A
MAX Magic Box
Kit (sold separately) is required to remotely install a
Remote Toroid 15 Amp box
at the AC power source.
Plug in Remote Toroid 15 Amp connector to
Power In
at MAX Magic Box. Wire input AC power to the Toroid 15 Amp box.
Choose either
115V
or
230V
setting on input AC power selector switch. Run 24V low voltage wires (not included) from the
MAX Magic Box
connection to the gate operator and wire to
POWER/SOLAR IN connector
(Polarity Matters!).
Remove the Remote Toroid 15 Amp connector from the BC-7 battery module
POWER/SOLAR IN
port. Plug the Magic Box
POWER/SOLAR IN
connector into the
POWER/SOLAR IN
port.
NOTE:
A
MAX Magic Box
kit is required for
EACH
gate operator
when using dual gate operators.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Maximum Control’s remote
power supply technology does
NOT
utilize the
battery power from the MAX BC-7 Battery
Module during
NORMAL
gate operation.
Battery power is reserved for back-up power
ONLY when an AC power failure occurs
. As a
result, battery life is
NOT
shortened.
This low voltage system can
CONTINUOUSLY
cycle the gate during
NORMAL
gate operation,
perfect for high traffic gate applications.

IMPORTANT:
MAX Magic Box and Gate Operator
MUST EACH
be Properly
GROUNDED
.
Proper
grounding 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 MAX
Magic Box and 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.
NOTE:
Beware of existing underground services.
