2.1 High Voltage Wire Runs
2.2 High Voltage Terminal Connection
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.
“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 (208/230VAC P/N 1601-197) (460VAC P/N 1601-198) for AC power wire run requirements.
This table illustrates the high voltage wire size and distance limitations for the operator.

A

be needed in your area. Check local building
codes before installation.
Recommended by DoorKing.
External Power Disconnect Switch
•
Route incoming high voltage power through conduit and into the operator as shown.
•
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.
SECTION 2 - AC POWER TO OPERATOR
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!!

DO NOT
cycle the operator without the OPEN and CLOSE
limit sensors in their specific open and close positions.
The limit sensors or the AC power switch are the only ways to
STOP the operator once an open cycle has started. This could
cause damage to the gate and/or operator if the gate opens too far!
EXTERNAL ENTRAPMENT PROTECTION MUST be connected or the
gate operator WILL NOT function.
