SECTION 2 - AC POWER TO OPERATOR(S)
Before attempting to connect any wiring to the operator, be sure that the circuit breaker in the electrical panel is in the OFF
position. Permanent wiring must be installed to the operator as required by local electrical codes. It is recommended that a
licensed electrical contractor perform this work.
Since building codes vary from city to city, we highly recommend that you check with your local building department prior
to installing any permanent wiring to be sure that all wiring to the operator (both high and low voltage) complies with local
code requirements.
THIS GATE OPERATOR MUST BE PROPERLY GROUNDED!!
2.1 AC Power Wire Runs and Terminal Connection
If power wiring is greater than the maximum distance shown, it is recommended that a service feeder be installed. When large
gauge wire is used, a separate junction box must be installed for the operator connection. The wire table is based on stranded
copper wire. Wire run calculations are based on an AC power source with a 3% voltage drop on the power line, plus an
additional 10% reduction in distance to allow for other losses in the system.
This table illustrates the high voltage wire size and distance requirements.
Reduce the wire distance in half for primary/secondary dual gate application.

• Route incoming AC power wire through the high voltage
conduit and run wire to the operator electronic box.
• Be sure wiring is installed in accordance with local codes.
Be sure to color code all wiring.
• It is recommended that a surge suppressor be installed on
the high voltage power lines to help protect the operator and
circuit board from surges and power fluctuations.
• Secondary operator in a dual operator application gets power
through the 8-wire interconnection cable that links the
operators together. See 2.2 Primary/Secondary (dual) gate
wiring on the next page.

See page 33 for info about power
switch and cycling the operator.
DO NOT power up and cycle the operator until
the “DIP-Switches” and the “Limit Switches”
have been adjusted. Damage could occur to the
gate and operator.
See pages 22, 23 and 24.
