breaker is OFF from incoming 
AC input wire BEFORE wiring!

DO NOT TURN POWER
ON AT THIS TIME.

DANGER

HIGH VOLTAGE!

230V

Operator MUST be Properly GROUNDED

Proper grounding of this gate operator is a 
requirement for LIGHTNING PROTECTION 
in lightning prone areas.

 To be effective, 

ground connections should be made with a 

minimum 12 AWG, 600 volt

 insulated wire 

to a ground point within 

10 feet of the gate operator

. The ground 

point must be at an 

electrical panel

, a 

metallic cold water pipe

 that 

runs in the earth, or a 

grounding rod

.

Ground

within 10 ft

of operator.

WARNING

WARNING

connect chassis

to ground rod for

lightning protection

Any of the Chassis Grounds can be used. They are located next to 
the gear reducer. 

DO NOT

 remove any existing green ground wires.

NOTE:

 Consult city codes for AC line wiring. 

Beware of existing underground services.
