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.

A
MAX Magic Box
Kit (sold separately) is required to remotely install the
MAX PS-24 Power Supply
from the gate operator
.
Remove
MAX PS-24 power supply
from gate operator and install in
MAX Magic Box
, plug in power supply to PS-24 connector.
Wire input AC power to the
MAX PS-24 Power Supply
(See page 18 for wiring).
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 and wire to
POWER/SOLAR IN connector
(Polarity Matters!). Plug connector into
POWER/SOLAR IN
port on the gate operator’s
MAX BC-7 battery module
.
NOTE:
A
MAX Magic Box
kit is required for
EACH
gate operator
when using dual gate operators.
