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!!
Section 1 MUST be completed before power can be turned on.
•
Route incoming high voltage power through underground conduit and into
the operator as shown in Section 1.4 or 1.5 on page 10 or 11.
•
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 2 operators together. See
Section 2.3 Bi-Parting Gates Wiring - Dual Gate operators on the next page.
“Optional” 3.3 Amp Heater Installation Note:
When installing the heater(s), refer to the
“high voltage AC power wire size and
distance requirements”
table on the instruction sheet with the heater kit (P/N 1601-154) for AC power wire run requirements.
Never
run low voltage rated wire insulation in the same conduit as high voltage rated wire insulation.
Every time
the operator is powered up, the
First
open command
will
automatically set the open and close limits of the gate.
(See page 21).
The distance shown in the chart is measured in
Feet
from the operator to the power source. 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. The wire run
calculations are based on a 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 AC power wire size and distance limitations.
