Wiring AC Power
Revision D Power 2-5
For the 208/230VAC power connection:
•
Verify AC power supply wires and low voltage (12V & 24V accessory power wires) run through two
separate conduits as discussed in
Wiring 115VAC Power .
• Maximum gate operator current draw is 1.5 Amps on a dedicated 208/230VAC circuit (20A dedicated circuit
is recommended).
• Make sure proper wire size is used. Refer to the following table.
Table 2-2. Wire Gauge versus Run for 208/230VAC
Note:Table 2-2 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 208/230VAC 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. Remove the High Voltage Protection cover
by unscrewing the two Phillips-head screws
that secure it. See Figure 2-2.
3. Toggle the voltage selector switch from 115V
to 230V. Replace the High Voltage cover and
secure it. See Figure 2-3.
4. Access the input power wires by removing the
two Phillips-head screws that secure the High
Voltage Junction Box Cover. See Figure 2-2.
5. Wire nut or crimp bond the power supply
wires to the black and white lead wires
coming from the AC power switch (no label).
6. Wire nut or crimp bond the equipment
ground wire to the green ground wire in the
junction box.
DANGER
!
Do not connect the 115VAC service outlet to 208/230VAC power supply wires. To use the service
outlet with 208/230VAC supply power, a separate neutral wire (white) must be run from the power
source. Follow guidelines according to the National Electrical Code Article 250.
7. Neatly organize all wire connections and secure the High Voltage Junction Box Cover with the two
Phillips-head screws.
8. Place the 230V 1Ø label on the High Voltage Junction Box Cover over the 115V 1Ø label.
