Connect the Main Power
WARNING! Turn off the main power before
you make any electrical connections.
The installer is responsible for providing a dedicated 20
Amp circuit breaker and for making sure that all
electrical wiring and connections conform to all
applicable electrical codes.
By now, the conduit from your power source should be
stubbed up beneath the operator as discussed earlier in
the operator mounting section and shown in Figure 2.
The 885 Operator requires 115 VAC. The 115 volt
power should run through the 2” knockout on the right
side of the operator and be terminated in the junction box
(single gang handy box) mounted slightly above the
knockout, see Figure 6. Remove the blank cover and run
the power wires in through the open fitting on the left
side of the box. Connect the 115-volt line to the black
wire (or the black wire labeled “1”). Connect the neutral
to the white wire (or the black wire labeled “2”).
Connect the ground wire to the yellow wire with the
green stripe. Reinstall the cover on the junction box.

Power Switch and Receptacle
On the top of the 885 Operator (next to the control panel)
there is a main power disconnect switch and a 115-volt
receptacle. The switch controls power to the entire
operator, including the receptacle. The receptacle
provides power for keypads, telephone entry systems,
and other devices that require the use of a plug-in
transformer.

WARNING! Turn off the main power before
you make any electrical connections.
Plug-in Loop Detectors
The 885 CAT provides terminals for plug-in Free Exit
and Safety loop detectors. When plugging the detectors
in, be sure that the component side of the detector faces
the display on the 885 CAT. If the installation does not
require the use of one or both detectors, simply leave the
appropriate terminal empty.
The terminal labeled “EXIT LOOP” or “J1” accepts a
detector to serve as a free exit. Plug the detector in and
connect the loop leads to terminals 11 and 12. If you are
using more than one exit loop, connect the loops in series
across terminals 11 and 12. See Figures 7 and 8.
The terminal labeled “SAFETY LOOP” or “J2” accepts
a detector to serve as a safety. Plug the detector in and
connect the loop leads to terminals 9 and 10. If you are
using more than one safety loop, connect the loops in
series across terminals 9 and 10. See Figures 7 and 8.
To activate the Safety Loop Detector you must install a
jumper across terminals 7 and 8, and enable Safety 2 by
choosing Y on the S2 function of the programming. See
the
Programming section on page 13.
For more detailed instructions on the loop detectors,
consult the Diablo Controls instruction sheet included
with your operator.
Plug-in Radio Receiver
The 885 CAT provides a terminal for the FAAC plug-in
radio receiver. Simply match the DIPswitches on the
receiver with those on the transmitters and plug it in to
the terminal labeled “DECODER” or “J6”. The receiver
can only be plugged in one way.
Slave Card
There is an optional card that enables you to run two
operators in a master/ slave configuration. It also has six
relays to give you contact closures at different positions.
See the
Optional Equipment section on page 16.
