loads require that the wire size be increased or the distance of the run be decreased.
To connect to 115VAC power, take the following steps:
1. Make sure the AC power is turned off at its source and the DC and AC power switches on the operator are
in the off position.
2. Access the input power wires and service outlet wires by removing the two Phillips-head screws that secure
the high voltage junction box cover. See Figure 2-2.
NOTE
The service outlet wires are solid copper and are labeled and bound together to keep them sepa-
rate from the AC power switch wires.
3. Wire nut or crimp bond the power supply wires to the black and white lead wires coming from the AC
power switch (no label). See Figure 2-2.
4. Wire nut or crimp bond the equipment ground wire to the green ground wire in the junction box.
5. To activate the 115VAC service outlet, include the black and white outlet lead wires and the green ground
wire in the connections made above.
6. Neatly organize all wire connections and replace the high voltage junction box cover. Secure it with the two
Phillips-head screws.
Wiring 208/230VAC Power
CAUTION !
All SlideSmart operators are shipped from the factory as 115VAC units. When connecting to
208/230VAC power, the voltage selector switch on the AC power board must be moved to the
230V position or damage to the operator will occur and void the Limited Warranty.
