BATTERY RUN INSTALLATION
If the gate operator is a battery run model, it is packaged from
the factory with the battery disconnected. Connect the red wire to
the positive battery terminal and the black wire to the negative
battery terminal (Figure 3). There are wires provided for
connecting the low voltage burial cable from the transformer to
the gate operator. Be sure that the positive and negative match
the positive and negative of the charger.
Connect the other end of the burial cable from the operator to the
transformer. Be sure to match the positive and negative terminals
of the charger to the positive and negative terminals of the battery
(Figure 4). Once the connections are made, plug the charger into
a 115V outlet. If possible, it is desirable to locate the charger out
of the weather. Be sure the battery has been properly charged
before putting into operation.
NOTE:
Polarity must be correct.
SOLAR POWERED INSTALLATION
If the gate operator is solar powered, no power will need to be
run into the machine. The ends of the wires are provided with
connectors which can simply be plugged in (Figure 5). Turn the
panel so that it will get maximum sunlight during the day. If
necessary the panel may be mounted away from the gate
operator to get it out of the shade and into more consistent
sunlight.
Similarly to the battery run, the solar operator comes with the
battery wires disconnected. For both batteries, connect the black
wires to the negative terminals and the red wires to the positive
terminals (Figure 3). The wires have been labeled to make these
connections easier to do.
