The AWG wire size for the electrical
service depends on the distance of the
operator from the breaker panel. Refer to
the table below to determine the correct
wire size. The NOMINAL column is the
ideal distance from the breaker panel to the
operator for a given wire size. The
distances shown in the NOMINAL column
should never be exceeded. For distances
greater than 1600', it is recommended that
your local utility be contacted to install a
service feeder for the installation.
Wiring from external controls such as guard
shack, telephone entry, keypad or card
reader systems should be brought to the
operator by a conduit separate from the 115
VAC electrical hookup. Low voltage
control wires MUST NEVER be routed in
the same conduit as A.C. power wires.
Always consult and follow all local
electrical codes.

ATTACHING THE CHAIN BRACKET
The chain brackets provided with the LP1000 operator should be
mounted on the the gate with the centerline of the slot 8" above the top
of the operator pad. Attach one end of the chain to the gate and thread
the other end through the idler pulleys and drive sprocket. Attach the
free end to the bracket on the gate and tension the chain. You will
normally require a welder, or an electric drill with a 3/8" bit, for
attaching the chain brackets to the gate. See Figures 8 and 9.
